Product details
Overview
ADS8327IPW 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 ±2 LSB max integral nonlinearity. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V analog supply and delivers 91 dB SNR at 10 kHz, targeting precision data acquisition in medical instruments and industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8327IPW datasheet, ADS8327IPW pinout, ADS8327IPW application, or ADS8327IPW equivalent, key selection considerations include its unipolar input range (0 V to VREF), 18-cycle conversion time, deep power-down mode (2–50 nA), TSSOP-16 package, and compatibility with daisy-chain configurations for multi-channel systems.
Technical Context
The ADS8327IPW implements a capacitor-based successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, enabling single-shot or auto-triggered conversions. Its internal 10.5–12.2 MHz conversion clock eliminates external timing components while supporting up to 50 MHz external SCLK for high-speed serial readout.
It features programmable EOC/INT polarity, global CONVST independent of CS, and dual operation modes: manual trigger (3-cycle acquisition) and auto-trigger (3-cycle acquisition + automatic restart). The device supports chain mode via CDI/SDO routing and uses straight-binary output format with no missing codes over temperature.

Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package with exposed thermal pad (internally connected to substrate; recommended to connect to AGND or leave floating, isolated from digital ground).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +VA | Analog supply input | Primary analog power rail (2.7–5.5 V); powers SAR core, reference buffer, and sample-and-hold |
| +IN | Analog input | Noninverting unipolar input (0 V to VREF); referenced to –IN or COM |
| –IN | Analog input | Inverting input, typically tied to AGND for single-ended operation |
| REF+ | Reference input | Positive terminal of external voltage reference (e.g., 2.5 V or 4.096 V) |
| REF− | Reference input | Negative terminal; must be connected to AGND via dedicated via |

| EOC/INT/CDI | Digital I/O | Configurable status pin: end-of-conversion flag, programmable-interrupt output, or chain-data input in daisy-chain mode |
| AGND | Analog ground | Return path for analog circuitry; must be separated from BDGND to minimize noise coupling |
| BDGND | Digital ground | Return path for interface logic (+VBD domain); kept separate from AGND per layout guidance |
| +VBD | I/O supply | Buffer/digital interface supply (1.65–5.5 V); sets logic thresholds for SDI/SDO/FS/CS |
| NC | No connection | No internal connection; must be left unconnected or tied to AGND per PCB design rules |
Key Features

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8328IPW | Dual-channel 2:1 MUX input with TAG bit output; identical core, timing, and power specs | Requires dual-sensor inputs or channel multiplexing; not pin-compatible due to +IN0/+IN1/COM pin mapping | Select when simultaneous sampling of two analog sources is required; requires PCB redesign for pinout |
| ADS8329IPW | 1-MSPS version with same 16-bit SAR architecture, TSSOP-16 package, and feature set | Higher throughput but increased power (14 mW vs. 10.6 mW at 2.7 V); identical interface and register map | Choose for bandwidth-critical applications where 500 kSPS is insufficient; verify thermal budget |
Compared with ADS8328IPW and ADS8329IPW, the ADS8327IPW provides optimal balance of power efficiency (10.6 mW), precision (±2 LSB INL), and simplicity for single-channel systems-making it ideal for space- and energy-constrained embedded DAQ where dual inputs or >500 kSPS are unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS8327IPW?
The ADS8327IPW supports a maximum sampling rate of 500 kSPS. This is achieved using its internal 10.5–12.2 MHz conversion clock and fixed 18-cycle conversion time. External SCLK can run up to 50 MHz for serial readout, but does not increase the sampling rate beyond 500 kSPS. The ADS8327IPW maintains full 16-bit performance-including ±2 LSB INL and 91 dB SNR-at this rate under specified supply and reference conditions.
Does the ADS8327IPW require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS8327IPW requires an external unipolar reference voltage applied between REF+ and REF− pins. It supports reference ranges from 0.3 V to 4.2 V, commonly implemented with 2.5 V or 4.096 V precision references. REF− must be connected directly to AGND via a dedicated via to maintain accuracy; the device contains no internal reference. The ADS8327IPW's ±0.5 mV offset error at 2.7 V assumes proper external reference implementation.
How does the power-down functionality work on the ADS8327IPW?
The ADS8327IPW offers three power-down modes: Deep Power-Down (2–50 nA), Nap Power-Down (0.2–0.4 µA), and Auto Nap (automatic entry after conversion). These are controlled via SPI commands written to configuration registers. In Deep Power-Down, the internal clock and analog circuitry are disabled; wake-up requires CONVST pulse or CS activity. This enables ultra-low quiescent current in battery-powered ADS8327IPW applications such as portable medical monitors.
Can the ADS8327IPW operate with different analog and I/O supply voltages?
Yes, the ADS8327IPW supports independent analog (+VA: 2.7–5.5 V) and digital interface (+VBD: 1.65 V to 1.5×+VA) supplies. This allows interfacing with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V controllers while maintaining full analog performance. For example, +VA = 2.7 V and +VBD = 1.8 V yields 10.6 mW total power, whereas +VA = 5 V and +VBD = 5 V increases dissipation to 38.5 mW. Logic thresholds scale with +VBD, ensuring robust signal integrity across mixed-voltage systems using ADS8327IPW.
Is the ADS8327IPW pin-compatible with other devices in the ADS832x family?
No, the ADS8327IPW is not pin-compatible with ADS8328IPW due to differing analog input pin assignments (+IN/–IN vs. +IN0/+IN1/COM) and reserved pin usage. However, it shares the same TSSOP-16 footprint and pinout with ADS8329IPW (1-MSPS variant) and ADS8330IPW (dual-channel 1-MSPS), enabling drop-in replacement where higher speed is acceptable. Always verify pin function mapping against the specific device's terminal functions table before board reuse.
