The RHFAD128 GUI
Introduction
The RHFAD128 is specifically designed to sustain ionizing dose and heavy ions for space applications by using a high-end
proven CMOS technology.
This device is a low-power, multiplexed eight-channel 12-bit analog-to-digital converter for conversion from 50 ksps to 1 Msps.
The architecture is based on the successive-approximation register with internal track-and-hold. The RHFAD128 features 8
analog inputs that can be programmed to be either 8 single-ended or 4 differential inputs using the control register bits. The
output serial data are straight binary and are compatible with SPI.
EVAL-RHFAD128V2 is the evaluation board of the RHFAD128.
This board can be connected to a NUCLEO-L476RG and be monitored with a graphical user interface (GUI): the
RHFAD128_GUI.
