Product details
Overview
ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 10-bit, 4-channel successive-approximation ADC with serial SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interface, operating at 50–200 ksps sample rates over a single 2.7V–5.25V supply. It features ±0.13 LSB typical INL/DNL, 61.8 dB SNR, and 0.12 µW shutdown power at 3V - used for multi-sensor data acquisition in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB datasheet, ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB pinout, ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB application, or ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB equivalent, key selection factors include its guaranteed no-missing-codes performance across industrial temperature (−40°C to +85°C), channel-to-channel crosstalk of −87 dB at 5V, and 10-lead VSSOP package compatibility with space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, supporting up to four independent analog inputs (IN1–IN4) multiplexed via a control register loaded on DIN. Conversion timing is fully synchronous to SCLK, requiring 16 clock cycles per frame (3 for track, 13 for hold/convert/readout), with MSB-first straight-binary output on DOUT.
It operates without power-up delay or dummy conversions; the first result after power-on defaults to IN1. Power management is controlled solely by CS: low enables normal operation (1.94 mW at 3V), high forces shutdown (0.12 µW), and the device enters tri-state on DOUT when CS is high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit with guaranteed no missing codes - ensures monotonicity and full code coverage in closed-loop control feedback paths. |
| Sample Rate Range | 50 ksps to 200 ksps - supports flexible timing design without requalification across varying sensor update rates. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.13 LSB typical - enables accurate DC measurement and linearity-critical applications like precision thermocouple or strain gauge digitization. |
| SNR | 61.8 dB typical at 39.9 kHz input - delivers >9.9 ENOB for clean signal capture in noisy industrial environments. |
| Supply Range | +2.7V to +5.25V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers and mixed-voltage system rails. |
| Power (3V) | 1.94 mW typical active, 0.12 µW shutdown - extends battery life in portable data loggers and remote sensors. |
| Crosstalk | −87 dB at 5V - isolates channels during simultaneous multi-signal monitoring (e.g., motor phase currents). |
Pinout & Package
ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB is housed in a 10-lead VSSOP (DGK) package, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm, with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CS | Chip Select | Falling edge initiates conversion frame; high disables output and enters 0.12 µW shutdown mode. |
| 2 VA | Analog Supply | +2.7V to +5.25V reference and power rail; requires local 1 µF + 0.1 µF bypassing within 1 cm. |
| 3 GND | Analog Ground | Common return for analog inputs and VA; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4–7 IN1–IN4 | Analog Inputs | Single-ended, 0V to VA range; internally multiplexed; channel selected via 3-bit ADD[2:0] in DIN control register. |
| 8 DIN | Digital Input | Loads 8-bit control register on rising SCLK edges; bits [5:3] set next-channel address (IN1–IN4). |
| 9 DOUT | Digital Output | MSB-first straight-binary 10-bit result; tri-stated when CS is high; compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE. |
| 10 SCLK | Serial Clock | Drives all timing: 16-cycle frame (3-track + 13-convert/read); 0.8–3.2 MHz range ensures deterministic latency. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed no missing codes | Ensures monotonic transfer function - critical for PID control loops and safety-critical threshold detection. |
| Channel-to-channel offset match | ±0.02 LSB max - enables precise differential measurements (e.g., current shunt vs. reference voltage) without calibration. |
| Full-power bandwidth | 8 MHz at 3V, 11 MHz at 5.25V - supports anti-aliasing filter design for signals up to ~3 MHz without aliasing. |
| Tri-state DOUT with CS control | Eliminates bus contention in multi-device SPI daisy chains or shared data lines without external logic. |
| Industrial temperature range | −40°C to +85°C operation - qualified for deployment in automotive engine compartments and factory-floor PLCs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADC104S051 | Same 10-bit resolution and pinout, but specified for 200–500 ksps range; higher minimum sample rate. | Better suited for higher-throughput applications like motor position sensing where >200 ksps is required. | Select ADC104S051 only if sustained ≥200 ksps operation is mandatory; ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB offers superior low-rate stability down to 50 ksps. |
| ADC124S021 | 12-bit resolution, same 50–200 ksps range and pin-compatible 10-lead VSSOP package. | Provides 2 extra bits for higher dynamic range in vibration analysis or audio pre-amplifier monitoring. | Choose ADC124S021 when ENOB >10 bits is required; ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB delivers lower power (1.94 mW vs. 2.8 mW at 3V) and simpler firmware handling. |
Compared with ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB, ADC104S051 trades low-end sample rate flexibility for higher throughput headroom, while ADC124S021 increases resolution at the cost of power and code depth complexity - making ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-operated 10-bit applications demanding guaranteed linearity and industrial temperature support.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB?
The ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB is fully specified for continuous operation from 50 ksps up to 200 ksps. Its conversion time is fixed at 13 SCLK cycles, and throughput time is 16 SCLK cycles - meaning at 3.2 MHz SCLK, the theoretical maximum approaches 200 ksps. Exceeding this rate is not guaranteed per datasheet specifications, and timing margins degrade beyond 200 ksps.
Does the ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB require an external reference voltage?
No. The ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB uses its VA supply pin as the internal reference - the full-scale range is 0V to VA. This eliminates need for external references but requires clean, well-bypassed VA (1 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors within 1 cm) to maintain 61.8 dB SNR performance. Reference noise directly impacts measurement accuracy.
How is channel selection implemented on the ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB?
Channel selection is controlled via a 3-bit address (ADD2–ADD0) loaded into the ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB's control register on the DIN pin during each 16-cycle frame. Bits are clocked in on the first 8 rising SCLK edges after CS falls. Table 4 in the datasheet maps ADD[2:0] = 000 → IN1 (default), 001 → IN2, 010 → IN3, 011 → IN4.
Is the ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB pin-compatible with the ADC104S021Q variant?
Yes. The ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB and ADC104S021Q share identical pinout, electrical interface, and timing behavior. The Q variant is AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified and manufactured on an automotive-grade process flow, while the CIMM/NOPB is industrial-grade - both use the same 10-lead VSSOP (DGK) package and function identically in non-automotive applications.
What is the purpose of the DONTC bits in the ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB control register?
The DONTC bits (positions 7, 6, and 2–0) in the 8-bit control register have no functional effect - they are "don't care" bits. Only bits 5–3 (ADD2–ADD0) determine input channel selection. Firmware may write any value (0 or 1) to DONTC bits without impacting ADC104S021CIMM/NOPB operation or conversion results.
