Product details
Overview
ADS7945SRTER from Texas Instruments is a 14-bit, 2 MSPS dual-channel successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with differential input architecture, 84 dB SNR, ±1.5 LSB INL (max), and 11.6 mW power consumption at full speed. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.25 V AVDD and interfaces via SPI-compatible serial interface, enabling high-precision data acquisition in optical networking and medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7945SRTER datasheet, ADS7945SRTER pinout, ADS7945SRTER application, or ADS7945SRTER equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, QFN-16 pin mapping, differential-input system integration guidance, and validated alternative options for industrial-grade signal chain design.
Technical Context
The ADS7945SRTER implements a true differential input multiplexer feeding a low-power SAR ADC with inherent sample-and-hold functionality. Its 16-clock SPI frame supports deterministic 2 MSPS throughput with 10 ns aperture jitter and 80 ns acquisition time.
It features independent channel selection via CH SEL pin, hardware power-down control via PDEN, and reference decoupling through dedicated REFGND-enabling stable performance across –40°C to +125°C without external buffering or calibration.

Pinout & Package
ADS7945SRTER is housed in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-pin QFN package (RTE) with wettable flanks, rated for –40°C to +125°C operation and optimized for low-inductance analog grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Analog/digital ground reference | Single-point return for all analog and digital signals; must connect to low-impedance ground plane |
| AVDD (Pin 2) | Analog power supply | Supplies SAR core and input mux; requires local 100 nF + 10 µF decoupling |
| REF (Pin 3) | Positive reference input | Accepts 2.5 V to AVDD external reference; defines full-scale differential span |
| REFGND (Pin 4) | Reference return | Must be shorted to analog ground; isolates reference path from noisy digital returns |
| AIN0P / AIN0N (Pins 5/6) | Differential input channel 0 | True differential pair accepting ±VREF span; rejects common-mode noise up to 60 dB PSRR |
| AIN1N / AIN1P (Pins 7/8) | Differential input channel 1 | Second independent differential input; shares same reference and timing resources |
| CH SEL (Pin 11) | Channel select control | Static logic input selecting AIN0 or AIN1 before conversion; no latency penalty |
| PDEN (Pin 12) | Power-down enable | Active-high signal entering 2.5 µA static mode within 1 µs; eliminates idle current |
| CS (Pin 13) | Chip select | Active-low SPI frame initiator; triggers conversion on falling edge |
| SCLK (Pin 14) | SPI clock input | Accepts up to 40 MHz clock; defines 16-cycle frame timing for deterministic latency |
| SDO (Pin 15) | SPI data output | MSB-first, 16-bit serial output; tri-stated when CS is high |
| DVDD (Pin 16) | Digital I/O supply | Independent rail for SDO/CS/SCLK logic; decoupled separately from AVDD |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the ADS7945SRTER?
The ADS7945SRTER supports a maximum sample rate of 2 MSPS, achieved using a 40 MHz SCLK with a fixed 16-clock SPI frame. This throughput is fully specified over the –40°C to +125°C temperature range and maintains 84 dB SNR and ±1.5 LSB INL at full speed. The conversion time is precisely 16 SCLK cycles, enabling deterministic timing for real-time control loops.
Does the ADS7945SRTER require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS7945SRTER requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin, with valid range from 2.5 V to AVDD. The device does not include an internal reference. REFGND must be externally shorted to the analog ground plane to ensure reference stability and minimize noise coupling into the ADC core. Reference decoupling with 100 nF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum is recommended.
How does the CH SEL pin function in the ADS7945SRTER?
The CH SEL pin on the ADS7945SRTER selects between differential input channels: logic low selects AIN0P/AIN0N, logic high selects AIN1P/AIN1N. Channel switching must occur within a defined window-half a clock cycle after the CS falling edge-to guarantee proper multiplexer settling before sampling begins. This hardware-controlled selection avoids software-induced latency and ensures deterministic channel assignment per conversion frame.
What is the power consumption of the ADS7945SRTER at 100 kSPS?
At 100 kSPS, the ADS7945SRTER consumes 1.4 mW total power (11.6 mW at 2 MSPS scaled per throughput). This reduction is enabled by automatic power-down during inter-conversion periods when SCLK is inactive. The AVDD supply current drops to approximately 420 µA at 3.3 V, while DVDD current scales with SDO toggle rate-ensuring minimal energy use in duty-cycled sensing applications.
Is the ADS7945SRTER pin-compatible with other devices in the ADS794x family?
No, the ADS7945SRTER is not pin-compatible with ADS7946SRTER despite sharing the same QFN-16 (RTE) package and pinout numbering. While both devices share identical mechanical footprint and power/control pins, their analog input pin assignments differ: ADS7945 uses AIN0P/AIN0N/AIN1N/AIN1P (differential), whereas ADS7946 uses AIN0/AIN0GND/AIN1GND/AIN1 (single-ended). PCB layout must match the specific variant's signal routing.
