Product details
Overview
ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface, operating at 50–200 ksps sample rates over 2.7V–5.25V supply, featuring ±0.14 LSB INL (typ), 61.6 dB SNR (typ), and 2.34 mW power consumption at 3.6V - used for precision analog monitoring in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB datasheet, ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB pinout, ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB application, or ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed performance across full 50–200 ksps range, straight-binary output format, track-and-hold architecture with 350 ns acquisition time, and dual 6-lead WSON/SOT-23 package compatibility.
Technical Context
The ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with internal track-and-hold, enabling precise sampling of analog inputs from 0 V to VA. Its conversion timing is fully synchronized to the SCLK falling edge, with aperture jitter of 30 ps and throughput time defined by 20 SCLK cycles per sample.
It supports three-wire serial communication (CS, SCLK, SDATA) with straight-binary 10-bit output preceded by three leading zeros and followed by two trailing zeros. Power management is controlled via CS: pulling CS high before the 10th SCLK falling edge enters shutdown mode, reducing current to 500 nA at +5.25V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit with no missing codes - ensures monotonic transfer function and deterministic code mapping for control-loop feedback. |
| Sample Rate Range | 50–200 ksps fully specified - eliminates need for derating or interpolation when scaling sampling frequency in embedded systems. |
| INL / DNL | +0.14 / −0.13 LSB (max), +0.16 / −0.09 LSB (typ) - enables <±0.014% full-scale linearity error in sensor signal conditioning. |
| SNR | 61.6 dB (typ) at 100 kHz input - supports >9.9 ENOB for accurate digitization of low-noise analog sensor outputs. |
| Power Consumption | 2.34 mW at 3.6V / 200 ksps - allows battery-powered operation for >1 year in 10 ksps duty-cycled data loggers. |
| Aperture Jitter | 30 ps (typ) - limits sampling uncertainty to <0.05% of 100 kHz period, preserving dynamic performance in AC measurements. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.25V - permits direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
The ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB is available in 6-lead WSON (NGF) and SOT-23 (DBV) packages, both RoHS-compliant and rated for −40°C to +85°C industrial operation. The WSON variant features an exposed thermal pad recommended for grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VA | Analog supply input | Reference and power source for ADC core; requires local 1 µF + 0.1 µF bypassing within 1 cm to maintain SNR. |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground return | Common reference for analog input, digital interface, and internal logic; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 3 - VIN | Analog input | Single-ended input ranging 0 V to VA; driven by ≤500 Ω source impedance to meet 350 ns acquisition spec. |
| 4 - SCLK | Serial clock input | Edge-triggered master clock (1–4 MHz); falling edges clock out 10-bit data on SDATA, controlling conversion timing. |
| 5 - SDATA | Digital data output | Tri-state serial output delivering 3 leading zeros + 10 data bits + 2 trailing zeros; high-impedance when CS is high. |
| 6 - CS | Chip select input | Active-low initiation signal; falling edge starts conversion and enables SDATA; high state forces shutdown mode (≤500 nA). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADC101S051CIMF/NOPB | Same pinout and interface, but specified for 200–500 ksps range; higher typical power (3.1 mW @ 3.6V). | Better suited for higher-throughput control loops requiring >200 ksps sustained sampling. | Select ADC101S051CIMF/NOPB only if design requires guaranteed performance above 200 ksps. |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed sample rate for ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB?
The ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB is fully specified and guaranteed for operation from 50 ksps to 200 ksps. While the device can achieve up to 1 Msps under certain conditions, only the 50–200 ksps range ensures all electrical characteristics-including INL, SNR, and DNL-meet datasheet limits across temperature and supply voltage. This makes ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB ideal for applications requiring predictable, validated performance without derating.
Does ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB require an external reference voltage?
No, ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB uses its analog supply voltage (VA) as the reference, eliminating the need for an external precision reference. The full-scale range is 0 V to VA, and output codes scale linearly with VA. This simplifies design and reduces BOM count, though designers must ensure VA is clean and stable-TI recommends local 1 µF + 0.1 µF bypassing-to maintain the specified 61.6 dB SNR and 9.9 ENOB.
How does power management work on ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB?
Power management on ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB is controlled exclusively via the CS pin. Pulling CS high before the 10th SCLK falling edge after initiation places the device in shutdown mode, reducing supply current to 500 nA (at +5.25V). In normal operation (CS low), it draws 0.65 mA at 3.6V/200 ksps. This enables precise duty-cycled operation-e.g., waking for 100 µs bursts every second-making ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB highly suitable for battery-powered IoT endpoints.
Is ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB compatible with standard SPI interfaces?
Yes, ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB is fully compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and common DSP serial interfaces. It uses a three-wire interface (CS, SCLK, SDATA) with data clocked out on SCLK falling edges in straight-binary format: three leading zeros, ten data bits (MSB first), and two trailing zeros. No configuration register or command sequence is needed-making integration with STM32, MSP430, or PIC microcontrollers straightforward and firmware-light.
What package options are available for ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB?
The ADC101S021CIMFX/NOPB is offered in two RoHS-compliant 6-pin packages: SOT-23 (DBV) and WSON (NGF). Both support the same pinout and electrical specifications, operate from −40°C to +85°C, and share identical timing and accuracy performance. The WSON package includes an exposed thermal pad recommended for grounding to improve thermal dissipation and noise immunity in high-density layouts.
