Product details
Overview
ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, dual-channel successive-approximation ADC with serial SPI-compatible interface, operating at 50–200 ksps sample rates, 72 dB typical SNR, and 2.2 mW power consumption at 3V - used for precision analog signal digitization in portable instrumentation and remote data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB datasheet, ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB pinout, ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB application, or ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB equivalent, key selection factors include its guaranteed no-missing-codes performance, channel-to-channel crosstalk of −86 dB, track-and-hold acquisition time of 3 SCLK cycles, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) in an 8-pin VSSSOP package.
Technical Context
The ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB implements a charge-redistribution DAC architecture with internal track-and-hold, supporting single-ended analog inputs IN1 and IN2 referenced to VA. It uses a 16-cycle serial frame (3 cycles track + 13 cycles convert/readout) synchronized to CS falling edge and SCLK.
Its control register (loaded via DIN on first 8 rising SCLK edges after CS fall) selects input channel (IN1 or IN2) using ADD0–ADD2 bits; ADD1 = 1 is invalid. Output coding is straight binary, MSB-first, compatible with SPI, QSPI, and MICROWIRE protocols.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with guaranteed no missing codes - ensures monotonicity and full code coverage across full input range. |
| Sample Rate Range | 50 ksps to 200 ksps - fully specified over entire range, enabling flexible timing design without derating. |
| SNR | 72.0 dB (typ) at fIN = 39.9 kHz - supports >11.7 ENOB for high-fidelity signal capture in sensor interfaces. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.35 LSB (typ) / +0.4/−0.2 LSB (typ) - enables accurate multi-channel measurement with <0.1 LSB channel matching. |
| Power Consumption | 2.2 mW at 3V (typ), 0.14 µW shutdown - suitable for battery-powered systems requiring low quiescent current. |
| Analog Supply Range | +2.7 V to +5.25 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V logic and mixed-voltage systems. |
| Crosstalk | −86 dB - prevents signal coupling between IN1 and IN2 during simultaneous or interleaved sampling. |
Pinout & Package
ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB is housed in an 8-lead VSSSOP (Very Small Outline Package) with exposed thermal pad, package code DGK, θJA = 250°C/W, and lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select Input | Falling edge initiates conversion frame; high state enables power-down mode (0.14 µW at 3V). |
| VA | Analog Power Supply | +2.7 V to +5.25 V supply; also serves as reference - requires local 1 µF + 0.1 µF bypassing. |
| GND | Analog Ground | Common return for analog circuitry; must be separated from digital ground for optimal noise performance. |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Controls conversion timing and serial data transfer; supports 0.8–3.2 MHz clock frequency. |
| DOUT | Digital Output | MSB-first serial output of 12-bit result; tri-state when CS is high. |
| DIN | Digital Input | Loads 8-bit control register (ADD0–ADD2) on rising SCLK edges to select next input channel. |
| IN1 / IN2 | Analog Inputs | Single-ended inputs ranging 0 V to VA; multiplexed internally; input capacitance 33 pF (track) / 3 pF (hold). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Variable Power Management | Dynamic power scaling across 50–200 ksps range plus hardware shutdown (CS high) reduces idle power to sub-µW level. |
| Single-Supply Operation | Eliminates need for dual rails or external reference - VA serves as both supply and full-scale reference (1 LSB = VA/4096). |
| Pin-Compatible Family | Shares 8-pin VSSSOP footprint and register map with ADC102S021 (10-bit) and ADC082S021 (8-bit) for scalable design reuse. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Specified from −40°C to +85°C - validated for deployment in harsh environments without derating. |
| SPI-Compatible Serial Interface | Direct connection to microcontrollers/DSPs without level-shifting or protocol translation; supports daisy-chaining via shared SCLK/CS. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADC122S051 | Same 12-bit resolution but rated for 200–500 ksps range; higher max clock (6.4 MHz); identical pinout and control register. | Better suited for higher-throughput systems requiring >200 ksps sustained sampling without sacrificing resolution. | Select ADC122S051 when system demands faster sampling while retaining same PCB layout and firmware interface. |
| ADC102S021 | 10-bit resolution, same 50–200 ksps range, identical VSSSOP-8 package and pin mapping; lower power (1.3 mW at 3V). | Appropriate where 10-bit precision suffices and power budget is tighter, e.g., cost-sensitive consumer sensors. | Choose ADC102S021 for reduced BOM cost and lower dynamic power when 12-bit ENOB is not required. |
Compared with ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB, ADC122S051 offers higher speed headroom within identical footprint, while ADC102S021 trades 2 bits of resolution for lower power and cost - both retain full software and layout compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB?
The ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB is fully specified for operation from 50 ksps to 200 ksps. Its maximum guaranteed sample rate is 200 ksps, with corresponding timing parameters (e.g., tCONV = 13 SCLK cycles, throughput = 16 SCLK cycles) validated across the full industrial temperature range and supply voltage (2.7 V to 5.25 V). Exceeding 200 ksps may degrade INL, SNR, or crosstalk performance.
Does the ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB require an external reference voltage?
No, the ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB does not require an external reference. It uses its analog supply voltage (VA) as the reference - full-scale range is 0 V to VA, and 1 LSB = VA/4096. This eliminates external reference components but requires clean, well-bypassed VA (1 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors within 1 cm) to maintain 72 dB SNR and low THD.
How is channel selection implemented on the ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB?
Channel selection is controlled via the 3-bit ADD0–ADD2 field in the 8-bit control register loaded on DIN during each conversion frame. ADD0 = 0 and ADD1 = 0 selects IN1 (default); ADD0 = 1 and ADD1 = 0 selects IN2. Setting ADD1 = 1 results in indeterminate DOUT behavior and is prohibited per datasheet Table 4.
What is the power-down current of the ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB?
The ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB draws 38 nA typical supply current in shutdown mode at +3.6 V (0.14 µW power consumption), and 60 nA at +5.25 V (0.32 µW). Shutdown is activated automatically when CS is held high, and the device resumes conversion on the next CS falling edge with no wake-up delay or dummy cycles required.
Is the ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB pin-compatible with other devices in its family?
Yes, the ADC122S021CIMMX/NOPB is fully pin- and function-compatible with ADC102S021 (10-bit) and ADC082S021 (8-bit), as confirmed in Table 1 of the SNAS280D datasheet. All share identical 8-pin VSSSOP package (DGK), pin assignments, control register structure, and serial timing - enabling resolution-scaling without PCB redesign.
