Product details
Overview
ADS7804PB from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 100kHz sampling successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample/hold, internal +2.5V reference, full parallel output, and ±10V input range. It operates from a single +5V supply, dissipates ≤100mW, and is specified over –40°C to +85°C for industrial data acquisition systems requiring high DC accuracy and low power.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7804PB datasheet, ADS7804PB pinout, ADS7804PB application, or ADS7804PB equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, package-specific layout guidance, and validated alternative options for precision 12-bit ADC selection in embedded instrumentation and process control.
Technical Context
The ADS7804PB implements a capacitor-based SAR architecture with on-chip sample/hold, clock generator, and three-state parallel output drivers. Its internal 2.5V reference (±0.45 LSB INL, 72dB SINAD at 45kHz) enables ±10V bipolar input scaling without external components, while the 10µs complete conversion cycle supports deterministic timing in microprocessor-controlled acquisition loops.
Control logic uses CS and R/C pins to initiate conversions and enable outputs, with BUSY signaling completion. The device features dual-mode data access-full 12-bit parallel or byte-wise via BYTE pin-and supports both internal and external reference configurations, maintaining guaranteed performance across its industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR - delivers 4.88mV LSB step size over ±10V range for precise voltage measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 100kHz max - enables 10µs per full conversion cycle including acquisition and digitization. |
| INL Error | ±0.45 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and <0.25% full-scale error for calibrated industrial sensing. |
| SINAD | 72dB min at 45kHz - supports accurate AC signal capture up to 250kHz full-power bandwidth. |
| Supply | +5V single supply - eliminates need for dual rails; VDIG must equal VANA for specified operation. |
| Power Dissipation | 100mW max - enables thermally constrained designs without heatsinking in DIP-28 packaging. |
| Input Range | ±10V differential - compatible with standard industrial sensor outputs and op-amp conditioning stages. |

Pinout & Package
ADS7804PB is housed in a 28-pin plastic DIP (0.3" width), with pin 1 at top-left when notch faces up. All ground pins (AGND1, AGND2, DGND) must be tied to a common analog ground plane; VDIG and VANA connect to the same +5V source. Decoupling requires 0.1µF ceramic + 10µF tantalum at VANA/V_DIG and 2.2µF tantalum at REF/CAP.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VIN | Analog Input | ±10V bipolar input node; 23kΩ impedance, 35pF capacitance; includes ±25V overvoltage protection. |
| 3 REF / 4 CAP | Reference I/O | REF accepts 2.3–2.7V external ref or outputs internal 2.5V; CAP supplies buffered reference current to CDAC. |
| 6–13, 15–18 D11–D0 | Parallel Data Output | 12-bit two's complement output; tri-stated when CS HIGH or R/C LOW; MSB on pin 6, LSB on pin 18. |
| 23 BYTE | Byte Select Control | LOW reads D11–D4 (MSB byte); HIGH reads D3–D0 plus DZ outputs (LSB byte + status). |
| 24 R/C | Read/Convert Control | Falling edge initiates conversion; rising edge enables parallel output; internally OR'd with CS. |
| 25 CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; falling edge (with R/C LOW) starts conversion; used with R/C for flexible timing control. |
| 26 BUSY | Conversion Status | Active-low open-drain output; goes LOW at conversion start, HIGH after data registers update (≤10µs). |
| 27 VANA / 28 VDIG | Supply Inputs | VANA powers analog section (16mA typical); VDIG powers digital section (0.3mA); must be tied together at +5V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complete A/D System | Integrates S/H, reference, clock, and three-state parallel drivers - reduces BOM count and board space vs discrete solutions. |
| Single +5V Operation | Eliminates need for ±12V or ±15V rails; simplifies power design while maintaining ±10V input capability via internal scaling. |
| No Missing Codes | Guaranteed 12-bit monotonicity - critical for closed-loop control where code gaps cause instability or dead zones. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C operation with full specification - enables deployment in factory automation, motor drives, and PLC modules. |
| Pin-Compatible Upgrade Path | Shares footprint and interface with 16-bit ADS7805 - allows resolution scalability without PCB redesign. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7804P | ±0.9 LSB INL (vs ±0.45 LSB), 70dB SINAD (vs 72dB), same package and pinout. | Lower DC accuracy; suitable for cost-sensitive applications where <0.5% full-scale error is acceptable. | Select ADS7804P only if system-level calibration compensates for higher INL and reduced AC performance. |
| ADS7804UB | SO-28 package (vs DIP-28), identical electrical specs including ±0.45 LSB INL and 72dB SINAD. | Surface-mount assembly required; better thermal performance (θJA = 75°C/W) but no through-hole option. | Choose ADS7804UB for automated production or space-constrained PCBs; ADS7804PB remains optimal for prototyping and manual assembly. |
Compared with ADS7804P and ADS7804UB, the ADS7804PB delivers the highest DC accuracy in a through-hole DIP package-making it ideal for lab-grade instrumentation and legacy industrial hardware where mechanical robustness and hand-soldering compatibility are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the ADS7804PB?
The ADS7804PB is specified for a maximum sampling rate of 100kHz, corresponding to a complete conversion cycle time of 10µs-including acquisition and digitization. This rate is guaranteed over the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range with ±5V supply tolerance and internal reference operation. Performance remains stable under these conditions without derating.
Does the ADS7804PB require external reference components?
The ADS7804PB includes an internal +2.5V reference and operates fully functional with only two external 2.2µF tantalum capacitors on REF and CAP pins. External reference use is optional: applying 2.3–2.7V to REF bypasses the internal reference and improves full-scale accuracy drift to ±2 ppm/°C. No external resistors or buffers are needed unless driving >2mA loads from CAP.
How does the BYTE pin function on the ADS7804PB?
The BYTE pin on the ADS7804PB selects between two 8-bit data access modes: LOW reads D11–D4 (MSB byte) on pins 6–13; HIGH reads D3–D0 plus four DZ status bits on pins 15–22. This enables efficient interfacing with 8-bit microcontrollers without external latches. Data is valid only when CS is LOW and R/C is HIGH, and BUSY is HIGH.
What is the purpose of the DZ pins on the ADS7804PB?
The four DZ pins (19–22) on the ADS7804PB output status information when BYTE is HIGH: they indicate BUSY state, conversion completion, and data validity flags-not data bits. Each DZ pin goes LOW when CS is LOW and R/C is HIGH, providing synchronized handshake signals for microcontroller timing without additional GPIO overhead.
Can the ADS7804PB operate from separate analog and digital supplies?
No-the ADS7804PB requires VDIG and VANA to be tied to the same +5V source, as specified in the absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics. Using separate supplies violates the "VDIG must be ≤ VANA" requirement and risks latch-up or degraded linearity. Best practice is to derive both from a clean analog +5V rail, decoupled locally with 0.1µF ceramic and 10µF tantalum capacitors.
