Re: ADC in Atmega8

Hello,
I am doing a project using ATmega8. For that we need an ADC of atleast
5Msps. We first thought of using the built in ADC but I want to know
the maximum samples per second for the in built ADC? I guess it is
around 150Ksps but I am not sure. Can I increase this sample rate by
loading the prescalar value like one or 2? Could someone help.

I'm not aware of any of the 8-bit AVRs offering that kind of speed, but
there are plenty of pipelined ADC chips that provide these speeds or
faster, and which offer parallel, serial, I2C, and other interface
methods. Try Analog for starters.
