Product details
Overview
ADS7829IBDRBR from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 125 kSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with pseudo-differential rail-to-rail input, SPI-compatible serial interface, and micropower operation at 2.7 V. It features ±1.25 LSB integral linearity error, 72 dB SINAD at 1 kHz, and operates from 2.0 V to 5.25 V supply. It is used in battery-powered data acquisition systems requiring high resolution and low quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7829IBDRBR datasheet, ADS7829IBDRBR pinout, ADS7829IBDRBR application, or ADS7829IBDRBR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-bit resolution with guaranteed INL/DNL at 2.7 V, 8-pin SON package footprint, 125 kSPS throughput, micropower shutdown mode (3 µA), and rail-to-rail pseudo-differential input architecture.
Technical Context
The ADS7829IBDRBR implements a capacitive redistribution SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, fabricated in 0.6 µm CMOS. It acquires input voltage differentially between +In and –In pins, holds the sampled value on an internal capacitor array, and performs binary search conversion synchronized to an external DCLOCK signal.
Its serial interface outputs 12-bit straight-binary data MSB-first on DOUT, triggered by CS/SHDN falling edge and clocked on DCLOCK falling edges. The device enters auto power-down when CS/SHDN is high, disabling both analog and digital sections to achieve 3 µA max current draw.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes with monotonic transfer function and no missing codes. |
| Sample Rate | 125 kSPS at VCC ≥ 2.7 V - supports real-time acquisition of signals up to ~62.5 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| INL / DNL | ±1.25 / –1 to +1.25 LSB - ensures accurate amplitude representation and minimal code-width variation across full scale. |
| SINAD | 72 dB at 1 kHz, 2.5 Vpp - corresponds to ~11.7 effective number of bits (ENOB) for precision measurement applications. |
| Supply Range | 2.0 V to 5.25 V - enables direct interfacing with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic and mixed-voltage systems. |
| Power Down Current | 3 µA max - reduces system-level standby power in portable or energy-harvesting designs. |
| Reference Range | 50 mV to VCC - allows flexible scaling of input range using internal or external reference sources. |
Pinout & Package
ADS7829IBDRBR is housed in an 8-pin 3 × 3 mm PDSO (SON) package, same footprint as QFN, with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vref (Pin 1) | Reference voltage input | Sets full-scale analog input span; accepts 50 mV–VCC; requires local 0.1 µF bypass. |
| +In (Pin 2) | Noninverting analog input | Rail-to-rail input node; accepts –0.2 V to VCC + 0.2 V; sampled during tSAMPLE = 1.5 DCLOCK cycles. |
| –In (Pin 3) | Inverting analog input | Limited to –0.2 V to 1.0 V; used for remote ground sensing or common-mode rejection of small offsets. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog/digital ground | Single ground connection; requires low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling into SAR core. |
| CS/SHDN (Pin 5) | Chip select / shutdown control | Active-low conversion trigger; HIGH forces full power-down (3 µA), LOW initiates sampling and serial output. |
| DOUT (Pin 6) | Serial data output | CMOS output (0–VCC); outputs 12-bit MSB-first data after null bit; tri-states on CS rising edge. |
| DCLOCK (Pin 7) | External data clock input | Synchronizes conversion timing and serial output; falling edge clocks valid data; min 10 kHz, max 2 MHz. |
| +VCC (Pin 8) | Power supply | Supplies analog and digital sections; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling close to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 12-bit SAR with no missing codes | Guarantees monotonicity and predictable code transitions across full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). |
| Pseudo-differential rail-to-rail input | Supports single-ended or differential measurements without external op-amps; –In pin extends dynamic range via remote ground sensing. |
| SPI-compatible 3-wire serial interface | Eliminates need for parallel bus; reduces PCB routing complexity and I/O count on microcontrollers. |
| Micropower auto power-down | Draws <60 µW at 7.5 kHz sample rate (2.7 V), enabling multi-year battery life in remote sensor nodes. |
| Ultra-small 3 × 3 mm SON package | Enables high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained applications such as wearable medical devices and IoT edge sensors. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7829IDRBR | ±2 LSB INL vs. ±1.25 LSB for IB grade; otherwise identical specs and pinout. | Acceptable where 12-bit accuracy tolerance is relaxed (e.g., non-critical industrial monitoring). | Select ADS7829IDRBR for cost-sensitive designs where ±2 LSB INL meets system requirements. |
| ADS8325IBDBR | 16-bit, 100 kSPS, SPI interface, 2.7–5.5 V supply; higher resolution but lower speed and larger 10-pin VSSOP package. | Suitable for high-precision instrumentation (e.g., portable oscilloscopes) where resolution outweighs speed and size constraints. | Choose ADS8325IBDBR when ENOB >12 bits is required and 100 kSPS suffices; verify layout compatibility with larger footprint. |
Compared with ADS7829IDRBR, the ADS7829IBDRBR offers tighter INL for critical measurement accuracy; compared with ADS8325IBDBR, it trades resolution for smaller size, lower power, and higher throughput-making it optimal for compact, battery-powered multichannel systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum DCLOCK frequency supported by the ADS7829IBDRBR?
The ADS7829IBDRBR supports a maximum DCLOCK frequency of 2 MHz. This enables its full 125 kSPS throughput, as each conversion requires 16 DCLOCK cycles (tCYC). Operation above 2 MHz is not guaranteed and may result in incorrect sampling or data corruption. At lower sample rates, the device spends more time in power-down mode, reducing average current consumption.
Does the ADS7829IBDRBR require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS7829IBDRBR requires an external reference voltage applied to the Vref pin. It accepts any stable voltage from 50 mV to VCC, allowing flexible input range scaling. The reference must be bypassed with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed close to the Vref pin. Internal reference is not provided; accuracy and noise performance depend directly on the quality of the external reference source.
How does the pseudo-differential input architecture of the ADS7829IBDRBR work?
The ADS7829IBDRBR's pseudo-differential input uses +In and –In pins to measure the voltage difference between them, but –In is not fully differential-it is limited to –0.2 V to 1.0 V and is typically tied to remote ground or a stable bias point. This configuration rejects common-mode noise on long sensor leads while maintaining rail-to-rail input swing on +In. It avoids the need for external instrumentation amplifiers in many single-supply sensor interfaces.
What is the significance of the "IB" grade in ADS7829IBDRBR?
The "IB" grade in ADS7829IBDRBR denotes improved linearity performance: ±1.25 LSB integral nonlinearity (INL) and –1/+1.25 LSB differential nonlinearity (DNL) over –40°C to +85°C, versus ±2 LSB INL for the standard "I" grade (ADS7829IDRBR). This tighter specification ensures higher measurement accuracy in precision applications such as portable test equipment and calibrated sensor systems.
Can the ADS7829IBDRBR operate from a 2.0 V supply?
Yes, the ADS7829IBDRBR operates from 2.0 V to 5.25 V. However, at VCC < 2.7 V, maximum sample rate is reduced to 75 kSPS, and reference voltage must be limited to 1.024 V–1.25 V for assured specifications. Full 125 kSPS performance and guaranteed INL/DNL are only specified at VCC ≥ 2.7 V. System designers must validate timing and noise performance under 2.0 V operation using actual hardware.
