and 2-Channel Single-Ended ADCs
1 General Description
The AS1524/AS1525 are low-power, 12-bit analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs) designed to operate with a sin-
gle +2.7V to +5.25V supply. Excellent dynamic perfor-
mance, low power consumption, and simplicity make
these devices perfect for portable battery-powered data-
acquisition applications.
The devices are available as the standard products

3-Wire SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-Compatible Serial
Interface
Internal Conversion Clock
8-pin TDFN (3x3mm) Package
The devices feature a successive-approximation regis-
ter (SAR), automatic shutdown, fast wakeup (1.4µs),
and low-power consumption at the maximum sampling
rate of 150ksps.
Automatic shutdown (0.2µA) between conversions
results in reduced power consumption (at slower
throughput rates).
Data access are made via an external clock through the
SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible 3-wire high-speed
serial interface.
The AS1525/AS1524 are available in a 8-pin TDFN
(3x3mm) package.

3 Applications
The devices are ideal for remote sensors, data-acquisi-
tion, data logging devices, lab instruments, or for any
other space-limited A/D devices with low power con-
sumption and single-supply requirements.
