Product details
Overview
ADS7953SBDBTR from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 16-channel, single-ended SAR analog-to-digital converter with 1-MSPS sample rate, zero-latency operation, and 20-MHz SPI-compatible serial interface. It features two software-selectable unipolar input ranges (0 to VREF and 0 to 2×VREF), four programmable GPIOs, and dual per-channel alarm thresholds. It is used in high-speed PLC analog input modules requiring precise multi-channel voltage monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7953SBDBTR datasheet, ADS7953SBDBTR pinout, ADS7953SBDBTR application, or ADS7953SBDBTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-channel count, TSSOP-30 package footprint, 12-bit resolution at 1 MSPS, GPIO configurability for alarm signaling, and compatibility with REF5025 reference voltage sources.
Technical Context
The ADS7953SBDBTR implements a capacitor-based SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, enabling true zero-latency conversion. Its serial interface uses active-low CS for sampling initiation and SCLK for synchronous data transfer, supporting both auto-sequenced and manual channel selection modes.
It supports dual input ranges via the GPIO2 (Range) pin and delivers two independently programmable alarm thresholds per channel. The device operates across 2.7–5.25 V analog supply and 1.7–5.25 V I/O supply, enabling direct interfacing with 3.3-V and 5-V microcontrollers without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - Delivers 4096 discrete output codes for high-fidelity voltage digitization in industrial sensing. |
| Sample Rate | 1 MSPS - Enables real-time capture of fast transients in closed-loop control and power supply monitoring. |
| Input Channels | 16 single-ended - Supports dense analog input aggregation in compact PLC/IPC front-ends without external multiplexers. |
| Analog Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.25 V - Allows operation from standard 3.3-V or 5-V rails and battery-backed supplies. |
| I/O Supply Range | 1.7 V to 5.25 V - Ensures glueless SPI connectivity to low-voltage MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+) and legacy 5-V controllers. |
| Input Ranges | 0 to VREF or 0 to 2×VREF - Configurable via GPIO2 to match sensor output spans without external gain stages. |
| Power Dissipation | 14.5 mW at 5 V analog / 3 V I/O supply and 1 MSPS - Optimized for thermally constrained industrial enclosures. |
| Alarm Functionality | Two per-channel thresholds - Enables autonomous over/under-voltage detection without host CPU intervention. |
Pinout & Package
ADS7953SBDBTR is packaged in a 30-pin TSSOP (DBT) with 7.80 mm × 4.40 mm body size and exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per TI SLAS605C Rev C (July 2018).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Ch0–Ch15 | Analog input | 16 single-ended analog input channels; Ch0–Ch3 assigned to pins 28–25 in DBT package. |
| AINP / AINM | Differential analog input | High-impedance inputs for buffered or unbuffered differential signal acquisition (e.g., THS4031 PGA output). |
| MXO | Analog output | Multiplexer output node - provides access to selected channel's analog signal pre-conversion. |
| REFP / REFM | Reference input | Accepts external precision reference (e.g., REF5025); REFP = 2.5 V ± 0.1 V typical. |
| CS / SCLK / SDI / SDO | Digital interface | SPI-compatible 4-wire serial interface; CS active-low initiates sampling on falling edge. |
| GPIO0–GPIO3 | Programmable I/O | Four bidirectional pins: GPIO2 selects input range; GPIO0/GPIO1 serve as alarm outputs; GPIO3 enables power-down. |
| +VA / AGND | Analog supply | +VA powers analog core (pins 5, 29); AGND (pins 6, 10, 19, 20, 30) must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| +VBD / BDGND | Digital I/O supply | +VBD (pin 36) powers digital interface; BDGND (pin 35) separates digital return path from analog ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-latency conversion | Eliminates pipeline delay - critical for real-time feedback in high-speed closed-loop systems like servo drives. |
| Auto/manual channel sequencing | Reduces host firmware overhead: auto-mode cycles through preconfigured channels; manual mode allows on-demand selection. |
| Per-channel alarm thresholds | Two independent thresholds per channel enable localized fault detection (e.g., overvoltage on motor phase A, undervoltage on B). |
| Wide supply flexibility | Separate +VA (2.7–5.25 V) and +VBD (1.7–5.25 V) rails simplify mixed-voltage system integration and reduce BOM count. |
| Low power-down current | 1 µA shutdown current extends battery life in portable test equipment and remote sensor nodes. |
| High input bandwidth | 47 MHz (3 dB) analog input bandwidth preserves signal integrity for fast-rising transients in power electronics monitoring. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7952SBDBT | 12-bit, 12-channel variant in same 30-pin TSSOP package; identical timing, GPIO count, and alarm architecture. | Reduced channel count suits systems with ≤12 analog inputs; no change to PCB layout or firmware driver. | Select when 12 channels suffice-lower cost and identical integration effort. |
| ADS8688IPWR | 16-bit, 8-channel SAR ADC with integrated PGA and reference; 500 kSPS max; 28-pin TSSOP package. | Higher resolution but fewer channels and lower speed; includes internal 4.096-V reference and programmable gain (±10.24 V full-scale). | Choose for precision measurement where resolution > speed, and PGA simplifies front-end design. |
Compared with ADS7952SBDBT, ADS7953SBDBTR adds four more analog inputs while retaining pin compatibility and alarm/GPIO functionality; versus ADS8688IPWR, it trades resolution and integrated PGA for higher speed, greater channel density, and external reference flexibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate of the ADS7953SBDBTR?
The ADS7953SBDBTR achieves a maximum sample rate of 1 million samples per second (1 MSPS) under recommended operating conditions. This rate is sustained across all 16 channels in auto-sequencing mode and is enabled by its 20-MHz SPI-compatible serial interface clock (SCLK). Performance remains stable across the full analog supply range of 2.7 V to 5.25 V.
Does the ADS7953SBDBTR require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS7953SBDBTR requires an external precision reference applied to the REFP and REFM pins. It is commonly paired with the REF5025 (2.5-V reference), which meets the device's specification of VREF = 2.5 V ± 0.1 V. The device supports two input ranges: 0 to VREF and 0 to 2×VREF, selected via GPIO2.
How many GPIOs does the ADS7953SBDBTR provide, and what are their functions?
The ADS7953SBDBTR provides four programmable GPIOs (GPIO0–GPIO3) in its 30-pin TSSOP package. GPIO2 configures input range (0 to VREF or 0 to 2×VREF); GPIO0 and GPIO1 serve as active-high alarm outputs; GPIO3 is an active-low power-down input. All GPIOs are individually configurable via internal registers.
Is the ADS7953SBDBTR pin-compatible with other devices in the ADS79xx family?
Yes, the ADS7953SBDBTR is pin-compatible with other 16-channel variants in the ADS79xx family-including ADS7957 (10-bit) and ADS7961 (8-bit)-all offered in the same 30-pin TSSOP (DBT) package. This allows resolution scalability without PCB redesign, provided firmware accommodates differing output code widths.
What is the power consumption of the ADS7953SBDBTR during active operation?
The ADS7953SBDBTR consumes 14.5 mW typical power at 1 MSPS when operated with +VA = 5 V and +VBD = 3 V. In power-down mode (activated via GPIO3), quiescent current drops to 1 µA. This low active and standby power supports energy-efficient designs in isolated or battery-powered industrial instrumentation.
