DocumentDocumentUM3165 User manual 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.
