Product details
Overview
ADS7841ES/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 4-channel SAR analog-to-digital converter with synchronous serial interface, ±1 LSB INL/DNL, 200 kHz max throughput at +5V, and operation over –40°C to +125°C in SSOP-16 package. It supports single-ended or differential inputs, programmable 8-/12-bit resolution, and shutdown mode consuming <15 µW.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7841ES/2K5 datasheet, ADS7841ES/2K5 pinout, ADS7841ES/2K5 application, or ADS7841ES/2K5 equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed 125°C operation, 4-channel multiplexer integration, 72 dB SINAD at 10 kHz, low-power serial interface timing, and compatibility with 2.7–5 V supplies and external reference scaling from 100 mV to VCC.
Technical Context
The ADS7841ES/2K5 implements a capacitive redistribution SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, requiring no external hold capacitor. Its four-channel analog multiplexer accepts either single-ended inputs referenced to COM or true differential pairs across CH0–CH3, selected via A2–A0 and SGL/DIF bits in the 8-bit control byte.
Digital interface operates synchronously with DCLK, supporting three timing modes: 24-clock (standard), 16-clock (overlapped control), and 15-clock (FPGA/ASIC-optimized) conversions. MODE pin hardwires 12-bit operation for the ADS7841ES grade, eliminating resolution ambiguity during high-reliability operation at extended temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR with no missing codes; enables precise measurement of small signal changes down to 1.22 mV LSB (at VREF = 5 V). |
| Throughput Rate | Up to 200 kHz at +5 V; supports real-time sampling of fast transients in industrial monitoring and battery-powered data loggers. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB max (typical); ensures monotonicity and accurate end-point linearity critical for closed-loop control feedback. |
| SINAD | 72 dB at 10 kHz input; delivers >11.6 ENOB for high-fidelity acquisition in test equipment and sensor interfaces. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.25 V; allows direct interfacing with Li-ion batteries (3.0–4.2 V) and 3.3 V/5 V logic without level-shifting. |
| Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C (ES grade only); qualified for under-hood automotive, motor drive, and industrial edge sensing applications. |
| Power (Active) | 2 mW at 200 kHz / +5 V; enables multi-second battery life in portable PDAs and handheld meters with intermittent sampling. |
| Power (Shutdown) | <15 µW; reduces quiescent current by >99% during idle periods, preserving energy in always-on remote sensors. |
Pinout & Package
ADS7841ES/2K5 is housed in a 16-pin SSOP (DBQ) package with 0.65 mm pitch, 5.0 mm × 6.2 mm body size, and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is located at top-left corner with dot marking; pin numbering proceeds counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VCC (Pins 1, 9) | Primary power supply | Dual power pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR; accepts 2.7–5.25 V with internal regulation for analog/digital sections. |
| CH0–CH3 (Pins 2–5) | Analog input channels | Four independent single-ended or configurable differential inputs; each has 25 pF capacitance and ±200 nA leakage at +25°C. |
| COM (Pin 6) | Analog ground reference | Sets zero-code voltage in single-ended mode; must be tied to system AGND or bias point-floating connection invalidates calibration. |
| SHDN (Pin 7) | Hardware shutdown control | Active-low input; pulls supply current to <15 µW when driven LOW, with full wake-up in <1 µs after rising edge on CS. |
| VREF (Pin 8) | External reference input | Unbuffered CDAC driver; accepts 100 mV–VCC; draws 13 µA typical at 2.5 V/125 kHz, scaling linearly with fSAMPLE and VREF. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Digital/analog common ground | Single ground pin requires star-point layout; separation from COM minimizes digital noise coupling into analog path. |
| MODE (Pin 11) | Resolution select override | Hardwired LOW on ADS7841ES to force 12-bit conversion regardless of control byte MODE bit-ensures deterministic resolution. |
| DOUT (Pin 12) | Serial data output | Three-state CMOS output enabled only when CS = LOW; data valid on DCLK falling edge, MSB-first straight binary format. |
| BUSY (Pin 13) | Conversion status indicator | Open-drain compatible; goes HIGH at start of conversion and LOW upon completion-enables interrupt-driven firmware polling. |
| DIN (Pin 14) | Serial command input | Latches control byte on DCLK rising edge; accepts 8-bit command (S-A2-A1-A0-MODE-SGL/DIF-PD1-PD0) to configure channel, mode, and power state. |
