SparkFun Blocks for Intel® Edison - ADC V20





Introduction

SparkFun’s ADC Block for the Intel Edison allows you to add four channels

of I2C controlled ADC input to your Edison stack. These four channels can

be used as single-ended inputs, or in pairs as differential inputs. A ground

reference is provided for each channel.

The maximum resolution of the converters is 12 bits, or 11 bits bipolar in

differential mode. Step sizes range from 125uV per count to 3mV per count.
