Product details
Overview
ADS7817EC/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 200kHz SAR analog-to-digital converter with fully differential high-impedance inputs, 2.3mW power consumption at full rate, ±0.75 LSB differential linearity, and MSOP-8 package - designed for precision transducer interfacing in battery-powered remote data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7817EC/2K5 datasheet, ADS7817EC/2K5 pinout, ADS7817EC/2K5 application, or ADS7817EC/2K5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its micro-power serial interface, reference-voltage-scalable input range (100mV–2.5V), bipolar differential input architecture, and shutdown current of ≤3µA - all critical for low-noise, isolated, or multi-channel sensing designs.
Technical Context
The ADS7817EC/2K5 implements a capacitive redistribution successive approximation register (SAR) architecture on 0.6µm CMOS, integrating sample-and-hold functionality. It requires an external reference (100mV–2.5V), external clock (10kHz–3.2MHz), and single +5V supply, with conversion timing fully synchronized to DCLOCK falling edges.
Its digital interface uses a 3-wire synchronous serial protocol: CS/SHDN initiates conversion and controls shutdown mode, DOUT outputs 12-bit two's complement data MSB-first after one null bit, and DCLOCK clocks each bit on the falling edge - enabling LSB-first readout or short-cycling termination after any bit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function across full operating range. |
| Sampling Rate | 200kHz maximum throughput - supports real-time monitoring of fast-changing sensor signals. |
| Power Consumption | 2.3mW at 200kHz (460µA quiescent current) - enables multi-hour operation on coin-cell batteries. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤3µA when CS = VCC - reduces system standby power by >99% versus active mode. |
| Differential Linearity | ±0.75 LSB (Grade C) - ensures <0.018% code-to-code nonlinearity for precision measurement. |
| Input Reference Range | 100mV to 2.5V - sets full-scale span from ±100mV to ±2.5V, enabling configurable sensitivity and noise floor. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 80dB - suppresses interference common to +In and –In, critical for noisy industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
ADS7817EC/2K5 is housed in an MSOP-8 package (3.0mm × 3.0mm, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable instrumentation and sensor nodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF (Pin 1) | Reference voltage input | Sets full-scale analog input range; accepts 100mV–2.5V; draws up to 25µA at positive full scale. |
| +In (Pin 2) | Non-inverting analog input | Accepts bipolar differential signal; absolute voltage must stay within –0.3V to VCC+0.3V. |
| –In (Pin 3) | Inverting analog input | Completes differential pair; absolute voltage limited to –0.3V to 4V; matched impedance required with +In. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground reference | Must connect to clean analog ground plane - separate from digital ground to avoid noise coupling. |
| CS/SHDN (Pin 5) | Chip select / shutdown control | Active-low conversion trigger; HIGH forces full analog/digital power-down mode. |
| DOUT (Pin 6) | Serial data output | Outputs 12-bit two's complement MSB-first after one null bit; tri-states when CS goes HIGH. |
| DCLOCK (Pin 7) | Data clock input | Synchronizes serial output and conversion timing; falling edge clocks valid data onto DOUT. |
| +VCC (Pin 8) | Positive power supply | Operates from 4.75V to 5.25V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True differential input architecture | Enables rejection of common-mode noise and direct connection to bridge transducers without external instrumentation amplifiers. |
| Micro-power operation | 2.3mW at 200kHz sampling allows integration into energy-harvesting or battery-only systems with multi-year runtime. |
| Reference-voltage scalable resolution | LSB size adjusts from 49µV (100mV ref) to 1.22mV (2.5V ref), permitting trade-off between dynamic range and noise sensitivity. |
| Short-cycle conversion capability | CS can terminate conversion after any bit - reduces average power when only coarse threshold detection is needed. |
| High input impedance (>1GΩ in hold mode) | Minimizes loading on high-impedance sensors (e.g., piezoelectric, thermopile) without external buffers. |
Applications
| Transducer Interface | Battery Operated Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Direct digitization of millivolt-level outputs from load cells, strain gauges, or thermocouples in handheld test equipment.

Use Value: 15pF input capacitance and matched +In/–In impedance tolerance allow stable 200kHz sampling over 10m cables without external RC filtering. |
Use Scenario: Digitizing motor phase currents in AC inverter drives where ADC must be galvanically isolated from high-voltage power stages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolation-side ADC paired with digital isolators - receives isolated clock and CS signals, outputs serial data across barrier. Use Value: Serial interface and precise timing control (tdis = 25ns, tdDO = 85ns) ensure deterministic latency and synchronization with isolated gate drivers. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7816E/2K5 | 12-bit, 100kHz max sampling rate; same MSOP-8 package and pinout; lower power (1.2mW @ 100kHz) but half the speed. | Best suited for slower-sampling applications like temperature logging where 200kHz is unnecessary. | Select ADS7817EC/2K5 when ≥200kHz sampling or superior CMRR (80dB vs 75dB) is required; choose ADS7816E/2K5 to reduce power in sub-100kHz systems. |
| ADS8325IBDBR | 16-bit, 100kSPS SAR ADC in MSOP-10; higher resolution and SNR (86dB), but larger package, higher power (12mW), and no shutdown mode. | Targets high-precision applications such as calibration equipment where resolution outweighs power or size constraints. | ADS7817EC/2K5 offers better power efficiency and smaller footprint for 12-bit needs; ADS8325IBDBR is appropriate only when true 16-bit ENOB is mandatory. |
Compared with ADS7817EC/2K5, ADS7816E/2K5 trades speed for lower power in identical packaging, while ADS8325IBDBR sacrifices power and size for 4-bit resolution gain - making ADS7817EC/2K5 the optimal balance of speed, precision, and micro-power operation in MSOP-8 form factor.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS7817EC/2K5?
The ADS7817EC/2K5 supports a maximum sampling rate of 200kHz, achieved with a 3.2MHz DCLOCK signal (16× oversampling). At this rate, it consumes 2.3mW and delivers 12-bit resolution with no missing codes. Lower rates reduce power linearly - e.g., 12.5kHz sampling draws only 40µA quiescent current.
Does the ADS7817EC/2K5 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS7817EC/2K5 requires an external reference voltage applied to the VREF pin. It operates with references from 100mV to 2.5V, directly setting the full-scale input range (±VREF). The reference must be stable and low-noise; typical current draw ranges from 1.3µA at low sample rates to 25µA at full scale and 200kHz.
How does the ADS7817EC/2K5 handle power management in battery-powered designs?
The ADS7817EC/2K5 provides two power-saving mechanisms: automatic power-down after conversion completion and full shutdown when CS/SHDN is driven HIGH, reducing current to ≤3µA. Combined with short-cycle conversion (terminating early via CS), it enables ultra-low average power in duty-cycled sensor systems.
What is the significance of the "EC" suffix in ADS7817EC/2K5?
The "EC" suffix denotes the MSOP-8 package with Grade C performance: ±1 LSB integral linearity error and ±0.75 LSB differential linearity error over –40°C to +85°C. The "/2K5" indicates tape-and-reel packaging with 2500 units per reel - standard for automated SMT assembly.
Can the ADS7817EC/2K5 interface directly with a microcontroller's SPI port?
Yes, the ADS7817EC/2K5 uses a 3-wire synchronous serial interface compatible with standard SPI modes. It outputs data MSB-first on DOUT synchronized to DCLOCK falling edges, with CS/SHDN acting as chip-select. No level-shifting is needed for 5V-tolerant MCUs; timing parameters (e.g., tdDO = 85ns) meet most SPI controller requirements.
