Product details
Overview
ADS1120QPWRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified, 16-bit, 2-kSPS delta-sigma ADC with integrated PGA (gain 1–128), dual programmable current sources (50 µA to 1.5 mA), internal 2.048 V reference (5 ppm/°C drift), and SPI interface. It supports two differential or four single-ended inputs and delivers 16-bit noise-free resolution at 20 SPS for high-accuracy sensor signal acquisition in battery management and RTD-based temperature monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the ADS1120QPWRQ1 datasheet, ADS1120QPWRQ1 pinout, ADS1120QPWRQ1 application, or ADS1120QPWRQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, TSSOP-16 package mapping, functional alternatives, and automotive-grade supply chain support - all grounded in TI's SBAS683C production data sheet.
Technical Context
The ADS1120QPWRQ1 implements a delta-sigma modulator with single-cycle settling and a programmable digital filter enabling simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection at 20 SPS. Its flexible MUX routes up to four analog inputs to a low-noise PGA or bypass path, supporting both pseudo-differential and fully differential measurement topologies.
Integrated features include dual matched IDACs for 2-/3-/4-wire RTD excitation, a precision internal temperature sensor (±0.5°C accuracy), low-side power switch (RON = 3.5 Ω), and internal oscillator (±1% accuracy). All operate across –40°C to +125°C with AVDD/DVDD supply range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes; guarantees monotonicity and full-scale linearity for precision sensor digitization. |
| Data Rate | Up to 2 kSPS in turbo mode; enables real-time monitoring of fast-changing automotive sensor signals. |
| PGA Gain Range | 1 to 128; allows direct interface to microvolt-level outputs from thermocouples and bridge sensors without external amplification. |
| Reference Drift | 5 ppm/°C (typical); ensures stable 2.048 V reference over full automotive temperature range, minimizing calibration burden. |
| INL Error | ±20 ppm FS (max); corresponds to <0.0003% full-scale error - critical for high-fidelity RTD and strain gauge measurements. |

| 2 CS | Digital input | Active-low chip select; tied to DGND if unused, enabling single-device SPI bus simplicity. |
| 6 AIN3/REFN1 | Analog input / ref negative | Shared terminal for analog input 3 or REFN1; internal low-side switch connects to AVSS for RTD 3-wire compensation. |
| 9 REFP0 | Analog input | Positive reference input 0; accepts 0.75 V to (AVDD – AVSS) × 2.5 V for flexible ratiometric or absolute measurements. |
| 11 AIN0/REFP1 | Analog input / ref positive | Shared terminal for analog input 0 or REFP1; enables dual-reference configuration or simplified single-ended input routing. |
| 14 DRDY | Digital output | Active-low data ready flag; indicates conversion completion and supports interrupt-driven firmware polling. |
| 15 DOUT/DRDY | Digital output | Combined SPI data output and DRDY signal; reduces pin count while maintaining synchronous read capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection | At 20 SPS with single-cycle settling - eliminates mains interference in noisy vehicle cabin or under-hood environments without external filtering. |
| Internal low-drift oscillator | ±1% accuracy over temperature - removes need for external crystal, reducing BOM cost and PCB area in space-constrained modules. |
| Bypassable PGA | Configurable gain 1–4 without PGA enabled - preserves high input impedance (>10 GΩ) for direct connection to high-Z sensors like thermistors. |
| Functional safety documentation | TI-provided FIT rate, failure modes, and diagnostic coverage data - accelerates ISO 26262 ASIL-B system certification efforts. |
| Low-power duty-cycle mode | 120 µA typical current draw with PGA disabled - extends battery life in always-on automotive monitoring nodes. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1220IPWR | 24-bit resolution, same PGA (1–128), identical TSSOP-16 package, but non-automotive grade (no AEC-Q100). | Lacks automotive qualification and functional safety documentation - suitable for industrial or consumer designs where ASIL compliance is not required. | Select ADS1220IPWR only when higher resolution is prioritized over automotive qualification and safety certification support. |
| ADS112U04IPWR | UART interface instead of SPI; includes onboard UART transceiver; same 16-bit resolution and PGA, but no internal oscillator or temperature sensor. | Designed for microcontroller-less sensor nodes; eliminates need for host MCU SPI driver but adds UART protocol overhead and reduces configurability. | Choose ADS112U04IPWR when integrating into simple remote sensors without a host processor, accepting trade-offs in flexibility and diagnostics. |
Compared with ADS1120QPWRQ1, ADS1220IPWR offers higher resolution but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and safety documentation, while ADS112U04IPWR trades SPI configurability and on-chip diagnostics for UART simplicity - making ADS1120QPWRQ1 the optimal choice for ASIL-B automotive sensor nodes requiring integrated PGA, IDACs, and functional safety support.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the ADS1120QPWRQ1?
The ADS1120QPWRQ1 is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 with an operating ambient temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This specification is guaranteed across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including INL, offset drift, and reference stability - making it suitable for under-hood and powertrain applications where thermal stress is extreme.
Does the ADS1120QPWRQ1 support 3-wire RTD measurements?
Yes, the ADS1120QPWRQ1 supports 3-wire RTD measurements via its internal low-side power switch connected to pin AIN3/REFN1 and dual programmable current sources. When configured with one IDAC sourcing current through the RTD and the second IDAC sinking current through the lead wire, the device enables automatic lead resistance cancellation - a core requirement for high-accuracy 3-wire Pt100 implementations.
Can the ADS1120QPWRQ1 operate without an external reference?
Yes, the ADS1120QPWRQ1 includes an internal 2.048 V reference with 5 ppm/°C typical drift and ±0.15% initial accuracy. It can be used directly for ratiometric or absolute measurements, eliminating the need for external reference ICs in most automotive sensor applications - though external references remain supported via REFP0/REFN0 pins for enhanced stability.
What SPI modes does the ADS1120QPWRQ1 support?
The ADS1120QPWRQ1 supports SPI Mode 1 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 1), where data is sampled on the rising edge of SCLK and shifted out on the falling edge. Its timing requirements - including 150 ns minimum SCLK period and 50 ns CS-to-SCLK setup - are fully compatible with standard ARM Cortex-M and automotive MCU SPI peripherals without custom timing adjustments.
Is functional safety documentation available for the ADS1120QPWRQ1?
Yes, Texas Instruments provides functional safety documentation for the ADS1120QPWRQ1, including FIT rate calculation, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage metrics aligned with ISO 26262. This documentation is publicly accessible via TI's product folder and supports ASIL-B system-level safety case development for automotive applications.
