MCP3421 is a single channel, low-noise, high accuracy delta-sigma A/D converter with differential inputs and up to 18 bits of resolution in a small SOT-23-6 package. The on-board precision 2.048V reference voltage enables an input range of ±2.048V differentially.
The device uses a two-wire I2C compatible serial interface and operates from a single power supply ranging from 2.7V to 5.5V, has a decent price and looks like a good companion for our ESP8266 module.
I have run some tests and it's looking quite well for a cheap ADC
