Product details
Overview
ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, 10-bit successive-approximation ADC with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface, operating at 200–500 ksps sample rates, 2.7V–5.25V supply, and −40°C to +125°C temperature range. It delivers 61.6 dB SNR (typ), ±0.15 LSB INL (typ), and 2.6 µW shutdown power, used in automotive sensor signal conditioning and high-reliability remote data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB datasheet, ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB pinout, ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB application, or ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, WSON-6 package compatibility, 10-bit resolution with no missing codes, and low-power serial ADC integration for space-constrained industrial and automotive control systems.
Technical Context
The ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB uses a charge-redistribution DAC core with internal track-and-hold, enabling precise sampling at up to 500 ksps without external components. Its conversion timing is fully synchronous to SCLK, with aperture jitter of 30 ps and acquisition time ≤350 ns.
It implements a three-wire serial interface (CS, SCLK, SDATA) with straight-binary output, supporting SPI frame formats including three leading zeros, ten data bits (MSB first), and two trailing zeros. The device transitions between track and hold modes on defined SCLK edges, with CS controlling both conversion initiation and output tri-state enable/disable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full input range. |
| Sample Rate | 200–500 ksps - fully specified performance across this range, enabling flexible throughput tuning without derating. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.15 LSB (typ) / +0.15/−0.11 LSB (typ) - ensures high linearity for precision measurement in closed-loop control. |
| SNR | 61.6 dB (typ) at 100 kHz input - supports >9.9 ENOB for accurate digitization of analog sensor outputs. |
| Supply Range | +2.7 V to +5.25 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V logic and mixed-voltage systems. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood automotive applications. |
| Shutdown Power | 2.6 µW at +5.25 V - enables ultra-low-power duty-cycled sensing in battery-operated telemetry nodes. |
Pinout & Package
The ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB is packaged in a 6-pin WSON (6-mm², 2 mm × 2 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad, rated for −40°C to +125°C operation and qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VA | Analog supply | Primary power rail (2.7–5.25 V); must be bypassed with 1 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors within 1 cm for stable reference and noise immunity. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground | Common return for analog input, digital interface, and supply; center pad must be connected to GND for thermal and EMI performance. |
| VIN | Analog input | Single-ended input referenced to GND, range 0 V to VA; input capacitance is 4 pF (hold) / 30 pF (track), requiring low-impedance drive. |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Controls conversion timing and data readout; supports 25 kHz–20 MHz frequency with 40–60% duty cycle. |
| SDATA | Serial data output | Tri-state CMOS output delivering 10-bit result as straight binary, clocked on falling SCLK edges with fixed 3-10-2 bit framing. |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low conversion trigger and output enable; falling edge initiates conversion, rising edge places SDATA in high-impedance state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for automotive applications with guaranteed operation from −40°C to +125°C and robust ESD tolerance (3500 V HBM). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADC101S051IMFX | Same architecture and pinout, but rated for −40°C to +85°C (non-automotive grade); lower cost, no AEC-Q100 validation. | Not suitable for under-hood automotive use; acceptable for commercial/industrial control panels and consumer electronics. | Select ADC101S051IMFX when ambient temperature stays below +85°C and automotive qualification is unnecessary. |
| ADC101S021QIMFX/NOPB | Same package and interface, but optimized for 50–200 ksps range; lower power (1.8 mW at 3.6 V) and reduced SNR (60.5 dB). | Better suited for slower-sampling applications like HVAC monitoring or basic data loggers where throughput <200 ksps suffices. | Choose ADC101S021QIMFX/NOPB when system sampling rate is ≤200 ksps and lowest possible active power is critical. |
Compared with ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB, ADC101S051IMFX trades automotive qualification for cost savings, while ADC101S021QIMFX/NOPB prioritizes ultra-low power at the expense of maximum throughput and dynamic performance-making ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB optimal for AEC-Q100-compliant, medium-speed precision sensing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB?
The ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB is specified for operation from −40°C to +125°C and is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified, making it suitable for under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures. This extended range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operating Ratings sections of the SNAS303I datasheet, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade ADC101S051IMFX variant.
Does ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB require an external voltage reference?
No, ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB uses its VA supply pin as the reference source, eliminating the need for an external reference. Its transfer function is ratiometric: LSB = VA / 1024. This simplifies design and reduces cost, though supply noise directly impacts SNR-hence the datasheet mandates tight bypassing (1 µF + 0.1 µF) near the VA pin.
How many clock cycles are required to read a full conversion result from ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB?
ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB requires exactly 16 SCLK falling edges to output a complete conversion result: three leading zero bits, ten data bits (MSB first), and two trailing zero bits. The SDATA pin enters tri-state after the 16th falling edge or upon CS rising-whichever occurs first-as defined in the timing diagram (Figure 4) and Applications Information section of the datasheet.
Is ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB pin-compatible with other devices in the ADC101S family?
Yes, ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB is fully pin- and function-compatible with all members of the ADC101Sxx family (e.g., ADC101S021, ADC101S101), as confirmed in Table 1 ("Pin Compatible Alternatives") of the SNAS303I datasheet. This allows drop-in replacement across sample-rate variants without PCB changes, provided the selected variant meets the target speed and temperature requirements.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB?
The ADC101S051QIMFX/NOPB supports SCLK frequencies from 25 kHz to 20 MHz, with electrical performance fully specified at 4–10 MHz. While functional beyond 10 MHz, parameters such as DNL, SNR, and tACC are only guaranteed within the 4–10 MHz range per the Electrical Characteristics table-thus 10 MHz is the maximum recommended for ensured specifications.
