Overview
ADS131M04IPWR from Texas Instruments is a 4-channel, simultaneously-sampling, 24-bit delta-sigma ADC optimized for precision energy metering and power monitoring. It delivers 102-dB dynamic range at 4 kSPS (gain = 1), supports programmable gain up to 128, and features integrated 1.2-V reference, high-impedance inputs (≥1 MΩ at gains ≥8), and crosstalk of –120 dB - enabling direct connection to current transformers, shunts, and voltage dividers in electricity meters and protection relays.
For engineers reviewing the ADS131M04IPWR datasheet, ADS131M04IPWR pinout, ADS131M04IPWR application, or ADS131M04IPWR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world use-value mapping, pin-level design meaning, and validated alternative options for industrial-grade power metrology designs requiring simultaneous multi-channel sampling, low drift, and CRC-protected SPI communication.
Technical Context
The ADS131M04IPWR implements a 4-channel, independent delta-sigma modulator architecture with synchronized sampling across all channels, using a shared 8.192-MHz master clock (CLKIN) and configurable oversampling ratios (OSR) up to 16384. Each channel includes a low-noise PGA (gains 1–128), channel-specific offset/gain calibration registers, and programmable phase delay calibration (244-ns resolution).
It integrates a low-drift 1.2-V internal reference (±0.1% initial accuracy, 7.5 ppm/°C drift), digital filters (SINC3 + optional SINC1), CRC on register access and data frames, and a negative charge pump enabling input signals below AGND. Power modes include high-resolution (64 kSPS), low-power (32 kSPS), and current-detect mode (0.9 mA total supply current).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit delta-sigma - enables sub-μV input-referred noise (5.35 µVRMS) and precise energy measurement down to 0.1% accuracy. |
| Data Rate | Up to 64 kSPS (high-resolution mode) - supports fast transient capture in circuit breakers and protection relays. |
| Dynamic Range | 102 dB at gain = 1, 4 kSPS - sufficient for Class 0.2 electricity meter compliance with wide signal swing. |
| Input Impedance | ≥1 MΩ at gains ≥8 - allows direct high-impedance sensor interface without external buffering in battery test equipment. |
| Crosstalk | –120 dB - ensures channel isolation critical for simultaneous voltage/current measurement in polyphase meters. |
| THD | –100 dB (50/60 Hz, –0.5 dBFS) - meets IEC 62053-22 harmonic distortion requirements for revenue-grade metering. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V (AVDD/DVDD) - compatible with standard 3.3-V industrial rails and supports operation down to 2.4 V in standby. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for deployment in outdoor electricity meters and industrial protection relays. |
Pinout & Package
ADS131M04IPWR is packaged in a 20-pin WQFN (RUK) with 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body size and exposed thermal pad (to be connected to AGND). Pin functions are electrically identical to the TSSOP variant but arranged differently; the WQFN layout optimizes thermal performance and board space in compact metering modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0P–AIN3N (x2 per channel) | Differential analog inputs | Four fully independent, high-Z differential pairs - support direct CT/shunt sensing with ±1.3 V common-mode range and rail-to-rail differential swing. |
| AVDD / DVDD / AGND / DGND | Analog/digital supplies & grounds | Separate analog/digital domains with strict 0.3-V max ground offset - mandatory for noise-sensitive metrology; AVDD requires 1-µF decoupling to AGND. |
| CLKIN | Master clock input | Accepts 0.3–8.192 MHz external crystal or oscillator - sets OSR and data rate; 244-ns phase calibration resolution enabled at 8.192 MHz. |
| SCLK / DIN / DOUT / CS | SPI interface | CPOL = 0, CPHA = 1 timing - supports daisy-chain configuration; CRC-protected read/write ensures register integrity in noisy EMI environments. |
| DRDY | Data ready indicator | Active-low pulse synchronized to conversion completion - triggers host MCU DMA or interrupt without polling; pulse width = 4 × tCLKIN. |
| SYNC/RESET | Global sync or reset | Single-pin dual function: <1 µs low pulse resets device; 1–2047 × tCLKIN pulse initiates synchronized sampling across multiple ADS131M04IPWR devices. |
| CAP | LDO output | Internal digital LDO output - must be decoupled with 220-nF capacitor to DGND; enables DVDD bypass when CAP tied to DVDD (1.65–2.0 V operation). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous sampling across 4 channels | Eliminates inter-channel timing skew - essential for accurate power calculation (P = ΣVi×Ii) in 3-phase systems without software compensation. |
| Programmable channel-to-channel phase delay | 244-ns resolution calibration - corrects PCB trace length mismatches and sensor propagation delays to maintain <100-ns inter-channel alignment. |
