Product details
Overview
ADS8324EB/2K5G4 from Texas Instruments is a 14-bit, 50kHz SAR analog-to-digital converter with bipolar differential input, 1.8V single-supply operation, ±2 LSB integral linearity error, and micro-power consumption (2.5mW at 1.8V). It features SPI/SSI-compatible serial interface and supports reference voltages from 500mV to VCC/2 - ideal for precision battery-powered data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8324EB/2K5G4 datasheet, ADS8324EB/2K5G4 pinout, ADS8324EB/2K5G4 application, or ADS8324EB/2K5G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 14-bit resolution at 50kHz with <1mW average power at 10kHz, MSOP-8 package compatibility, differential input architecture, and verified performance over –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The ADS8324EB/2K5G4 implements a capacitive redistribution SAR architecture fabricated in 0.6μm CMOS, enabling full 14-bit acquisition in 4.5 clock cycles and conversion in 16 clock cycles. Its analog front-end supports true bipolar differential input with common-mode range dependent on VREF, and internal sample-and-hold eliminates external hold circuitry.
Digital interface uses a synchronous 3-wire SPI/SSI protocol: CS/SHDN initiates conversion and controls shutdown, DCLOCK synchronizes bit transfer on falling edges, and DOUT outputs 16-bit two's complement data (MSB-first) with one null bit prefix. Power-down current is ≤3μA when CS = VCC.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ADS8324EB/2K5G4 is housed in an MSOP-8 (VSSOP-8, DGK) package - 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, thermally enhanced for compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF | Reference Input | Accepts external voltage (500 mV to 0.9 V) that defines full-scale differential input range (±VREF) |
| +In | Non-Inverting Analog Input | One leg of fully differential input pair; must be impedance-matched to –In to avoid gain/offset drift |
| –In | Inverting Analog Input | Second leg of differential pair; common-mode voltage range shifts with VREF per Figure 2/3 |
| GND | Analog Ground | Low-impedance return path for analog circuitry; requires dedicated analog ground plane separation |
| CS/SHDN | Chip Select / Shutdown Control | Active-low conversion trigger; HIGH forces full power-down (≤3 μA), LOW enables conversion cycle |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | CMOS-level output (0 to VCC); transmits 16-bit two's complement code MSB-first after fifth DCLOCK edge |
| DCLOCK | Data Clock Input | Asynchronous master clock (24 kHz–1.2 MHz); falling edge clocks data; duty cycle ≥200 ns high/low min |
| +VCC | Power Supply | Single 1.8 V supply; supports operation up to 3.6 V but specified performance only at 1.8 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar Differential Input | Supports ±VREF input range with rejection of common-mode noise up to 74 dB at DC - critical for isolated sensor interfaces |

| SPI/SSI-Compatible Interface | 3-wire serial protocol with no external components required; compatible with TI MSP430, STM32, and PIC MCU SPI peripherals |
| Pin Compatibility | Pin-for-pin compatible with 12-bit ADS7817 - enables resolution upgrade without PCB redesign |
| Low Reference Current | ≤80 μA max at 50 kHz; ≤0.8 μA at 10 kHz - reduces burden on reference buffers like OPA2350 or REF30xx |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Data Loggers | Isolated Industrial Sensors |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Continuous 24/7 environmental monitoring using coin-cell or Li-ion powered node with wireless telemetry. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary ADC digitizing thermistor, pressure, and humidity sensor outputs at 10–50 kHz with synchronized sleep/wake cycles.

