Product details
Overview
ADS8568SRGCR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 8-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with true bipolar inputs, 91.5 dB SNR, –94 dB THD, and 510 kSPS parallel / 400 kSPS serial data rate-designed for high-accuracy industrial power monitoring and protection relay signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8568SRGCR datasheet, ADS8568SRGCR pinout, ADS8568SRGCR application, or ADS8568SRGCR equivalent, key selection considerations include simultaneous sampling across four channel pairs, ±12 V input support via programmable reference, auto-sleep mode (32 mW at 10 kSPS), and dual 64-pin VQFN/LQFP packaging with extended –40°C to +125°C operation.
Technical Context
The ADS8568SRGCR implements eight independent SAR cores grouped into four synchronized channel pairs (A–D), each supporting true bipolar analog inputs up to ±12 V via internal 2.5-V/3.0-V reference with 10-bit DAC tuning. Conversion is initiated per pair using dedicated CONVST_A–D signals, enabling flexible staggered or fully simultaneous acquisition.
It supports both parallel (16-bit bidirectional bus) and serial (daisy-chainable SPI-compatible) interfaces, with hardware/software mode selection (HW/SW pin), configurable RANGE control per channel pair, and register-based configuration of reference buffers, standby, and clock sources-enabling precise system-level timing and power management in multi-channel isolation architectures.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit-guarantees 1 LSB = 15.3 µV full-scale step size for ±10 V input range. |
| Max Data Rate (PAR/SER) | 510 / 400 kSPS per channel-supports real-time waveform capture at 50/60 Hz power systems with >8 samples per cycle. |
| Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 91.5 dB typ-enables >15-bit effective resolution in noise-sensitive protection relay applications. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | –94 dB typ-ensures clean spectral representation for harmonic analysis up to 50th order. |
| Input Voltage Range | ±12 V max-compatible with standard industrial CT/PT sensor outputs without external scaling. |

| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C-fully specified for harsh environments including outdoor substations and motor drive cabinets. |
Pinout & Package
ADS8568SRGCR is packaged in a 64-pin VQFN (9.0 mm × 9.0 mm) with exposed thermal pad, optimized for low-inductance analog grounding and thermal dissipation in high-density industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CH_A0, CH_A1 | Analog input pair A | Master channel pair; must run at highest data rate when channel pairs operate asynchronously. |
| CONVST_A–D | Digital conversion trigger inputs | Rising-edge–sensitive; enables per-pair or fully synchronous sampling across all 8 channels. |
| REFIO, REFN | Reference voltage I/O | Configurable 2.5-V/3.0-V output or external reference input; supports ±12 V input scaling. |
| DB0–DB15 / SDO_A–SDO_D | Parallel data bus or serial daisy-chain outputs | 16-bit bidirectional parallel interface or 4-channel serial outputs with selectable SDO routing. |
| ASLEEP, STBY | Power management controls | Auto-sleep reduces power to 32 mW at 10 kSPS; STBY fully powers down reference and clocks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous sampling across 4 channel pairs | Eliminates phase skew between current/voltage measurements in power quality analyzers and protection relays. |
| Programmable internal reference (0.5–3.0 V) | Enables system-level calibration without external DACs or precision resistors-reducing BOM count and layout area. |

Use Value: Auto-sleep mode reduces average power consumption below 50 mW-extending uptime in battery-backed or energy-harvested PLC modules. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8548SRGCR | 14-bit resolution, 85 dB SNR, 600/450 kSPS PAR/SER-lower noise floor and higher speed but reduced dynamic range. | Better suited for cost-sensitive motor control where 14-bit resolution suffices and higher throughput is needed. | Select when system SNR requirement is ≤85 dB and design prioritizes speed over ultimate precision. |
| AD7606BSTZ | 16-bit, 200 kSPS, on-chip 2.5-V reference, no internal DAC tuning-simpler configuration but fixed reference and lower throughput. | Ideal for space-constrained PLC analog input modules where daisy-chain simplicity outweighs sampling speed needs. | Choose when board area is critical and simultaneous sampling at >200 kSPS is not required. |
Compared with ADS8548SRGCR and AD7606BSTZ, the ADS8568SRGCR provides the highest SNR (91.5 dB) and widest programmable reference range (0.5–3.0 V), making it optimal for metrology-grade applications demanding both precision and flexibility-though at higher power and interface complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported analog input voltage range for ADS8568SRGCR?
The ADS8568SRGCR supports true bipolar analog inputs up to ±12 V, achieved through its programmable internal reference (0.5–3.0 V) and RANGE pin or CONFIG register control. This allows direct interfacing with standard current transformers (CTs) and potential transformers (PTs) without external signal conditioning. The device maintains full 16-bit performance across this range when operated within recommended HVDD/HVSS supply limits (–16.5 V to +16.5 V).
Does ADS8568SRGCR support daisy-chained serial communication?
Yes, ADS8568SRGCR supports daisy-chained serial communication via its DB0–DB3 pins (DCIN_D/C/B/A) and SDO_A–SDO_D outputs. When DCEN = 1 and SEL_B/SEL_CD bits are configured, multiple ADS8568SRGCR devices can be cascaded on a single SPI bus, reducing digital routing complexity in multi-channel systems. Each device's SDO output feeds the next device's DCIN input, with frame synchronization managed by the FS pin.
How does the auto-sleep mode function in ADS8568SRGCR?
In ADS8568SRGCR, auto-sleep mode is enabled by driving the ASLEEP pin high. After a CONVST_x pulse, the device enters hold mode six conversion clock cycles later, reducing power consumption to 32 mW at 10 kSPS. This mode preserves configuration state and reference stability while minimizing idle current-ideal for intermittent sampling in battery-powered or thermally constrained industrial sensors. Exit is automatic upon next CONVST assertion.
What package options are available for ADS8568SRGCR?
The ADS8568SRGCR is offered exclusively in the 64-pin VQFN package (RGC suffix), measuring 9.0 mm × 9.0 mm with an exposed thermal pad. While the broader ADS85x8 family also includes a 64-pin LQFP option (PM package), the SRGCR variant is qualified only in VQFN-optimized for thermal performance and high-density PCB layouts in industrial control modules and metering equipment.
Can ADS8568SRGCR operate with an external reference instead of the internal one?
Yes, ADS8568SRGCR can operate with an external reference applied to the REFIO pin. When the REFEN/WR pin is held low (hardware mode) or CONFIG bit C15 = 0 (software mode), the internal reference is disabled and REFIO becomes a high-impedance input accepting 0.5–3.025 V. External references must meet specified input resistance (>100 MΩ), capacitance (<470 nF), and current sourcing requirements to maintain accuracy and stability across temperature.
