Product details
Overview
ADS8634SRGET from Texas Instruments is a 12-bit, 4-channel, bipolar-input SAR analog-to-digital converter with software-selectable input ranges (±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, 0–10V, 0–5V), 1MSPS throughput, integrated multiplexer, internal 2.5V reference, temperature sensor, and digital comparator - used in industrial PLC analog input modules for high-voltage sensor signal digitization.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8634SRGET datasheet, ADS8634SRGET pinout, ADS8634SRGET application, or ADS8634SRGET equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, QFN-24 package layout, real-world industrial use cases, and validated alternative parts for precision analog acquisition systems requiring extended temperature operation (–40°C to +125°C) and ±12V input support with external reference.
Technical Context
The ADS8634SRGET employs a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with no conversion latency and a sample-and-hold front-end optimized for high-impedance industrial sensor interfaces. Its 4-channel analog multiplexer supports independent range selection per channel via SPI configuration.
It integrates a 2.5V internal voltage reference (±1.2% initial accuracy, 20ppm/°C drift), an on-chip temperature sensor (±5% FSR accuracy), and per-channel digital comparators with programmable alarm thresholds - enabling autonomous over-range detection without host processor intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across all operating conditions. |
| Sampling Rate | 1 MSPS maximum throughput - supports closed-loop control and high-speed data logging at microsecond-scale timing. |
| Input Ranges | Software-selectable ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, 0–10V, 0–5V - eliminates external gain/attenuation circuitry for multi-sensor systems. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.9 LSB / +0.9/–0.5 LSB - ensures <0.02% linearity error for precision measurement in process control transmitters. |
| SNR | 71.8 dB at 1 kHz - enables >11.6 effective number of bits (ENOB) for accurate representation of low-amplitude signals. |
| Supply Voltages | HVDD/HVSS = ±10V to ±15V; AVDD = 2.7–5.25V; DVDD = 1.65–5.25V - supports direct connection to industrial ±12V rails and low-voltage logic. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive sensors, motor drives, and harsh-environment factory automation. |
Pinout & Package
The ADS8634SRGET is housed in a 4mm × 4mm QFN-24 package with exposed thermal pad (RGE suffix), optimized for compact industrial PCB layouts and thermal dissipation in sealed enclosures.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN3 | Analog input channels | Four differential-capable inputs accepting bipolar/unipolar ranges up to ±10V; referenced to AINGND. |
| AINGND | Analog input ground sense | Common return for all analog inputs; must be routed separately from AGND to minimize crosstalk in noisy environments. |
| AVDD / AGND | Analog power supply | Provides clean analog bias for ADC core and mux; requires local 10µF + 0.1µF decoupling per TI layout guidelines. |
| HVDD / HVSS | High-voltage mux supply | Independent ±10V to ±15V rails powering the input multiplexer - enables true ±12V input capability with external reference. |
| REF / REFGND | Reference interface | Accepts internal 2.5V ref or external reference (2.0–3.0V); REFGND is dedicated decoupling node for reference stability. |
| CS / SCLK / DIN / DOUT | SPI interface | 4-wire SPI-compatible serial interface (mode 0, CPHA=0, CPOL=0); supports daisy-chaining and simultaneous readback of alarm status. |
| AL_PD | Alarm output / Power-down input | Configurable dual-function pin: active-high alarm indicator or active-low asynchronous power-down trigger. |
| DVDD / DGND | Digital I/O supply | 1.65–5.25V logic interface compatible with 1.8V, 3.3V, and 5V microcontrollers - no level-shifting required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency SAR conversion | Eliminates pipeline delay - critical for real-time feedback in servo drives and digital power supplies where deterministic timing is mandatory. |
| Per-channel digital comparator | Reduces host CPU load by autonomously flagging out-of-range events on any input, enabling interrupt-driven fault response. |
| Integrated temperature sensor | Monitors die temperature with ±5% FSR accuracy - supports thermal derating and self-calibration routines without external components. |
| Flexible power-down mode | Reduces total supply current to ≤10 µA (DVDD) and ≤5 µA (HVDD/HVSS) - extends uptime in battery-backed data loggers. |
| Extended industrial temperature range | Guaranteed performance from –40°C to +125°C - avoids derating or thermal throttling in uncooled control cabinets. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog-to-digital conversion applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8638SRGET | 8-channel variant in identical QFN-24 package; shares same resolution, speed, reference, and feature set. | Supports higher channel density without redesign - suitable when system requires >4 analog inputs. | Select ADS8638SRGET only if additional channels are needed; pinout differs for AIN4–AIN7, requiring PCB revision. |
| AD7949BCPZ | 8-channel, 14-bit, 1MSPS SAR ADC with internal reference; lacks HVDD/HVSS rails and ±12V input capability. | Requires external signal conditioning for ±10V inputs; no integrated temperature sensor or per-channel comparator. | Choose AD7949BCPZ for higher resolution where ±12V input range and autonomous alarm features are not required. |
Compared with ADS8638SRGET and AD7949BCPZ, the ADS8634SRGET uniquely balances 4-channel integration, ±12V input support via HVDD/HVSS, and autonomous monitoring features - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial modules needing robustness over raw resolution.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the ADS8634SRGET support?
The ADS8634SRGET supports software-selectable input ranges of ±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, 0–10V, and 0–5V using its internal 2.5V reference. With an external reference up to 3.0V, it can accommodate input spans up to ±12V when paired with appropriate HVDD/HVSS supplies - confirmed in the SBAS541A datasheet Section 1 and Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the ADS8634SRGET require external components for basic operation?
No, the ADS8634SRGET integrates a 2.5V voltage reference, temperature sensor, and per-channel digital comparators - enabling standalone operation with only decoupling capacitors (10µF + 0.1µF on AVDD, REF, and DVDD). External op-amps or reference buffers are unnecessary for standard ±10V or 0–10V measurements, as stated in the Features and Highly Integrated sections of the SBAS541A datasheet.
How is the AL_PD pin configured on the ADS8634SRGET?
The AL_PD pin on the ADS8634SRGET is configurable via SPI register: default mode is active-low asynchronous power-down input, but it can be reprogrammed as an active-high alarm output. When used as an alarm, it asserts upon any channel exceeding its programmed threshold - a function verified in the Pin Assignments and Functional Description sections of the SBAS541A datasheet.
What is the thermal performance of the ADS8634SRGET in its QFN-24 package?
The ADS8634SRGET in the RGE (4mm × 4mm QFN-24) package has a junction-to-board thermal resistance (θJB) of 3.3°C/W and junction-to-ambient (θJA) of 32.6°C/W, per the Thermal Information table in SBAS541A. This allows reliable operation at full 1MSPS throughput up to +125°C ambient when mounted on a 2-layer PCB with adequate copper pour under the thermal pad.
Can the ADS8634SRGET interface directly with a 1.8V microcontroller?
Yes, the ADS8634SRGET supports DVDD down to 1.65V and specifies timing parameters (e.g., tsu(DIN-SCLK) = 5.0 ns min at DVDD = 5V, 7.0 ns at 1.8V) fully compatible with 1.8V logic families. Its CMOS digital interface requires no level shifters - confirmed in the Digital Input/Output section and Table 1 of the SBAS541A datasheet.
