Product details
Overview
ADS8327IBRSAR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 500-kSPS unipolar-input SAR analog-to-digital converter with built-in conversion clock, SPI/DSP-compatible serial interface, and industrial-grade operation (–40°C to +85°C). It delivers ±1 LSB max DNL, ±2 LSB max INL, 91 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and 100 dB SFDR - enabling high-precision data acquisition in transducer interfaces and medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8327IBRSAR datasheet, ADS8327IBRSAR pinout, ADS8327IBRSAR application, or ADS8327IBRSAR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4×4 QFN-16 package, dual-supply operation (+VA = 2.7–5.5 V, +VBD = 1.65–5.5 V), programmable EOC/INT polarity, and daisy-chain capability for multi-channel systems.
Technical Context
The ADS8327IBRSAR implements a capacitor-based successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated sample-and-hold. Its conversion logic uses an internal 10.5–12.2 MHz CCLK derived from SCLK or operates with external clocking up to 21 MHz.
It supports manual and auto-triggered conversion modes, features global CONVST independent of CS, and provides status output via EOC/INT/CDI with programmable polarity and duration - all while maintaining 16-bit no-missing-codes performance across temperature and supply variations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with guaranteed no missing codes - ensures full dynamic range utilization in precision measurement systems. |
| Sampling Rate | 500 kSPS maximum throughput - supports real-time acquisition of fast transients in industrial control loops. |
| INL / DNL | ±2 LSB max INL, ±1 LSB max DNL - enables accurate DC calibration and low-gain error in sensor front-ends. |
| SNR / SFDR | 91 dB SNR, 100 dB SFDR at 10 kHz - meets requirements for high-fidelity signal capture in medical and test equipment. |
| Supply Range | +VA = 2.7–5.5 V, +VBD = 1.65–5.5 V - allows flexible I/O voltage scaling and compatibility with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V digital controllers. |
| Power Dissipation | 10.6 mW at 2.7 V / 1.8 V, 32 mW at 5 V / 1.8 V - enables battery-powered or thermally constrained embedded designs. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial process control, motor drives, and outdoor instrumentation environments. |
Pinout & Package
ADS8327IBRSAR is housed in a 4×4 mm, 16-pin QFN package (RSA) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is REF+ (REFIN); pin 16 is +VBD. The thermal pad is internally connected to substrate and may be tied to AGND or left floating - but must remain isolated from digital ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF+ (Pin 1) | External reference input | Accepts 0.3–4.2 V reference voltage; determines full-scale input range (0 V to VREF). |
| REF− (Pin 16) | Reference return | Must connect to AGND via dedicated via to minimize noise coupling into reference path. |
| +IN (Pin 13) | Noninverting analog input | Primary unipolar input node; accepts 0 V to VREF relative to –IN (typically AGND). |
| –IN (Pin 14) | Inverting analog input | Typically grounded; establishes common-mode point for pseudo-differential input configuration. |
| CONVST (Pin 3) | Conversion start trigger | Edge-sensitive input that freezes sample-and-hold and initiates conversion on next internal clock edge. |
| EOC/INT/CDI (Pin 4) | Status/data chain input | Configurable as end-of-conversion flag, interrupt output, or daisy-chain data input in multi-device systems. |
| FS/CS (Pin 5) | Frame sync / chip select | Active-low SPI slave select or TMS320 DSP frame sync; enables serial interface access and read timing control. |
| SCLK (Pin 9) | Serial clock input | Drives both interface timing and internal conversion clock (when configured as dual-purpose). |
| SDI (Pin 6) | Serial data input | Accepts configuration commands (e.g., reset, polarity setup) and supports software-initiated conversions. |
| SDO (Pin 7) | Serial data output | Provides 16-bit straight-binary result MSB-first; tri-state controlled by CS/FS deassertion. |
