Product details
Overview
ADS8331IRGET 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, achieves ±1.2 LSB typical INL and 91.5 dB SNR at 1 kHz, and targets precision data acquisition in space-constrained industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8331IRGET datasheet, ADS8331IRGET pinout, ADS8331IRGET application, or ADS8331IRGET equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4-channel mux architecture, 24-pin VQFN (4 mm × 4 mm) package, deep power-down mode (50 nA), daisy-chain capability, and support for unipolar input spans up to 4.096 V with external reference.
Technical Context
The ADS8331IRGET implements a capacitor-based SAR ADC core with inherent sample-and-hold, enabling single-cycle 16-bit conversions at up to 500 kSPS. Its internal conversion clock (10.5–12.2 MHz) eliminates need for external timing components, while flexible trigger modes-global CONVST independent of CS, auto/manual channel select-support synchronized multi-device sampling.
Digital interface compliance includes SPI Mode 0/3 and TMS320 DSP frame-sync protocols, with programmable EOC/INT polarity and 3-state SDO output. The device supports daisy-chain operation via EOC/INT/CDI pin reconfiguration and offers three powerdown states: Nap (325 µA), Auto-NAP (8.7 mW at 250 kSPS), and Deep PD (50 nA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit SAR with no missing codes over temperature - guarantees monotonicity and full-scale accuracy in closed-loop control. |
| Sampling Rate | Up to 500 kSPS - enables real-time capture of fast transients in motor current sensing or vibration monitoring. |
| INL / DNL | ±1.2 LSB typical INL, ±0.6 LSB typical DNL at 2.7 V - ensures <0.002% linearity error for high-fidelity medical instrumentation. |
| SNR / THD | 91.5 dB SNR, –100 dB THD at 1 kHz (5 V, 4.096 VREF) - supports 15.5 effective bits for precision signal analysis. |
| Power Consumption | 14.2 mW at 500 kSPS (VA = 2.7 V, VBD = 1.65 V); 50 nA in Deep PD - extends battery life in portable diagnostic equipment. |
| Analog Input | 4-channel unipolar mux with breakout, 0–VREF range (1.2–4.096 V) - simplifies front-end design for multi-sensor systems without external mux ICs. |
| Interface | SPI/DSP-compatible serial interface, 40 MHz SCLK max (5 V), daisy-chain capable - reduces MCU GPIO count and PCB routing complexity. |
Pinout & Package
ADS8331IRGET is packaged in a 24-pin VQFN (RGE) with 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm body size and exposed thermal pad (to be connected to AGND). Pin functions are validated per TI SBAS363E Rev E datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN[0:3] | Multiplexer analog inputs | Four unipolar input channels; IN0–IN3 connect directly to sensors or signal conditioning stages. |
| ADCIN | ADC input node | Output of internal mux; routed to SAR core-requires low-impedance drive and proper decoupling. |
| COM | Common-mode reference | Typically tied to AGND; defines offset point for all unipolar inputs (INx – COM). |
| REF+, REF– | External reference terminals | Accept 1.2–4.096 V reference voltage; REF– must be connected to AGND via dedicated via for noise isolation. |
| CONVST | Conversion start trigger | Edge-sensitive input that freezes sample-and-hold and initiates conversion-operates independently of FS/CS. |
| FS/CS | Frame sync / chip select | Enables SPI communication; low-active; supports daisy-chain mode when paired with EOC/INT/CDI pin. |
| SCLK, SDI, SDO | Serial interface signals | CMOS-level SPI bus; SDO is 3-state; supports up to 40 MHz clock (5 V) and 25 MHz (2.7 V). |
| EOC/INT/CDI | Status/data chain pin | Configurable as end-of-conversion flag, interrupt output, or daisy-chain data input-enables multi-ADC synchronization. |
| RESET | Hardware reset | Active-low asynchronous reset; initializes internal logic and clears configuration registers. |
| VA, VBD | Supply rails | VA (2.7–5.5 V) powers analog core; VBD (1.65–VA+0.2 V) powers digital I/O-allows mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
| AGND, DGND | Ground returns | Separate analog/digital ground pins require star-point connection or split-plane layout to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 4-channel unipolar mux with breakout | Eliminates external analog switch ICs and associated layout complexity in multi-sensor DAQ systems. |