| Integrated negative charge pump | Enables true bipolar input range (e.g., –1.3 V to AVDD) - supports grounded-current-shunt topologies without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) | Applied to all register reads/writes and data frames - prevents silent corruption in SPI communication during EMI events in switchgear environments. |
| Current-detect mode | 0.9-mA total supply current - enables always-on tamper detection in smart meters while maintaining microamp-level system sleep current. |
| Fast startup (0.5 ms) | First valid DRDY edge occurs within 500 µs of supply ramp - meets IEC 62053-21 wake-up time requirements for rapid event capture. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-channel, simultaneous-sampling, 24-bit delta-sigma ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS131M04IRSBT | Same silicon die, 20-pin WQFN package with wettable flanks (RSBT); identical electrical specs and pinout. | Optimized for automated optical inspection (AOI) and solder-joint reliability in high-volume meter manufacturing. | Select RSBT for production lines requiring IPC-A-610-compliant solder joint inspection; IPWR remains optimal for prototyping and thermal-limited layouts. |
| AD7606C-24 | SAR architecture (not delta-sigma); 8-channel, ±10 V input range; no integrated reference or charge pump; higher power (120 mW vs 3.3 mW). | Better suited for general-purpose DAQ with wide input range; lacks metrology-specific features like phase calibration and current-detect mode. | Choose AD7606C-24 only if ±10 V single-ended inputs and faster throughput (>1 MSPS) are required; ADS131M04IPWR is superior for low-power, high-precision energy measurement. |
Compared with ADS131M04IRSBT, the ADS131M04IPWR offers identical metrology performance but prioritizes thermal dissipation via standard WQFN; versus AD7606C-24, it trades raw speed for 30× lower power, integrated reference, and built-in features essential for revenue-grade metering compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the ADS131M04IPWR?
The ADS131M04IPWR supports a maximum data rate of 64 kSPS in high-resolution mode with an 8.192-MHz CLKIN. This is achieved using OSR = 128 and SINC3 filter configuration. Lower data rates (32 kSPS, 16 kSPS) are available in low-power and very-low-power modes with reduced current consumption - all while maintaining 24-bit resolution and simultaneous sampling across all four channels. The ADS131M04IPWR achieves this without sacrificing dynamic range or THD performance.
Does the ADS131M04IPWR require an external voltage reference?
No, the ADS131M04IPWR integrates a low-drift 1.2-V internal voltage reference with ±0.1% initial accuracy and 7.5 ppm/°C temperature drift. This eliminates the need for external reference components, reduces PCB area, and improves system-level accuracy stability over temperature and time. The internal reference is used for both ADC conversion and gain calibration, ensuring consistent scaling across operating conditions - a key advantage of the ADS131M04IPWR in metrology applications.
How does the ADS131M04IPWR handle crosstalk between channels?
The ADS131M04IPWR achieves –120 dB crosstalk between channels at 50/60 Hz, verified across all four differential input pairs. This is accomplished through fully independent modulator paths, isolated analog routing, and careful layout partitioning within the IC. The result is minimal signal leakage - critical when measuring voltage and current on the same phase or adjacent phases in a 3-phase meter. This performance is guaranteed in the ADS131M04IPWR datasheet and does not require external shielding or guard traces.
Can the ADS131M04IPWR interface directly with current shunts without external amplification?
Yes, the ADS131M04IPWR supports direct shunt connection via its high-input-impedance PGA. At gain = 128, input impedance exceeds 1 MΩ, allowing low-noise measurement of mV-level shunt voltages (e.g., 50 mV full-scale) without buffer op-amps. Its integrated negative charge pump also enables true bipolar input operation - supporting grounded-shunt configurations where one side of the shunt is at system ground. This capability is a core design feature of the ADS131M04IPWR.
What power-saving modes does the ADS131M04IPWR offer beyond shutdown?
The ADS131M04IPWR provides three active low-power modes: low-power mode (32 kSPS, 6.6 mW), very-low-power mode (16 kSPS, 3.3 mW), and current-detect mode (0.9 mA total supply current, ~2.9 mW). Current-detect mode maintains full register accessibility and DRDY functionality while minimizing power - ideal for tamper detection in smart meters. All modes retain simultaneous sampling and calibration capabilities, distinguishing the ADS131M04IPWR from generic low-power ADCs.
