Product details
Overview
ADS8406IBPFBT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 1.25 MSPS pseudo-bipolar fully differential SAR analog-to-digital converter with internal 4.096-V reference, parallel 16-/8-bit interface, and zero-latency operation. It delivers ±1 LSB DNL max, 90 dB SNR at 100 kHz, and operates over –40°C to +85°C in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8406IBPFBT datasheet, ADS8406IBPFBT pinout, ADS8406IBPFBT application, or ADS8406IBPFBT equivalent, key selection criteria include its pseudo-bipolar input range (–2 V to +2 V), 650 ns conversion time, 48-pin TQFP package, and compatibility with 3 V or 5 V digital I/O supplies.
Technical Context
The ADS8406IBPFBT implements a capacitor-based successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with inherent sample-and-hold, enabling true zero-latency conversion. Its fully differential pseudo-bipolar input accepts ±2 V spans referenced to internal 4.096 V, with input common-mode range of –0.2 V to VREF + 0.2 V.
Timing is controlled by an internal oscillator-no external clock required. Conversion is initiated by CONVST falling edge while CS is low, with BUSY indicating active conversion. Data is output in 2's complement format via parallel DB[15:0] bus, configurable for 16-bit or two-cycle 8-bit reads using BYTE control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full temperature range. |
| Throughput Rate | 1.25 MSPS-supports real-time sampling of high-bandwidth signals up to 5 MHz small-signal bandwidth. |
| INL / DNL | ±2 LSB / +1.25, –1 LSB max-ensures accurate amplitude fidelity in precision instrumentation and transducer interfaces. |
| SNR / THD | 90 dB / –95 dB at 100 kHz-enables high-fidelity digitization of low-distortion analog waveforms in communications and medical instruments. |
| Conversion Time | 650 ns typ-defines minimum inter-conversion interval and enables deterministic timing in synchronous acquisition systems. |
| Reference | Internal 4.096 V ±0.75% (4.065–4.13 V)-provides stable, calibrated scaling without external components; REFIN accepts 2.5–4.2 V external references. |
| Power Dissipation | 155 mW typ at 1.25 MSPS-achieves high resolution and speed while maintaining micro-power efficiency for thermally constrained designs. |
Pinout & Package
ADS8406IBPFBT is housed in a 48-pin TQFP (PFB) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per TI SLAS426A datasheet Rev. December 2004.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| +IN / –IN | Differential analog input | Accepts pseudo-bipolar fully differential signal; input span limited to –VREF to +VREF (–2 V to +2 V). |
| CONVST | Convert start trigger | Falling-edge initiates hold mode; jitter ≤10 ps preserves aperture accuracy for high-SNR performance. |
| BUSY | Status output | Active-high during conversion (min 610 ns high pulse); used for interrupt-driven or polling-based read synchronization. |
| CS / RD | Chip select / read strobe | Both must be low to enable 3-state DB[15:0] bus; supports asynchronous or auto-read modes depending on tie-off configuration. |
| BYTE | Bus width selector | Low = 16-bit output on DB[15:0]; high = first read returns MSB on DB[15:8], second read returns LSB on same pins. |
| REFIN / REFOUT / REFM | Reference interface | REFIN accepts internal or external reference; REFOUT sources internal 4.096 V; REFM is reference ground (dual pins for low-impedance return). |
| +VA / +VBD / AGND / BDGND | Power & ground domains | +VA (5 V) powers analog core; +VBD (2.7–5.25 V) powers digital interface; separate AGND/BDGND prevents noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-latency SAR architecture | Eliminates pipeline delay-output reflects instantaneous sampled value, critical for closed-loop control and real-time feedback. |
| Pseudo-bipolar fully differential input | Supports true differential signaling with common-mode rejection >80 dB at 1 MHz, rejecting noise in noisy industrial environments. |
| Configurable 16-/8-bit parallel interface | Reduces host MCU bus width requirements without sacrificing throughput-enables legacy 8-bit microcontroller integration. |
| Internal 4.096-V reference with 36 ppm/°C drift | Removes need for external precision reference IC and associated layout complexity; simplifies BOM and calibration. |
| Single 5-V analog supply, wide digital I/O range | Operates with +VA = 4.75–5.25 V and +VBD = 2.7–5.25 V-allows direct interfacing to 3.3-V or 5-V logic without level shifters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8412IPFBT | Same 48-pin TQFP package and pinout; 16-bit, 2 MSPS, ±2 LSB INL, but requires external reference and has higher 200 mW power. | Higher throughput suits wider bandwidth test equipment; lacks integrated reference, increasing BOM and layout complexity. | Select when >1.25 MSPS is mandatory and external reference infrastructure already exists. |
| ADS8402IPFBT | Pin-compatible 48-pin TQFP; 16-bit, 500 kSPS, ±1 LSB DNL, 85 dB SNR, 100 mW-lower speed, lower noise floor, lower power. | Better suited for battery-powered portable instruments where SNR > throughput; insufficient for real-time 1.25 MSPS streaming. | Select when system sampling rate ≤500 kSPS and ultra-low power or superior SNR is prioritized over speed. |
Compared with ADS8406IBPFBT, ADS8412IPFBT trades integrated reference and lower power for higher speed, while ADS8402IPFBT offers better SNR and lower power at reduced throughput-making ADS8406IBPFBT the optimal balance of speed, integration, and precision for industrial DAQ.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed no-missing-codes resolution of the ADS8406IBPFBT?
The ADS8406IBPFBT guarantees 16-bit no-missing-codes operation across its full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. This is explicitly specified in the datasheet under "SYSTEM PERFORMANCE" as "ADS8406IB - 16 Bits" with "No missing codes" resolution, ensuring monotonic behavior and full code coverage without gaps.
Does the ADS8406IBPFBT require an external clock source?
No, the ADS8406IBPFBT does not require an external clock. It uses an internal oscillator to generate the conversion clock, enabling a fixed 1.25 MSPS throughput with 650 ns typical conversion time. This eliminates clock routing, jitter concerns, and external component dependencies-simplifying system design and improving timing robustness.
How is the internal 4.096-V reference configured on the ADS8406IBPFBT?
To use the internal reference on the ADS8406IBPFBT, connect REFOUT (Pin 2) to REFIN (Pin 1) with a 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor, and place a 1-µF storage capacitor between REFOUT and REFM (Pins 47–48). The internal reference is double-buffered and provides 4.096 V ±0.75% with 36 ppm/°C drift-no external components beyond these capacitors are needed.
Can the ADS8406IBPFBT interface directly with a 3.3-V microcontroller?
Yes, the ADS8406IBPFBT supports direct interfacing with 3.3-V microcontrollers. Its +VBD supply accepts 2.7 V to 5.25 V, and digital I/O thresholds (VIH = +VBD – 1 V, VIL = 0.8 V) are compatible with 3.3-V CMOS logic. No level-shifting circuitry is required when +VBD = 3.3 V, simplifying host connectivity and reducing board area.
What is the absolute maximum input voltage range for +IN and –IN on the ADS8406IBPFBT?
The absolute maximum input voltage for +IN and –IN on the ADS8406IBPFBT is –0.4 V to (+VA + 0.1 V), where +VA is the analog supply (typically 5 V). Within recommended operating conditions, each input must stay within –0.2 V to (VREF + 0.2 V) = 4.296 V, and their differential span must remain within –VREF to +VREF (–4.096 V to +4.096 V), though the usable pseudo-bipolar range is –2 V to +2 V.
