Product details
Overview
ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, 8-bit successive-approximation ADC with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, operating at 0.5–1 Msps sample rates, 2.7V–5.25V supply, and delivering 49.7 dB SNR and ±0.05 LSB INL (typ) - used for precision analog monitoring in portable instrumentation and remote data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB datasheet, ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB pinout, ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB application, or ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed performance across 500 ksps–1 Msps, low-power shutdown mode (2.5 µW @ 5V), straight-binary output format, and compatibility with microprocessor/DSP host interfaces requiring minimal board space.
Technical Context
The ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB implements a charge-redistribution DAC core with internal track-and-hold, enabling precise sampling of analog inputs up to VA (2.7V–5.25V). Its conversion timing is fully synchronized to the SCLK falling edge, with aperture jitter of 30 ps and acquisition time of 350 ns max.
It operates in two modes: normal (CS low, active conversion and serial readout) and shutdown (CS high, 2.5 µW quiescent power). The SDATA output is tri-state controlled by CS, and supports 16-cycle frame structure: three leading zeros, eight MSB-first data bits, and four trailing zeros.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - delivers 256 discrete output codes with no missing codes guaranteed. |
| Sample Rate Range | 500 ksps to 1 Msps - fully specified performance across full range, not just at single rate. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.05 LSB / ±0.07 LSB (typ) - ensures monotonicity and accurate code spacing for control-loop feedback. |
| SNR | 49.7 dB (typ) - enables ~7.9 ENOB for clean digitization of sensor-level signals up to 100 kHz. |
| Power Consumption | 2.0 mW @ 3V / 10.0 mW @ 5V (normal); 2.5 µW @ 5V (shutdown) - supports battery-powered operation with dynamic power scaling. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.25V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP compatible - simplifies integration with common microcontrollers and DSPs. |
Pinout & Package
ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB is packaged in a 6-lead WSON (2.0 mm × 2.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad - optimized for compact PCB layouts and thermal performance (θJA = 94°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VA | Analog supply input | Provides reference and power for analog core; must be bypassed with 1 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors within 1 cm. |
| CS | Chip select input | Falling edge initiates conversion and enables SDATA; high state forces shutdown mode. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground | Common return for VA, VIN, and digital I/O; center pad must be connected to GND for thermal and EMI integrity. |
| SDATA | Serial data output | Tri-state, MSB-first straight-binary output; driven only when CS is low and during SCLK falling edges. |
| VIN | Analog input | Single-ended input referenced to GND, range 0 V to VA; input capacitance is 4 pF (hold) / 30 pF (track). |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Controls conversion timing and data readout; supports 25 kHz–20 MHz; duty cycle 40–60%. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full-range sample-rate specification | Performance guaranteed from 500 ksps to 1 Msps - eliminates need for derating or interpolation in variable-throughput designs. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | 2.5 µW quiescent power at 5V - enables microamp-level system sleep states without external power gating. |
| Supply-voltage-independent digital I/O | Digital pins tolerate −0.3V to +5.25V regardless of VA - permits direct interfacing with 1.8V/3.3V/5V hosts without level shifters. |
| Internal track-and-hold with low aperture jitter | 30 ps aperture jitter - preserves signal integrity for AC-coupled sensor inputs up to 100 kHz. |
| No missing codes | Guaranteed monotonic transfer function - critical for closed-loop control and safety-critical monitoring applications. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADC081S051CIMFX/NOPB | Specified for 200–500 ksps range; identical pinout and interface; lower max sample rate. | Better suited for cost-sensitive, medium-speed applications (e.g., basic sensor polling) where 1 Msps is unnecessary. | Select ADC081S051CIMFX/NOPB when system throughput requirements are ≤500 ksps and lower power at reduced speed is prioritized. |
| ADC081S021CIMFX/NOPB | Specified for 50–200 ksps range; same package and serial protocol; higher noise floor at low speeds. | Targeted at ultra-low-power, low-bandwidth monitoring (e.g., battery voltage logging, ambient light sensing). | Choose ADC081S021CIMFX/NOPB for sub-200 ksps applications where minimum active current (0.6 mA @ 3.6V) outweighs speed needs. |
Compared with ADC081S051CIMFX/NOPB and ADC081S021CIMFX/NOPB, the ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB provides the highest guaranteed throughput (1 Msps) and best dynamic performance (49.7 dB SNR) within the pin-compatible ADC081S family - making it optimal for real-time signal capture where speed and fidelity are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed sample rate for ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB?
The ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB is fully specified for operation up to 1 Msps across its entire industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supply range (2.7V–5.25V). This is not a typical-only rating - all key specifications including INL, DNL, and SNR are ensured at 1 Msps per the SNAS310D datasheet revision January 2014.
Does ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB require an external reference voltage?
No. ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB uses its VA supply pin as the analog reference - the full-scale input range is 0 V to VA. This eliminates need for external reference components but requires clean, well-bypassed VA supply to maintain 49.7 dB SNR performance; decoupling with 1 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors within 1 cm of VA is mandatory.
How does the power-down mode work on ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB?
ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB enters shutdown mode when CS is held high; quiescent current drops to 2.5 µW at 5V. It resumes normal operation on the next CS falling edge, with 1 µs power-up time. No initialization sequence is required - the device is immediately ready for conversion after wake-up.
Is ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB pin-compatible with other members of the ADC081S family?
Yes. ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB shares identical 6-pin WSON/SOT-23 pinout and serial interface timing with ADC081S021CIMFX/NOPB and ADC081S051CIMFX/NOPB. All three support the same 3-zero / 8-data / 4-zero SDATA frame and respond identically to CS/SCLK control - enabling drop-in resolution or speed upgrades.
What is the input impedance and drive requirement for VIN on ADC081S101CIMFX/NOPB?
VIN presents 30 pF capacitance in track mode and 4 pF in hold mode, with series resistance dominated by internal switch (≈500 Ω). To avoid distortion, the source impedance should be ≤1 kΩ for DC accuracy and ≤100 Ω for AC signals above 10 kHz; an anti-aliasing filter is recommended for dynamic inputs.
