Product details
Overview
ADS7824UB/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 dual-output 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 across –40°C to +85°C - used in industrial data acquisition systems requiring multiplexed precision digitization of bipolar sensor signals.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7824UB/1K datasheet, ADS7824UB/1K pinout, ADS7824UB/1K application, or ADS7824UB/1K equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-channel ±10V multiplexer, dual-mode (parallel/serial) microprocessor interface, continuous conversion mode, power-down capability (50µW), and SOIC-28 package compatibility with industrial temperature operation.
Technical Context
The ADS7824UB/1K integrates a 4-channel analog multiplexer, track-and-hold amplifier, 12-bit SAR ADC core, internal +2.5V reference buffer (CAP/REF pins), and configurable digital interface supporting both parallel byte-access (D0–D7, BYTE control) and serial output (SDATA/DATACLK/SYNC/TAG). Its CONTC pin enables autonomous cycling through AIN0–AIN3 in continuous mode.
Conversion is initiated via CS/R/C edge-triggered control; BUSY indicates active conversion; PWRD enables 50µW standby; PAR/SER selects output mode; EXT/INT configures DATACLK as input or output. Internal laser-trimmed resistors ensure ±0.1% channel-to-channel matching and stable ±10V full-scale range without external scaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4.88mV LSB step size over ±10V range for high-fidelity sensor digitization |
| Throughput Rate | 40kHz - supports real-time sampling of dynamic industrial signals with 25µs max acquire+convert cycle |
| DC Accuracy | ±0.5 LSB max INL/DNL - ensures monotonicity and <0.012% full-scale linearity error in closed-loop control |
| Analog Input Range | ±10V - directly interfaces with industrial transducers, strain gauges, and bipolar op-amp outputs without level-shifting |
| Power Dissipation | 50mW active / 50µW power-down - enables thermally constrained embedded designs with low idle consumption |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - fully specified for harsh industrial environments including factory automation and motor drives |
| Reference | +2.5V internal (±0.25% initial accuracy, ±7ppm/°C drift) - eliminates external reference component count while maintaining stability |
Pinout & Package
ADS7824UB/1K is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, 217 mil width, with standard 0.050" lead pitch and gull-wing leads - compatible with automated SMT assembly and IPC-7351B footprint IPC-7351B SOIC28_217.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN3 | 4-channel analog inputs | Bipolar ±10V inputs with 45.7kΩ on/off impedance; internally multiplexed to SAR core |
| REF / CAP | Reference I/O and buffer output | REF outputs +2.5V nominal; CAP requires 2.2µF tantalum to AGND2 for stability |
| D0–D7, BYTE | Parallel data bus and byte select | D0–D7 tri-state outputs; BYTE toggles between MSB (LOW) and LSB (HIGH) bytes in parallel mode |
| SDATA / DATACLK / SYNC / TAG | Serial interface signals | SDATA outputs 12-bit two's complement MSB-first; DATACLK is input (EXT/INT=HIGH) or output (EXT/INT=LOW); SYNC pulses before data; TAG inputs serial tag bits synchronized to clock |
| CS / R/C / PAR/SER / CONTC / PWRD | Digital control inputs | CS+R/C initiate conversion; PAR/SER selects parallel/serial mode; CONTC enables auto-channel cycling; PWRD halts conversion and cuts power to 50µW |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-low open-drain output; falls at conversion start, rises when data is latched - used as read-strobe in parallel mode |
| VS1 / VS2 / AGND1 / AGND2 / DGND | Power and ground terminals | Dual analog supplies (VS1/VS2 tied) and separate analog/digital grounds minimize noise coupling in mixed-signal systems |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, 4-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7825UB/1K | 16-bit resolution, same pinout and interface, higher power (75mW), ±0.5 LSB INL at 16-bit | Used where higher resolution is critical (e.g., precision calibration equipment); not drop-in due to increased settling time and drive strength requirements | Select ADS7825UB/1K only if 16-bit resolution is mandatory and system timing budget allows longer acquisition |
| AD7894AR-10 | 14-bit, single-channel, ±10V input, SPI interface only, no internal reference, 30µs conversion | Suited for point-measurement systems; lacks multiplexer and parallel interface - requires external MUX and level-shifting for multi-channel use | Choose AD7894AR-10 for cost-sensitive, single-sensor applications where SPI simplifies MCU integration and board space is limited |
Compared with ADS7824UB/1K, ADS7825UB/1K offers higher resolution but demands more power and timing margin, while AD7894AR-10 reduces channel count and interface flexibility to achieve smaller footprint and lower cost - making ADS7824UB/1K the optimal balance of multi-channel capability, dual-interface support, and industrial-grade specifications.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS7824UB/1K?
The ADS7824UB/1K supports a maximum throughput rate of 40kHz, corresponding to a 25µs maximum complete cycle (acquisition + conversion). This is achievable with external clocking and proper timing margins; in continuous conversion mode, it cycles through all four channels at up to 10kHz per channel.
Does the ADS7824UB/1K require an external reference voltage?
No - the ADS7824UB/1K includes an internal +2.5V reference with ±0.25% initial accuracy and ±7ppm/°C drift. REF and CAP pins must be bypassed with a 2.2µF tantalum capacitor to AGND2. An external reference (2.3V–2.7V) may be used for improved stability, but is not required.
How does the continuous conversion mode (CONTC = HIGH) operate on the ADS7824UB/1K?
When CONTC is driven HIGH, the ADS7824UB/1K autonomously sequences conversions across AIN0 → AIN1 → AIN2 → AIN3 repeatedly, provided CS, R/C, and PWRD remain LOW. Channel address pins A0/A1 become outputs reflecting the active channel, and BUSY pulses indicate each conversion completion.
Can the ADS7824UB/1K interface directly with a microcontroller lacking a parallel bus?
Yes - the ADS7824UB/1K supports native serial output via SDATA, DATACLK, SYNC, and TAG pins. With PAR/SER = LOW and EXT/INT = HIGH, it accepts an external clock (up to 10MHz) and outputs 12-bit two's complement data MSB-first, enabling connection to SPI-capable MCUs or FPGAs with minimal GPIO usage.
What is the purpose of the TAG pin on the ADS7824UB/1K?
The TAG pin on the ADS7824UB/1K is a serial data input synchronized to the DATACLK signal (internal or external). Each rising/falling edge clocks one bit into the device; the first TAG bit appears on SDATA after 14 DATACLK edges - used for auxiliary metadata tagging, channel identification, or synchronization in multi-ADC systems.
