Product details
Overview
ADS8578SIPM from Texas Instruments is a 14-bit, 8-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with integrated analog front-end, ±10 V/±5 V bipolar input support on single 5-V supply, 200 kSPS per channel throughput, and on-chip 2.5-V reference. It targets high-accuracy industrial data acquisition in protection relays and power grid monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8578SIPM datasheet, ADS8578SIPM pinout, ADS8578SIPM application, or ADS8578SIPM equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and dynamic performance at –40°C to +125°C, and real-world interface timing for parallel/serial/byte modes - all aligned to SBAS825 production data.
Technical Context
The ADS8578SIPM implements eight independent, fully matched analog signal chains - each with 1-MΩ input impedance, overvoltage clamp (7-kV ESD), 3rd-order LPF, PGA, and ADC driver - enabling true simultaneous sampling across all channels without inter-channel crosstalk (–95 dB isolation). Its SAR architecture delivers zero-latency conversions with no pipeline delay.
Digital control includes three oversampling mode pins (OS0–OS2), dual conversion start inputs (CONVSTA/CONVSTB), and flexible interface selection via PAR/SER/BYTE SEL, supporting parallel (16-bit DB[15:0]), serial (DOUTA/DOUTB), and byte-mode readback - all synchronized by BUSY and FRSTDATA signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit SAR with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and deterministic full-scale accuracy. |
| Sampling Rate | 200 kSPS per channel, simultaneous across all 8 inputs - enables real-time waveform capture at 1 µs acquisition time. |
| Input Range | Pin-programmable ±10 V or ±5 V bipolar - supports direct connection to CT/PT sensors without external level-shifting. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.2 LSB integral and differential nonlinearity - ensures <0.003% end-point linearity error over temperature. |
| SNR / THD | 85.8 dB SNR (4× oversampling), –109 dB THD - meets Class 0.1 accuracy requirements for IEC 61850-9-2 compliant systems. |
| Reference | On-chip 2.5-V low-drift reference (7.5 ppm/°C) with buffered 4.0-V ADC reference voltage - eliminates external REF IC and reduces BOM count. |

Pinout & Package
ADS8578SIPM is housed in a 64-pin LQFP package (10.00 mm × 10.00 mm), RoHS-compliant, with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per TI SBAS825 datasheet Figure 6 and Pin Functions table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN_1P to AIN_8P AIN_1GND to AIN_8GND |
Analog input differential pairs (8 channels) | True bipolar inputs accepting ±10 V or ±5 V; high 1-MΩ impedance enables direct sensor interfacing without buffer amplifiers. |
| CONVSTA / CONVSTB | Conversion start control inputs | Independent active-high triggers for first/second half of 8-channel set - enables staggered or synchronized sampling sequences. |
| DB[15:0], DOUTA, DOUTB | Digital data outputs | 16-bit parallel output (DB[15:0]) or dual serial streams (DOUTA/DOUTB) - supports FPGA, DSP, or microcontroller host interfaces with configurable timing. |
| PAR/SER/BYTE SEL RANGE OS0–OS2 |
Interface and function configuration inputs | Selects parallel/serial/byte mode; sets input range; configures 1×/2×/4× oversampling - all static logic-level controls, no I²C/SPI required. |
| BUSY / FRSTDATA | Status and synchronization outputs | BUSY indicates active conversion; FRSTDATA pulses high on valid Channel 1 data - enables deterministic DMA triggering and channel-aligned readout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated analog front-end per channel | Each of 8 channels includes clamp, 3rd-order LPF, PGA, and driver - eliminates 8× external signal conditioning circuits and matching components. |
| Single-supply bipolar operation | Accepts ±10 V inputs using only 5-V AVDD - removes need for dual ±12-V supplies and associated regulators, reducing system cost and board area. |
| On-chip digital oversampling filter | Configurable 1×/2×/4× oversampling improves SNR by up to 1.3 dB and reduces external anti-aliasing filter complexity. |
| 7-kV ESD input protection | Robust clamping on all analog inputs - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for field-deployed equipment without external TVS diodes. |
| Flexible digital interface | Hardware-selectable parallel (16-bit), serial (2-wire), or byte-mode (8-bit ×2) - simplifies integration with legacy 8-bit MCUs or high-speed FPGAs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-accuracy, multi-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8588SIPM | 16-bit resolution, same 8-channel simultaneous architecture, identical pinout and interface - but higher 200-kSPS throughput with improved SNR (89 dB). | Required where Class 0.05 metering or high-fidelity oscilloscope-grade waveform capture is mandated. | Select ADS8588SIPM when 16-bit resolution and lower quantization noise are critical; ADS8578SIPM remains optimal for cost-sensitive 14-bit Class 0.1 systems. |
| AD7606C-16BSTZ | 16-bit, 8-channel, simultaneous SAR ADC from Analog Devices; uses 2.5-V external reference, requires external ±15-V supplies for ±10-V input range. | Suitable for lab-grade instrumentation where external supply rails are available; lacks integrated reference and overvoltage clamp. | Choose AD7606C-16BSTZ only if existing design already uses ±15-V rails and external reference infrastructure; ADS8578SIPM offers superior integration for new 5-V-only designs. |
Compared with ADS8578SIPM, ADS8588SIPM delivers 2 extra bits of resolution and 3.2-dB higher SNR at identical speed and packaging, while AD7606C-16BSTZ demands external supplies and reference but offers broader third-party ecosystem support for legacy toolchains.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate per channel for the ADS8578SIPM?
The ADS8578SIPM achieves a maximum throughput of 200 kSPS per channel with simultaneous sampling across all eight inputs. This rate is sustained with full 14-bit accuracy, 85.8-dB SNR (with 4× oversampling), and guaranteed timing margins per SBAS825 Section 7.6–7.11 - making it suitable for real-time protection relay algorithms and high-bandwidth motor control loops.
Does the ADS8578SIPM require external voltage references?
No, the ADS8578SIPM integrates a low-drift 2.5-V internal reference (7.5 ppm/°C) with dedicated REFCAPA/REFCAPB pins for decoupling. When REFSEL = 1, the device uses this internal reference; when REFSEL = 0, it accepts an external 2.475–2.525-V reference on REFIN/REFOUT. The internal option eliminates external reference ICs and associated passive components.
How does the ADS8578SIPM handle bipolar input ranges like ±10 V on a single 5-V supply?
The ADS8578SIPM uses an integrated charge-pump-based level-shifter within its analog front-end to generate internal negative bias rails, enabling true ±10 V or ±5 V differential input operation from a single 5-V AVDD supply. This architecture avoids external op-amp level shifters and maintains 1-MΩ input impedance and 7-kV ESD protection across the full input range.
What interface modes does the ADS8578SIPM support, and how are they selected?
The ADS8578SIPM supports parallel (16-bit DB[15:0]), serial (DOUTA/DOUTB with RD/SCLK), and byte-mode (two 8-bit transfers) interfaces. Selection is controlled by the PAR/SER/BYTE SEL pin (high = parallel, low = serial/byte), with BYTE SEL (DB15) and RD/SCLK behavior determining final mode - all configured via hardwired logic, not register writes.
Is the ADS8578SIPM pin-compatible with other devices in the ADS85xxS family?
Yes, the ADS8578SIPM shares identical 64-pin LQFP packaging, pinout, and interface signaling with ADS8588SIPM, ADS8586SIPM, and ADS8584SIPM. This allows drop-in resolution upgrades (e.g., 14-bit → 16-bit) without PCB redesign - though firmware must accommodate increased data width and updated timing parameters per respective datasheets.
