Product details
Overview
ADS8327IBPWG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 500-kSPS unipolar-input SAR analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample-and-hold, internal conversion clock, and SPI/DSP-compatible serial interface. It delivers ±1 LSB max DNL, ±1.5 LSB max INL, 91 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V analog supply. It is used in high-precision transducer interface and medical instrument data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8327IBPWG4 datasheet, ADS8327IBPWG4 pinout, ADS8327IBPWG4 application, or ADS8327IBPWG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include unipolar input range (0 V to VREF), deep power-down mode (2–50 nA), 16-pin TSSOP package, and EOC/INT programmable polarity for real-time system synchronization.
Technical Context
The ADS8327IBPWG4 implements a capacitor-based successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with inherent sample-and-hold, enabling single-shot conversion without external hold circuitry. Its built-in 10.5–12.2 MHz internal conversion clock eliminates need for external timing components.
It supports both manual and auto trigger modes, with configurable EOC/INT output polarity and daisy-chain operation via CDI/SDO routing. The device uses straight-binary data format and accepts external reference voltages up to 4.096 V with 80 kΩ input impedance.

Pinout & Package
ADS8327IBPWG4 is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP (PW) package with exposed thermal pad internally connected to substrate. Pin 1 is +VA; pin 16 is +VBD; pins 7 and 6 are REF+ and REF− respectively; pin 10 is EOC/INT/CDI; pin 11 is FS/CS; pin 15 is SCLK; pin 13 is SDO; pin 12 is SDI; pins 3 and 4 are +IN and −IN; pin 5 is AGND; pin 14 is BDGND; pin 9 is CONVST; pin 8 is NC; pin 2 is RESERVED (connect to AGND or +VA).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +IN (Pin 3) | Analog input | Noninverting input for unipolar differential measurement; referenced to −IN (typically AGND). |
| −IN (Pin 4) | Analog input | Inverting input; must be tied to AGND for unipolar operation per datasheet configuration. |
| REF+ (Pin 7) | Reference input | Accepts external voltage reference (2.5 V or 4.096 V); defines full-scale range as 0 V to VREF. |
| REF− (Pin 6) | Reference return | Must connect directly to AGND via dedicated via to minimize noise coupling into reference path. |
| CONVST (Pin 9) | Control input | Edge-triggered start signal; freezes sample-and-hold and initiates conversion on next internal clock edge. |
| EOC/INT/CDI (Pin 10) | Status/output | Programmable status pin: EOC (default active-low), INT (programmable pulse), or CDI (daisy-chain data input). |
| FS/CS (Pin 11) | Interface control | Chip select for SPI or frame sync for DSP interfaces; enables serial communication and controls SDO 3-state behavior. |
| SCLK (Pin 15) | Serial clock | Supports up to 50 MHz externally; can serve as I/O clock only or both I/O and conversion clock (1–21 MHz range). |
| SDO (Pin 13) | Serial output | 3-state CMOS output; outputs 16-bit straight-binary result MSB-first; tri-states when CS is high. |
| SDI (Pin 12) | Serial input | Accepts configuration bits for EOC/INT polarity, TAG bit, and channel select (ADS8328 only); not used for ADS8327IBPWG4 configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in conversion clock (CCLK) | 10.5–12.2 MHz internal oscillator eliminates external crystal or clock generator, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Deep power-down mode | 2–50 nA quiescent current enables ultra-low-power sleep states in portable or energy-harvesting systems. |
| Programmable EOC/INT polarity | Configurable active-high/active-low status output simplifies interrupt handling across diverse MCU families without level-shifting. |
| Unipolar input range | 0 V to VREF (2.5 V or 4.096 V) eliminates need for input offset/bias circuitry in single-supply sensor front-ends. |
| Multi-chip daisy chain mode | Enables synchronized sampling across multiple ADS8327 devices using shared SCLK and CS, reducing controller GPIO requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8326IPW | 16-bit, 500 kSPS, but lacks internal CCLK; requires external clock source and has higher offset error (±2 mV). | Not suitable for space-constrained designs where clock generation ICs must be minimized. | Select ADS8326IPW only if external clock distribution already exists and lower cost outweighs added board area. |
| AD7682ACPZ-RL7 | 16-bit, 250 kSPS, SPI interface, no internal clock; features pseudo-differential inputs and lower power (1.2 mW at 100 kSPS). | Lower throughput limits use in high-speed transient capture; different input structure requires redesign of front-end biasing. | Choose AD7682ACPZ-RL7 for ultra-low-power, lower-throughput applications where 250 kSPS suffices and external clock is acceptable. |
Compared with ADS8326IPW and AD7682ACPZ-RL7, ADS8327IBPWG4 uniquely integrates the conversion clock and delivers higher throughput (500 kSPS) with tighter DC specs (±1 LSB DNL, ±0.5 mV offset), making it optimal for compact, high-accuracy, self-timed measurement systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum external SCLK frequency supported by ADS8327IBPWG4?
The ADS8327IBPWG4 supports an external SCLK frequency up to 50 MHz when used solely as an I/O clock. When SCLK also serves as the conversion clock, the valid range is 1–21 MHz. This dual-mode flexibility allows designers to optimize between interface speed and conversion timing control without changing hardware.
Does ADS8327IBPWG4 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, ADS8327IBPWG4 requires an external reference voltage applied between REF+ (Pin 7) and REF− (Pin 6). It supports 2.5 V or 4.096 V references; REF− must be connected directly to AGND. No internal reference is provided, ensuring design flexibility and accuracy matching the chosen reference IC.
Can ADS8327IBPWG4 operate with a 1.8-V I/O supply?
Yes, ADS8327IBPWG4 supports +VBD from 1.65 V to 1.5×(+VA), so with +VA = 2.7 V, +VBD may be as low as 1.65 V - fully compatible with 1.8-V logic interfaces. The device maintains specified VIH/VIL thresholds and output drive strength across this range, enabling direct connection to 1.8-V microcontrollers.
What is the purpose of the RESERVED pin (Pin 2) on ADS8327IBPWG4?
The RESERVED pin (Pin 2) on ADS8327IBPWG4 has no internal connection and must be tied to either AGND or +VA per the datasheet. Leaving it floating may cause noise coupling or latch-up risk; grounding it is recommended for stability in noisy industrial environments.
How does the deep power-down mode affect wake-up time for ADS8327IBPWG4?
In deep power-down mode, ADS8327IBPWG4 draws 2–50 nA and requires a minimum wake-up time of 10 μs after exiting power-down before the first valid conversion. This interval allows internal bias circuits and reference path to stabilize, ensuring full DC and AC performance is restored prior to sampling.
