Product details
Overview
ADS7811U from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample-and-hold, precision 2.5V reference, and internal clock. It delivers 250kHz throughput, ±2.5V input range, 96dB SFDR at 100kHz, and operates over –25°C to +85°C in industrial systems requiring high-resolution data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7811U datasheet, ADS7811U pinout, ADS7811U application, or ADS7811U equivalent, key selection criteria include bipolar input range compatibility, parallel 16-bit two's complement output timing, internal reference stability, and SOIC-28 layout requirements for low-noise signal integrity.
Technical Context
The ADS7811U implements a capacitor-based SAR architecture with inherent sample-and-hold functionality, eliminating external S/H circuitry. Its internal 2.5V reference (±15ppm/°C drift) sets full-scale range, and conversion is controlled via R/C and CS signals with BUSY-driven data latching.
Digital outputs are parallel 16-bit binary two's complement, tri-stated during conversion and enabled only when CS is low and R/C is high. Aperture delay is 40ns, and acquisition time requires ≥4µs between convert pulses to ensure 16-bit accuracy across the ±2.5V input span.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - supports 76µV LSB step size for ±2.5V full-scale range |
| Throughput Rate | 250kHz - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 1MHz usable bandwidth |
| Input Range | ±2.5V - allows direct interfacing with ±5V-supplied op amps without level-shifting |
| SFDR @ 100kHz | 96dB min - ensures clean spectral analysis in wireless base station receivers |
| Integral Linearity | ±6 LSB - guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes over 15 bits |
| Reference Voltage | 2.5V nominal (2.48–2.52V) - stable internal source eliminates external reference component cost |
| Supply Voltage | +VS = +4.75 to +5.25V, –VS = –5.25 to –4.75V - supports standard dual-rail ±5V systems |
Pinout & Package
The ADS7811U is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (DW) package with three ground pins (pins 2, 5, 14), dual +VS pins (27, 28), and parallel 16-bit data bus (D0–D15).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Analog input | Accepts ±2.5V differential-equivalent signal; high-impedance (100MΩ) after capacitor charge |
| REF (Pin 3) | Reference I/O | Outputs internal 2.5V reference or accepts external 2.3–2.7V source; requires 0.1µF + 2.2µF bypass |
| CAP (Pin 4) | Reference buffer output | Drives internal capacitor array; contains high-frequency switching noise-must not power external circuitry |
| R/C (Pin 24) | Read/Convert control | High = enable data read; low = initiate conversion; timing-critical setup (≥100ns before CS) |
| BUSY (Pin 26) | Conversion status | Falls at conversion start, rises ~3.5µs later; rising edge used to latch D15–D0 into external registers |
| D15–D0 (Pins 6–22) | Parallel data outputs | 16-bit two's complement format; tri-stated when CS high, R/C low, or conversion active |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit, 100kSPS, SPI interface, external reference required | Lacks integrated reference and parallel bus; suited for lower-speed, space-constrained designs | Select when board area is critical and system already provides precision external reference |
| AD7606BSTZ | 16-bit, 200kSPS, simultaneous sampling, ±10V input range | Requires external ±15V supplies and external reference; targets multi-channel industrial DAQ | Choose for 8-channel synchronized acquisition where ±10V range and isolation exceed ADS7811U capability |
Compared with ADS7811U, ADS8325IPW trades throughput and integration for serial interface compactness, while AD7606BSTZ adds channel count and input range at the cost of higher supply complexity and no internal reference-making ADS7811U optimal for single-channel, ±5V-powered, reference-integrated precision systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended acquisition time between conversions for ADS7811U?
The ADS7811U requires ≥4µs between falling edges of the convert pulse to guarantee full acquisition of the ±2.5V input signal onto its internal sampling capacitor. This interval ensures the sample-and-hold settles to within 1 LSB (76µV) before conversion begins, maintaining specified 16-bit linearity and SNR performance across temperature.
Can ADS7811U operate with an external reference, and what is the acceptable voltage range?
Yes, ADS7811U can accept an external reference applied to the REF pin within 2.3V to 2.7V. When using an external source, the internal 2.5V reference is bypassed. However, full electrical specifications-including SFDR, SINAD, and linearity-are guaranteed only with the internal reference; external reference use may degrade performance due to gain/offset errors.
How does the BUSY signal function in ADS7811U timing, and why is its rising edge critical?
The BUSY signal in ADS7811U falls at conversion start and rises ~3.5µs later, indicating data validity on D15–D0. Its rising edge serves as a hardware latch trigger-used in typical implementations (e.g., with 74HC574) to capture the 16-bit result synchronously. Delaying latching beyond t11 (25–35ns after BUSY rise) risks reading invalid or metastable states.
What is the purpose of the CAP pin on ADS7811U, and how must it be decoupled?
The CAP pin on ADS7811U is the output of the internal reference buffer, directly connected to the SAR capacitor array. It carries high-frequency switching transients during bit decisions and must never power external circuitry. It requires strict decoupling: a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed immediately adjacent to the pin, plus a 2.2µF tantalum in parallel, both referenced to analog ground.
Does ADS7811U support true bipolar input operation, and how is zero-scale error managed?
Yes, ADS7811U supports true bipolar input operation with a ±2.5V range centered at 0V. Its bipolar zero error is specified as ±10mV, meaning the actual code transition from FFFFh (–76µV) to 0000h (0V) occurs within that offset window. This error drifts only ±2ppm/°C, ensuring stable midscale alignment across the –25°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
