Product details
Overview
ADS112U04IRTET from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter with integrated UART interface, programmable gain amplifier (PGA), dual matched current sources (10 µA to 1.5 mA), internal 2.048-V reference (5 ppm/°C drift), and precision temperature sensor (±0.5°C accuracy). It supports up to 2 kSPS, offers simultaneous 50/60-Hz rejection at 20 SPS, and targets thermocouple and RTD measurement in industrial temperature transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the ADS112U04IRTET datasheet, ADS112U04IRTET pinout, ADS112U04IRTET application, or ADS112U04IRTET equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, WQFN-16 pin mapping, real-world use cases in PLC analog input modules and patient monitoring systems, and validated alternative parts for design continuity.
Technical Context
The ADS112U04IRTET integrates a low-noise PGA (gain 1–128), flexible 4-channel analog multiplexer (supporting two differential or four single-ended inputs), and on-chip 2.048-V reference with 5 ppm/°C typical drift. Its digital filter enables single-cycle settling and simultaneous 50-Hz/60-Hz rejection at 20 SPS - critical for noisy industrial environments.
It features a 2-wire UART interface (8-N-1, up to 120 kBaud with auto-baud detection) and three GPIOs (GPIO0, GPIO1, GPIO2/DRDY), enabling direct microcontroller connectivity without external level shifters or protocol converters. The device operates from –40°C to +125°C and supports unipolar (2.3 V–5.5 V) and bipolar analog supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes; ensures full-scale linearity for high-fidelity sensor digitization. |
| Data Rate | Up to 2 kSPS in turbo mode; supports fast-response temperature control loops and transient detection. |
| Input Configuration | Two differential or four single-ended inputs via integrated MUX; simplifies wiring for multi-sensor systems. |
| PGA Gain Range | 1 to 128; enables direct interface with low-output sensors like K-type thermocouples (≈41 µV/°C) and 100-Ω RTDs. |
| Reference Voltage | Internal 2.048-V reference with 5 ppm/°C typical drift; eliminates need for external precision reference in cost-sensitive designs. |

Pinout & Package
ADS112U04IRTET is housed in a 3.0-mm × 3.0-mm, 0.75-mm height, 16-pin WQFN package (RTE) with exposed thermal pad connected to AVSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN3 | Analog input | Four single-ended or two differential analog inputs; configurable via MUX register for flexible sensor routing. |
| REFP / REFN | Reference input | Differential reference pair; accepts internal 2.048 V or external reference up to AVDD–AVSS. |
| AVDD / AVSS | Analog supply | Separate analog power domain (2.3 V–5.5 V); decoupling to AVSS minimizes noise coupling into ADC core. |
| DVDD / DGND | Digital supply | Digital I/O supply (2.3 V–5.5 V); independent from analog rail to suppress digital switching noise. |
| RX / TX | UART interface | 2-wire UART (8-N-1) with auto-baud detection; reduces isolation channel count in high-voltage industrial systems. |
| GPIO0–GPIO2/DRDY | General-purpose I/O | Three configurable pins; GPIO2 doubles as DRDY (data-ready) flag for interrupt-driven data acquisition. |
| RESET | Digital input | Active-low hardware reset; initiates power-on reset sequence and clears internal registers. |
| Thermal Pad | Thermal path | Exposed pad must be soldered to AVSS plane for optimal thermal performance (RθJA = 57.7°C/W). |

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 delta-sigma ADC, SPI interface, no UART; higher resolution but requires external level-shifting for isolation. | Better suited for ultra-high-precision lab equipment; lacks integrated UART and cold-junction sensor. | Select when resolution >16 bits is mandatory and host MCU supports SPI with isolation. |
| AD7124-4BRUZ | 24-bit sigma-delta ADC, SPI interface, 4-channel, integrated PGA and reference; no UART or GPIOs. | Targeted at high-channel-count data acquisition; requires external UART bridge or MCU with dedicated UART peripheral. | Choose for multi-sensor systems needing >100 dB SNR and built-in burn-out detection, accepting added interface complexity. |
Compared with ADS112U04IRTET, ADS1220IPWR trades UART simplicity for higher resolution and lower noise, while AD7124-4BRUZ offers more channels and better SNR but increases system-level design effort due to missing native UART and GPIO flexibility.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the ADS112U04IRTET?
The ADS112U04IRTET is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended range supports deployment in demanding environments such as industrial ovens, motor control cabinets, and outdoor process instrumentation where thermal stress is common. All key specifications-including INL, gain error, and reference drift-are guaranteed across this full range.
Does the ADS112U04IRTET support external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS112U04IRTET supports external reference voltages applied differentially between REFP and REFN pins, with valid range from 0.75 V to AVDD–AVSS. When using external reference, the internal 2.048-V reference is disabled. This allows optimization for specific full-scale ranges or improved absolute accuracy using a higher-stability external reference.
How does the UART interface of the ADS112U04IRTET simplify isolated designs?
The ADS112U04IRTET's 2-wire UART interface (RX/TX) reduces required isolation channels from four (for SPI) to two, cutting isolation component cost and board space. Its auto-baud detection eliminates fixed clock dependency, and 8-N-1 format ensures compatibility with standard microcontroller UART peripherals-enabling seamless galvanic isolation in safety-critical industrial systems.
Can the ADS112U04IRTET perform cold-junction compensation for thermocouples without external components?
Yes, the ADS112U04IRTET integrates a precision temperature sensor (±0.5°C accuracy) and dedicated CJC circuitry. When configured for thermocouple measurement, it automatically reads its own die temperature and applies correction to the thermocouple voltage, eliminating the need for external thermistors, RTDs, or compensation ICs in K-type and other base-metal thermocouple applications.
What are the power supply requirements for the ADS112U04IRTET analog and digital rails?
The ADS112U04IRTET requires separate analog (AVDD/AVSS) and digital (DVDD/DGND) supplies. AVDD operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V (unipolar) or ±2.3 V to ±2.75 V (bipolar); DVDD ranges from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. AVSS and DGND may be tied together or kept separate depending on noise isolation needs. Decoupling capacitors (≥100 nF) are mandatory at each supply pin.
