Product details
Overview
ADS8371IPFBRG4 from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 750-kSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample-and-hold, onboard reference buffer, and flexible 8-/16-bit parallel interface. It delivers ±1.5 LSB max INL, 88 dB SNR, 110 dB SFDR, and operates from 2.7 V to 5.25 V buffer supply over −40°C to +85°C - used in high-accuracy medical instrumentation and optical networking data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8371IPFBRG4 datasheet, ADS8371IPFBRG4 pinout, ADS8371IPFBRG4 application, or ADS8371IPFBRG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include unipolar 0–4.096 V input range, 1.13 µs conversion time, CMOS-compatible digital interface timing, and TQFP-48 package compatibility with ADS8381/ADS8383.
Technical Context
The ADS8371IPFBRG4 implements a capacitor-based SAR architecture with inherent sampling and hold, eliminating need for external sample-and-hold circuitry. Its internal conversion clock enables fixed 750-kSPS throughput without external timing source.
It supports dual-mode parallel output: full 16-bit bus access or 8-bit byte-read mode via BYTE control, with BUSY-driven status signaling and CS/RD-controlled read synchronization. Input stage accepts differential analog signals with −IN limited to −0.2 V to +0.2 V and +IN spanning −0.2 V to VREF + 0.2 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - provides 65,536 discrete output codes for high-fidelity signal digitization |
| Sample Rate | 750 kSPS - enables real-time capture of bandwidths up to 3 MHz (−3 dB small-signal BW) |
| INL (max) | ±1.5 LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.0023% full-scale linearity error across temperature |
| SNR | 88 dB - supports >14.3 effective number of bits (ENOB) at DC–100 kHz input |
| Supply Voltage (VBD) | 2.7 V to 5.25 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Reference Input Range | 2.5 V to 4.2 V - accommodates precision references like REF3040 (4.096 V) or REF3020 (2.048 V) |
| Power Dissipation | 130 mW at 750 kSPS - enables thermally constrained industrial and portable instrumentation designs |
Pinout & Package
ADS8371IPFBRG4 is housed in a 48-pin TQFP (PFB) package with exposed thermal pad, rated for −40°C to +85°C industrial operation. Pin assignments follow TI's standard PFB top-view layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +IN / −IN | Differential analog input | +IN accepts 0–4.096 V unipolar; −IN serves as common-mode reference (−0.2 V to +0.2 V), enabling rejection of shared noise |
| REFIN / REFM | Reference voltage input / return | REFIN accepts 2.5–4.2 V external reference; REFM is dedicated low-noise ground return, requiring separate AGND routing |
| CONVST | Convert start trigger | Falling-edge initiates acquisition-to-hold transition; minimum pulse width 40 ns; jitter ≤10 ps ensures timing stability |
| BUSY | Status output | Active-high open-drain signal indicates conversion in progress; duration = 1.13 µs, usable as interrupt to host controller |
| CS / RD / BYTE | Control interface inputs | CS enables acquisition; RD latches data onto DB[15:0]; BYTE selects 8-bit (folded) or 16-bit bus mode - all CMOS-level compatible |
| DB[15:0] | Parallel data outputs | Three-state CMOS outputs deliver straight binary code; 16-bit format default; BYTE=1 enables 8-bit sequential reads of MSB/LSB bytes |
| +VA / +VBD / AGND / BDGND | Power and ground terminals | +VA (5 V analog) and +VBD (2.7–5.25 V digital buffer) require independent decoupling; AGND/BGDGND separation preserves dynamic performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Onboard reference buffer | Eliminates need for external op-amp buffer; supports direct connection of low-current references (e.g., REF3040) with only 0.1 µF decoupling |
| Flexible 8-/16-bit interface | Reduces host bus width requirements: 8-bit microcontrollers access full 16-bit result in two cycles using BYTE control and RD strobe |
| Low aperture jitter (15 ps) | Enables high SFDR (110 dB) and SNR (88 dB) at 100 kHz input - critical for magnetometer and transducer signal fidelity |
| No missing codes | Guaranteed monotonic transfer function across full 16-bit range, essential for closed-loop control and calibration systems |
| Direct pin compatibility | Swappable with ADS8381 and ADS8383 in same TQFP-48 footprint - simplifies design reuse and migration paths |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed precision ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8381IPFB | Same 16-bit SAR architecture, identical pinout and timing; higher max INL (±2.5 LSB) and lower SNR (87 dB) | Suitable where cost sensitivity outweighs need for best-in-class linearity; retains same PCB layout and firmware interface | Select when system-level linearity budget allows ±2.5 LSB INL and 87 dB SNR - no hardware changes required |
| ADS8364IPFBR | 6-channel simultaneous-sampling variant; 16-bit, 500 kSPS per channel; different pinout and control protocol (no BYTE pin) | Required for multi-phase motor control or vibration analysis where phase coherence across channels is mandatory | Choose only when simultaneous sampling across ≥2 analog inputs is required - new layout and driver software needed |
Compared with ADS8381IPFB, ADS8371IPFBRG4 offers tighter linearity and higher SNR at same speed; versus ADS8364IPFBR, it provides single-channel optimization with simpler interface and lower power, but lacks multi-channel sync capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended reference voltage for ADS8371IPFBRG4?
The ADS8371IPFBRG4 supports an external reference voltage range of 2.5 V to 4.2 V at the REFIN pin. The typical operating point is 4.096 V (e.g., using REF3040), which aligns with its 0–4.096 V unipolar input span. Exceeding 4.2 V risks violating absolute maximum ratings and degrading INL performance.
Does ADS8371IPFBRG4 require an external conversion clock?
No, ADS8371IPFBRG4 does not require an external conversion clock. It uses an internally generated clock that sustains a fixed 750-kSPS throughput. The only required digital control signals are CONVST (to initiate conversion), BUSY (to monitor status), and CS/RD/BYTE (for data readout).
How is the 8-bit interface mode enabled on ADS8371IPFBRG4?
The 8-bit interface mode on ADS8371IPFBRG4 is enabled by driving the BYTE pin high. When BYTE = 1, the 16-bit result is delivered in two consecutive 8-bit reads: first RD cycle outputs DB[7:0] (LSB byte), second outputs DB[15:8] (MSB byte), with DB[15:8] appearing on DB[7:0] pins during the second cycle.
What is the purpose of separate AGND and BDGND pins on ADS8371IPFBRG4?
ADS8371IPFBRG4 features separate analog ground (AGND) and digital buffer ground (BDGND) pins to isolate noise-sensitive analog circuitry from digital switching transients. AGND connects to the analog signal chain and reference ground; BDGND returns digital I/O current from the +VBD supply - mixing them degrades SNR and SFDR.
Can ADS8371IPFBRG4 interface directly with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes, ADS8371IPFBRG4 can interface directly with a 3.3 V microcontroller: its +VBD supply accepts 2.7–5.25 V, and all digital I/O (CS, RD, BYTE, DB[15:0], BUSY) are CMOS-compatible with 3.3 V logic levels. Ensure BDGND is tied to the microcontroller's digital ground and +VBD is supplied from the same 3.3 V rail.
