Product details
Overview
ADC08831IMM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with integrated 2-channel analog multiplexer, track/hold function, and 3-wire serial interface (CS, CLK, DI/DO). It operates from a single 5V supply, delivers ±1 LSB total unadjusted error, and achieves 4 μs max conversion time at 2 MHz clock - enabling real-time sensor digitization in compact embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADC08831IMM/NOPB datasheet, ADC08831IMM/NOPB pinout, ADC08831IMM/NOPB application, or ADC08831IMM/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed-polarity differential input architecture, VREF pin availability for ratiometric or absolute reference scaling, TTL/CMOS-compatible I/O, and low-power mode activation via CS high.
Technical Context
The ADC08831IMM/NOPB implements a successive-approximation register (SAR) core with built-in sample-and-hold, using a ratioed capacitor array for first 5 bits and resistor ladder for last 3 bits. Its analog front-end features 300 Ω series resistance and 13 pF sampling capacitance per input, requiring <1 μs acquisition time at fCLK = 2 MHz.
Digital control uses a MICROWIRE-compliant 3-wire serial protocol: CS initiates conversion, CLK synchronizes data transfer, and DI shifts in start bit + MUX address (though ADC08831 has fixed single-ended/differential configuration and no MUX addressing). DO outputs MSB-first 8-bit result after conversion completes in exactly 8 clock cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit SAR - delivers 256 discrete output codes with no missing codes over −40°C to +85°C. |
| Conversion Time | 4 μs maximum at 2 MHz clock - enables up to 181 ksps sampling rate without external timing overhead. |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1 LSB maximum - includes offset, full-scale, linearity, and multiplexer errors; eliminates need for zero/full-scale calibration. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 6.0 V - supports standard 5 V logic rails and tolerates ±10% variation without performance degradation. |
| Power Dissipation | 8.5 mW typical at 5 V, CS low - drops to 3.0 mW typical in low-power mode (CS high), reducing thermal load in battery-powered designs. |
| Analog Input Range | GND to VCC (−50 mV to VCC + 50 mV) - allows direct interfacing with transducers and sensors without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Reference Interface | External VREF pin - enables flexible ratiometric (VREF = VCC) or precision absolute (e.g., LM385-2.5V) reference configurations. |
Pinout & Package
ADC08831IMM/NOPB is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP (DGK) package - 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Positive supply rail | Provides power for analog core, digital logic, and internal reference divider; bypassing with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor to GND is mandatory. |
| GND | Analog and digital ground | Single-point connection to analog ground plane required; separates noise-sensitive analog paths from digital switching currents. |
| VREF | Reference voltage input | Sets full-scale range (VIN = 0 to VREF); must drive ≥2.8 kΩ load; tied to VCC for ratiometric operation. |
| IN+ | Positive analog input | Accepts single-ended or differential inputs; internally connected to 300 Ω + 13 pF sampling network. |
| IN− | Negative analog input | Enables true differential or pseudo-differential measurement; polarity fixed per ADC08831 design (IN+ > IN− yields positive code). |
| CS | Chip select / conversion trigger | Active-low signal that initiates conversion sequence and controls low-power mode (high = static current reduction). |
| CLK | Serial clock input | Drives internal timing; accepts 10 kHz–2 MHz square wave with 40–60% duty cycle; defines conversion speed and sampling rate. |
| DI/DO | Serial data I/O | Bidirectional pin: receives start bit during MUX setup (not used in ADC08831), then outputs MSB-first 8-bit result after conversion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated track/hold | Eliminates need for external S/H circuitry; acquires analog signal during conversion, enabling accurate sampling of dynamic waveforms. |
| 2-channel analog multiplexer | Hardware-configurable single-ended or differential input pair (IN+/IN−) - simplifies multi-sensor monitoring without external switches. |
| 3-wire serial interface | Reduces board routing complexity and EMI susceptibility versus parallel ADCs; compatible with microcontrollers lacking dedicated SPI peripherals. |
| No calibration required | Guaranteed ±1 LSB TUE and monotonic transfer function across temperature - removes production test steps and field recalibration. |
| Low-power mode | Reduces supply current to ~0.6 mA (typ) when CS = high - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like remote sensors. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADC0831LCN/NOPB | Legacy 8-pin DIP version with identical electrical specs but larger footprint and no VSSOP option. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board refreshes where rework is constrained. | Select when mechanical compatibility with existing DIP sockets or hand-soldered assemblies is required. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit SAR ADC with SPI interface, 200 ksps, and internal reference; higher resolution but higher power (1.2 mW active). | Suitable for applications needing >8-bit precision (e.g., medical sensors), but requires additional reference management. | Choose when resolution upgrade justifies cost and layout changes; not drop-in due to different pinout, voltage levels, and timing. |
Compared with ADC08831IMM/NOPB, ADC0831LCN/NOPB offers identical functionality in legacy packaging but lacks surface-mount efficiency, while ADS7822U provides higher resolution at the expense of increased complexity and power - making ADC08831IMM/NOPB optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 8-bit embedded digitization.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by ADC08831IMM/NOPB?
The ADC08831IMM/NOPB supports a maximum clock frequency of 2 MHz, as specified in its operating ratings. At this frequency, conversion time is guaranteed ≤4 μs, enabling up to 181 ksps sampling. Operation below 10 kHz is not recommended, as timing margins degrade and acquisition may be incomplete. The device requires a 40–60% duty cycle clock waveform for reliable operation across temperature.
Does ADC08831IMM/NOPB require external zero or full-scale calibration?
No, ADC08831IMM/NOPB does not require external zero or full-scale adjustment. Its total unadjusted error is guaranteed ≤±1 LSB over −40°C to +85°C, covering offset, full-scale, linearity, and multiplexer errors. This eliminates production calibration steps and ensures consistent performance across units and temperature without user intervention.
Can ADC08831IMM/NOPB operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, ADC08831IMM/NOPB is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its absolute maximum supply voltage is 6.5 V, but the minimum operating voltage is 4.5 V per the datasheet. At 3.3 V, internal biasing fails, reference divider malfunctions, and digital logic thresholds are violated - resulting in undefined behavior, failed conversions, or permanent damage. Use only within 4.5–6.0 V range.
How does the analog input structure of ADC08831IMM/NOPB affect source impedance requirements?
The ADC08831IMM/NOPB presents a 300 Ω series resistance and 13 pF sampling capacitance at each analog input. For full accuracy, the source impedance must allow settling within ½ clock period (e.g., 250 ns at 2 MHz). Sources >1 kΩ introduce >1 mV error due to ±1 μA leakage current; use op-amp buffering or RC filters for high-impedance sensors to ensure valid conversion results.
Is ADC08831IMM/NOPB pin-compatible with ADC0831?
Yes, ADC08831IMM/NOPB is a superior pin-compatible replacement for ADC0831, sharing identical pinout, electrical specifications, and functional behavior in 8-pin SOIC and VSSOP packages. TI explicitly states this compatibility in the datasheet features list, confirming drop-in replacement capability without PCB or firmware changes for legacy ADC0831 designs.
