Product details
Overview
ADS1014IRUGR from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with integrated PGA, digital comparator, internal reference, and oscillator - configured for single-ended or differential input measurement at up to 3.3kSPS. It operates from 2.0V to 5.5V, consumes only 150μA in continuous mode, and delivers noise-free 12-bit resolution in an ultra-small 1.5mm × 2mm X2QFN-10 package for space-constrained sensor monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1014IRUGR datasheet, ADS1014IRUGR pinout, ADS1014IRUGR application, or ADS1014IRUGR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, I²C timing compliance, PGA gain range mapping (±0.256V to ±6.144V), comparator latching behavior, and real-world use cases in battery monitoring and industrial temperature sensing - all grounded in TI's SBAS473F production data sheet.
Technical Context
The ADS1014IRUGR implements a delta-sigma ADC core with internal 1MHz oscillator (divided to 250kHz modulator clock), low-drift voltage reference, and programmable gain amplifier. Its single-cycle settling time ensures conversion latency equals 1/programmed data rate - e.g., 303ns at 3.3kSPS.
It supports two functional modes: single-shot (for power-sensitive periodic sampling) and continuous-conversion (with programmable rates from 128SPS to 3.3kSPS). The ALERT/RDY pin serves dual roles - as a configurable digital comparator output (latching or window mode) or as a conversion-ready pulse generator - both requiring external pull-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit noise-free; guarantees no missing codes across full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). |
| Max Sample Rate | 3.3kSPS; enables real-time monitoring of fast-changing sensor signals without external oversampling. |
| PGA Input Range | ±0.256V to ±6.144V; allows precise measurement of both millivolt-level thermocouple outputs and volt-level battery rails using same device. |
| Supply Current | 150μA (typical, continuous mode); reduces system power budget in always-on battery-powered instrumentation. |
| I²C Address Options | Four pin-selectable addresses via ADDR pin; permits up to four ADS1014IRUGR devices on same bus without address conflict. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and factory automation environments. |
| Input Impedance | 6MΩ common-mode (±2.048V FSR); dictates need for source impedance ≤10kΩ or external buffering for <0.1% gain error. |
Pinout & Package
RUG package is a 10-pin, 1.5mm × 2mm × 0.4mm X2QFN with wettable flanks; thermal resistance RθJA = 245.2°C/W; requires solder paste stencil design per TI SLUA759.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ADDR | Digital input | Selects one of four I²C slave addresses (0x48–0x4B); pulled high/low or left floating to set address. |
| ALERT/RDY | Open-drain digital output | Configurable as comparator alert (latched/window) or conversion-ready pulse; requires external pull-up to VDD. |
| GND | Analog ground | Reference node for analog inputs and internal reference; must be connected directly to PCB ground plane. |
| AIN0 | Analog input (positive) | Primary input for single-ended (vs GND) or differential (vs AIN1) measurements; ESD-protected to ±2kV HBM. |
| AIN1 | Analog input (negative) | Used as negative input in differential mode; externally tied to GND for single-ended AIN0 measurement. |
| VDD | Analog power supply | 2.0V–5.5V input; requires 0.1μF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 2mm of pin. |
| SDA | I²C bidirectional data | Open-drain interface; shares bus with other I²C devices; requires pull-up resistor (typically 4.7kΩ). |
| SCL | I²C clock input | Drives clock for all transactions; supports Fast Mode (400kHz) and High-Speed Mode (3.4MHz) per spec. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PGA | 6 selectable gains (1–16×) enabling ±0.256V to ±6.144V FSR - eliminates external op-amp stages for multi-range sensor interfacing. |
| Digital comparator | Programmable high/low thresholds with latching, window, and filtering (1/2/4-sample debounce) - replaces discrete comparator + microcontroller polling. |
| Single-cycle settling | Conversion completes in exactly 1/data-rate period (e.g., 303ns at 3.3kSPS), enabling deterministic timing in closed-loop systems. |
| Internal oscillator & reference | No external crystal or reference required; simplifies BOM and layout while maintaining ±0.25% gain error over temperature. |
| Ultra-small X2QFN | 1.5mm × 2mm footprint saves >60% board area vs SOIC-8; compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) due to wettable flanks. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1015IRUGR | 4-channel input MUX (2 differential or 4 single-ended); identical PGA, comparator, and timing specs. | Supports multiplexed multi-sensor acquisition (e.g., temp + pressure + humidity) without external mux IC. | Select when expanding channel count is needed; same footprint and software register map enable drop-in upgrade path. |
| ADS1114IRUGR | 16-bit resolution, 860SPS max, same PGA/comparator features; higher noise floor at low data rates. | Preferred for high-precision applications like strain gauge readout where 16-bit ENOB justifies lower speed. | Choose only if ≥16-bit effective resolution is mandatory; requires firmware update for register compatibility and slower data throughput. |
Compared with ADS1014IRUGR, ADS1015IRUGR adds channel flexibility without sacrificing size or power, while ADS1114IRUGR trades speed for resolution - making ADS1014IRUGR optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 12-bit sensor nodes requiring 3.3kSPS throughput.

