Product details
Overview
ADS7957SRHBR 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 serial interface. It features two software-selectable unipolar input ranges (0 to VREF and 0 to 2×VREF), programmable per-channel high/low alarm thresholds, and operates from 2.7–5.25 V analog supply. It is used in PLC analog input modules for real-time sensor monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the ADS7957SRHBR datasheet, ADS7957SRHBR pinout, ADS7957SRHBR application, or ADS7957SRHBR equivalent, key selection considerations include channel count (16), resolution (12-bit), serial timing compliance (20-MHz SCLK), alarm threshold configurability, and VQFN-32 package compatibility with isolated industrial signal chains.
Technical Context
The ADS7957SRHBR implements a capacitor-based SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, enabling true zero-latency conversion-critical for closed-loop control. Its multiplexer output (MXO) supports external high-impedance PGA buffering (e.g., THS4031), and its dual-range input scaling (0–VREF / 0–2×VREF) is controlled via GPIO2 (Range pin).
It supports both auto-sequencing across preselected channels and manual channel selection via SDI commands. The device uses falling-edge CS to initiate sampling and SCLK-synchronized serial data transfer (SDO/SDI), with CS active-low assertion defining frame boundaries for reliable microprocessor/DSP interfacing.
Key Specifications

| Power Dissipation | 14.5 mW at 1 MSPS (+VA = 5 V, +VBD = 3 V) - enables thermally constrained embedded designs |
| Alarm Thresholds | Two per channel (high/low) - provides autonomous over/under-limit detection without host polling |
Pinout & Package

| CS / SCLK / SDI / SDO | Digital interface | Standard 4-wire SPI-compatible interface; CS active-low initiates conversion, SCLK clocks all serial transfers |
| GPIO0 | Digital I/O | Configurable as alarm output (active-high) - asserts when any channel exceeds programmed thresholds |
| +VA / AGND / +VBD / BDGND | Power & ground | Separate analog/digital supplies reduce noise coupling; +VA powers core ADC, +VBD powers digital I/O (1.7–5.25 V) |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7953SRHBR | 12-bit, 16-channel, identical pinout and interface - differs only in default GPIO configuration and minor timing spec tolerances | No functional difference in PLC or power monitoring; same alarm and range features | Select ADS7953SRHBR if legacy design validation used that variant; ADS7957SRHBR offers identical performance with updated production mask |
| AD7949BCPZ-RL7 | 14-bit, 8-channel, SPI interface, 1-MSPS - higher resolution but half the channel count; requires PCB redesign due to LFCSP-32 package and different pin mapping | Suitable for higher-accuracy, lower-channel-count applications (e.g., test equipment), not drop-in replacement | Choose AD7949BCPZ-RL7 only when 14-bit resolution is mandatory and channel consolidation is handled externally |
Compared with ADS7953SRHBR, ADS7957SRHBR provides identical functionality with updated characterization; versus AD7949BCPZ-RL7, it trades resolution for channel density and maintains pin compatibility within TI's ADS79xx family-enabling seamless migration in existing VQFN-32 layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported SCLK frequency for ADS7957SRHBR?
The ADS7957SRHBR supports up to 20 MHz SCLK frequency, enabling serial data transfer at ≤100 ns per bit. This timing is validated across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and ensures reliable communication with microcontrollers and DSPs without setup/hold violations. The ADS7957SRHBR datasheet specifies tCH and tCL minimums of 25 ns each at 20 MHz.
Does ADS7957SRHBR require an external reference voltage?
Yes, ADS7957SRHBR requires an external precision reference applied to REFP and REFM pins. It is typically paired with REF5025 (2.5 V ±0.1 V), supporting both 0–VREF and 0–2×VREF input ranges. The device does not include an internal reference; omitting an external reference will result in undefined conversion results.
How many GPIOs are available on ADS7957SRHBR in the RHB (VQFN-32) package?
The ADS7957SRHBR in the RHB package provides one configurable GPIO: GPIO0, which can be set as an active-high alarm output. Unlike TSSOP variants, the VQFN-32 version does not include GPIO1–GPIO3; this is confirmed in TI SLAS605C Rev C, Pin Functions table for VQFN packages.
What is the purpose of the MXO pin on ADS7957SRHBR?
The MXO (Multiplexer Output) pin on ADS7957SRHBR provides the buffered analog signal selected by the internal channel multiplexer, prior to the ADC core. It is intended for connection to an external high-input-impedance PGA (e.g., THS4031) to condition weak or high-impedance sensor signals before digitization-preserving signal integrity without loading the multiplexer output.
Can ADS7957SRHBR operate with separate analog and digital supply voltages?
Yes, ADS7957SRHBR supports independent analog (+VA) and digital I/O (+VBD) supplies: +VA ranges from 2.7 V to 5.25 V for the ADC core, while +VBD ranges from 1.7 V to 5.25 V for digital interface logic. This separation minimizes digital switching noise coupling into the analog path and enables glueless interfacing with mixed-voltage host systems.
