Product details
Overview
ADS8528SRGCT from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 8-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR analog-to-digital converter with true bipolar ±12 V input capability, 73.9 dB SNR, –89 dB THD, and 650 kSPS parallel interface data rate - deployed in protection relays and power quality analyzers requiring synchronized multi-channel acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8528SRGCT datasheet, ADS8528SRGCT pinout, ADS8528SRGCT application, or ADS8528SRGCT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated VQFN-64 pin mapping, thermal performance at –40°C to +125°C, and real-world implementation guidance for industrial data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The ADS8528SRGCT implements eight independent SAR ADC cores grouped into four channel pairs (A–D), each supporting simultaneous sampling triggered by dedicated CONVST_x inputs. Its internal programmable reference DAC (10-bit, 0.5–2.5 V or 0.5–3.0 V) enables configurable full-scale ranges of ±2×VREF or ±4×VREF via hardware RANGE pin or software CONFIG register bits.
It supports dual-mode digital interfacing: 16-bit parallel bus (with CS, RD, WR, PAR/SER control) or daisy-chainable SPI-compatible serial interface (SCLK, SDI, SDO_A–D, FS), with auto-sleep mode reducing power to 32 mW at 10 kSPS. All timing and conversion logic is fully specified across –40°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR architecture - delivers 1 LSB = 0.0244% of full-scale range, sufficient for Class 0.2 metering and relay trip threshold detection. |
| Max Data Rate (Parallel) | 650 kSPS per channel - supports 1.6 μs conversion time for all 8 channels simultaneously, enabling 625 ns inter-channel sampling skew control. |
| Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 73.9 dB (typ) at 25°C - corresponds to effective resolution of ~12.0 bits, validated over –40°C to +125°C with <0.3 dB degradation. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | –89 dB (typ) - ensures <0.0035% THD+N, critical for accurate harmonic analysis in power quality monitoring. |
| Analog Input Range | ±12 V maximum - achieved using HVDD = 15 V / HVSS = –15 V supplies and internal reference scaling, eliminating external signal conditioning for most industrial sensors. |
| Reference Flexibility | Programmable 10-bit internal DAC (0.5–2.5 V or 0.5–3.0 V) - allows dynamic full-scale adjustment without external components, supporting ±2 VREF or ±4 VREF input configurations. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - fully characterized across this range for junction temperatures, with RθJA = 22°C/W (VQFN-64), enabling convection-cooled industrial enclosure deployment. |
Pinout & Package
ADS8528SRGCT is housed in a 64-pin VQFN package (9.0 mm × 9.0 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin functions are validated per TI SBAS543C Rev C (February 2016), supporting both hardware- and software-configurable operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH_A0, CH_A1 | Analog input pair A | Master channel pair; always active and sets timing baseline for all other pairs when used at differing data rates. |
| CONVST_A–D | Dedicated conversion start inputs | Independent rising-edge triggers enable flexible staggered or fully synchronous sampling across 4 channel groups. |
| DB0–DB15/SDO_A–D | Parallel data I/O or serial daisy-chain outputs | Configurable 16-bit parallel bus or up to four independent serial outputs (SDO_A–D) for multi-device synchronization. |
| RANGE/XCLK | Hardware range select or clock I/O | In hardware mode: selects ±2×VREF (high) or ±4×VREF (low); in software mode: serves as external clock input or internal clock output. |
| REFIO, REFN | Reference voltage I/O | Internal reference output (REFIO) and negative reference return (REFN) support buffered ±2.5 V or ±3.0 V reference generation with 10 ppm/°C drift. |
| HVDD, HVSS | Analog input supply rails | Separate high-voltage supplies (–16.5 V to +16.5 V) isolate precision analog front-end from digital noise and enable ±12 V input swing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous 8-channel sampling | Four independent CONVST_x inputs allow deterministic, sub-100 ps aperture matching across all channels - essential for vector measurements in three-phase power systems. |
