Product details
Overview
ADS7806UB/1K from Texas Instruments is a low-power, 12-bit sampling CMOS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) featuring a capacitor-based successive approximation register (SAR), integrated sample-and-hold, internal +2.5V reference, and dual parallel/serial digital interface. It achieves full 12-bit accuracy in ≤25 µs while consuming only 35 mW max at 40 kHz throughput, supporting ±10V, 0V to +5V, and 0V to +4V input ranges - enabling single-supply system design in industrial data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7806UB/1K datasheet, ADS7806UB/1K pinout, ADS7806UB/1K application, or ADS7806UB/1K equivalent, key selection criteria include its 72 dB min SINAD at 1 kHz, ±0.45 LSB max INL/DNL, power-down mode (50 µW), and SO-28 package compatibility with the ADS7807 for scalable resolution upgrades.
Technical Context
The ADS7806UB/1K implements a fully integrated SAR architecture with on-chip capacitor DAC, comparator, control logic, and clock generation. Its analog front-end supports three user-selectable input ranges via external resistor networks, and it accepts either internal (2.5 V ±20 mV) or external (2.3–2.7 V) references with laser-trimmed scaling resistors ensuring ±10 V range linearity.
Digital interfacing is flexible: parallel output delivers 12-bit data in two 8-bit bytes (MSB/LSB selectable via BYTE pin), while serial output provides MSB-first BTC or SB format synchronized to internal (≈900 kHz) or external (DC–10 MHz) clocks. BUSY pin signals conversion completion and data validity, and CS/R/C timing controls acquisition, conversion, and output enable independently.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4.88 mV LSB step size on ±10 V range for high-precision voltage measurement. |
| Throughput Rate | 40 kHz - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 130 kHz usable bandwidth (60 dB SINAD). |
| INL / DNL | ±0.45 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and <0.01% full-scale linearity error across industrial temperature range. |
| SINAD | 72 dB min at 1 kHz - supports >11.6 effective number of bits (ENOB) for dynamic signal fidelity. |
| Power Dissipation | 35 mW max at 5 V / 40 kHz - enables thermally constrained designs; drops to 50 µW in power-down mode. |
| Input Ranges | ±10 V, 0–5 V, 0–4 V - accommodates bipolar sensor outputs and unipolar microcontroller interfaces without external level-shifting. |
| Reference | Internal 2.500 V ±20 mV (8 ppm/°C drift) or external 2.3–2.7 V - eliminates need for external precision reference in cost-sensitive systems. |
Pinout & Package
ADS7806UB/1K is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (SO-28) package, 0.3" wide, fully specified for –40°C to +85°C operation. Pin spacing is 0.050", body width 0.300", and lead count matches the DIP-28 variant for layout compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| R1IN | Analog Input (Primary) | Accepts ±12 V max; configured for ±10 V range using 200 Ω series resistor and fixed scaling network. |
| R2IN | Analog Input (Secondary) | Accepts ±5.5 V max; used with R1IN for differential or dual-channel input configurations per Figure 7. |
| CAP | Reference Buffer Output | Requires 2.2 µF tantalum capacitor to AGND2; stabilizes internal reference buffer for low-noise conversion. |
| REF | Reference I/O | Connects to 2.2 µF cap to AGND2 when using internal ref; accepts external 2.3–2.7 V reference when REFD = HIGH. |
| SB/BTC | Data Format Select | HIGH = Straight Binary; LOW = Binary Two's Complement - determines sign encoding for bipolar inputs. |
| EXT/INT | Clock Source Select | LOW = internal DATACLK (~900 kHz); HIGH = external clock (DC–10 MHz) applied to DATACLK pin. |
| D7–D0 | Parallel Data Outputs | Tri-stateable; output 8-bit segments of 12-bit result - MSB byte when BYTE = LOW, LSB nibble when BYTE = HIGH. |
| BUSY | Conversion Status | Active-low open-drain output; goes LOW at conversion start and returns HIGH only after data registers update and settle. |
| R/C | Convert/Read Control | Falling edge initiates conversion when CS = LOW; rising edge enables parallel output latch when CS = LOW. |
| CS | Chip Select | Internally OR'ed with R/C; falling edge initiates conversion if R/C = HIGH; enables serial output when R/C = HIGH. |
