Add 8 channels of 10-bit analog input to your Raspberry Pi or microcontroller project with this MCP3008 ADC chip. The Pi lacks a built-in analog-to-digital converter, making this chip an essential addition for reading sensors, potentiometers, and other analog devices.

Communication is via SPI, requiring only 4 pins for connection. The chip is easy to wire and well-documented with extensive tutorials available.

Key Features

  • 8 Analog Channels – Read up to 8 analog inputs simultaneously
  • 10-Bit Resolution – 1024 steps for accurate readings
  • SPI Interface – Only 4 pins required for communication
  • Wide Voltage Range – 2.7V to 5.5V operation
  • 200 ksps Sampling – Fast conversion rate

Ideal For

  • Adding analog inputs to Raspberry Pi
  • Reading potentiometers and sensors
  • Audio and light level monitoring
  • Data logging projects