| Programmable internal reference DAC | 10-bit resolution (0.5–2.5 V or 0.5–3.0 V range) enables runtime full-scale calibration and sensor range adaptation without external DAC or op-amps. |
| Selectably buffered reference outputs | REFBUFEN pin or CONFIG bit C14 controls on-chip buffer enable - eliminates need for external op-amp buffers while maintaining <10 ppm/°C drift and ±0.1% gain error. |
| Auto-sleep low-power mode | Reduces total power to 32 mW at 10 kSPS - cuts idle consumption by >85% versus continuous operation, extending thermal headroom in dense PCB layouts. |
| Dual-interface flexibility (PAR/SER) | Single pin (PAR/SER) selects between 16-bit parallel bus (650 kSPS) or daisy-chainable serial interface (480 kSPS) - simplifies migration between throughput- and pin-count-constrained designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8548SRGCT | 14-bit resolution, 600 kSPS (PAR), 85 dB SNR, –91 dB THD - higher precision but 8% lower max throughput. | Better suited for harmonic analysis requiring >13 ENOB; less optimal where 12-bit resolution suffices and board space/power budget is constrained. | Select ADS8548SRGCT only when system-level accuracy demands >0.025% full-scale linearity or >70 dB spurious-free dynamic range. |
| AD7606BSTZ | 16-bit, 200 kSPS (PAR), ±10 V input, internal 2.5 V ref - lower throughput, fixed reference, no ±12 V support. | Targeted at lower-speed, high-precision lab instrumentation; lacks HVDD/HVSS rails and programmable reference DAC. | Choose AD7606BSTZ for cost-sensitive, non-industrial applications where ±10 V range and 200 kSPS suffice and thermal range is limited to –40°C to +85°C. |
Compared with ADS8548SRGCT and AD7606BSTZ, the ADS8528SRGCT uniquely balances 650 kSPS throughput, ±12 V input flexibility, and 32 mW ultra-low idle power - making it the optimal choice for thermally constrained, high-channel-count industrial controllers needing deterministic real-time response.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input voltage range supported by the ADS8528SRGCT?
The ADS8528SRGCT supports a maximum analog input voltage range of ±12 V, achieved using HVDD = +15 V and HVSS = –15 V supplies with internal reference scaling. This is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated across –40°C to +125°C in the Recommended Operating Conditions section of the SBAS543C datasheet. The ADS8528SRGCT achieves this range without external level-shifting circuitry.
Does the ADS8528SRGCT require an external reference voltage?
No, the ADS8528SRGCT does not require an external reference voltage. It integrates a programmable 10-bit internal DAC that generates a stable 0.5–2.5 V or 0.5–3.0 V reference, configurable via hardware pins or the CONFIG register. External reference use is optional and enabled only when REFEN/WR is low in hardware mode or CONFIG bit C15 = 0 - the ADS8528SRGCT operates fully functional with internal reference alone.
What package type is used for the ADS8528SRGCT?
The ADS8528SRGCT uses a 64-pin VQFN package (RGC suffix) measuring 9.0 mm × 9.0 mm with 0.5 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This is explicitly stated in the Device Information table and Pin Configuration diagrams of the SBAS543C datasheet. The LQFP variant (PM package) is a separate orderable part (e.g., ADS8528SPM), not applicable to the SRGCT suffix.
Can the ADS8528SRGCT perform true simultaneous sampling across all eight channels?
Yes, the ADS8528SRGCT performs true simultaneous sampling across all eight channels using its four dedicated CONVST_A–D inputs. When all four signals are asserted synchronously, the device initiates conversions on all channel pairs within <100 ps aperture delay matching - a specification verified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Aperture delay matching" and confirmed in the Functional Block Diagram and Timing Requirements sections of SBAS543C.
What is the power consumption of the ADS8528SRGCT at 650 kSPS?
At its maximum parallel interface data rate of 650 kSPS, the ADS8528SRGCT consumes 125 mW (typical) when powered with AVDD = 5 V, DVDD = 3.3 V, HVDD = 15 V, and HVSS = –15 V - as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Power Dissipation" (Section 7.6). This value includes all analog and digital circuitry and is measured across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range.
