Product details
Overview
ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a self-calibrating, 16-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with differential inputs, I²C interface, programmable gain amplifier (PGA = 1/2/4/8), and 8–128 SPS data rate in SOT23-6 package. It operates ratiometrically using the supply voltage as reference and achieves ±0.0125% FSR INL and 4 µVP-P noise for high-accuracy sensor measurements in space-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 datasheet, ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 pinout, ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 application, or ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in portable instrumentation and smart transmitters, and validated alternative options - all grounded in TI's SBAS239B specification.
Technical Context
The ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 implements a fully differential delta-sigma modulator with integrated digital filter and internal system clock (nominal 275 kHz), eliminating external timing components. Its ratiometric architecture ties full-scale range directly to VDD/PGA, enabling stable measurement against supply variation.
It features continuous self-calibration of offset and gain errors, no user intervention required, with calibration effects included in published INL (±0.0125% FSR) and offset drift (0.6–1.5 µV/°C) specs. Input impedance varies with PGA setting: differential = 2.4 MΩ/PGA, common-mode = 8 MΩ.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | Up to 16 bits with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full dynamic range utilization at 8 SPS. |
| Data Rate | Programmable 8/16/32/128 SPS - selects trade-off between noise (4 µVP-P at 8 SPS) and update speed. |
| PGA Gain | Selectable 1, 2, 4, or 8 - scales small differential signals (e.g., bridge outputs) to maximize ADC utilization without external amplification. |
| INL | ±0.0125% of FSR max - ensures <±2 LSB error across full scale at 16-bit mode, critical for precision metrology. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V rails without LDO overhead. |
| Quiescent Current | 90 µA active, 0.05 µA power-down - enables battery operation >1 year in low-duty-cycle sensor nodes. |
| I²C Address | Fixed 7-bit address 1001100 (0x4C) - allows coexistence with up to 7 other ADS1100 variants on same bus. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package (DBV), 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm × 1.15 mm body, gull-wing leads, moisture sensitivity level 1. Pin 1 marked by dot or beveled edge; marking "AD4" indicates I²C address 1001100.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AD0) | I²C address input | Factory-set to logic HIGH (1001100); not user-configurable - determines unique slave address on I²C bus. |
| 2 (VIN+) | Differential analog input (+) | Non-inverting input; accepts voltage from GND – 0.2 V to VDD + 0.2 V - requires low-impedance source or buffer for >10 kΩ sources. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground pin shared for analog and digital sections - must connect to clean system ground plane with short trace. |
| 4 (VIN–) | Differential analog input (–) | Inverting input; same voltage range as VIN+ - enables true differential measurement rejecting common-mode noise. |
| 5 (VDD) | Power supply | 2.7–5.5 V supply; also serves as ratiometric reference - bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed ≤2 mm from pin. |
| 6 (SCL) | I²C clock input | Input-only (slave mode); supports Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and High-Speed (3.4 MHz) modes - requires external pull-up resistor. |
| 7 (SDA) | I²C data bidirectional | Open-drain I/O; shares bus with other slaves - requires external pull-up; ACK/NACK handled automatically during read/write. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Continuous self-calibration | Eliminates manual offset/gain trim and long-term drift compensation - maintains ±0.0125% FSR INL over –40°C to +85°C without firmware intervention. |
| Differential input architecture | Rejects common-mode noise up to 100 dB (PGA = 8) - enables accurate readings from noisy industrial environments or unshielded sensor cables. |
| Ratiometric operation | Full-scale range = 2 × VDD/PGA - removes need for precision voltage reference and makes measurement immune to VDD ripple or tolerance. |
| Low-noise PGA | 4 µVP-P input-referred noise at 8 SPS - resolves sub-µV signal changes when paired with high-resolution sensors like strain gauges. |
| Single-conversion auto-power-down | Reduces current to 0.05 µA between reads - extends battery life in wake-on-event sensor nodes without external enable control. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1115IRUGR | 4-channel, 16-bit, programmable comparator, 860 SPS max, QFN-10 package | Supports multiplexed 4-input sensing; higher speed but larger footprint and no ratiometric reference | Choose ADS1115IRUGR when measuring multiple sensors on one bus or requiring alert output; ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 preferred for ultra-low-power single-channel or space-constrained designs. |
| MCP3421A0T-E/CH | 18-bit, 15 SPS max, PGA = 1/2/4/8, SOT23-6, I²C address 0x68 | Higher resolution but slower (15 SPS vs 128 SPS), higher typical current (145 µA), no self-calibration | Choose MCP3421A0T-E/CH only if 18-bit resolution is mandatory and 15 SPS suffices; ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 offers better speed/power/accuracy balance for most 16-bit applications. |
Compared with ADS1115IRUGR and MCP3421A0T-E/CH, the ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 uniquely combines 16-bit no-missing-codes performance, continuous self-calibration, 128 SPS maximum rate, and 90 µA active current in SOT23-6 - making it optimal for battery-powered, space-limited, single-sensor precision measurement where long-term stability is critical.

FAQ
What is the I²C address of the ADS1100A4IDBVRG4?
The ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 has a fixed 7-bit I²C slave address of 1001100 (0x4C), determined by its AD4 factory setting. This address is hardwired and cannot be changed via pins or registers. The device responds only to this address on the I²C bus, enabling reliable multi-device configurations when combined with other ADS1100 variants (e.g., ADS1100A0 at 0x48).
Does the ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 require an external voltage reference?
No, the ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 does not require an external voltage reference. It operates ratiometrically using VDD as its reference voltage, so full-scale range equals 2 × VDD/PGA. This eliminates component count and cost while ensuring measurement stability against VDD variation - a key advantage confirmed in TI's SBAS239B datasheet Section "Theory of Operation".
How does the self-calibration function in the ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 work?
The ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 performs continuous, automatic self-calibration of offset and gain errors without user intervention or external commands. The calibration circuitry runs in the background during normal operation and cannot be disabled. All published specifications - including ±0.0125% FSR INL and offset drift (0.6–1.5 µV/°C) - reflect calibrated performance, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SBAS239B datasheet.
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the ADS1100A4IDBVRG4?
The ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 supports four programmable data rates: 8, 16, 32, and 128 samples per second (SPS). At 128 SPS, resolution is 12 bits (no missing codes); at 8 SPS, it achieves full 16-bit resolution with 4 µVP-P noise. These rates are selected via DR[1:0] bits in the configuration register, with 8 SPS as the default setting per Table VI in SBAS239B.
Can the ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 measure negative differential input voltages?
Yes, the ADS1100A4IDBVRG4 accepts bipolar differential input voltages (VIN+ – VIN–) ranging from –VDD/PGA to +VDD/PGA, enabling measurement of both positive and negative signal swings. However, neither VIN+ nor VIN– may go below GND – 0.2 V or above VDD + 0.2 V - absolute limits specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of SBAS239B.
