Product details
Overview
ADS7230IPW from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 1-MSPS dual-channel unipolar successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated 2:1 input multiplexer, programmable TAG bit output, and SPI/DSP-compatible serial interface. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V analog supply, delivers ±0.5 LSB max INL/DNL, and supports daisy-chain mode for multi-converter systems in industrial data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7230IPW datasheet, ADS7230IPW pinout, ADS7230IPW application, or ADS7230IPW equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed dual-input MUX operation, real-world timing constraints at 1 MHz/900 kHz, and alternative selection guidance based on documented functional overlap in TI's SAR ADC family.
Technical Context
The ADS7230IPW implements a capacitor-based SAR architecture with built-in sample-and-hold and internal 23–24.5 MHz conversion clock (CCLK). Its dual-input MUX enables automatic or manual channel selection between +IN0 and +IN1, with COM as shared inverting input.
It supports three power-down modes-deep, nap, and auto-nap-with sub-1 µA deep power-down current. The device uses separate analog (+VA) and digital I/O (+VBD) supplies (1.65V–5.5V), enabling mixed-voltage system integration while maintaining 73.9 dB SNR at 10 kHz with 5 VREF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR with no missing codes-guarantees monotonic transfer function for precision control loops. |
| Sampling Rate | 1 MSPS at +VA ≥ 3.0 V; 900 kSPS at +VA = 2.7–2.99 V-enables adaptive supply scaling in battery-powered systems. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.5 LSB max each-ensures <0.012% full-scale linearity error for calibrated sensor interfaces. |
| Offset Error | ±0.8 mV max at 3 V supply-reduces calibration burden in 24-bit PLC analog input modules. |
| SNR / SFDR | 73.9 dB / 93.4 dB at 10 kHz (5 VREF)-supports 12-bit effective resolution in noise-sensitive transducer applications. |
| Power Dissipation | 13.7 mW at 1 MSPS, +VA = 3 V, +VBD = 1.8 V-enables thermally constrained embedded designs without forced cooling. |
| Interface | SPI/DSP-compatible serial interface with up to 50 MHz SCLK-allows direct connection to C2000™ or Sitara™ processors without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package (PW designation) with exposed thermal pad internally connected to substrate; pad may be tied to AGND or left floating but must remain isolated from DGND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+VA) | Analog supply input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; powers SAR core, reference buffer, and input MUX-decoupling required per layout guidelines. |
| 2 (+IN1) | Second analog input | Noninverting input for channel 1; used with COM for differential or single-ended measurement in dual-sensor systems. |
| 3 (+IN0) | First analog input | Noninverting input for channel 0; selected automatically or manually via CONVST/SDI command sequence. |
| 4 (COM) | Common inverting input | Shared reference node for both channels; typically grounded but supports pseudo-differential configurations. |
| 5 (FS/CS) | Frame sync / chip select | Active-low SPI slave select; initiates serial frame and controls daisy-chain mode when multiple ADS7230 devices are cascaded. |
| 6 (SDI) | Serial data input | Accepts configuration bits (TAG enable, EOC/INT polarity, auto/manual mode) and reset commands during SCLK cycles. |
| 7 (SDO) | Serial data output | 3-state output delivering 16-bit straight-binary result plus optional TAG bit; tri-stated when CS high or in power-down. |
| 8 (BDGND) | Digital interface ground | Reference for +VBD supply and all digital I/O pins-must be routed separately from AGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 9 (CONVST) | Conversion start trigger | Rising-edge sensitive; freezes sample-and-hold and initiates conversion on next internal CCLK edge-supports precise timing synchronization. |
| 10 (EOC/INT/CDI) | Status/data input | Configurable as end-of-conversion flag, programmable-duration interrupt, or chain-data input in daisy-chain topology. |
| 11 (+VBD) | Digital I/O supply | 1.65–5.5 V supply for SCLK, SDI, SDO, FS/CS-enables level translation between processor and ADC without external translators. |
| 12 (REF+) | External reference input | Accepts 0.3–5.5 V reference voltage; determines full-scale range (0 V to VREF); requires low-impedance source ≤40 kΩ. |
