Product details
Overview
ADS8345N from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 8-channel SAR analog-to-digital converter with synchronous serial interface, bipolar input range (±VREF), 100kHz throughput, and 85dB SINAD. It operates from a single 2.7V–5V supply, supports single-ended or differential input configurations, and targets precision data acquisition in battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8345N datasheet, ADS8345N pinout, ADS8345N application, or ADS8345N equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SSOP-20 package mapping, real-world use cases in portable instrumentation and industrial monitoring, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and parametric differences.
Technical Context
The ADS8345N implements a capacitive redistribution SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold and an 8-channel analog multiplexer. Its conversion timing is strictly controlled by either an external 24× sample clock or an internal oscillator, enabling flexible microprocessor interfacing without external timing constraints.
It features binary two's complement output format, CMOS-compatible digital I/O with overvoltage tolerance up to +5.5V, and programmable power-down modes (including auto-shutdown between conversions). Reference voltage range is 0.5V to VCC/2, directly setting full-scale input span as ±VREF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 65,536 discrete output codes for high-fidelity signal digitization |
| Throughput Rate | 100 kHz - enables real-time sampling of signals up to ~40 kHz (Nyquist-limited) |
| SINAD | 85 dB at 10 kHz input (5 Vp-p, +5V supply) - ensures ≥13.8 effective bits in typical conditions |
| Integral Linearity Error | ±8 LSB max (ADS8345N grade) - corresponds to ±0.05% FSR error affecting absolute accuracy |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.25 V - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable equipment deployment |
| Power Dissipation | 7.5–10 mW at 100 kHz (+5V) - enables extended battery life in handheld data loggers |
Pinout & Package
ADS8345N is packaged in a 20-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm pitch, footprint code DB, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3 per JEDEC J-STD-020. The package is RoHS-compliant and rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 | Analog input channels | Eight single-ended inputs or four differential pairs; selected via A2–A0 and SGL/DIF control bits |
| COM | Common-mode reference | Reference node for single-ended mode; tied to VREF or system mid-supply to define input common voltage |
| SHDN | Shutdown control | Active-low input; reduces quiescent current to <15 µW when asserted |
| VREF | External reference input | Accepts 0.5 V to VCC/2; sets full-scale range as ±VREF; unbuffered, draws ~13–40 µA depending on VREF and rate |
| +VCC (Pins 12 & 20) | Power supply | Dual power pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR; supports 2.7–5.25 V operation |
| GND (Pins 13 & 14) | Analog/digital ground | Separate ground pins minimize noise coupling between analog and digital sections |
| DIN / DOUT / DCLK / CS / BUSY | 4-wire serial interface | CMOS-level, overvoltage-tolerant (to +5.5 V); supports 24-cycle conversion protocol with MSB-first, falling-edge data valid |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-for-pin compatibility | Direct replacement for ADS7844 and ADS8344 - enables drop-in upgrade path with no PCB change |
| Bipolar input architecture | ±VREF input range with COM-referenced or fully differential configuration - eliminates need for external level-shifting circuitry |
| Programmable power-down | Auto shutdown between conversions (PD1=PD0=0) cuts supply current to 3 µA - extends battery runtime in intermittent-sampling applications |
| Internal clock option | Internal SAR clock (PD1=1, PD0=0) decouples conversion timing from host processor - simplifies firmware and improves noise immunity |
| Channel-to-channel isolation | 105 dB (at 10 kHz) - prevents crosstalk in multi-channel simultaneous sampling scenarios |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8344N | Same 16-bit SAR core, but 4-channel (not 8-channel); identical SSOP-20 package and pinout except CH4–CH7 unused | Limited to 4-input systems; lacks multiplexer flexibility for scalable sensor arrays | Select when channel count ≤4 and board layout reuse is critical; verify COM/VREF routing matches ADS8345N |
| ADS7844N | 12-bit resolution (vs 16-bit); same 8-channel, serial interface, and SSOP-20 package; lower power (3.5mW) | Lower accuracy (±1 LSB INL vs ±8 LSB); suitable only where 12-bit resolution suffices | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-precision applications; not acceptable for medical or metrology use cases requiring 16-bit fidelity |
Compared with ADS8345N, ADS8344N offers identical interface and packaging but halves channel count, while ADS7844N sacrifices 4 bits of resolution and dynamic range to reduce cost and power-making ADS8345N the optimal choice for applications demanding both channel density and 16-bit accuracy.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended reference voltage for ADS8345N?
The ADS8345N accepts VREF from 0.5 V up to VCC/2. At +5V supply, maximum VREF is +2.5V; at +2.7V supply, it is +1.35V. Exceeding VCC/2 risks violating absolute maximum ratings and may cause nonmonotonic behavior or damage. The device achieves best SINAD (85 dB) and lowest INL (±8 LSB) when VREF = +2.5V and VCC = +5V.
Does ADS8345N support true differential input mode?
Yes, ADS8345N supports true differential input via its SGL/DIF control bit and channel pairing (e.g., CH0/CH4, CH1/CH5). In differential mode, the input is the voltage difference between two channels, with common-mode range centered on VREF and amplitude up to ±VREF per input. This provides inherent rejection of common-mode noise and eliminates need for external instrumentation amplifiers in many sensor interfaces.
Can ADS8345N operate with a 3.3V supply and still achieve full 16-bit performance?
Yes, ADS8345N is fully specified down to +2.7V supply. At +3.3V, it maintains 16-bit resolution, 100kHz throughput, and 81dB SINAD (at 1kHz). Integral linearity remains ±8 LSB, and power dissipation drops to 3.2–5mW. VREF must be ≤ +1.65V (VCC/2), and analog input range scales accordingly to ±VREF.
How does the SHDN pin interact with the power-down modes controlled by PD1/PD0 bits?
The SHDN pin provides hardware-level shutdown, forcing ADS8345N into ultra-low-power state (<15 µW) regardless of PD1/PD0 settings. PD1/PD0 bits control automatic power-down between conversions (PD1=PD0=0) or clock mode selection. SHDN overrides all register-controlled states - asserting SHDN disables internal clocks, analog circuitry, and digital I/O, while releasing SHDN restores full functionality after tstartup ≈ 1 µs.
Is ADS8345N pin-compatible with ADS8345EB or ADS8345E variants?
No - ADS8345N (SSOP-20, DB package) is not pin-compatible with ADS8345E or ADS8345EB, which use QSOP-20 (DBQ package) with different mechanical dimensions and lead pitch (0.635 mm vs 0.65 mm). While electrical functionality and pin functions match, PCB footprints are incompatible; layout redesign is required for substitution.
