Product details
Overview
ADS7825UB from Burr-Brown (now Texas Instruments) is a 16-bit, 4-channel sampling analog-to-digital converter with ±10V input range, successive approximation architecture, and dual parallel/serial interface. It achieves 25 µs max complete conversion cycle, ±2.0 LSB max INL, and operates on single +5V supply - used in industrial data acquisition systems requiring high-resolution multiplexed sensing.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7825UB datasheet, ADS7825UB pinout, ADS7825UB application, or ADS7825UB equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOIC-28 package, continuous conversion mode, internal 2.5V reference, ±10V bipolar input capability, and support for both microprocessor parallel bus and serial SPI-like timing via SDATA/DATACLK.
Technical Context
The ADS7825UB integrates a 4-channel analog multiplexer, track-and-hold amplifier, 16-bit SAR ADC core, internal trimmed ±10V scaling resistors, and a 2.5V reference buffer. Its control logic supports three operational modes: single-shot (via CS/R/C), continuous cycling across AIN0–AIN3 (with CONTC = HIGH), and power-down (PWRD = HIGH).
Digital interface flexibility is implemented through PAR/SER-selectable output: parallel mode delivers 16-bit two's complement data in two 8-bit bytes (MSB/LSB selectable via BYTE), while serial mode outputs MSB-first on SDATA synchronized to either internal clock (DATACLK output, EXT/INT = LOW) or external clock (DATACLK input, EXT/INT = HIGH), with SYNC pulse and TAG input for handshaking.
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 bipolar - supports direct connection to industrial transducers without external signal conditioning |
| Throughput Rate | 40 kHz - enables real-time sampling of signals up to ~90 kHz Nyquist-limited bandwidth |

Pinout & Package
ADS7825UB is housed in a 28-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, 0.300" wide, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner when notch faces upward.
| 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 supports ±10V full-scale with 45.7 kΩ input impedance |
| 6, 7 | CAP, REF | Internal reference buffer output and reference I/O - requires 2.2 µF tantalum bypass to AGND2 for stability |
| 9–13, 15–17 | D7–D0 | Parallel data bus - bidirectional in serial mode (D4/D2/D0 act as control inputs); tri-state when PAR/SER = LOW |
| 18–19 | A1, A0 | Channel address outputs (CONTC = HIGH) or inputs (CONTC = LOW) - indicate or select active input channel |
| 20–26 | PAR/SER, BYTE, R/C, CS, BUSY, CONTC, PWRD | Mode and timing control - enable parallel/serial selection, byte addressing, conversion start, chip select, busy signaling, continuous mode, and power-down |
| 27–28 | VS2, VS1 | +5V supply pins - must be tied together and decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum to DGND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 4-channel ±10V multiplexer | Enables compact multi-sensor monitoring without external MUX or level-shifting circuitry |
| Parallel + serial interface | Reduces BOM count by supporting legacy 8-bit microcontrollers (parallel) and space-constrained designs (serial) |
| Continuous conversion mode | Automatically cycles through all four channels - simplifies firmware for periodic system-level diagnostics |
| Internal 2.5V reference | Eliminates external reference IC and associated layout sensitivity - improves long-term drift performance |
| 50 µW power-down state | Allows integration into battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems where idle current must be sub-100 µA |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit, 1-MSPS SAR, SPI-only interface, no internal reference, 16-pin TSSOP | Lacks multiplexer and internal reference - requires external REF and MUX for 4-channel use | Choose for higher speed and smaller footprint where external components are acceptable |
| AD7656ASTZ | 16-bit, 6-channel, simultaneous sampling, parallel/serial, ±10V range, 64-pin LQFP | Simultaneous sampling across all channels - superior for phase-critical measurements like motor control | Choose when inter-channel phase alignment is mandatory and PCB area permits larger package |
Compared with ADS8325IPW and AD7656ASTZ, the ADS7825UB uniquely combines integrated 4-channel MUX, internal ±10V scaling, and dual parallel/serial interface in a compact SOIC-28 - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial DAQ where sequential sampling suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS7825UB?
The ADS7825UB achieves a maximum throughput rate of 40 kHz, corresponding to a complete acquisition-and-conversion 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. At higher temperatures or with external reference, throughput may decrease slightly due to increased settling time.
Does the ADS7825UB require an external reference voltage?
No - the ADS7825UB includes an internal 2.5 V reference with ±0.25% initial accuracy and ±5 ppm/°C drift, sufficient for most industrial applications. However, if tighter reference stability or absolute accuracy is required, an external reference can be applied to the REF pin, provided it falls within 2.3 V to 2.7 V and is properly buffered.
How does the continuous conversion mode work on the ADS7825UB?
When CONTC = HIGH and CS/R/C/PWRD are all LOW, the ADS7825UB automatically sequences through AIN0 → AIN1 → AIN2 → AIN3 repeatedly. Channel address outputs A1/A0 reflect the currently sampled channel. The BUSY signal remains LOW during active conversion and pulses HIGH only between channel updates - enabling synchronous readout per channel.
Can the ADS7825UB interface directly with an 8-bit microcontroller?
Yes - the ADS7825UB supports parallel 8-bit data transfer via D0–D7 with BYTE-selectable MSB/LSB access and R/C/CS handshaking. Its TTL-compatible logic levels (VIH ≥ +2.4 V, VIL ≤ +0.8 V) and 50 mA sink/source capability ensure reliable interfacing with legacy 8-bit MCUs without level shifters or bus buffers.
What is the purpose of the TAG pin on the ADS7825UB?
The TAG pin (D0 in serial mode) serves as a serial data input synchronized to DATACLK edges. When enabled, each rising edge of DATACLK captures one bit from TAG and shifts it into an internal register. These bits appear on SDATA during subsequent clock cycles - enabling bidirectional communication such as command injection or status reporting alongside ADC data.