FAQ
What is the maximum full-scale input voltage range supported by ADS1014IRUGR?
The ADS1014IRUGR supports six programmable full-scale ranges via its integrated PGA: ±0.256V, ±0.512V, ±1.024V, ±2.048V, ±4.096V, and ±6.144V. These ranges are selected using the PGA[2:0] bits in the Config register. The ±6.144V range allows direct measurement of standard 5V rails or automotive battery voltages up to ~12.3V (with appropriate external scaling), while the ±0.256V range resolves microvolt-level signals from thermocouples or bridge sensors - all without external amplification hardware.
Does ADS1014IRUGR require an external clock or reference voltage?
No, ADS1014IRUGR does not require an external clock or reference voltage. It integrates a 1MHz internal oscillator (divided to 250kHz modulator clock) and a low-drift internal voltage reference. These components are factory-trimmed and fully characterized across temperature - eliminating the need for external crystals, oscillators, or precision reference ICs. This integration reduces BOM count, PCB area, and design validation effort while ensuring guaranteed performance per TI's SBAS473F datasheet specifications.
How is the ALERT/RDY pin used in ADS1014IRUGR?
The ALERT/RDY pin on ADS1014IRUGR serves two mutually exclusive functions: digital comparator output or conversion-ready indicator. In comparator mode, it asserts (open-drain, active-low by default) when conversion results exceed user-defined high/low thresholds - configurable as latching or window mode with 1/2/4-sample filtering. In conversion-ready mode, it pulses low for ~8µs at the end of each conversion in continuous mode. Both modes require an external pull-up resistor to VDD and are controlled entirely via I²C register writes - no external logic needed.
What are the absolute maximum ratings for analog input voltage on ADS1014IRUGR?
The absolute maximum analog input voltage on ADS1014IRUGR is GND – 0.3V to VDD + 0.3V per pin (AIN0 or AIN1), as specified in Section 6.1 of the SBAS473F datasheet. Exceeding this range risks forward-biasing internal ESD diodes, causing excessive current flow and potential damage. For example, with VDD = 3.3V, inputs must stay within 0V to 3.6V. Even when using the ±6.144V FSR setting, the physical input voltage must still obey this limit - meaning external attenuation or clamping is required for signals beyond VDD + 0.3V.
Can ADS1014IRUGR operate from a 2.0V supply?
Yes, ADS1014IRUGR is fully specified to operate from 2.0V to 5.5V supply voltage. At 2.0V, it maintains 12-bit noise-free resolution, 150μA typical supply current in continuous mode, and full functionality of PGA, comparator, and I²C interface. The internal reference and oscillator remain stable across this range, and I²C timing parameters (e.g., tLOW, tHIGH) meet Fast Mode requirements down to 2.0V. This makes ADS1014IRUGR suitable for single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V) or coin-cell (2.0–3.0V) powered applications without voltage regulation.
