Product details
Overview
ADC128S102 from Texas Instruments is a low-power, 8-channel, 12-bit successive-approximation register (SAR) ADC with 500 ksps to 1 MSPS throughput, independent analog (VA) and digital (VD) supplies (2.7 V to 5.25 V), SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, and operation over −40°C to +105°C. It serves as a precision analog front-end digitizer in embedded sensor acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADC128S102 datasheet, ADC128S102 pinout, ADC128S102 application, or ADC128S102 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-bit resolution with ±1.2 LSB max INL at 5 V, 3–5 V dual-supply flexibility, 16-pin TSSOP package, and integrated track-and-hold for multi-channel sampling without external circuitry.
Technical Context
The ADC128S102 implements a charge-redistribution DAC-based SAR architecture with a dedicated 3-cycle track phase followed by a 13-cycle hold-and-convert phase per sample, synchronized to an 8–16 MHz SCLK. Its input multiplexer selects among eight single-ended analog inputs (IN0–IN7), referenced to VA, which also serves as the internal voltage reference.
Digital I/O operates on VD (2.7 V to VA), while analog inputs accept 0 V to VA signals; DOUT output level is VD-referenced, and DIN/CS/SCLK tolerate 0 V to VA logic levels independent of VD. Power-down is achieved by pulling CS high, reducing consumption to 0.06 µW at 3 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit straight binary output; LSB = VA / 4096 defines quantization step size for full-scale range. |
| Sample Rate | 500 ksps to 1 MSPS continuous; determined by SCLK frequency (8–16 MHz) and fixed 16-cycle conversion frame. |
| INL (max) | ±1.2 LSB at VA = VD = 5.0 V; ensures monotonicity and ≤0.03% full-scale linearity error in precision measurement. |
| Power (typ) | 2.3 mW at 3 V / 1 MSPS; enables battery-powered portable instrumentation with minimal thermal load. |
| Supply Range | VA: 2.7 V–5.25 V; VD: 2.7 V–VA; allows flexible rail partitioning-e.g., 3.3 V analog + 1.8 V digital via LDO. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +105°C; qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and medical equipment environments. |
| SPI Compatibility | 4-wire interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT); MSB-first, 16-cycle frame, no dummy cycles required after power-up. |
Pinout & Package
ADC128S102 is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body), optimized for compact PCB layout and thermal performance (θJA = 110°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Active-low chip select input | Initiates conversion sequence on falling edge; high state places device in 0.06 µW shutdown mode. |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | 8–16 MHz master clock controlling both conversion timing and serial data transfer; 40%–60% duty cycle required. |
| DIN | Serial data input | Loads 3-bit channel address (ADD2–ADD0) during first 8 SCLK rising edges of each frame. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | Outputs 12-bit result MSB-first on SCLK falling edges 5–16; high-impedance when CS is high. |
| VA | Analog supply & reference | +2.7 V to +5.25 V analog rail; also sets full-scale input range (0 V to VA) and reference voltage. |
| VD | Digital supply | +2.7 V to VA digital rail; powers logic and defines DOUT high-level (VD − 0.5 V min) and low-level (0.4 V max). |
| AGND / DGND | Analog/digital ground returns | Separate ground pins minimize noise coupling; require star grounding or split-plane design with single-point connection. |
| IN0–IN7 | Analog input channels | Single-ended inputs accepting 0 V to VA; multiplexed internally; 30 pF sampling capacitance requires low-Z drive (<100 Ω). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent VA/VD supplies | Enables mixed-signal system partitioning-e.g., 3.3 V analog sensing with 1.8 V FPGA interface-reducing noise and simplifying power design. |
| Integrated track-and-hold | Eliminates need for external THA; 3-cycle acquisition time ensures accurate sampling of dynamic signals up to 11 MHz full-power bandwidth. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | 0.06 µW (3 V) / 0.25 µW (5 V) quiescent consumption enables energy harvesting or ultra-long-life battery operation. |
| Industrial temperature range | −40°C to +105°C operation verified across electrical specs; supports deployment in engine control units, motor drives, and field instruments. |
| Straight-binary SPI output | Native 12-bit format with no offset or twos-complement conversion needed; simplifies firmware parsing and reduces CPU overhead. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-channel, 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7953IRHBT | 12-bit, 16-channel, 1 MSPS, but requires external reference and has higher 11.5 mW power at 3 V. | Supports more inputs but lacks integrated VA-referenced operation; better for systems needing flexible reference sourcing. | Select ADS7953IRHBT when expanding beyond 8 channels or requiring external reference control; ADC128S102 is preferred for simpler, lower-power, reference-integrated designs. |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 12-bit, 8-channel, 1 MSPS, but only −40°C to +85°C temp range and no independent VD supply (VD = VA). | Suitable for commercial-grade portable devices; not rated for extended industrial or automotive ambient conditions. | Choose MAX11100ETE+ for cost-sensitive consumer applications within 85°C limit; ADC128S102 remains optimal for −40°C to +105°C reliability-critical use. |
Compared with ADS7953IRHBT and MAX11100ETE+, the ADC128S102 uniquely combines extended temperature rating, true dual-supply independence, and integrated reference-all in a 16-pin TSSOP-making it the most balanced choice for ruggedized, low-power, 8-channel industrial and automotive data acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by ADC128S102?
The ADC128S102 supports a maximum SCLK frequency of 16 MHz, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings and timing characteristics. Operating above this frequency risks violating setup/hold times and may cause incorrect conversion results or communication failure. The minimum clock frequency is 8 MHz; using lower frequencies invalidates guaranteed AC performance specs like SINAD and ENOB.
Does ADC128S102 require an external reference voltage?
No, the ADC128S102 does not require an external reference. Its VA supply pin serves as both the analog power rail and the internal reference voltage, establishing a full-scale input range of 0 V to VA. This eliminates the need for external reference components, simplifying BOM and layout-especially beneficial in space-constrained portable systems.
How many analog input channels does ADC128S102 support, and how are they selected?
The ADC128S102 supports eight single-ended analog input channels (IN0 through IN7). Channel selection is controlled via a 3-bit address (ADD2–ADD0) loaded into the internal control register through the DIN pin during the first 8 SCLK rising edges after CS falls. The mapping is defined in the datasheet: e.g., '000' selects IN0, '111' selects IN7.
What is the power consumption of ADC128S102 in shutdown mode?
In shutdown mode (CS = high), the ADC128S102 consumes only 0.06 µW typical at 3 V and 0.25 µW typical at 5 V. This ultra-low quiescent power enables energy-efficient wake-on-event architectures in battery-powered applications such as wearable health monitors or remote sensor nodes.
Is ADC128S102 compatible with standard SPI interfaces?
Yes, the ADC128S102 is fully compatible with standard 4-wire SPI protocols-including QSPI, MICROWIRE, and common DSP serial interfaces. It uses CS as frame sync, SCLK for timing, DIN for address loading, and DOUT for 12-bit MSB-first data output in a deterministic 16-cycle frame, requiring no special initialization or dummy cycles.
