Product details
Overview
ADS7817UC/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 200kHz SAR analog-to-digital converter with fully differential high-impedance inputs, 2.5V reference support, ±1 LSB integral linearity, and micro-power operation (2.3mW at full rate). It interfaces directly to transducers in battery-powered remote data acquisition systems using a 3-wire serial interface.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7817UC/2K5 datasheet, ADS7817UC/2K5 pinout, ADS7817UC/2K5 application, or ADS7817UC/2K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential input architecture, reference voltage scalability (100mV–2.5V), low 3µA shutdown current, SO-8 package compatibility, and Binary Two's Complement output format.
Technical Context
The ADS7817UC/2K5 implements a capacitive redistribution successive approximation register (SAR) architecture fabricated in 0.6µm CMOS, integrating sample-and-hold functionality. It requires an external clock (10kHz–3.2MHz), single +5V supply, and external reference-no internal reference or driver circuitry is included.
Its analog input accepts true bipolar differential signals up to ±VREF, with common-mode rejection of 80dB and power supply rejection of 82dB. Conversion timing is deterministic: 12 clock cycles for conversion plus 1.5 cycles for acquisition, with serial output (MSB-first) synchronized to DCLOCK falling edges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes with no missing codes guaranteed |
| Sampling Rate | 200kHz - supports real-time monitoring of fast-changing sensor signals |
| Integral Linearity Error | ±1 LSB - ensures monotonicity and ≤0.024% full-scale error at VREF = 2.5V |
| Power Consumption | 2.3mW at 200kHz - enables multi-hour operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Shutdown Current | 3µA max - reduces system standby power in sleep-mode data loggers |
| Reference Range | 0.1V to 2.5V - allows flexible input span scaling from ±49µV to ±1.22mV LSB resolution |
| Input Capacitance | 15pF - defines required source impedance matching to avoid settling-induced gain/offset drift |
Pinout & Package
ADS7817UC/2K5 is housed in an SO-8 (SOIC-8) surface-mount package with standard 1.27mm pitch, compatible with automated assembly and IPC-7351B footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VREF | Reference Input | External voltage sets full-scale analog input range; draws up to 25µA at 200kHz and code 7FFh |
| 2 +In | Non-Inverting Analog Input | Differential input terminal; must be driven with matched impedance to –In to maintain linearity |
| 3 –In | Inverting Analog Input | Differential input terminal; common-mode voltage range depends on VREF per Figure 3 |
| 4 GND | Analog Ground | Primary return path for analog circuitry; requires dedicated low-noise ground connection |
| 5 CS/SHDN | Chip Select / Shutdown Control | Active-low conversion trigger; HIGH forces full analog+digital power-down mode |
| 6 DOUT | Serial Data Output | 3-wire MSB-first output; data valid on falling edge of DCLOCK; tri-states after transfer |
| 7 DCLOCK | Data Clock Input | Synchronizes serial output and controls conversion speed; min. 150ns high/low time |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Differential Input | Rejects common-mode noise up to 80dB while enabling direct connection to bridge sensors without instrumentation amps |
| Micro-Power Operation | 2.3mW at 200kHz sampling enables >100-hour runtime on CR2032 in portable data loggers |
| Scalable Reference Interface | VREF range (100mV–2.5V) permits optimization of dynamic range vs. noise floor for specific transducer outputs |
| Short-Cycling Capability | CS HIGH during conversion terminates output early-enables adaptive bit-depth reduction to save power in threshold-detection apps |
| Binary Two's Complement Output | Direct signed integer representation simplifies firmware math for bipolar sensor signals (e.g., strain gauges, accelerometers) |
Applications
| Transducer Interface | Battery-Operated Systems |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Direct digitization of millivolt-level outputs from load cells, thermocouples, or pressure bridges in handheld test equipment.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolated-side ADC feeding isolated SPI or opto-coupled serial interface; operates from isolated 5V rail. Use Value: Bipolar input range accommodates ±2.5V current-sense amplifier outputs without level-shifting; SO-8 footprint fits tight isolation creepage/clearance constraints. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7816U/2K5 | 12-bit, 100kHz max sampling rate; identical SO-8 package and pinout; ±1 LSB INL at same grade | Lower throughput suits slower sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity); 1.15mW power at 100kHz | Select when 200kHz is unnecessary-reduces clocking EMI and reference current demand by 2× |
| ADS8320EB/250 | 16-bit, 100kHz SAR ADC in MSOP-8; 2.5V reference fixed; ±1 LSB INL; SPI-compatible interface | Higher resolution for precision metrology; larger die size increases cost and thermal drift sensitivity | Choose when ENOB >11.5 bits required; verify layout supports tighter MSOP-8 thermal management |
Compared with ADS7817UC/2K5, ADS7816U/2K5 trades half the sampling bandwidth for lower power and cost in static-signal applications, while ADS8320EB/250 provides 4 extra bits at the expense of higher price, larger reference stability demands, and reduced temperature robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS7817UC/2K5?
The ADS7817UC/2K5 supports a maximum sampling rate of 200kHz, achieved with a 3.2MHz DCLOCK input (16× oversampling ratio). At this rate, conversion time is fixed at 12 clock cycles plus 1.5 cycles acquisition, delivering deterministic latency critical for closed-loop control applications. Lower rates down to 12.5kHz are supported with proportional reduction in power consumption.
Does the ADS7817UC/2K5 include an internal voltage reference?
No, the ADS7817UC/2K5 requires an external reference voltage applied to the VREF pin. It accepts any stable voltage from 100mV to 2.5V, which directly defines the full-scale input range (±VREF for differential mode). The device draws reference current that varies with conversion result and sample rate-up to 25µA at 200kHz and code 7FFh.
What package type is used for the ADS7817UC/2K5?
The ADS7817UC/2K5 is supplied in an SO-8 (SOIC-8) surface-mount package with standard 1.27mm lead pitch and JEDEC MO-153 compliance. This package matches the pinout and footprint of the ADS7817U series and supports reflow soldering per IPC-J-STD-020.
How does the ADS7817UC/2K5 handle power-down mode?
The ADS7817UC/2K5 enters full power-down mode when the CS/SHDN pin is driven HIGH, reducing supply current to ≤3µA. In this state, both analog and digital sections are disabled. After conversion completion with CS LOW, only the analog section powers down-digital logic remains active, so true minimum current requires explicit CS HIGH assertion.
What is the output data format of the ADS7817UC/2K5?
The ADS7817UC/2K5 outputs data in Binary Two's Complement format, providing signed 12-bit results directly usable for bipolar signals. For example, input = +VREF yields 0111 1111 1111 (7FFh), midscale = 0000 0000 0000 (000h), and –VREF = 1000 0000 0000 (800h). No post-processing is needed for signed arithmetic in firmware.
