Product details
Overview
ADC081S101CISD/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 on a single 2.7V–5.25V supply. It features ±0.05 LSB typical INL, 49.7 dB SNR, and 2.0 mW power consumption at 3V - deployed in portable instrumentation for low-power analog signal digitization.
For engineers reviewing the ADC081S101CISD/NOPB datasheet, ADC081S101CISD/NOPB pinout, ADC081S101CISD/NOPB application, or ADC081S101CISD/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed performance across 500 ksps–1 Msps (not just at one rate), tri-state SDATA output timing control, track-and-hold acquisition window compliance (≥350 ns), and WSON-6 package thermal resistance of 94°C/W.
Technical Context
The ADC081S101CISD/NOPB uses a charge-redistribution DAC core with internal track-and-hold, initiating conversion on CS falling edge and sampling at aperture delay tAD = 3 ns. Its straight-binary output delivers 3 leading zeros + 8 data bits + 4 trailing zeros over 16 SCLK falling edges.
It supports variable power management via CS-controlled shutdown mode (2.5 µW at 5V), operates across −40°C to +85°C, and maintains full AC/DC specifications over its entire 2.7V–5.25V supply range - unlike legacy 8-bit converters specified only at nominal VCC.
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 this full range, not extrapolated. |
| INL (typ) | ±0.05 LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.02% full-scale linearity error in closed-loop sensor systems. |
| SNR (typ) | 49.7 dB - corresponds to ~7.9 effective bits (ENOB) for 100 kHz input signals. |
| Power (3V) | 2.0 mW (typ) - enables battery operation in portable data loggers with >100-hour runtime at 500 ksps. |
| Shutdown Power | 2.5 µW (at 5V) - reduces average power by >99% during idle intervals in duty-cycled sensing. |
| Aperture Jitter | 30 ps (typ) - limits noise floor degradation in medium-frequency AC measurement applications. |
Pinout & Package
The ADC081S101CISD/NOPB is housed in a 6-pin WSON package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (recommended grounded). Pin 1 is VA; pin 2 is GND; pin 3 is VIN; pin 4 is SCLK; pin 5 is SDATA; pin 6 is CS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VA (Pin 1) | Analog supply input | Reference and power source for ADC core; must be bypassed with 1 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors within 1 cm. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog/digital ground return | Common reference for analog input, digital interface, and internal logic; center pad must be connected to GND. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Analog input | 0 V to VA range; input capacitance = 30 pF (track) / 4 pF (hold); requires low-impedance drive for AC accuracy. |
| SCLK (Pin 4) | Serial clock input | Controls conversion timing and data readout; accepts 25 kHz–20 MHz clocks; duty cycle 40–60% required. |
| SDATA (Pin 5) | Digital data output | Tri-state CMOS output; drives 15 pF load; outputs 3+8+4 bit frame on SCLK falling edges. |
| CS (Pin 6) | Chip select | Falling edge initiates conversion; high state forces shutdown mode; rising edge terminates data transfer. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full-rate specification | Guaranteed DNL (±0.07 LSB), INL (±0.05 LSB), and SNR (49.7 dB) across 500 ksps–1 Msps - eliminates derating uncertainty. |
| Flexible supply range | 2.7V–5.25V operation enables direct interfacing with Li-ion batteries (3.0–4.2V) or 3.3V/5V system rails without LDOs. |
| Multi-standard serial interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP compatibility allows drop-in replacement in existing microcontroller firmware without protocol changes. |
| Low-noise track-and-hold | 30 pF input capacitance in track mode and 4 pF in hold mode minimize settling error and enable <100 ns acquisition time. |
| Thermal-enhanced WSON | 94°C/W θJA enables continuous 1 Msps operation at +85°C ambient without external heatsinking. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADC081S051CISD/NOPB | Specified for 200–500 ksps range; lower max sample rate; identical pinout and interface. | Better suited for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 500 ksps suffices and 1 Msps headroom is unnecessary. | Select when system throughput requirement is ≤500 ksps and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over speed margin. |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed sample rate for ADC081S101CISD/NOPB with full AC specifications?
The ADC081S101CISD/NOPB is fully specified and guaranteed at 1 Msps across all key AC parameters including SNR (49.7 dB), THD (−77 dB), and SFDR (68 dB) under standard test conditions (fIN = 100 kHz, VA = 2.7–5.25 V). This is confirmed in Table 1 and Section 6.5 of the SNAS310D datasheet, distinguishing it from derivatives rated only up to 500 ksps.
Does ADC081S101CISD/NOPB require an external reference voltage?
No - the ADC081S101CISD/NOPB uses its VA supply pin as the reference, eliminating need for external references. Its transfer function scales linearly from 0 V to VA, with LSB = VA/256. This simplifies design but requires clean, low-noise VA regulation - TI recommends local 1 µF + 0.1 µF bypassing per Figure 21.
Can ADC081S101CISD/NOPB interface directly with 1.8V logic microcontrollers?
Yes - digital inputs (CS, SCLK) tolerate voltages up to +5.25 V regardless of VA, enabling safe interfacing with 1.8V, 3.3V, or 5V controllers. However, SDATA output swing is rail-to-rail (0 V to VA), so a level shifter is required if VA > 1.8V and the MCU input threshold is strict.
What is the acquisition time requirement before the next CS pulse for ADC081S101CISD/NOPB?
The ADC081S101CISD/NOPB requires ≥350 ns quiet time (tACQ) between the 13th rising edge of SCLK and the next CS falling edge to ensure full accuracy. This is explicitly defined in Section 8.5.1 and Figure 3 of the datasheet - violating this interval degrades DNL and INL performance.
Is the WSON package of ADC081S101CISD/NOPB lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the "/NOPB" suffix in ADC081S101CISD/NOPB denotes lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS-compliant construction. The WSON package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles for lead-free soldering, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260°C per TI's SNOA549 specification.