| +VA (Pin 11) | Analog supply | Powers core ADC, reference buffer, and sample-and-hold; requires local 100 nF + 10 µF decoupling. |
| +VBD (Pin 10) | Digital I/O supply | Supplies interface logic; supports 1.65–5.5 V to match host processor I/O voltage levels. |
| AGND (Pin 15) | Analog ground | Return for analog circuitry; must be separated from BDGND and connected at single point near power entry. |
| BDGND (Pin 8) | Digital interface ground | Return for SCLK, SDI, SDO, FS/CS; routed separately from AGND to prevent digital noise injection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in conversion clock (CCLK) | Eliminates need for external clock source; internal 10.5–12.2 MHz oscillator simplifies system timing design. |
| Programmable EOC/INT polarity & duration | Allows synchronization with host controller interrupt latency or polling intervals without firmware modification. |
| Daisy-chain mode support | Enables cascaded readout of multiple ADS8327 devices using single SCLK/SDI/SDO lines - reduces PCB routing complexity. |
| Global CONVST independent of CS | Permits simultaneous sampling across multiple converters even when individual CS lines are asserted at different times. |
| Comprehensive power-down modes | Deep power-down (2–50 nA), Nap (0.2–0.5 mA), and Auto-Nap modes enable adaptive power management in portable systems. |
Applications
| Transducer Interface | Medical Instrumentation |
|---|---|
|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8328IBRSAR | Dual-input MUX with programmable TAG bit; identical core ADC performance and pinout except +IN0/+IN1/COM pins replace +IN/–IN. | Required for multiplexed dual-channel sensing; not drop-in compatible due to input pin reassignment. | Select ADS8328IBRSAR only when 2:1 analog input switching or channel identification is needed. |
| ADS8329IPWR | 1-MSPS version in TSSOP-16; same architecture but higher speed, wider INL (±3 LSB max), and no deep power-down mode. | Used where throughput >500 kSPS is mandatory; consumes more power and lacks ultra-low-power sleep states. | Choose ADS8329IPWR if sampling rate is limiting, but verify thermal and power budget impact. |
Compared with ADS8327IBRSAR, ADS8328IBRSAR adds input multiplexing at the cost of pin compatibility, while ADS8329IPWR trades power efficiency and precision for speed - making ADS8327IBRSAR optimal for battery-powered or thermally sensitive 500-kSPS applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum external SCLK frequency supported by the ADS8327IBRSAR?
The ADS8327IBRSAR supports SCLK up to 50 MHz when used solely as an I/O clock, and up to 21 MHz when SCLK also serves as the conversion clock. At 21 MHz, the device achieves its rated 500-kSPS throughput with proper timing margins per the datasheet's tc(SCLK) and setup/hold requirements.
Does the ADS8327IBRSAR require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS8327IBRSAR requires an external reference applied between REF+ and REF− pins. It accepts reference voltages from 0.3 V to 4.2 V (for +VA ≥ 2.7 V) or up to 4.2 V (for +VA ≥ 4.5 V), defining the full-scale input range as 0 V to VREF at the +IN input.
How does the power-down functionality work in the ADS8327IBRSAR?
The ADS8327IBRSAR offers three power-down modes: Deep Power-Down (2–50 nA), Nap (0.2–0.5 mA), and Auto-Nap (automatically entered after conversion completes). These are controlled via SPI commands and reduce power consumption without losing configuration state or requiring reinitialization.
Can the ADS8327IBRSAR be used in daisy-chain configurations?
Yes, the ADS8327IBRSAR supports daisy-chain operation using the EOC/INT/CDI pin as a chain data input. In this mode, multiple devices share SCLK, SDI, and FS/CS lines, with SDO of one device connected to CDI of the next - enabling compact multi-ADC systems with minimal GPIO usage.
What is the meaning of the 'IB' suffix in ADS8327IBRSAR?
The 'IB' suffix denotes the industrial-grade temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and tighter performance specifications: ±1 LSB max DNL, ±2 LSB max INL, and ±1 mV max offset error at 5 V - distinguishing it from the standard 'I' grade (±2 LSB DNL, ±3 LSB INL).
