Product details
Overview
ADS7229IRSATG4 from Texas Instruments is a low-power, 12-bit, 1-MSPS unipolar-input successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample-and-hold, SPI/DSP-compatible serial interface, and built-in conversion clock. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V analog supply, delivers ±0.5 LSB max INL/DNL, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It is used in precision transducer interface and medical instrument signal acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7229IRSATG4 datasheet, ADS7229IRSATG4 pinout, ADS7229IRSATG4 application, or ADS7229IRSATG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include unipolar input range (0 V to VREF), 18-cycle conversion time, deep power-down mode (1 µA), daisy-chain capability, and QFN-16 package compatibility with TSSOP-16 footprint.
Technical Context
The ADS7229IRSATG4 implements a capacitor-based SAR architecture with inherent sample-and-hold, supporting manual or auto-triggered conversions via CONVST and FS/CS control. Its internal 21–24.5 MHz conversion clock eliminates external timing components while enabling up to 50 MHz SCLK for high-speed serial readout.
It features programmable EOC/INT polarity, global CONVST independent of CS, and configurable status output (EOC, INT, or CDI). The device supports daisy-chain operation across multiple converters using SDO/SDI cascading and includes a TAG bit for channel identification in multi-device systems.

Pinout & Package
The ADS7229IRSATG4 is housed in a 4 × 4 mm, 16-pin QFN package (RSA) with exposed thermal pad internally connected to substrate; pad may be tied to AGND or left floating but must remain isolated from digital ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, REF+ | External reference input | Accepts precision voltage reference (0.3 V to +VA); determines full-scale range and ADC accuracy |
| 3, CONVST | Conversion start trigger | Edge-sensitive input that freezes S/H and initiates conversion on next internal clock edge |
| 4, EOC/INT/CDI | Status/data I/O | Programmable as end-of-conversion flag, interrupt, or daisy-chain data input in multi-device systems |
| 5, FS/CS | Frame sync / chip select | Enables SPI/DSP serial interface; controls SDO output enable and frame synchronization |
| 7, SDO | Serial data output | Tri-state CMOS output delivering 12-bit straight-binary result MSB-first on SCLK falling edge |
| 9, SCLK | Serial clock input | Accepts up to 50 MHz clock; serves as I/O clock only or dual-purpose I/O + conversion clock |
| 11, +VA | Analog supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V rail powering core ADC, S/H, and reference buffer; decoupling critical for SNR |
| 13, +IN | Differential analog input (+) | Noninverting input for unipolar differential measurement; accepts 0 V to VREF relative to –IN |
| 14, –IN | Differential analog input (–) | Inverting input, typically grounded; defines common-mode point and input range offset |
| 15, AGND | Analog ground | Reference return for analog circuitry; must be separated from BDGND to minimize noise coupling |
| 16, REF– | Reference return | Connects directly to AGND via dedicated via to minimize reference path impedance and error |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Multi-chip daisy-chain mode | Enables synchronous sampling across multiple ADS7229IRSATG4 devices using single SCLK/FS/CS bus |
| Three power-down modes | Deep power-down (1 µA), Nap (0.5 µA), and Auto Nap reduce idle current without sacrificing wake-up latency |
| Global CONVST independent of CS | Allows simultaneous conversion initiation across multiple devices regardless of individual CS state |
| Programmable EOC/INT polarity | Configurable active-high/low status output supports diverse host controller interrupt logic requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7229IRSAR | Same die, 3000-unit tape-and-reel packaging vs. 250-unit small reel (RSATG4) | No functional difference; suited for high-volume automated assembly | Select ADS7229IRSAR for production ramp; ADS7229IRSATG4 is ideal for prototyping and low-volume builds. |
| ADS8329IPWR | 16-bit resolution, 500 kSPS, higher SNR (86 dB), but higher power (12 mW @ 3 V) and no built-in CCLK | Better resolution for precision metrology; requires external clock and consumes more board space | Choose ADS8329IPWR when 16-bit accuracy outweighs power and integration trade-offs. |
Compared with ADS7229IRSAR, the ADS7229IRSATG4 offers identical electrical performance in smaller reel packaging for evaluation; versus ADS8329IPWR, it trades resolution for lower power, integrated clock, and faster throughput-making it optimal for cost- and size-constrained 12-bit applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the ADS7229IRSATG4 under 3V analog supply?
The ADS7229IRSATG4 achieves 1 MSPS sampling rate when +VA is between 3.0 V and 3.6 V. At 2.7 V ≤ +VA < 3.0 V, the maximum rate drops to 900 kSPS per the datasheet's specified conditions. This behavior is enforced by internal clock scaling and is fully characterized across the industrial temperature range for the ADS7229IRSATG4.
Does the ADS7229IRSATG4 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS7229IRSATG4 requires an external reference applied between REF+ and REF– pins. It supports reference voltages from 0.3 V to +VA, with typical use cases employing 2.5 V or 5 V references. The device does not include an internal reference, so accuracy and stability depend entirely on the external source connected to the ADS7229IRSATG4.
Can the ADS7229IRSATG4 operate in daisy-chain configuration with other ADCs?
Yes, the ADS7229IRSATG4 supports daisy-chain mode using its EOC/INT/CDI pin as chain data input and SDO as serial output. Multiple ADS7229IRSATG4 devices can share one SCLK and FS/CS bus, enabling synchronized conversions and compact multi-channel designs without additional glue logic.
What power-down modes are available on the ADS7229IRSATG4 and their typical current draw?
The ADS7229IRSATG4 offers three power-down modes: Deep Power-Down (1 µA), Nap (0.5 µA), and Auto Nap (0.5 µA). These modes are software-controllable via SPI commands and allow rapid wake-up (<1 µs) while reducing quiescent current significantly compared to active operation (5.7–7.0 mA at 1 MSPS).
Is the ADS7229IRSATG4 pin-compatible with the ADS7230 series?
No, the ADS7229IRSATG4 is not pin-compatible with the ADS7230. Although both share the same QFN-16 RSA package, the ADS7230 substitutes +IN0/+IN1/COM for +IN/–IN and adds a RESERVED pin, altering the pin mapping. The ADS7229IRSATG4 uses pins 12 (RESERVED) and 14 (–IN), whereas the ADS7230 assigns those to +IN1 and COM respectively.
