Product details
Overview
ADS1100A4IDBVT 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 a SOT23-6 package. It operates ratiometrically using the supply voltage as reference and draws only 90 µA in active mode. It is used in precision sensor signal conditioning for smart transmitters and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1100A4IDBVT datasheet, ADS1100A4IDBVT pinout, ADS1100A4IDBVT application, or ADS1100A4IDBVT equivalent, key selection factors include its guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes performance at 8 SPS, ±0.0125% FSR INL, 4 µVP-P noise, continuous self-calibration, and factory-programmed I²C address 1001100 (0x4C).
Technical Context
The ADS1100A4IDBVT implements a fully differential delta-sigma modulator with integrated digital filter and internal system clock (~275 kHz nominal). Its ratiometric conversion uses VDD as reference, eliminating external reference components. The PGA supports gains of 1, 2, 4, or 8 to resolve sub-millivolt signals without external amplification.
It operates exclusively as an I²C slave device with fixed 7-bit address 1001100 (0x4C), supporting Standard (100 kHz), Fast (400 kHz), and High-Speed (3.4 MHz) modes. Conversion is initiated via I²C register write to ST/BSY bit; single-conversion mode enables automatic power-down after each result, reducing idle current to 0.05 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16 bits with no missing codes at 8 SPS - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage for high-accuracy measurement systems. |
| INL | ±0.0125% of FSR max - ensures linearity error remains below ±5 LSB over full-scale range at PGA = 1. |
| Data Rate | 8 / 16 / 32 / 128 SPS - selectable via configuration register; 8 SPS enables lowest noise (4 µVP-P) and highest resolution. |
| PGA Gain | 1, 2, 4, or 8 - extends effective input range down to ±VDD/8, enabling direct digitization of mV-level bridge or thermistor outputs. |
| Supply Current | 90 µA active, 0.05 µA power-down - allows battery operation in portable instruments with multi-year runtime. |
| I²C Address | Fixed 7-bit address 1001100 (0x4C) - eliminates address conflict when multiple ADS1100 variants share same bus. |
| Input Impedance | Differential: 2.4 MΩ/PGA; Common-mode: 8 MΩ - requires low-impedance source or buffering for high-accuracy measurements. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6 package with exposed pad (DBV designation); 1.6 mm × 2.9 mm footprint; rated for –40°C to +85°C operating temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AD0) | I²C address select marker | Top-marking identifier "AD4" confirms factory-set I²C address 1001100 (0x4C); not electrically connected. |
| 2 (VIN+) | Differential analog input (+) | Non-inverting input of PGA; accepts voltage from GND – 0.2 V to VDD + 0.2 V. |
| 3 (GND) | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground connection for both analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance. |
| 4 (VIN–) | Differential analog input (–) | Inverting input of PGA; common-mode voltage must stay within GND – 0.2 V to VDD + 0.2 V. |
| 5 (VDD) | Power supply input | 2.7 V to 5.5 V single supply; also serves as ratiometric reference for A/D conversion. |
| 6 (SCL) | I²C clock input | Asynchronous master-generated clock; ADS1100 acts only as slave and never drives SCL. |
| 7 (SDA) | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain I/O; requires external pull-up; carries output register (16-bit), config register (8-bit), and ACK/NACK. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Continuous self-calibration | Automatically corrects offset and gain errors in real time; no user intervention or external calibration required. |
| Programmable data rate | Selectable 8/16/32/128 SPS via DR[1:0] bits - trade off resolution/noise vs. throughput without hardware change. |
| Ratiometric operation | Uses VDD as reference - eliminates need for precision external voltage reference and reduces BOM cost. |
| Low-noise PGA | 4 µVP-P noise at 8 SPS with PGA = 8 - resolves <10 µV signals in industrial sensor interfaces. |
| Single-cycle conversion | Completes full 16-bit conversion in one data rate period - enables deterministic timing for control-loop sampling. |

FAQ
What is the I²C address of the ADS1100A4IDBVT?
The ADS1100A4IDBVT has a fixed 7-bit I²C slave address of 1001100 (0x4C), determined by its factory-programmed AD4 marking. This address is unique among the eight ADS1100 variants and avoids bus conflicts when multiple units operate on the same I²C bus. No external address pins or jumpers are required.
Does the ADS1100A4IDBVT require an external voltage reference?
No, the ADS1100A4IDBVT performs ratiometric conversion using VDD as its reference voltage. This eliminates the need for an external precision reference, simplifying design and reducing BOM cost. Full-scale range equals ±VDD/PGA, so accuracy depends directly on supply rail stability and noise.
How does the self-calibration function in the ADS1100A4IDBVT work?
The ADS1100A4IDBVT incorporates continuous, automatic self-calibration that corrects offset and gain errors in real time without user intervention. Calibration occurs internally during normal operation and cannot be disabled. All published INL, offset, and gain error specifications include the effect of this built-in calibration.
What is the maximum achievable resolution and noise performance of the ADS1100A4IDBVT?
At 8 SPS data rate and PGA = 8, the ADS1100A4IDBVT achieves true 16-bit resolution with no missing codes and 4 µVP-P noise. This corresponds to ~1 µV RMS noise and enables reliable digitization of sub-millivolt differential signals, such as those from low-output load cells or thermopiles.
Can the ADS1100A4IDBVT operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the ADS1100A4IDBVT operates over a supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, including standard 3.3 V rails. At 3.3 V, its active supply current is ~90 µA and power dissipation drops to ~210 µW. Full electrical specifications-including INL, noise, and input impedance-are guaranteed across this entire voltage range.