| Programmable EOC/INT polarity and daisy-chain mode | Enables deterministic timing across multiple converters without additional glue logic or FPGA resources. |
| Three powerdown modes (Deep PD, Nap, Auto-NAP) | Reduces average system power by >99% during idle periods-critical for battery-powered field instruments. |
| Separate VA and VBD supplies | Permits direct interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V microcontrollers while maintaining full analog performance. |
| Global CONVST independent of CS | Supports simultaneous sampling across multiple ADS8331IRGET devices using a single trigger line. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8327IRHBT | 8-channel, 16-bit, 500 kSPS SAR ADC in 32-pin QFN; lacks on-chip conversion clock and daisy-chain mode. | Higher channel count but requires external clock and separate CS lines per device-less suitable for tightly synchronized multi-ADC systems. | Select ADS8327IRHBT only when >4 channels are required and board space allows larger 5 mm × 5 mm QFN package. |
| AD7682BCPZ-RL7 | 4-channel, 16-bit, 250 kSPS SAR ADC; uses SPI-only interface, no DSP frame-sync mode; 100 kSPS minimum throughput in sequencer mode. | Lower maximum sampling rate and no global CONVST-limits use in high-speed transient capture or synchronized multi-device acquisition. | Choose AD7682BCPZ-RL7 if system prioritizes ultra-low noise (92.5 dB SNR) over speed and requires industry-standard SPI compatibility without DSP legacy support. |
Compared with ADS8331IRGET, ADS8327IRHBT offers more channels but sacrifices integration (no CCLK, no daisy-chain), while AD7682BCPZ-RL7 trades speed for lower noise and simpler SPI implementation-making ADS8331IRGET optimal for compact, synchronized, low-power 4-channel DAQ designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the ADS8331IRGET?
The ADS8331IRGET supports a maximum sampling rate of 500 kSPS under specified conditions (VA = 2.7 V to 5.5 V, VBD ≥ 1.65 V). This rate is achievable with either internal or external conversion clocking and is maintained across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). At 500 kSPS, the device delivers 16-bit resolution with ±1.2 LSB typical INL and 91.5 dB SNR at 1 kHz when powered at 5 V with 4.096 V reference.
Does the ADS8331IRGET require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS8331IRGET requires an external reference voltage applied between REF+ and REF– pins. It supports unipolar reference ranges from 1.2 V to 4.096 V (up to VA), with typical configurations using 2.5 V (at 2.7 V VA) or 4.096 V (at 5 V VA). The device does not include an internal reference; REF– must be connected to AGND via a dedicated PCB via to ensure optimal PSRR and noise rejection.
Can the ADS8331IRGET operate with different analog and digital supply voltages?
Yes, the ADS8331IRGET 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 + 0.2 V for the digital interface. This allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V microcontrollers while maintaining full analog performance-enabling mixed-voltage system designs without level shifters.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the ADS8331IRGET?
Daisy-chain mode on the ADS8331IRGET uses the EOC/INT/CDI pin as a chain data input (CDI) to cascade serial data between multiple devices. In this configuration, SDO of one ADS8331IRGET connects to SDI of the next, with shared SCLK and FS/CS lines. The first device's EOC/INT/CDI remains configured as EOC/INT, while subsequent devices configure it as CDI-enabling single-frame readout of all converters' data with minimal MCU GPIO usage.
What power-saving modes are available on the ADS8331IRGET?
The ADS8331IRGET provides three power-saving modes: Deep Powerdown (50–250 nA), Nap (325–500 µA), and Auto-NAP (8.7 mW at 250 kSPS). Deep PD halts all internal clocks and resets logic; Nap retains register state but disables conversion circuitry; Auto-NAP automatically enters Nap between conversions at ≤250 kSPS. All modes are controlled via SPI command or hardware RESET, with wake-up time <1 µs from Nap and <10 µs from Deep PD.
