Product details
Overview
ADS7825PB from Burr-Brown (now Texas Instruments) is a 16-bit, 4-channel successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with ±10V input range, 25µs max complete cycle time, and dual parallel/serial output interface. It integrates internal +2.5V reference, sample-and-hold, multiplexer, and continuous conversion mode - used in industrial data acquisition systems requiring high-resolution multichannel sampling under single +5V supply.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7825PB datasheet, ADS7825PB pinout, ADS7825PB application, or ADS7825PB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 28-pin plastic DIP package, ±2 LSB INL (typ), 86 dB SINAD at 1 kHz, and support for both microprocessor parallel bus and serial SPI-like timing without external clock dependency.
Technical Context
The ADS7825PB implements a capacitor-based successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with laser-trimmed scaling resistors to achieve ±0.1% channel-to-channel matching across its four ±10V analog inputs. Its internal 2.5V reference is buffered via CAP pin and requires a 2.2µF tantalum capacitor to AGND2 for stability.
It supports three operational modes: single-shot (via CS/R/C), continuous conversion (CONTC = HIGH), and power-down (PWRD = HIGH). Data output is configurable as 16-bit parallel (two 8-bit bytes via BYTE control) or serial MSB-first (SDATA/DATACLK), with BUSY used for handshaking and latching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 305 µV LSB step size over ±10V full-scale range |
| Input Range | ±10V - compatible with industrial sensor outputs without external signal conditioning |
| Throughput Rate | 40 kHz - enables real-time sampling of signals up to ~90 kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| INL Error | ±2 LSB (typ) - ensures monotonicity and <0.003% linearity error for precision measurement |
| Power Dissipation | 50 mW (active), 50 µW (power-down) - suitable for thermally constrained embedded systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial environments |

Pinout & Package
ADS7825PB is housed in a 28-pin 0.3" wide plastic DIP (dual in-line package), RoHS-compliant and rated for industrial temperature operation. Pin spacing is 0.1" (2.54 mm), with through-hole mounting and standard DIP footprint compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8, 14 | AGND1, AGND2, DGND | Separate analog/digital ground pins - require star grounding to minimize noise coupling between domains |
| 2–5 | AIN0–AIN3 | Four differential-capable analog inputs - each accepts ±10V, 45.7 kΩ input impedance, 35 pF capacitance |
| 6, 7 | CAP, REF | Internal reference buffer output and reference I/O - REF must be bypassed with 2.2 µF tantalum to AGND2 |
| 9–13, 15–17 | D7–D0 | Parallel data bus - tri-state capable; D4/D2/D1/D0 serve dual roles in serial mode (clock/data/control) |
| 18–19 | A1, A0 | Channel address outputs (in continuous mode) or inputs (in single-shot) - indicate active input channel |
| 20–26 | PAR/SER, BYTE, R/C, CS, BUSY, CONTC, PWRD | Mode and control interface - enable parallel/serial selection, byte read, conversion trigger, chip select, status, sequencing, and sleep |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated +2.5V Reference | 2.48–2.52 V (±0.25%) with ±5 ppm/°C drift - eliminates need for external precision reference in most applications |
| Continuous Conversion Mode | Automatically cycles through all four channels with no software overhead - ideal for cyclic data logging |
| Parallel + Serial Interface | Single device supports 8-bit microcontroller parallel bus or low-pin-count serial (SPI-compatible timing) - reduces system BOM and layout complexity |
| Low Power Down Current | 50 µW - enables battery-backed operation or periodic wake-up sampling in energy-constrained systems |
| Channel Crosstalk | ≥100 dB (adjacent), ≥120 dB (non-adjacent) - preserves signal integrity in mixed-signal monitoring of multiple sensors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7825U | Same core specs, but in SOIC-28 package (smaller footprint, higher thermal resistance) | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; less robust for manual prototyping or high-vibration environments | Select ADS7825U when board area is critical and reflow assembly is available. |
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit, 100 kSPS, SPI-only interface, no internal reference, 16-pin TSSOP | Lacks multiplexer and internal reference - requires external components for 4-channel ±10V operation | Choose ADS8325IPW only if higher speed and smaller package outweigh added BOM and design effort. |
Compared with ADS7825U and ADS8325IPW, the ADS7825PB uniquely combines 4-channel multiplexing, internal ±10V-range reference, parallel/serial flexibility, and DIP packaging - making it optimal for industrial prototyping, legacy system upgrades, and applications where analog integration reduces component count and layout risk.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS7825PB?
The ADS7825PB achieves a maximum throughput rate of 40 kHz, corresponding to a complete acquire-and-convert cycle of 25 µs. This is measured under specified conditions: TA = –40°C to +85°C, fS = 40 kHz, VS = +5 V ±5%, and using the internal reference. In continuous conversion mode, it sequences through all four channels at this rate, delivering one 16-bit sample per channel every 100 µs.
Does the ADS7825PB require an external reference voltage?
No - the ADS7825PB includes a laser-trimmed internal +2.5 V reference with ±0.25% initial accuracy and ±5 ppm/°C drift. The REF pin outputs this voltage and must be bypassed to AGND2 with a 2.2 µF tantalum capacitor. An external reference can be applied to REF, but the internal reference is fully functional and eliminates external component requirements for most applications.
How does the ADS7825PB handle channel selection in continuous conversion mode?
In continuous conversion mode (CONTC = HIGH), the ADS7825PB automatically cycles through AIN0 → AIN1 → AIN2 → AIN3 repeatedly. Channel address pins A1/A0 become outputs reflecting the currently sampled channel (00–11 binary). No software polling or external addressing is needed - the device self-sequences, and BUSY pulses indicate completion of each channel's conversion.
Can the ADS7825PB interface directly with an 8-bit microcontroller?
Yes - the ADS7825PB supports 8-bit parallel data transfer via two consecutive 8-bit reads (MSB first, controlled by BYTE pin), making it compatible with 8-bit MCUs such as the 8051 or PIC18. Its TTL/CMOS-compatible digital I/O levels (VIH ≥ +2.4 V, VIL ≤ +0.8 V) and 50 mA absolute max current rating ensure safe interfacing without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the purpose of the TAG pin on the ADS7825PB?
The TAG pin (D0 in serial mode) serves as a serial data input synchronized to DATACLK. When enabled, it allows the host controller to send 1-bit-per-clock control or status information back to the ADS7825PB during serial data transmission - for example, to flag alarm conditions or configure auxiliary functions. Its value appears on SDATA after 17–19 clock edges, enabling bidirectional serial communication without additional pins.
