Product details
Overview
ADS8331IBRGER from Texas Instruments is a low-power, 16-bit, 500-kSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated 4-channel unipolar multiplexer, on-chip conversion clock, and SPI/DSP-compatible serial interface. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V analog supply, delivers ±1.2 LSB typical INL at 2.7 V, and supports daisy-chain operation in data acquisition systems requiring high DC accuracy and flexible channel sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8331IBRGER datasheet, ADS8331IBRGER pinout, ADS8331IBRGER application, or ADS8331IBRGER equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-channel mux architecture, 24-pin VQFN (4 mm × 4 mm) package, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and support for auto/manual trigger modes with programmable EOC/INT polarity - all critical for transducer interface and medical instrument designs.
Technical Context
The ADS8331IBRGER implements a capacitor-based SAR ADC core with inherent sample-and-hold, enabling single-cycle acquisition and 18-conversion-clock conversion time. Its analog front-end includes a breakout-capable 4:1 multiplexer with COM input, allowing differential or pseudo-differential configurations relative to AGND.
Digital control is executed via a CMOS-compatible SPI interface supporting up to 40 MHz SCLK (at 5 V), with configurable frame sync (FS/CS), conversion start (CONVST), and status output (EOC/INT/CDI) that doubles as chain data input in daisy-chain mode. Power management includes Deep PD, Nap, and Auto-NAP modes with sub-μA quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - guarantees monotonic output and no missing codes over full industrial temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 500 kSPS - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~250 kHz Nyquist bandwidth with adequate oversampling headroom. |
| INL (Typical) | ±1.2 LSB at VA = 2.7 V - ensures <0.002% full-scale linearity error for precision sensor digitization. |
| SNR (Typical) | 91.5 dB at fIN = 1 kHz, VA = 5 V - supports >15 effective bits of dynamic resolution in clean signal environments. |
| Analog Supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers and battery-powered systems without level-shifting. |
| Digital I/O Supply | 1.65 V to VA - enables interoperability with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V logic families while maintaining timing integrity. |
| Package | VQFN-24 (4 mm × 4 mm) - provides compact footprint and thermal pad for reliable heat dissipation in space-constrained PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
ADS8331IBRGER is housed in a 24-pin VQFN package (RGE) with 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm body size and exposed thermal pad on the bottom side, which must be connected to analog ground for optimal thermal and noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN[0:3] | Multiplexer analog inputs | Four dedicated unipolar input channels; selected individually or sequentially via control register or hardware trigger. |
| ADCIN | ADC conversion input | Output of internal mux; connects to SAR core's sampling capacitor array for digitization. |
| MUXOUT | Mux output node | Accessible for external buffering or diagnostic probing; tied to ADCIN internally during conversion. |
| COM | Common-mode reference | Single-ended reference point for all INx inputs; typically tied to AGND but supports offset biasing. |
| REF+, REF− | External reference terminals | Accept 1.2 V to 4.096 V unipolar reference; REF− must be routed separately to AGND via individual via. |
| CONVST | Conversion start trigger | Edge-sensitive input that freezes sample-and-hold and initiates conversion independent of CS state. |
| FS/CS | Frame sync / chip select | Active-low SPI frame delimiter; enables daisy-chain synchronization and multi-device readout. |
| SCLK, SDI, SDO | SPI interface signals | Support 4-wire SPI with MSB-first straight-binary output; SDO is 3-state controlled by CS. |
| EOC/INT/CDI | Status & chaining terminal | Configurable as end-of-conversion flag, interrupt output, or daisy-chain data input - reduces pin count in multi-ADC systems. |
| VA, VBD | Analog & digital supplies | Separate rails allow optimized noise isolation: VA powers analog core, VBD powers digital interface. |
| AGND, DGND | Analog & digital grounds | Must be connected at single point near device; DGND referenced to VBD, AGND to VA and REF−. |
| RESET | Hardware reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset that clears internal registers and forces device into known power-on state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 4-channel mux with breakout | Enables flexible signal routing without external analog switches; each INx accessible independently for calibration or diagnostics. |
| Programmable EOC/INT polarity | Allows alignment with host processor's interrupt polarity requirements without external inverters or firmware workarounds. |
| Daisy-chain mode support | Permits cascading multiple ADS8331IBRGER devices on shared SCLK/SDI lines using single CS, reducing GPIO usage and PCB trace count. |
| Auto-NAP powerdown mode | Automatically enters low-power Nap state between conversions at ≤250 kSPS, cutting total supply current to 8.7 mW at 2.7 V. |
| Global CONVST independent of CS | Supports synchronized sampling across multiple converters even when CS is deasserted, essential for phase-coherent multi-channel acquisition. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS8331IBRGER?
The ADS8331IBRGER supports a maximum sampling rate of 500 kSPS under specified conditions (VA = 5 V, VBD = 5 V, fSCLK ≥ 40 MHz). At this rate, conversion time is fixed at 18 internal CCLK cycles, and acquisition time is 3 CCLK cycles in both manual and auto-trigger modes. The device maintains full 16-bit performance and monotonicity across the entire industrial temperature range.
Does the ADS8331IBRGER require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS8331IBRGER requires an external unipolar reference voltage applied between REF+ and REF− pins. It accepts references from 1.2 V to 4.096 V (up to VA), with typical operation at 2.5 V (for 2.7 V supply) or 4.096 V (for 5 V supply). The reference input impedance is 20 kΩ, and REF− must be connected directly to AGND through a dedicated via to minimize noise coupling.
Can the ADS8331IBRGER operate with different analog and digital supply voltages?
Yes, the ADS8331IBRGER supports independent analog (VA) and digital I/O (VBD) supplies. VA ranges from 2.7 V to 5.5 V for the analog core, while VBD ranges from 1.65 V to VA for the digital interface. This separation allows interfacing with 1.8 V or 2.5 V microcontrollers while powering the SAR core from a cleaner 3.3 V or 5 V rail - improving noise immunity and system-level power efficiency.
How does daisy-chain mode function on the ADS8331IBRGER?
In daisy-chain mode, the ADS8331IBRGER uses the EOC/INT/CDI pin as a chain data input (CDI), accepting serial data from the previous device's SDO output. Multiple ADS8331IBRGER units share SCLK and SDI lines, with a single CS controlling frame timing. Data from all devices appears sequentially on the master SDO line, enabling synchronized multi-ADC readout without additional GPIOs or address decoding logic.
What power-saving modes are available on the ADS8331IBRGER?
The ADS8331IBRGER offers three power-saving modes: Deep PD (250 nA standby current), Nap (325–500 μA), and Auto-NAP (automatically entered between conversions at ≤250 kSPS). Auto-NAP reduces average power to 8.7 mW at 2.7 V, while Deep PD enables ultra-low-power wake-on-CONVST operation in battery-critical applications such as portable sensors or IoT edge nodes.