| CS (Pin 15) | Chip select / conversion trigger | Edge-sensitive enable; falling edge initiates acquisition; rising edge disables DOUT/BUSY and resets internal state machine. |
| DCLK (Pin 16) | Master clock input | Drives SAR logic and serial I/O; supports up to 3.2 MHz (200 kHz × 16) for full-speed operation; tolerant to 5.5 V regardless of +VCC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 4-channel multiplexer | Reduces external component count and PCB area vs discrete mux + ADC solutions; eliminates inter-channel crosstalk beyond 120 dB at 50 kHz. |
| Programmable 8-/12-bit resolution | Enables dynamic trade-off between speed and precision-8-bit mode achieves 2× higher throughput with 25% fewer clocks per conversion. |
| Flexible reference input (100 mV to VCC) | Permits direct use of low-noise bandgap references or scaled system rails; LSB scales as VREF/4096, enabling sub-millivolt resolution at low VREF. |
| Three power management modes | Full-power (2 mW), auto power-down (3 µA between conversions), and hardware shutdown (<15 µW)-supports adaptive energy budgeting in IoT endpoints. |
| CMOS-compatible serial interface | Eliminates need for level shifters with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers; DCLK and DIN tolerate 5.5 V, simplifying mixed-voltage system design. |
| Guaranteed operation to +125°C | Validated performance across full industrial temperature range-no derating required for engine control units, inverters, or downhole tools. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1247ACPP+ | 12-bit, 4-channel, SPI-compatible, –40°C to +85°C; lacks SHDN pin and 125°C qualification. | Not suitable for under-hood or high-temp industrial environments; requires external shutdown control logic. | Select MAX1247ACPP+ only for cost-sensitive commercial-grade systems where extended temperature is not required. |
| ADS7841EB/2K5 | Same pinout and functionality as ADS7841ES/2K5 but rated –40°C to +85°C with ±1 LSB INL (tighter than ES grade's ±2 LSB). | Preferred for lab equipment or consumer devices needing highest linearity at room temperature; not rated for 125°C operation. | Choose ADS7841EB/2K5 when ±1 LSB INL is mandatory and ambient stays below 85°C; otherwise ADS7841ES/2K5 provides broader thermal margin. |
Compared with MAX1247ACPP+, ADS7841ES/2K5 adds guaranteed 125°C operation and dedicated SHDN pin for ultra-low-power sleep states; compared with ADS7841EB/2K5, it trades ±1 LSB INL for extended temperature range-making it optimal for harsh-environment embedded control where reliability outweighs marginal linearity gain.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature specification for ADS7841ES/2K5?
The ADS7841ES/2K5 is fully specified and tested from –40°C to +125°C. This extended temperature range is exclusive to the ES grade and distinguishes it from E, EB, P, and PB variants rated only to +85°C. Operation at +125°C is guaranteed for all electrical parameters including INL, DNL, throughput, and power consumption as documented in the SBAS084B datasheet.
Does ADS7841ES/2K5 support true differential input mode?
Yes, ADS7841ES/2K5 supports true differential input mode using any two of its four analog input channels (e.g., CH0 and CH1) as +IN and –IN, with configuration controlled by the SGL/DIF bit and A2–A0 channel select bits in the serial control byte. In this mode, the device measures the voltage difference between the selected pair while rejecting common-mode signals up to 1.25 V on the –IN pin.
How does the MODE pin affect resolution setting on ADS7841ES/2K5?
On ADS7841ES/2K5, the MODE pin is internally hardwired LOW to enforce fixed 12-bit conversion regardless of the MODE bit in the control byte. This eliminates resolution ambiguity and ensures deterministic behavior in safety-critical or high-reliability applications where firmware errors or noise-induced bit flips could otherwise cause unintended 8-bit operation.
What reference voltage range is supported by ADS7841ES/2K5?
ADS7841ES/2K5 accepts an external reference voltage (VREF) from 100 mV to +VCC (2.7–5.25 V). The LSB size scales linearly as VREF/4096-e.g., 24 µV at 100 mV or 1.22 mV at 5 V. Lower VREF increases sensitivity to noise and layout parasitics, requiring clean bypassing and low-impedance reference sources for stable operation.
Is ADS7841ES/2K5 pin-compatible with other grades in the ADS7841 family?
Yes, ADS7841ES/2K5 shares identical pinout and footprint with all ADS7841 variants-including ADS7841E/2K5, ADS7841EB/2K5, ADS7841P, and ADS7841PB-in both SSOP-16 (DBQ) and DIP-16 (N) packages. This allows drop-in replacement across temperature and accuracy grades without PCB redesign, provided system-level requirements (e.g., 125°C operation, ±1 LSB INL) are verified.
