Product details
Overview
ADC104S021CIMMX/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 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, targeting portable data acquisition and automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB datasheet, ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB pinout, ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB application, or ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria 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 full-power bandwidth of 8–11 MHz depending on supply voltage.
Technical Context
The ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB implements a charge-redistribution DAC architecture with internal track-and-hold, enabling precise sampling across four analog inputs (IN1–IN4) without external hold capacitors. Its control logic synchronizes conversion timing to SCLK edges, requiring exactly 16 SCLK cycles per frame for acquisition (3 cycles), conversion (13 cycles), and MSB-first serial output.
It uses straight binary coding and supports dynamic input channel selection via an 8-bit control register loaded on DIN during each frame. Power management is controlled solely by CS: low enables normal operation (1.94 mW at 3V); high forces shutdown (0.12 µW), with no dummy conversions or power-up delay required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit with guaranteed no missing codes - ensures monotonicity and deterministic code mapping for closed-loop control. |
| Sample Rate Range | 50 ksps to 200 ksps - fully specified across entire range, eliminating derating assumptions at intermediate speeds. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.13 LSB typical - enables <1 LSB error in precision sensor digitization without calibration. |
| SNR | 61.8 dB typical at 39.9 kHz input - supports >9.8 ENOB for high-fidelity signal capture in instrumentation. |
| Supply Voltage | +2.7V to +5.25V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Power (3V) | 1.94 mW active / 0.12 µW shutdown - enables battery-powered operation with rapid wake/sleep transitions. |
| Channel Crosstalk | −87 dB at 5V - prevents interference between simultaneous multi-sensor measurements. |
Pinout & Package
ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB is housed in a 10-lead VSSOP package (DGK), measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm, with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in compact layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Falling edge initiates conversion frame; high state enables 0.12 µW shutdown mode and tri-states DOUT. |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Directly controls all timing: 16-cycle frame alignment, 3-cycle track, 13-cycle convert/readout. |
| DOUT | Digital Output | MSB-first serial data stream; active only when CS is low; tri-stated otherwise. |
| DIN | Digital Input | Loads 8-bit control register on first 8 rising SCLK edges after CS fall to select next input channel (IN1–IN4). |
| IN1–IN4 | Analog Inputs | Four single-ended inputs referenced to VA; each accepts 0V to VA range with ≤33 pF input capacitance in track mode. |
| VA | Analog Supply | Single supply powering analog core and reference; requires local 1 µF + 0.1 µF bypassing within 1 cm. |
| GND | Ground Return | Common return for analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full-range sample rate specification | Performance validated from 50 ksps to 200 ksps - eliminates need for speed-specific qualification testing. |
| Variable power management | Hardware-controlled shutdown via CS pin - achieves 16,000× power reduction without software overhead. |
| Single-supply operation | 2.7V–5.25V analog supply - simplifies power architecture by eliminating separate reference or digital rails. |
| Channel-to-channel matching | OEM ±0.02 LSB and FSEM ±0.02 LSB - enables ratiometric multi-sensor systems without per-channel gain/offset correction. |
| Industrial temperature range | −40°C to +85°C operation - qualified for embedded control in harsh environments without derating. |

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 pinout and interface; higher max sample rate (500 ksps) and slightly higher power (2.3 mW at 3V). | Required for applications needing >200 ksps throughput, e.g., motor phase current sampling. | Select ADC104S051 only if sustained >200 ksps sampling is mandatory; otherwise ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB offers lower power and cost. |
| ADC124S021 | Pin-compatible 12-bit variant; same 50–200 ksps range but higher resolution (12-bit) and increased power (2.8 mW at 3V). | Suitable where system-level accuracy demands >10-bit ENOB, such as precision thermocouple measurement. | Choose ADC124S021 when resolution is prioritized over power; ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB remains optimal for 10-bit cost/power balance. |
Compared with ADC104S051 and ADC124S021, ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB delivers the lowest active and shutdown power in the family while maintaining full 10-bit linearity and industrial temperature compliance-making it the preferred choice for energy-constrained, multi-channel sensing where 200 ksps is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB?
The ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB is fully specified for continuous operation from 50 ksps up to 200 ksps. Its timing architecture requires exactly 16 SCLK cycles per conversion frame, and the device remains functional beyond 200 ksps-but guaranteed AC performance (e.g., SNR, THD) applies only within the 50–200 ksps range per the datasheet. At 200 ksps, the minimum SCLK frequency is 3.2 MHz.
Does the ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB require an external reference voltage?
No, the ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB uses its VA supply pin as the reference voltage source, producing a full-scale range of 0V to VA. This eliminates the need for an external reference but requires clean, well-bypassed VA (1 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors within 1 cm) to maintain 61.8 dB SNR performance. Any noise on VA directly modulates the LSB size (VA/1024).
How is channel selection implemented on the ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB?
Channel selection is controlled via a 3-bit address (ADD2–ADD0) loaded into the ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB's internal control register through the DIN pin during each 16-cycle SCLK frame. The mapping is fixed: 000 = IN1 (default on power-up), 001 = IN2, 010 = IN3, 011 = IN4. Bits 7–6 and 2–0 are don't-care and have no effect on operation.
What is the power consumption of the ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB at 3.3V supply?
At VA = 3.3V and 200 ksps sample rate, the ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB draws 0.55–0.7 mA typical supply current in normal operation, equating to approximately 1.8–2.3 mW. In shutdown mode (CS high), it consumes just 32 nA, or ~0.11 µW. These values are confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Supply Current, Normal Mode" and "Supply Current, Shutdown".
Is the ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB qualified for automotive applications?
The ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB itself is not automotive-qualified; however, its automotive-grade variant ADC104S021Q is AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified and manufactured on an automotive flow. Both share identical pinout, functionality, and AC/DC specs-but only ADC104S021Q meets automotive stress test requirements (e.g., temperature cycling, HTOL). For non-automotive industrial use, ADC104S021CIMMX/NOPB is fully rated from −40°C to +85°C.
