Interfacing Microchip MCP3201 A/D Converter to 8051-Based Microcontroller

From Microchip Technology, Inc.
 

 
In embedded controller applications, it is often desirable to provide a means to digitize analog signals. The MCP3201 12-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter gives the designer an easy means to add this feature to a microcontroller with a minimal number of connections.