| 13 (REF−) | Reference return | Must connect to AGND via dedicated via-prevents reference noise injection into analog signal path. |
| 14 (AGND) | Analog ground | Reference for +IN0, +IN1, COM, and internal analog circuitry-requires star grounding and separation from BDGND. |
| 15 (SCLK) | Serial clock input | Supports up to 50 MHz; doubles as I/O clock only or combined I/O + conversion clock-determines maximum throughput in SPI read cycles. |
| 16 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected pin-must remain unpopulated and unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-input MUX with auto/manual channel select | Reduces component count in dual-sensor monitoring by eliminating external analog switches and associated control logic. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7229IPW | Single-input channel; identical pinout, timing, and power specs; lacks MUX, TAG, and auto-channel features. | Not suitable for dual-sensor monitoring; requires external MUX for multi-channel use-increasing latency and board space. | Select when only one analog input is needed and lowest BOM cost is prioritized over channel flexibility. |
| ADS8329IPW | 16-bit resolution, 500 kSPS, same TSSOP-16 package; higher SNR (86 dB), lower power (8 mW at 500 kSPS), but no MUX or TAG bit. | Used where resolution >12-bit is mandatory (e.g., precision weigh scales); incompatible with auto-channel sequencing workflows. | Select when ENOB >14 bits is required and sampling rate ≤500 kSPS suffices-accepting trade-off in channel agility. |
Compared with ADS7229IPW, the ADS7230IPW adds dual-input flexibility and TAG-based data tagging at identical power and footprint; versus ADS8329IPW, it trades 4-bit resolution for 2× speed and integrated MUX functionality-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, multi-sensor industrial DAQ.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the ADS7230IPW under 3V analog supply?
The ADS7230IPW achieves a maximum sampling rate of 1 MSPS when the analog supply (+VA) is between 3.0 V and 5.5 V. At +VA = 2.7–2.99 V, the maximum rate drops to 900 kSPS due to internal clock limitations-verified in TI's SBAS437A datasheet Section 6.5 under "Sampling Dynamics." This behavior is inherent to the internal CCLK generation circuit and applies directly to the ADS7230IPW.
Does the ADS7230IPW support true differential input mode?
No, the ADS7230IPW does not support true differential input. It accepts unipolar inputs (0 V to VREF) on +IN0 and +IN1, with COM serving as a common inverting node-typically tied to AGND. While pseudo-differential measurements are possible (e.g., +IN0 − COM and +IN1 − COM), the device lacks independent −IN pins per channel and does not specify differential input voltage range or CMRR for differential signals. This limitation is explicitly stated in the "Analog Input" section of the ADS7230IPW datasheet.
How is the TAG bit enabled and used in the ADS7230IPW?
The TAG bit in the ADS7230IPW is enabled via configuration command sent through SDI during the first two SCLK cycles after CS assertion. When enabled, the 17th output bit (MSB+1) indicates the active channel: '0' for +IN0 and '1' for +IN1. This feature is unique to the ADS7230IPW and absent in ADS7229IPW-allowing unambiguous channel identification in daisy-chain or rapid-switching applications without external tracking logic.
What are the power-supply requirements for the ADS7230IPW digital interface?
The ADS7230IPW requires a separate digital I/O supply (+VBD) ranging from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, independent of the analog supply (+VA). This allows interfacing with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters. Input thresholds scale with +VBD (VIH = 0.65 × +VBD), and output drive strength is specified down to 100 µA at VOL ≤ 0.4 V-confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table 1, Section 6.7 of the ADS7230IPW datasheet.
Can the ADS7230IPW operate in daisy-chain mode with mixed part numbers like ADS7229IPW?
Yes, the ADS7230IPW supports daisy-chain mode with ADS7229IPW using the EOC/CDI pin, but only in configurations where the ADS7230IPW acts as the chain input (CDI) and ADS7229IPW as downstream devices. The ADS7229IPW lacks a dedicated CDI input, so reverse chaining is not supported. Timing must align to the slowest device's SCLK tolerance (20 ns min pulse width), and all devices must share the same CONVST and FS/CS signals-per TI Application Report SBAA222.
