Product details
Overview
MCP3561R-E/ST from Microchip Technology is a single-channel, 24-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with programmable gain (0.33x–64x), 153.6 ksps max data rate, and integrated 2.4V voltage reference (15 ppm/°C drift). It delivers 106.7 dB SINAD and -116 dBc THD at 4800 SPS (gain = 1x), supports differential or single-ended inputs, and operates across -40°C to +125°C for high-accuracy sensor signal conditioning in industrial transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MCP3561R-E/ST datasheet, MCP3561R-E/ST pinout, MCP3561R-E/ST application, or MCP3561R-E/ST equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated UQFN/TSSOP package details, confirmed SPI timing (20 MHz, Mode 0,0/1,1), real-world noise performance (90 nVRMS at 16x/12.5 SPS), and two documented alternative parts with functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The MCP3561R-E/ST implements a second-order delta-sigma modulator with digital SINC³ filtering, configurable oversampling ratio (OSR = 32–98304), and internal sequencer (SCAN mode) enabling autonomous multi-channel conversion loops without MCU intervention. Its dual-clock architecture supports either internal RC oscillator (3.3–6.6 MHz) or external master clock (1–20 MHz).
It integrates burnout current sources for RTD/open-wire detection, a ±5°C internal temperature sensor, 24-bit offset/gain calibration registers, and security features including 16-bit CRC on SPI commands and register map lock with 8-bit secure key - all designed for robust operation in safety-critical embedded measurement systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1263IPW | 32-bit resolution, 40 ksps max, integrated PGA (1–128x), no internal reference; requires external 2.5V REF | Higher resolution but lower speed; better suited for ultra-low-frequency DC measurements (e.g., pH meters) | Select ADS1263IPW when >24-bit ENOB and ultra-low drift (<0.5 ppm/°C) are required, and external reference is acceptable. |
| MCP3564R-E/ST | Quad-channel version with identical 24-bit core, same gain/data rate specs, shared SPI bus, and identical package footprint | Direct channel count upgrade path for multi-sensor systems (e.g., 4-wire RTD + thermistor + voltage + current) | Choose MCP3564R-E/ST when expanding from single to quad analog inputs without changing PCB layout or firmware driver architecture. |
Compared with ADS1263IPW and MCP3564R-E/ST, the MCP3561R-E/ST uniquely balances single-channel simplicity, integrated 2.4V reference, and 153.6 ksps throughput - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, single-transducer applications where external reference omission and layout efficiency are decisive.

FAQ
What is the maximum achievable effective resolution of the MCP3561R-E/ST?
The MCP3561R-E/ST achieves up to 23.3 bits RMS effective resolution at low data rates (e.g., 12.5 SPS with 16x gain), verified by 90 nVRMS noise performance and 106.7 dB SINAD. This value reflects real-world dynamic performance under specified conditions-not theoretical bit count-and is directly usable in precision measurement system budgeting for the MCP3561R-E/ST.
Does the MCP3561R-E/ST support both differential and single-ended input configurations?
Yes, the MCP3561R-E/ST supports one differential input pair (CH0+/CH0−) or two single-ended inputs (CH0, CH1) via internal multiplexer control. REFIN− must be connected to AGND for single-ended operation, and input voltage range remains 0V to AVDD in both modes - confirmed in DS20006391C-page 7 and page 1.
How does the internal 2.4V reference perform over temperature?
The MCP3561R-E/ST internal 2.4V reference exhibits 15 ppm/°C typical drift over -40°C to +125°C (max 40 ppm/°C), with ±2% initial accuracy at +25°C. Its 14.3 µV RMS noise (chopper-enabled) and 12 ms settling time (with 1 µF bypass) are fully characterized - enabling direct use in high-stability ratiometric bridge measurements without external reference ICs.
Is the MCP3561R-E/ST pin-compatible with other members of the MCP356xR family?
Yes, the MCP3561R-E/ST shares identical 20-pin TSSOP and UQFN footprints and pin functions with MCP3562R-E/ST (dual-channel) and MCP3564R-E/ST (quad-channel), enabling scalable design reuse. Channel count differences are software-configurable; hardware layout remains unchanged across the family - explicitly confirmed in DS20006391C-page 2 and page 3.
What SPI modes and timing compliance does the MCP3561R-E/ST support?
The MCP3561R-E/ST supports SPI Modes 0,0 and 1,1 at up to 20 MHz (DVDD ≥2.7V) or 10 MHz (DVDD <2.7V), with guaranteed tSU/tHD of 5/10 ns and tDO/tDIS of ≤25 ns. All timing parameters are fully specified across -40°C to +125°C in Tables 1-1 and 1-2 of DS20006391C - ensuring reliable interoperability with ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V MCUs.
