It connects seamlessly via the Raspberry Pi SPI interface and supports stackable configurations for enhanced project capabilities. With built-in voltage shifting for protection and flexible power options, this kit is perfect for tech enthusiasts looking to expand their Raspberry Pi projects. ## Description The Raspberry PI HAT - 8 Channel ADC (HAT8ADCK) is an 8 channel 12 bit analogue to digital converter with SPI serial interface, designed to work with the Raspberry Pi A+, Raspberry Pi B+, Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. This is a kit edition, in order to solder it, you only need a soldering iron and tin. The HAT8ADCK is based on Microchip MCP3208 A/D converter chip, containing 8 analogue inputs and use the SPI interface to communicate with the Raspberry Pi. The HAT8ADCK was designed to work as a single ended A/D converter. The HAT8ADCK has four options for reference voltage. Using the 12 bits Microchip MCP3208 chip, the range from cero to the voltage reference can be divided in 4095 spaces so you can obtain different resolutions when change the voltage reference. The HAT8ADCK may be powered thru a 5V input polarized male connector (female cable to connect external supply included) or thru the Raspberry Pi GPIO 5V pins. If you use the first option you can power the Raspberry Pi shorting the "Back PWR" jumper or isolate the Pi and the HAT8ADCK keeping it open. In order to power the HAT8ADCK thru the Raspberry Pi GPIO 5V pins the "Back PWR" jumper must be shorted. The extended pins on the GPIO connector allow you to stack the HAT8ADC along with other expansion boards. The right angle headers allow you to connect the Inputs while the boards are stacked. You can use up to 2 HAT8ADCK stacked in a single Raspberry Pi, for a total of 16 inputs, due to the SPI interface has only two CE pins on GPIO. You can choose from CE0 and CE1 using the corresponding jumper on the board. The MCP3208 chip is capable of conversion rates of up to 100 ksps (kilo samples per second).
