Product details
Overview
ADS7809U/1KG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 100kHz sampling CMOS successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with integrated sample-and-hold, internal 2.5V reference, serial interface, and single +5V supply operation. It delivers ±3 LSB integral nonlinearity, 83dB SINAD at 20kHz input, and supports six input ranges including ±10V and 0V to 5V - deployed in precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring high-resolution DC and AC signal digitization.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7809U/1KG4 datasheet, ADS7809U/1KG4 pinout, ADS7809U/1KG4 application, or ADS7809U/1KG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10µs throughput time, SO-20 package compatibility with ADS7808, internal/external clock flexibility, binary two's complement or straight binary output format, and industrial –40°C to +85°C temperature rating.
Technical Context
The ADS7809U/1KG4 implements a capacitor-based SAR architecture with on-chip sample-and-hold and programmable input scaling resistors enabling six user-selectable analog input ranges. Its serial interface supports both internal clock–driven transmission (2.3MHz DATACLK output) and external clock synchronization with SYNC pulse generation for DSP interfacing.
It operates from a single +5V supply (VDIG = VANA = 5V), draws 16mA analog current and 0.3mA digital current, dissipates ≤100mW in active mode, and features power-down mode reducing consumption to 50µW. Input impedance varies per range (e.g., 22.9kΩ for ±10V), and reference can be sourced internally (2.48–2.52V) or externally (2.3–2.7V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - provides 65,536 discrete codes; LSB = 305µV for ±10V range. |
| Sampling Rate | 100kHz - enables real-time capture of signals up to 50kHz (Nyquist-limited) with full accuracy. |
| INL | ±3 LSB - ensures monotonicity and accurate representation of linear analog ramps across full scale. |
| SINAD | 83dB at 20kHz - supports high-fidelity digitization of audio-band and sensor signals with low noise/distortion. |
| Throughput Time | 10µs - includes 2µs acquisition + 8µs conversion; enables tight control loop timing in closed-loop systems. |
| Supply Voltage | +4.75V to +5.25V - single-rail operation simplifies power design; VDIG must not exceed VANA. |

Pinout & Package
ADS7809U/1KG4 is housed in a 0.3" wide SOIC-20 (DW) package with standard 1.27mm pitch, 2.65mm max height, and RoHS-compliant lead finish. Pin 1 identifier is marked via notch or bevel; tape-and-reel packaging (1000 units/reel) conforms to JEDEC MS-013 and TI DW0020A outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| R1IN, R2IN, R3IN | Analog Inputs | Three independent high-impedance inputs configurable for ±10V, 0V–5V, or other ranges using external resistor networks. |
| REF | Reference I/O | Outputs internal 2.5V reference or accepts external 2.3–2.7V reference; requires 2.2µF tantalum bypass to AGND2. |
| CAP | Reference Buffer Capacitor | Connects 2.2µF tantalum capacitor to AGND2 to stabilize internal reference buffer; critical for linearity stability. |
| SB/BTC | Data Format Select | LOW = binary two's complement (bipolar); HIGH = straight binary (unipolar); sets output coding scheme. |
| EXT/INT | Serial Clock Mode | LOW = internal DATACLK generation; HIGH = external DATACLK synchronization with SYNC pulse output. |
| R/C | Read/Convert Control | Falling edge initiates conversion and hold; rising edge (with CS LOW) triggers data readout in external clock mode. |
| BUSY | Status Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; used for handshaking with host controller. |
| PWRD | Power-Down Enable | HIGH disables analog circuitry, reduces power to 50µW, and retains last conversion result in output register. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single +5V Supply Operation | Eliminates dual-supply design complexity while maintaining full 16-bit performance across industrial temperature range. |
| Six Configurable Input Ranges | Includes ±10V, ±5V, ±3.33V, 0V–10V, 0V–5V, 0V–4V - selectable via external resistor networks per Table I. |
| Internal 2.5V Reference | 2.48–2.52V (±0.8%) with 1µA source capability; buffered output supports external loading with proper decoupling. |
| DSP-Compatible Serial Interface | SYNC pulse aligns data transfers to external clocks; TAG input allows streaming metadata alongside conversion results. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7809UB | ±2 LSB INL (vs. ±3 LSB), 86dB SINAD (vs. 83dB), same SO-20 package and pinout. | Higher linearity required in metrology-grade calibration fixtures where <0.005% full-scale error is mandatory. | Select ADS7809UB when tighter DC accuracy and improved AC performance justify cost premium. |
| ADS8320EB | 16-bit, 100kSPS, SPI-compatible, but uses external reference only; no internal 2.5V reference or multi-range resistor network. | Used in space-constrained designs where external reference already exists and simplified BOM outweighs configurability. | Choose ADS8320EB if system-level reference architecture is fixed and SO-20 footprint compatibility is secondary to SPI protocol alignment. |
Compared with ADS7809U/1KG4, ADS7809UB offers superior linearity and noise performance in the same footprint, while ADS8320EB trades built-in flexibility for protocol standardization and external reference dependency - guiding selection based on reference architecture and accuracy tier requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS7809U/1KG4?
The ADS7809U/1KG4 is fully specified for continuous operation at 100kHz sampling rate across the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This rate is achievable using either the internal clock (2.3MHz DATACLK output) or external clock up to 10MHz, with guaranteed 10µs throughput time including acquisition and conversion phases.
Does the ADS7809U/1KG4 require an external reference voltage?
No - the ADS7809U/1KG4 integrates a laser-trimmed 2.5V internal reference (2.48–2.52V) usable directly for most applications. However, it also supports external reference voltages from 2.3V to 2.7V applied to the REF pin, enabling higher system-level accuracy when paired with precision external references.
How does the ADS7809U/1KG4 handle different analog input voltage ranges?
The ADS7809U/1KG4 supports six specified input ranges (±10V, ±5V, ±3.33V, 0V–10V, 0V–5V, 0V–4V) via external resistor networks connected to R1IN/R2IN/R3IN and CAP/REF pins. Table I in the datasheet defines exact resistor values and connections; laser-trimmed scaling resistors ensure accuracy across all ranges.
Is the ADS7809U/1KG4 pin-compatible with other devices in the ADS78xx family?
Yes - the ADS7809U/1KG4 is explicitly pin-compatible with the 12-bit ADS7808 in the same SO-20 (DW) package. This allows drop-in upgrades from 12-bit to 16-bit resolution without PCB layout changes, preserving existing signal routing, power, and ground connections.
What digital interface protocols does the ADS7809U/1KG4 support?
The ADS7809U/1KG4 uses a proprietary synchronous serial interface - not SPI or I²C - with configurable clock source (internal or external), programmable data format (binary two's complement or straight binary), and optional SYNC pulse output for DSP synchronization. Data is transmitted as 16-bit serial stream on the DATA pin aligned to DATACLK edges.