| Multi-Channel Vibration Analyzers | Robotic Joint Torque Feedback |
|
Use Scenario: Simultaneous sampling of 4–8 accelerometer channels on rotating machinery for FFT-based fault detection. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One ADS8324EB/2K5G4 per channel, driven by shared DCLOCK and CS lines for deterministic inter-channel phase alignment. Use Value: 50 kHz throughput and 14-bit resolution capture harmonics up to 20 kHz; low noise (60 μVrms) preserves SNR in spectral analysis. |
Use Scenario: Real-time torque estimation in servo-driven robotic joints using strain gauge bridges with ratiometric excitation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADC interfacing directly to bridge amplifier output, providing closed-loop control feedback at 1–10 kHz update rates. Use Value: 1.8 V operation matches low-voltage op-amp rails (e.g., OPA2340); 110 μV LSB size resolves sub-0.1% torque changes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution, low-power SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8325EB/2K5 | 16-bit resolution, same 50 kHz rate, 3.3 V min supply, higher power (4.5 mW @ 3.3 V) | Requires higher supply voltage; better for applications needing extended dynamic range over precision at 1.8 V | Select ADS8325EB/2K5 only if 16-bit ENOB and >90 dB SNR are mandatory and 3.3 V rail is available. |
| ADS7816U/2K5 | 12-bit, 200 kHz, 2.7–5.25 V supply, ±3 LSB INL, no bipolar input - unipolar only | Lacks differential/bipolar capability; suited for high-speed unipolar sensor readout where resolution <14-bit is acceptable | Choose ADS7816U/2K5 for cost-sensitive, high-throughput unipolar applications where layout simplicity outweighs resolution needs. |
Compared with ADS8324EB/2K5, ADS8325EB/2K5 trades 1.8 V compatibility for 2 extra bits and higher SNR, while ADS7816U/2K5 sacrifices resolution and bipolar support for speed and wider supply range - making ADS8324EB/2K5 the optimal balance for 14-bit, battery-operated, differential-sensing systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the ADS8324EB/2K5G4, and under what conditions is it guaranteed?
The ADS8324EB/2K5G4 achieves a guaranteed maximum sampling rate of 50 kHz when operated at +VCC = 1.8 V, VREF = 0.9 V, fCLK = 1.2 MHz (24 × fSAMPLE), and ambient temperature between –40°C and +85°C. This rate is validated per SBAS172A electrical characteristics table and confirmed in typical performance curves. Exceeding 50 kHz results in non-monotonic behavior or missing codes.
Does the ADS8324EB/2K5G4 support true bipolar input, and how is the input range configured?
Yes, the ADS8324EB/2K5G4 supports true bipolar differential input with a full-scale range of ±VREF. The input span is defined as (+In) – (–In), and valid common-mode ranges depend on VREF (e.g., ±0.1 V around VREF for differential mode). When VREF = 0.9 V, the device accepts inputs from –0.9 V to +0.9 V differentially - confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table and Theory of Operation section.
What is the power-down current specification for the ADS8324EB/2K5G4, and how is it activated?
The ADS8324EB/2K5G4 draws ≤3 μA in power-down mode when CS/SHDN is driven HIGH (to VCC). This state disables both analog and digital sections completely. Quiescent current is 1.4–1.7 mA during active conversion at 1.8 V. Power-down current is measured per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables in SBAS172A, with typical shutdown current at 50 nA shown in Figure 9.
Is the ADS8324EB/2K5G4 pin-compatible with any other Texas Instruments ADCs, and what does that enable?
Yes, the ADS8324EB/2K5G4 is pin-compatible with the 12-bit ADS7817 in the same MSOP-8 package. This allows direct resolution upgrade in existing designs without PCB modification - preserving layout, routing, and BOM structure while gaining 2 additional bits of precision and improved INL (±2 LSB vs ±3 LSB).
What reference voltage range is supported by the ADS8324EB/2K5G4, and why is VREF limited to VCC/2?
The ADS8324EB/2K5G4 supports VREF from 500 mV to VCC/2 (0.9 V max at 1.8 V supply). This limit ensures the internal capacitor array operates within safe voltage margins during charge redistribution, preventing distortion or code errors. Lower VREF reduces LSB size (e.g., 110 μV at 0.9 V) but increases sensitivity to reference noise - specified in Reference Input section and Figure 3 of SBAS172A.
