Product details
Overview
ADC081S021CISD/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, 8-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with SPI-compatible serial interface, specified for 50–200 ksps sample rates, 2.7–5.25 V supply, ±0.03 LSB typical INL/DNL, and 49.6 dB SNR at 100 kHz input. It serves as a low-power signal digitizer in portable instrumentation front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the ADC081S021CISD/NOPB datasheet, ADC081S021CISD/NOPB pinout, ADC081S021CISD/NOPB application, or ADC081S021CISD/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed performance across variable throughput, WSON/SOT-23 package options, shutdown power down to 2.6 µW, straight-binary output format, and industrial temperature range support (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The ADC081S021CISD/NOPB implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, enabling precise sampling over its full 50–200 ksps operational range. Its conversion timing is fully synchronized to the external SCLK, with CS-initiated frame control and 16-cycle readout (3 leading zeros + 8 data bits + 4 trailing zeros).
It supports dual functional modes: normal mode for continuous conversion (1.3–7.7 mW), and shutdown mode entered via CS high assertion between SCLK edges 2–10, reducing supply current to 500 nA (static) or 2.6 µW (active shutdown). The device operates with straight-binary coding, LSB = VA/256, and requires no external reference-VA serves as both supply and full-scale reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and deterministic code transitions. |
| Sample Rate Range | 50–200 ksps-fully characterized across this range, not just at a single rate. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.03 LSB typical-enables accurate DC measurement and low-distortion AC acquisition. |
| SNR | 49.6 dB typical at 100 kHz input-supports ~8.2 ENOB for medium-fidelity signal capture. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.25 V-compatible with single Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Power (3.6 V) | 1.3 mW typical-enables battery operation in portable sensors and remote nodes. |
| Shutdown Power | 2.6 µW at 5.25 V-allows ultra-low quiescent current between sporadic measurements. |
Pinout & Package
ADC081S021CISD/NOPB is available in a 6-pin WSON (NGF) package measuring 1.60 mm × 2.90 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. Pin functions are validated per TI SNAS308G Rev G.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VA | Positive analog supply | Single 2.7–5.25 V rail powering analog core and serving as full-scale reference; requires local 1-µF + 0.1-µF bypassing. |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground | Common return for supply and signals; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 3 - VIN | Analog input | Unipolar input range 0 V to VA; 30 pF input capacitance in track mode; 4 pF in hold mode. |
| 4 - SCLK | Serial clock input | Master-controlled clock (1–4 MHz); falling edge triggers conversion steps and data output timing. |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial data output | Tri-state CMOS output delivering 16-bit frame (3+8+4) on SCLK falling edges; high-impedance when CS high. |
| 6 - CS | Chip select | Active-low control initiating conversion and framing; falling edge starts conversion, rising edge terminates output and enables shutdown entry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multi-rate characterization | Full electrical specs guaranteed from 50 ksps to 200 ksps-eliminates interpolation uncertainty in variable-throughput designs. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility | Direct interface to common microcontroller peripherals without protocol translation or glue logic. |
| Variable power management | Dynamic trade-off between throughput and power via CS-controlled shutdown-enables adaptive energy use in duty-cycled systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822IDR | 8-bit, 200 ksps, 2.7–5.25 V, but uses pseudo-differential input and requires external reference; higher typical power (2.5 mW @ 3.3 V). | Requires differential signal conditioning and separate reference-less suitable for single-ended sensor interfaces. | Select ADC081S021CISD/NOPB for simpler single-ended designs with integrated reference; choose ADS7822IDR only if differential input rejection is required. |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 8-bit, 500 ksps, 2.7–3.6 V, SPI-compatible, but lacks guaranteed multi-rate spec and has wider INL (±0.25 LSB max). | Higher speed but looser linearity; not rated for 5.25 V operation-limits compatibility with 5 V microcontrollers. | Choose ADC081S021CISD/NOPB when guaranteed 50–200 ksps performance and tight INL are critical; MAX11100ETE+ suits cost-sensitive, higher-speed, lower-accuracy cases. |
Compared with ADS7822IDR and MAX11100ETE+, ADC081S021CISD/NOPB delivers tighter INL/DNL across its entire sample rate range while supporting full 2.7–5.25 V operation and requiring no external reference-making it optimal for robust, low-component-count analog digitization in portable and industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed sample rate for ADC081S021CISD/NOPB?
The ADC081S021CISD/NOPB is fully specified and guaranteed for operation up to 200 ksps across its entire temperature and supply voltage range. While functional beyond this rate, only the 50–200 ksps band is characterized for all parameters including INL, DNL, SNR, and timing compliance per TI SNAS308G Rev G.
Does ADC081S021CISD/NOPB require an external voltage reference?
No, ADC081S021CISD/NOPB does not require an external voltage reference. It uses the VA supply pin (2.7–5.25 V) as both power source and full-scale reference, with LSB = VA/256. This eliminates external reference components and simplifies layout for single-supply systems.
How does the shutdown mode of ADC081S021CISD/NOPB work?
ADC081S021CISD/NOPB enters shutdown mode when CS is pulled high between the 2nd and 10th falling edges of SCLK after CS goes low. This disables analog circuitry, reducing supply current to 500 nA (static) or 2.6 µW (with 5.25 V supply). A valid conversion resumes after CS is brought low again and power-up completes in ≤1 µs.
Which packages are offered for ADC081S021CISD/NOPB?
ADC081S021CISD/NOPB is available in two RoHS-compliant, lead-free packages: 6-pin SOT-23 (DBV, 2.50 mm × 2.20 mm) and 6-pin WSON (NGF, 1.60 mm × 2.90 mm). Both share identical pinout and electrical specifications; the WSON variant offers smaller footprint and improved thermal performance (θJA = 99.8°C/W).
Is ADC081S021CISD/NOPB compatible with standard SPI interfaces?
Yes, ADC081S021CISD/NOPB is fully compatible with standard SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE interfaces. It uses a 3-wire serial protocol (CS, SCLK, SDATA) with falling-edge clocking, MSB-first straight-binary output, and no requirement for MOSI-making it interoperable with most microcontroller SPI peripherals without configuration changes.
