Product details
Overview
ADS8330IRSAR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 1-MSPS dual-channel unipolar SAR analog-to-digital converter with integrated 2:1 MUX, programmable TAG bit output, and SPI/DSP-compatible serial interface. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V analog supply, delivers ±1.75 LSB max INL and 93 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and targets precision data acquisition in industrial process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8330IRSAR datasheet, ADS8330IRSAR pinout, ADS8330IRSAR application, or ADS8330IRSAR equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual single-ended input architecture, auto/manual channel select mode, daisy-chain capability, and low-power deep power-down (4 nA) for battery-sensitive embedded measurement nodes.
Technical Context
The ADS8330IRSAR implements a capacitor-based successive-approximation register (SAR) ADC core with inherent sample-and-hold, supporting both manual and auto-triggered conversion modes. Its dual-input MUX enables time-multiplexed sampling of +IN0 and +IN1 against a shared COM reference, with programmable channel selection logic and TAG bit insertion per conversion result.
It features a built-in 22.9 MHz internal conversion clock (CCLK), supports external SCLK up to 42 MHz in I/O-only or I/O+conversion roles, and provides three power-down states-Deep (4 nA), Nap (0.25 mA), and Auto-Nap-with global CONVST independent of CS for synchronized multi-device triggering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonic transfer function across full temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 1 MSPS at +VA = 3–5.5 V; 900 kSPS at +VA = 2.7–3 V - enables high-speed acquisition without external clock tuning. |
| INL / DNL | ±1.75 LSB max INL, ±1 LSB max DNL (I-grade) - ensures <0.003% full-scale linearity error for calibrated sensor interfaces. |
| SNR / THD | 93 dB SNR, –102 dB THD at fIN = 10 kHz - supports high-fidelity digitization of low-noise transducer signals. |
| Power Dissipation | 15.5 mW at 1 MSPS, +VA = 3 V, +VBD = 1.8 V - suitable for thermally constrained portable instrumentation. |
| Input Range | 0 V to VREF (unipolar) - simplifies signal conditioning for grounded-referenced sensors like RTDs or strain gauges. |
| Channel Isolation | 101 dB at 50 kHz - prevents crosstalk between +IN0 and +IN1 during multiplexed acquisition. |
Pinout & Package
ADS8330IRSAR is housed in a 4 × 4 mm, 16-pin QFN package (RSA) with exposed thermal pad internally connected to substrate. Pin 1 is REF+, and the package supports solder reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, REF+ | External reference input | Accepts 0.3–3 V or 2.475–2.525 V (for 2.5 V ref) or 0.3–5.5 V (for 5 V ref); defines full-scale range. |
| 2, NC | No internal connection | Must be left floating or tied to AGND; no electrical function. |
| 3, CONVST | Conversion start trigger | Edge-sensitive input that freezes sample-and-hold and initiates conversion on next internal clock edge. |
| 4, EOC/INT/CDI | Status/output/control | Configurable as end-of-conversion flag (EOC), interrupt (INT), or chain data input (CDI) in daisy-chain mode. |
| 5, FS/CS | Frame sync / chip select | Active-low SPI slave select; also serves as frame sync for TMS320 DSP interface. |
| 6, SDI | Serial data input | Accepts configuration commands (e.g., channel select, TAG enable) and software reset instruction. |
| 7, SDO | Serial data output | 3-state output delivering 16-bit straight-binary result plus optional TAG bit; driven only when CS is low. |
| 8, BDGND | Digital interface ground | Separate ground return for +VBD-supplied digital I/O; must be isolated from AGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 9, SCLK | Serial clock input | Supports up to 42 MHz; used for both data transfer and internal conversion timing when configured accordingly. |
| 10, +VBD | Digital I/O supply | 1.65–5.5 V CMOS-compatible supply; sets logic thresholds for SDI/SDO/FS/CS/CONVST/EOC pins. |
| 11, +VA | Analog supply | 2.7–5.5 V supply for SAR core, reference buffer, and analog front-end; directly impacts power consumption and noise floor. |
| 12, +IN1 | Second analog input | Noninverting input for second channel; sampled when channel select = 1 or in auto-sequencing mode. |
| 13, +IN0 | First analog input | Noninverting input for primary channel; default input selected on power-up or reset. |
| 14, COM | Common inverting input | Shared reference node for both +IN0 and +IN1; typically tied to AGND or system common-mode voltage. |
| 15, AGND | Analog ground | Primary ground reference for analog circuitry, REF–, and COM; requires low-impedance connection to system AGND plane. |
| 16, REF– | Reference negative input | Must be connected to AGND via dedicated via; establishes 0 V reference for external voltage reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable TAG bit output | Appends 1-bit identifier to each 16-bit conversion result, enabling unambiguous channel attribution in auto-sequenced dual-channel reads. |
| Auto/manual channel select mode | Hardware-selectable operation: auto-sequencing cycles between +IN0 and +IN1, while manual mode allows deterministic per-conversion channel choice via SDI command. |
| Daisy-chain capability | Supports multi-ADC configurations using CDI/SDO cascading without additional glue logic or FPGA resources. |
| Built-in conversion clock (CCLK) | Eliminates need for external clock source; 22.9 MHz typical frequency enables consistent 1 MSPS throughput regardless of SCLK stability. |
| Three-tier power-down hierarchy | Deep (4 nA), Nap (0.25 mA), and Auto-Nap (dynamic entry/exit) modes allow fine-grained energy management in intermittent-sampling applications. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the ADS8330IRSAR under 3-V analog supply conditions?
The ADS8330IRSAR achieves a maximum sampling rate of 900 kSPS when operated with +VA = 2.7 V to 3 V and an external clock. At +VA = 3 V to 3.6 V, it sustains 1 MSPS using either internal or external clocking. This dual-rate capability allows designers to optimize power versus speed without changing hardware.
Does the ADS8330IRSAR require an external reference voltage, or does it include an internal reference?
The ADS8330IRSAR does not include an internal voltage reference and requires an external reference applied between REF+ and REF– pins. Supported reference ranges are 0.3–3 V (for 2.5 V nominal) or 0.3–5.5 V (for 5 V nominal), with tight tolerance requirements (±25 mV at 2.5 V) to maintain specified INL and gain error performance.
How does the programmable TAG bit function in the ADS8330IRSAR, and how is it enabled?
The TAG bit in ADS8330IRSAR is a user-configurable 1-bit identifier appended to each 16-bit conversion result to distinguish between +IN0 and +IN1 channels. It is enabled via a configuration command written to the SDI pin during initialization; once set, the TAG bit appears as the MSB+1 position in the 17-bit serial output stream.
Can the ADS8330IRSAR operate in daisy-chain mode with other ADCs, and what pins are involved?
Yes, the ADS8330IRSAR supports daisy-chain mode using the EOC/INT/CDI pin as chain data input and SDO as chain data output. In this configuration, multiple ADS8330IRSAR devices share a common SCLK and FS/CS, with each device's SDO connected to the next device's CDI, enabling synchronized multi-ADC readout with minimal interface lines.
What are the power-down current specifications for the ADS8330IRSAR, and how are the modes selected?
The ADS8330IRSAR offers three power-down modes: Deep (4 nA), Nap (0.25 mA), and Auto-Nap (dynamic entry/exit). Mode selection is controlled via SPI commands sent to the SDI pin; Deep mode disables all circuitry except wake-up logic, while Nap retains register state and enables fast wake-up (<1 µs) for burst-mode acquisition.
