Product details
Overview
ADC10321CIVT/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit, 20 MSPS analog-to-digital converter with internal sample-and-hold, single +5V operation, 98 mW typical power consumption, and TTL/CMOS or 3V logic I/O compatibility - used in high-speed CCD imaging and digital video acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB datasheet, ADC10321CIVT/NOPB pinout, ADC10321CIVT/NOPB application, or ADC10321CIVT/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include ENOB@10MHz (9.2 bits), conversion latency (2 clock cycles), PSRR (56 dB), and 32-pin TQFP package with force/sense reference architecture for precision biasing.
Technical Context
The ADC10321CIVT/NOPB employs a two-stage pipeline architecture achieving 9.2 effective bits at 10 MHz input with 20 MHz clock, and digitizes analog inputs on the falling edge of CLK with 2-cycle pipeline latency plus tOD (25 ns max) output delay.
Its reference system uses separate force (VREF+F/VREF−F) and sense (VREF+S/VREF−S) pins to compensate for IR drops across PCB traces, enabling precise ladder voltage control via external op-amps while maintaining 1.0 V minimum differential between VREF+S (2.3–4.0 V) and VREF−S (1.3–3.0 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10 bits - guarantees no missing codes over full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) |
| Conversion Rate | 20 MSPS - supports real-time digitization of video bandwidth signals up to 150 MHz full-power bandwidth |
| ENOB @ 10 MHz | 9.2 bits (typ) - defines usable dynamic resolution for baseband video and communications signals |
| DNL | ±0.35 LSB (typ) - ensures monotonic transfer function critical for imaging linearity |
| Conversion Latency | 2 clock cycles - enables deterministic timing alignment in synchronous sampling systems |
| PSRR | 56 dB - limits full-scale error drift under ±10% supply variation, reducing need for ultra-low-noise LDOs |
| Power Consumption | 98 mW (typ) - enables thermal management in dense PCB layouts without forced air cooling |
Pinout & Package
The ADC10321CIVT/NOPB is housed in a 32-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP) with exposed thermal pad, designed for industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C) and requiring separate analog/digital ground planes tied near the package.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 30) | Analog Input | Accepts signal within VREF−S to VREF+S range; input capacitance varies 3–5 pF with clock phase |
| VREF+F (Pin 31) | Reference Force | Drives top of internal resistor ladder; requires external buffer to set VREF+S precisely |
| VREF+S (Pin 32) | Reference Sense | Monitors actual voltage at ladder top; zero-current node for high-accuracy feedback |
| VREF−F (Pin 2) | Reference Force | Drives bottom of internal resistor ladder; sinks current to establish VREF−S |
| VREF−S (Pin 1) | Reference Sense | Monitors actual voltage at ladder bottom; enables IR-drop compensation in long trace layouts |
| CLK (Pin 9) | Sampling Clock | Falling-edge triggered; 20 MHz nominal, 25 MHz max; 45–55% duty cycle required |
| PD (Pin 8) | Power Down Control | High = standby mode (<4 mW); outputs enter high-Z state, preserving system bus integrity |
| OE (Pin 26) | Output Enable | Low = data valid on D0–D9; high = tri-state; independent of PD for flexible bus arbitration |
| D0–D9 (Pins 14–19, 22–25) | Digital Outputs | 10-bit straight binary; MSB = D9, LSB = D0; VD I/O pins support 3V or 5V logic levels |
| VA (Pins 3,7,28) | Analog Supply | +4.5V to +5.5V; requires local 10 µF + 0.1 µF bypassing per pin for noise immunity |
| VD (Pins 5,10) | Digital Core Supply | +4.5V to +5.5V; separate bypassing from VA to isolate digital switching noise |
| VD I/O (Pins 12,21) | I/O Driver Supply | +2.7V to +5.5V - allows direct interfacing to 3V FPGA or ASIC without level shifters |
| AGND (Pins 4,27,29) | Analog Ground | Return path for analog circuitry; must be connected to DGND near package per layout guidelines |
| DGND (Pins 6,11) | Digital Ground | Return path for core digital logic; star-ground tie point minimizes ground bounce |
| DGND I/O (Pins 13,20) | I/O Ground | Return for digital output drivers; separates I/O return current from core digital switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Sample-and-Hold | Enables sustained AC performance beyond Nyquist limit; eliminates need for external SHA in video/CCD front-ends |
| Reference Force/Sense Architecture | Compensates for PCB trace resistance errors, enabling <±0.5% reference accuracy without trimming |
| 3V/5V I/O Compatible Outputs | Allows direct connection to 3V FPGAs or microcontrollers without level-shifting components or additional power rails |
| Low Power Standby Mode | Reduces system idle power by >95% (98 mW → <4 mW), critical for portable or battery-backed imaging modules |
| Ensured No Missing Codes | Guarantees monotonicity across full temperature range - essential for medical imaging and document scanner linearity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit, 20+ MSPS analog-to-digital converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1000IRUGR | 12-bit, 1 MSPS, I²C interface, no internal reference - lower speed, higher resolution, serial output | Targeted at low-speed sensor monitoring, not real-time video or imaging | Select only when resolution > speed and serial interface are prioritized over parallel throughput |
| MAX1186ETL+ | 10-bit, 40 MSPS, 3.3V-only supply, no reference force/sense - higher speed but less flexible biasing | Suitable for high-speed portable instruments where 3.3V rail simplifies power design | Choose when clock rate >25 MSPS is mandatory and external reference buffering is acceptable |
Compared with ADS1000IRUGR and MAX1186ETL+, the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB uniquely balances 20 MSPS throughput, 10-bit no-missing-codes assurance, and dual-voltage I/O with precision reference force/sense - making it optimal for industrial imaging systems requiring deterministic timing, thermal stability, and mixed-voltage interfacing.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB?
The ADC10321CIVT/NOPB supports a maximum clock frequency of 25 MSPS, though its guaranteed performance specifications (including ENOB and SNR) are validated at 20 MSPS. Operation above 20 MSPS may reduce dynamic performance, particularly at higher input frequencies, and requires careful attention to clock jitter and layout parasitics to maintain aperture accuracy.
Does the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB require an external reference voltage source?
Yes - the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB does not include an internal reference. It relies on external force/sense architecture: VREF+F and VREF−F accept buffered reference voltages, while VREF+S and VREF−S provide feedback nodes for precision regulation. This design enables high-accuracy biasing using op-amps like the LMC6082, as documented in TI's SNAS028F datasheet.
Can the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB operate with a 3.3V digital I/O supply while using a 5V analog supply?
Yes - the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB explicitly supports split-supply operation: VA and VD can be +5V for analog/digital core functions, while VD I/O pins (Pins 12, 21) accept +2.7V to +5.5V, enabling direct 3.3V logic interfacing without level shifters. This is confirmed in the Operating Ratings table and DC Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet.
What is the meaning of "no missing codes" for the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB?
"No missing codes" means the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB guarantees monotonicity across its entire 10-bit transfer function - every integer value from 0 to 1023 appears at least once over the full input range and operating temperature (−40°C to +85°C). This is verified by DNL ≤ ±0.85 LSB (max) and is critical for applications like medical imaging and document scanning where code gaps cause visible artifacts.
How does the power-down mode affect output behavior in the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB?
When the PD pin is driven high, the ADC10321CIVT/NOPB enters low-power standby mode (<4 mW typical), halting conversion and placing all digital output pins (D0–D9) into high-impedance state - regardless of OE pin status. This preserves bus integrity in multi-device systems and eliminates contention during idle periods, as specified in the Pin Descriptions and DC Electrical Characteristics sections.
