Product details
Overview
ADS1013IDGST from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated voltage reference and oscillator, supporting single-ended or differential input configurations. It operates from 2.0V to 5.5V, consumes only 150μA in continuous-conversion mode, delivers up to 3.3kSPS, and features noise-free 12-bit resolution - ideal for battery-powered sensor monitoring in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1013IDGST datasheet, ADS1013IDGST pinout, ADS1013IDGST application, or ADS1013IDGST equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, I²C timing compliance, full-scale range constraints, and validated alternative options for low-power, space-constrained ADC selection.
Technical Context
The ADS1013IDGST implements a delta-sigma (ΔΣ) ADC core with internal 1MHz oscillator (divided to 250kHz modulator frequency), fixed ±2.048V full-scale range, and no programmable gain amplifier (PGA) or digital comparator - distinguishing it from ADS1014/ADS1015 variants. Its switched-capacitor input stage yields differential input impedance of 4.9MΩ and common-mode impedance of 6MΩ at ±2.048V FSR.
It supports two conversion modes: single-shot (auto-enters power-down post-conversion) and continuous-conversion (data rate programmable from 128SPS to 3.3kSPS). Conversion settles in one cycle - e.g., 303μs at 3.3kSPS - with offset error bounded to ±0.5LSB and INL to 0.5LSB over –40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit noise-free; guarantees monotonic output with no missing codes across full temperature range. |
| Max Sample Rate | 3.3kSPS; enables real-time monitoring of fast-changing signals like motor current transients. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.0V to 5.5V; supports direct interfacing with Li-ion batteries (3.0–4.2V) and 3.3V/5V logic domains. |
| Quiescent Current | 150μA (continuous mode); draws <2μA in power-down state - critical for multi-year battery life in IoT nodes. |
| Input Configuration | 1 differential (AIN0–AIN1) or 1 single-ended (AIN0–GND); requires external GND tie for AIN1 in SE mode. |
| Reference & Clock | Internal low-drift voltage reference and fixed 1MHz oscillator; eliminates need for external components or clock routing. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive sensing and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
X2QFN-10 (RUG) package: 1.5mm × 2mm × 0.4mm ultra-small footprint with wettable flanks, optimized for automated optical inspection and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ADDR | I²C address select | Digital input; sets one of four I²C slave addresses (0x48–0x4B) - enables multiple ADS1013IDGST on same bus without address conflict. |
| GND | Analog ground | Primary return path for analog inputs and reference; must be connected to clean system AGND plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| VDD | Power supply | 2.0–5.5V analog/digital supply; requires 0.1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed ≤2mm from pin. |
| AIN0 | Analog input (+) | Positive input for differential (vs AIN1) or single-ended (vs GND) measurements; max voltage = VDD + 0.3V. |
| AIN1 | Analog input (–) | Negative input for differential mode; must be tied to GND externally for single-ended operation per datasheet guidance. |
| SCL | I²C clock | Open-drain input; requires external pull-up to VDD (typically 4.7kΩ); supports Fast Mode (400kHz) and High-Speed Mode (3.4MHz). |
| SDA | I²C data | Open-drain bidirectional line; shares same pull-up as SCL; handles ACK/NACK and register read/write sequences. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small X2QFN-10 package | 1.5mm × 2mm footprint saves >60% board area vs VSSOP-10; enables wearables and compact sensor nodes. |
| Single-cycle settling | Conversion time = 1/data rate (e.g., 303μs @ 3.3kSPS); eliminates software wait states and simplifies timing-critical firmware. |
| Integrated oscillator & reference | Removes external crystal and reference IC - reduces BOM count, layout complexity, and startup calibration overhead. |
| No PGA or comparator | Fixed ±2.048V FSR and absence of comparator logic reduce power, die size, and cost - optimal for basic voltage/current sensing. |
| I²C interface with 4 addresses | Enables daisy-chaining up to four ADS1013IDGST on one bus without address jumpers or configuration EEPROM. |
Applications
| Battery Voltage Monitoring | Temperature Measurement Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, I²C ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1014IDGST | Includes PGA (±0.256V to ±6.144V FSR) and digital comparator; identical pinout and package. | Supports small-signal thermocouple or bridge sensor amplification; enables over/under-voltage alerting without host polling. | Select when variable gain or autonomous threshold detection is required - adds ~0.15mm height but no PCB redesign needed. |
| MCP3221A0T-E/OT | 12-bit SAR ADC; 188kSPS max; no internal reference or oscillator; requires external clock and reference. | Lacks integrated timing/reference - increases BOM and layout effort; better suited for high-speed, low-latency sampling. | Choose for applications needing faster conversion (e.g., audio pre-processing) where external component count is acceptable. |
Compared with ADS1014IDGST, ADS1013IDGST trades PGA flexibility and comparator functionality for lower power and simpler signal chain design; versus MCP3221A0T-E/OT, it offers plug-and-play integration at the cost of peak sample rate - making ADS1013IDGST optimal for ultra-low-power, space-constrained sensing where ease of use outweighs speed.

FAQ
What is the full-scale input range of the ADS1013IDGST?
The ADS1013IDGST has a fixed full-scale range of ±2.048V - unlike ADS1014/ADS1015, it lacks a programmable gain amplifier. This FSR yields a 1mV LSB size, enabling precise measurement of signals such as battery voltages or conditioned thermistor outputs without external scaling circuitry. The device does not support alternate FSR settings.
Does the ADS1013IDGST include a programmable gain amplifier (PGA)?
No, the ADS1013IDGST does not include a PGA. Per the device comparison table and functional block diagram, only ADS1014IDGST and ADS1015IDGST integrate a PGA. The ADS1013IDGST is optimized for simplicity and lowest power consumption, offering fixed ±2.048V input range and no gain adjustment - confirmed in Section 4 and Figure 7-3 of the SBAS473F datasheet.
Can the ADS1013IDGST operate from a 2.0V supply?
Yes, the ADS1013IDGST is fully specified to operate from 2.0V to 5.5V. At 2.0V supply, typical operating current drops to 150μA (same as nominal), and absolute maximum analog input voltage remains GND to VDD + 0.3V - i.e., up to 2.3V. This makes ADS1013IDGST suitable for coin-cell or energy-harvesting systems where supply headroom is minimal.
What package type is used by the ADS1013IDGST?
The ADS1013IDGST uses the RUG package: a 10-pin X2QFN (extremely thin quad flat no-lead) measuring 1.5mm × 2mm × 0.4mm. This package is distinct from the DYN (SOT-10) and DGS (VSSOP-10) variants - confirmed in Package Information tables and Mechanical Drawing SLAS812. It features wettable flanks for reliable solder joint inspection.
Is the ALERT/RDY pin functional on the ADS1013IDGST?
No, the ALERT/RDY pin is not functional on the ADS1013IDGST. As stated in Table 5-1 and Section 7.3.7, this pin is reserved (NC) for ADS1013 - only ADS1014 and ADS1015 implement the comparator and conversion-ready functions. On ADS1013IDGST, pin 2 is a no-connect; it must be left floating or tied to GND per unused pin guidelines.
