Product details
Overview
ADS7280IRSAT from Texas Instruments is a 14-bit, 1-MSPS dual-channel unipolar SAR analog-to-digital converter with integrated 2:1 MUX, programmable TAG bit output, and SPI/DSP-compatible serial interface. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V analog supply, delivers ±0.4 LSB typical INL/DNL, and supports daisy-chain mode for multi-ADC systems in industrial data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7280IRSAT datasheet, ADS7280IRSAT pinout, ADS7280IRSAT application, or ADS7280IRSAT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-input MUX architecture, auto/manual channel select capability, 105.3 dB SFDR at 10 kHz, deep power-down mode (4 µA), and QFN-16 package compatibility with space-constrained sensor front-ends.
Technical Context
The ADS7280IRSAT implements a capacitor-based successive approximation register (SAR) core with inherent sample-and-hold, supporting both manual (CONVST-triggered) and auto-triggered conversion modes. Its dual-input MUX enables sequential sampling of +IN0 and +IN1 against COM, with programmable TAG bit indicating active channel in daisy-chain transfers.
It features a built-in 21–24.5 MHz internal conversion clock (CCLK), accepts external SCLK up to 50 MHz, and provides three power-down states-deep (4 µA), nap (0.5 µA), and auto-nap-with global CONVST independent of CS. The EOC/INT/CDI pin offers configurable polarity and duration for interrupt-driven readout.

Pinout & Package
The ADS7280IRSAT 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 0.3 V to +VA reference voltage; sets full-scale range for unipolar conversion |
| 2, NC | No internal connection | Must be left unconnected; no routing or grounding required |
| 3, CONVST | Conversion start trigger | Rising edge freezes sample-and-hold and initiates conversion using internal CCLK |

| 8, BDGND | Digital interface ground | Reference for +VBD supply and all digital I/O; must be separated from AGND |
| 9, SCLK | Serial clock input | Drives SPI timing; supports up to 50 MHz for high-throughput daisy-chain reads |
| 10, +VBD | Digital I/O supply | 1.65 V to 5.5 V CMOS-compatible logic supply; decoupling required near pin |
| 11, +VA | Analog supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V analog core supply; powers SAR, reference buffer, and sample-and-hold |
| 12, +IN1 | Second analog input | Noninverting input for second channel; used with COM in dual-input mode |
| 13, +IN0 | First analog input | Primary noninverting input; selected automatically in auto-channel mode |
| 14, COM | Common inverting input | Shared reference node for both channels; typically tied to AGND or system common |
| 15, AGND | Analog ground | Reference for analog circuitry; requires low-impedance star connection to +VA return |
| 16, REF− | Reference negative input | Must be connected to AGND via dedicated via to minimize noise coupling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7279IRSAT | Single-input (no MUX), identical resolution, speed, and package; lacks +IN1/COM pins and TAG functionality | Used where only one analog input is required per device; not suitable for multiplexed dual-sensor systems | Select when channel count is fixed and board space permits separate ADCs per signal path |
| ADS8329IPWR | 16-bit, 500 kSPS, single-ended input; higher resolution but lower speed and no dual-input MUX | Preferred for DC-critical applications like precision weigh scales where SNR > 90 dB is mandatory | Choose when absolute accuracy outweighs sampling rate and channel flexibility requirements |
Compared with ADS7279IRSAT and ADS8329IPWR, the ADS7280IRSAT uniquely combines dual-input multiplexing, 1-MSPS throughput, and daisy-chain support-making it optimal for compact, multi-sensor industrial data loggers where channel density and synchronization are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the ADS7280IRSAT and under what supply conditions?
The ADS7280IRSAT achieves 1 MSPS maximum sampling rate when the analog supply +VA is between 3.0 V and 5.5 V. At +VA = 2.7 V to <3.0 V, the maximum rate drops to 900 kSPS. This behavior is specified in the Electrical Characteristics tables and confirmed across both 5 V and 1.8 V timing sections of the datasheet.
Does the ADS7280IRSAT require an external reference voltage, and what are its valid input ranges?
Yes, the ADS7280IRSAT requires an external reference applied between REF+ and REF−. Valid VREF ranges are 0.3 V to +VA, with specific min/max values dependent on +VA and sample rate: e.g., 2.475 V to 2.525 V for fSAMPLE > 500 kSPS at +VA = 2.7 V–3.0 V, or 0.3 V to 3 V for fSAMPLE ≤ 500 kSPS at +VA = 3.0 V–3.6 V.
How does the programmable TAG bit function in the ADS7280IRSAT, and when is it active?
The TAG bit is the MSB (bit 15) of the 16-bit serial output and indicates which input channel (+IN0 or +IN1) was sampled during the most recent conversion. It is active only in daisy-chain mode and reflects the selected channel based on auto/manual configuration; it is not present in standalone SPI readouts.
Can the ADS7280IRSAT operate with separate analog and digital supply voltages, and what are the allowable ranges?
Yes, the ADS7280IRSAT supports independent analog (+VA) and digital interface (+VBD) supplies. +VA ranges from 2.7 V to 5.5 V for analog core operation, while +VBD ranges from 1.65 V to 5.5 V (or up to 1.5×+VA) for CMOS-compatible I/O. BDGND and AGND must be kept separate except at a single-point star ground.
What power-down modes does the ADS7280IRSAT support, and what are their typical current draws?
The ADS7280IRSAT supports three power-down modes: deep power-down (4 µA typical), nap mode (0.5 µA typical), and auto-nap mode (same current as nap). All retain register settings and allow wake-up via CONVST or CS without full reinitialization, making them ideal for intermittent-sampling applications.
