Product details
Overview
ADS7824U/1K from Burr-Brown (now Texas Instruments) is a 12-bit, 4-channel sampling analog-to-digital converter with successive approximation architecture, ±10V input range, parallel/serial interface, and internal +2.5V reference. It achieves 25µs max complete conversion cycle, ±0.5 LSB max INL/DNL, and operates from single +5V supply - used in industrial data acquisition systems requiring multiplexed precision digitization of bipolar sensor signals.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7824U/1K datasheet, ADS7824U/1K pinout, ADS7824U/1K application, or ADS7824U/1K equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-pin SOIC package, continuous conversion mode, dual-output interface flexibility, ±10V channel-multiplexed input capability, and guaranteed no missing codes over –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The ADS7824U/1K integrates a 4-channel analog multiplexer, track-and-hold amplifier, 12-bit SAR ADC core, internal trimmed ±10V scaling resistors, and on-chip +2.5V reference buffer. Its control logic supports both CS/R/C–triggered discrete conversions and CONTC–enabled continuous cycling across all four channels.
It provides two mutually exclusive output modes: 8-bit+4-bit parallel (via D0–D7, BYTE-selectable) or 12-bit serial (MSB-first on SDATA, clocked by internal DATACLK or external source), with BUSY signaling conversion status and PWRD enabling 50µW power-down state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR - delivers 4.88mV LSB step size for ±10V full-scale range |
| Input Range | ±10V bipolar - supports direct connection to industrial transducers without external level-shifting |
| Throughput Rate | 40kHz - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 90kHz useable bandwidth |
| DC Accuracy | ±0.5 LSB max INL/DNL - ensures monotonicity and <0.012% full-scale linearity error |
| Power Dissipation | 50mW active / 50µW power-down - suitable for thermally constrained embedded systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial-grade reliability without derating |
| Reference | +2.5V internal (±0.25% initial accuracy, ±5ppm/°C drift) - eliminates need for external reference IC |
Pinout & Package
ADS7824U/1K is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (Package Drawing 217), 0.300" wide, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and thermal resistance θJA = 75°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN3 | Analog Input Channels | Four independent ±10V inputs; laser-trimmed for ±0.1% channel-to-channel gain matching |
| REF / CAP | Reference Output & Buffer Node | Outputs +2.5V nominal; requires 2.2µF tantalum bypass to AGND2 for stability and accuracy |
| D0–D7, BYTE | Parallel Data Interface | Tri-state 8-bit bus; BYTE selects MSB byte (LOW) or LSB nibble (HIGH) for 12-bit readout |
| SDATA / DATACLK / EXT/INT / SYNC / TAG | Serial Interface Signals | Supports internal clock (EXT/INT = LOW) or external clock (EXT/INT = HIGH); SYNC marks frame start; TAG enables bidirectional serial tagging |
| R/C / CS / CONTC / PWRD | Control Inputs | R/C initiates hold-and-convert; CS enables output; CONTC enables auto-sequencing; PWRD halts conversion and cuts power |
| BUSY | Status Output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; rising edge latches valid parallel data |
| AGND1 / AGND2 / DGND | Ground Terminals | Separate analog/digital grounds with ≤0.3V max potential difference - critical for noise isolation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-compatible upgrade path | Direct replacement for ADS7825 in 28-pin DIP/SOIC footprints - simplifies migration to 12-bit resolution |
| Continuous conversion mode | Automatically cycles through AIN0–AIN3 when CONTC = HIGH - eliminates host CPU polling overhead |
| Dual-output interface | Single device supports either microprocessor parallel bus or low-pin-count serial link - reduces BOM and layout complexity |
| Laser-trimmed input scaling | Guarantees ±0.1% channel-to-channel gain match and ±10V range without external resistor networks |
| Low-power operation | 50µW standby current enables battery-backed or energy-harvesting DAQ designs without sacrificing speed or accuracy |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, multiplexed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7824UB | Same SOIC package but ±0.5 LSB INL grade (vs. ±1 LSB for ADS7824U) | Required where tighter DC linearity is mandated (e.g., calibration equipment) | Select ADS7824UB if system-level INL budget demands <±0.5 LSB; otherwise ADS7824U meets general industrial specs. |
| ADS8320IB | 16-bit SAR, SPI-only interface, no internal reference, 200kSPS throughput | Higher resolution needed, but requires external reference and dedicated SPI controller | Choose ADS8320IB only when 16-bit resolution justifies added BOM cost and interface redesign; ADS7824U/1K retains parallel/serial flexibility and integrated reference. |
Compared with ADS7824UB and ADS8320IB, the ADS7824U/1K uniquely balances 12-bit precision, dual-output interface, integrated ±10V scaling, and industrial temperature support in a single 28-pin SOIC - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained DAQ modules where design reuse and supply chain continuity matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS7824U/1K?
The ADS7824U/1K supports a maximum throughput rate of 40kHz, corresponding to a complete acquisition-and-conversion cycle of 25µs. This is achievable in both discrete and continuous conversion modes, provided the input signal settles within the 5µs acquisition time and the multiplexer settles within 5µs. The device maintains ±0.5 LSB linearity and 70dB SNR at this rate when operated within its specified temperature and supply voltage ranges.
Does the ADS7824U/1K require an external reference voltage?
No, the ADS7824U/1K includes an internal +2.5V reference with ±0.25% initial accuracy and ±5ppm/°C drift, sufficient for most industrial applications. The REF pin outputs this voltage and must be bypassed with a 2.2µF tantalum capacitor to AGND2. An external reference (2.3V–2.7V) may be used for higher precision, but doing so forfeits the guaranteed ±0.5 LSB INL specification unless the external reference meets tight noise and drift requirements.
How does the continuous conversion mode work on the ADS7824U/1K?
When CONTC is driven HIGH and CS/R/C/PWRD are LOW, the ADS7824U/1K automatically sequences through AIN0 → AIN1 → AIN2 → AIN3 repeatedly, performing conversions without host intervention. Channel address pins A0/A1 become outputs reflecting the active channel. BUSY remains LOW between conversions, and serial/parallel data reflects the most recent completed channel result - enabling deterministic, low-latency multi-channel sampling.
Can the ADS7824U/1K interface directly with a microcontroller's parallel bus?
Yes, the ADS7824U/1K supports direct parallel interfacing via D0–D7, CS, R/C, BYTE, and BUSY. With PAR/SER = HIGH, it outputs 12-bit data in two bytes: MSBs on D7–D0 when BYTE = LOW, LSBs on D4–D0 (with D7–D5 tri-stated) when BYTE = HIGH. BUSY's rising edge serves as a ready/latch signal. No glue logic is required, and timing complies with standard 8051/68k-style bus protocols at up to 40kHz sustained throughput.
What is the purpose of the TAG pin on the ADS7824U/1K?
The TAG pin (D0 in serial mode) accepts serial input bits synchronized to DATACLK - either internal or external. Each TAG bit appears on SDATA 13–15 clock edges later, enabling bidirectional tagging of conversion results (e.g., channel ID, timestamp flag, or CRC). This feature allows host systems to embed metadata alongside ADC data without additional control lines, reducing interface complexity in serial-configured systems.
