Product details
Overview
ADS8345N/1K from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 8-channel SAR analog-to-digital converter with synchronous serial interface, bipolar input range (±VREF), and up to 100kHz throughput. It operates from a single 2.7V–5V supply, supports both single-ended and differential input configurations, and features an onboard 8-channel multiplexer-ideal for portable data loggers and battery-powered test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8345N/1K datasheet, ADS8345N/1K pinout, ADS8345N/1K application, or ADS8345N/1K equivalent, key selection considerations include its 85dB SINAD at 10kHz, ±8 LSB integral linearity error over –40°C to +85°C, QSOP-20/SSOP-20 package compatibility, and shutdown mode reducing power to <15µW.
Technical Context
The ADS8345N/1K implements a capacitive redistribution SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, enabling precise 16-bit conversion without external hold circuitry. Its 8-channel analog multiplexer supports flexible input routing-either 8 single-ended channels referenced to COM or 4 fully differential pairs (CH0–CH7)-configured via a 24-bit serial control word.
It uses a synchronous 4-wire SPI-compatible interface (DIN/DOUT/DCLK/CS) with BUSY signaling and supports two clock modes: external clock (up to 2.4MHz) or internal clock (2.4MHz typical). The reference input (VREF = 0.5V to VCC/2) directly defines full-scale span (±VREF), and COM serves as common-mode reference for single-ended operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit SAR - delivers 65,536 discrete output codes with monotonic transfer function and no missing codes guaranteed. |
| Throughput Rate | 100kHz maximum - enables real-time sampling of signals up to ~40kHz (Nyquist-limited) in continuous acquisition. |
| SINAD | 85dB at 10kHz (VREF = 2.5V) - ensures high-fidelity digitization for precision measurement applications. |
| Integral Linearity Error | ±8 LSB (ADS8345N grade) - corresponds to ±0.05% FSR error, critical for accurate multi-channel calibration. |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.25V - supports direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level-shifting or regulation overhead. |
| Power Dissipation | 3.2–5mW at 2.7V / 100kHz - enables >100-hour operation on coin-cell batteries in low-duty-cycle data logging. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable environmental conditions without derating. |
Pinout & Package
ADS8345N/1K is packaged in SSOP-20 (DB package), a 0.65mm pitch, 7.2mm × 5.3mm surface-mount package with gull-wing leads. Pinout is identical to ADS8344 and ADS7844 per TI SBAS177C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH0–CH7 | Analog input channels | Eight configurable inputs; selected via A2–A0 bits and SGL/DIF control-supports either single-ended (vs COM) or differential (pairwise) acquisition. |
| COM | Common-mode reference | Typically tied to VREF or VCC/2; establishes DC bias point for all single-ended channels and common-mode voltage for differential pairs. |
| VREF | Reference voltage input | Unbuffered input accepting 0.5V–VCC/2; sets full-scale range (±VREF); LSB = VREF/65536 determines effective resolution floor. |
| +VCC (Pins 12, 20) | Power supply | Dual power pins reduce IR drop and improve PSRR; supports 2.7V–5.25V operation with 1.2–2.0mA quiescent current. |
| GND (Pins 13, 14) | Analog/digital ground | Separate ground pins minimize coupling between analog sampling and digital switching noise. |
| SHDN | Shutdown control | Active-low input; pulls device into <15µW standby, retaining configuration state-enables rapid wake-up for burst-mode acquisition. |
| CS | Chip select | Active-low enable for serial interface; places DOUT and BUSY in high-impedance when deasserted-allows multi-device bus sharing. |
| DIN/DOUT/DCLK/BUSY | Serial interface signals | 4-wire SPI-compatible I/O; BUSY indicates conversion progress; DOUT is edge-aligned to DCLK falling edge for deterministic timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Onboard 8-channel analog multiplexer | Reduces external signal conditioning components; eliminates need for external MUX ICs or relays in multi-sensor systems. |
| Bipolar input range (±VREF) | Enables direct digitization of AC-coupled or centered sensor outputs (e.g., strain gauges, accelerometers) without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Pin-for-pin compatibility with ADS7844/ADS8344 | Allows drop-in upgrade path from 12-bit to 16-bit resolution while reusing existing PCB layout and firmware interface logic. |
| Internal clock mode (PD1=1, PD0=0) | Decouples conversion timing from host processor clock-simplifies firmware, improves noise immunity, and enables variable readout intervals. |
| Low-power shutdown (<15µW) | Extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications (e.g., environmental monitors) without requiring power sequencing or reset recovery. |
Applications
| Portable Data Acquisition | Industrial Sensor Monitoring |

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 | 12-bit resolution, same SSOP-20 package and pinout; lower INL (±2 LSB), higher throughput (200kHz). | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-accuracy systems where 12-bit resolution suffices (e.g., basic panel meters). | Select ADS8344N only if resolution requirement is ≤12 bits and higher speed justifies reduced dynamic performance. |
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit, single-channel, 100kSPS, TSSOP-16; lacks internal MUX, requires external signal routing. | Suitable for dedicated single-signal paths (e.g., precision voltage reference monitoring) with minimal board space. | Choose ADS8325IPW when channel count is ≤1 and layout area is constrained-avoid when multi-channel consolidation is needed. |
Compared with ADS8344N and ADS8325IPW, the ADS8345N/1K uniquely combines 16-bit resolution, 8-channel MUX, and pin compatibility with legacy 12-bit designs-making it optimal for upgrading existing data loggers without PCB revision while maintaining system-level accuracy and channel density.

FAQ
What is the maximum conversion rate supported by the ADS8345N/1K?
The ADS8345N/1K supports a maximum throughput rate of 100kHz, achieved with a 2.4MHz external clock (fDCLK = 24 × fSAMPLE). At this rate, each conversion completes in 24 clock cycles, and the device draws 3.2–5mW depending on supply voltage. Performance remains specified across the full –40°C to +85°C range.
Does the ADS8345N/1K require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS8345N/1K requires an external reference voltage applied to the VREF pin. It accepts 0.5V to VCC/2 (e.g., 1.25V at 2.7V supply, 2.5V at 5V supply), and this reference directly defines the full-scale input range (±VREF). The reference input is unbuffered and draws up to 40µA, so a low-output-impedance source is recommended.
How does the ADS8345N/1K handle single-ended versus differential input configurations?
The ADS8345N/1K configures input mode via the SGL/DIF bit in the 24-bit control word. In single-ended mode (SGL/DIF = HIGH), each CHx input is referenced to the COM pin. In differential mode (SGL/DIF = LOW), pairs like CH0/CH4 form true differential inputs. Both modes support the same ±VREF full-scale span but differ in common-mode rejection and noise immunity.
Is the ADS8345N/1K pin-compatible with other TI ADCs?
Yes, the ADS8345N/1K is explicitly pin-for-pin compatible with the ADS7844 (12-bit) and ADS8344 (12-bit), sharing identical SSOP-20 pinout, signal naming, and control protocol. This allows hardware reuse and firmware migration paths when upgrading resolution from 12-bit to 16-bit without PCB redesign.
What power-saving features does the ADS8345N/1K offer for battery-operated systems?
The ADS8345N/1K provides two low-power mechanisms: (1) SHDN pin asserts hardware shutdown drawing <15µW, and (2) auto power-down mode (PD1=PD0=0) disables internal circuitry between conversions. Quiescent current drops to 3µA in power-down mode, extending battery life in intermittent-sampling applications.
