DDC3256 Overview
The DDC3256 is a 24-bit, 256-channel, current-input analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. It bines both, current-to-voltage conversion by current integration, and A/D conversion. Up to 256 individual low-level current output devices, such as photodiodes, can be directly connected to its inputs and digitized in parallel (simultaneously).