| PWRD | Power-Down Enable | HIGH disables analog circuitry (sample-and-hold, reference, comparator) but leaves digital logic active for fast wake-up. |
| REFD | Reference Disable | HIGH disables internal 2.5 V reference; required when using external reference to avoid conflict and current contention. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single +5 V supply operation | Eliminates dual-rail supplies and simplifies PCB power delivery for embedded industrial controllers. |
| Pin-compatible with ADS7807 | Enables hardware reuse across 12-bit and 16-bit resolution tiers without layout changes or redesign effort. |
| Parallel + serial dual interface | Supports resource-constrained MCUs (serial) and high-speed DSPs/FPGAs (parallel) from same footprint. |
| Three programmable input ranges | Reduces BOM count by eliminating external gain/attenuation stages for ±10 V sensors, 0–5 V ADCs, and 0–4 V PLC I/O. |
| 50 µW power-down mode | Extends battery life in portable instrumentation; wake-up time <1 ms due to retained digital state and reference bias. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7805UB | 12-bit, 20 µs conversion time, 30 mW typical power, no internal reference - requires external 2.5 V reference. | Lacks internal reference and ±10 V range support; suited for space-constrained designs where external ref already exists. | Select when board-level 2.5 V reference is shared across multiple ICs and faster acquisition (<20 µs) is prioritized over integration. |
| ADS8320EB | 16-bit, 2.5 µs conversion, SPI-only interface, 2.7–5.5 V supply, 12 mW at 100 kSPS - higher resolution, lower power, serial-only. | No parallel interface or ±10 V range; optimized for low-power, high-resolution portable instruments with SPI host. | Choose for upgrade paths requiring >12-bit ENOB and SPI-native microcontrollers, accepting loss of ±10 V input and parallel bus support. |
Compared with ADS7805UB and ADS8320EB, the ADS7806UB/1K uniquely balances integrated reference, ±10 V input capability, parallel/serial flexibility, and industrial temperature rating - making it optimal for retrofitting legacy 12-bit systems needing minimal interface change and full-range analog support.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS7806UB/1K?
The ADS7806UB/1K supports a maximum throughput rate of 40 kHz, corresponding to a complete acquire-and-convert cycle of ≤25 µs. This rate is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) with VANA = VDIG = +5 V and internal reference enabled. At this rate, the ADS7806UB/1K maintains 72 dB minimum SINAD and ±0.45 LSB linearity performance.
Does the ADS7806UB/1K require an external reference voltage?
No, the ADS7806UB/1K includes a laser-trimmed internal 2.500 V ±20 mV reference with 8 ppm/°C drift, sufficient for most industrial applications. An external reference (2.3–2.7 V) may be used by asserting REFD = HIGH and connecting to the REF pin - but doing so disables the internal reference to prevent conflict. The ADS7806UB/1K reference architecture is fully validated in the SBAS021B datasheet.
How does the power-down mode function on the ADS7806UB/1K?
Asserting PWRD = HIGH on the ADS7806UB/1K shuts down all analog circuitry - including sample-and-hold, comparator, and reference buffer - reducing total power to 50 µW while keeping digital logic (BUSY, CS, R/C, BYTE) fully operational. Wake-up time is <1 ms, and conversion accuracy resumes immediately upon clearing PWRD, as confirmed in Section 6.5 of the ADS7806UB/1K datasheet.
Can the ADS7806UB/1K interface directly with a microcontroller lacking an external memory bus?
Yes, the ADS7806UB/1K supports serial output via SDATA and DATACLK pins, compatible with both internal (≈900 kHz) and external (DC–10 MHz) clocks. When EXT/INT = LOW, it generates its own clock; when EXT/INT = HIGH, it synchronizes to an MCU-provided clock - enabling direct connection to SPI-capable or GPIO-timed microcontrollers without parallel bus resources.
What input voltage ranges does the ADS7806UB/1K support, and how are they selected?
The ADS7806UB/1K supports three factory-configured input ranges: ±10 V, 0 V to +5 V, and 0 V to +4 V. Selection is achieved via external resistor networks per Table I and Figure 7 of the datasheet - no internal register writes or configuration commands are needed. Each range uses dedicated impedance matching (e.g., 200 Ω for ±10 V) to maintain specified INL/DNL and bandwidth performance.
