Many 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers feature 10-bitinternal ADCs. A few include 12-bit ADCs, but these oftenhave poor or nonexistent AC specifi cations, and certainlylack the performance to meet the needs of an increasingnumber of applications. The LTC®2366 and its slowerspeed versions offer a high performance alternative, asshown in the AC specifi cations in TabLE 1. Compare theseguaranteed specifi cations with the ADC built into yourcurrent microcontroller.
