Detailed description

Overview

The AD7680 is a 2.5V to 5.5V SPI compatible, successive approximation analogue to digital converter (ADC).

The reference for the AD7680 is taken internally from VDD

Examples

This example reads the voltage on the AD7680 Vin and converts the ADC results into a voltage. For the result to be correct, you must change the Voltage variable to match the supply voltage.
