Product details
Overview
ADS8674IDBT from Texas Instruments is a 14-bit, 4-channel, single-supply SAR analog-to-digital converter with integrated analog front-end, ±20 V input overvoltage protection, 500-kSPS aggregate throughput, and software-programmable bipolar/unipolar input ranges (e.g., ±10.24 V, 0–5.12 V). It serves as the core data acquisition IC in industrial PLC analog input modules.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8674IDBT datasheet, ADS8674IDBT pinout, ADS8674IDBT application, or ADS8674IDBT equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, TSSOP-38 package mapping, channel-independent PGA configuration, SPI-compatible daisy-chain interface details, and real-world use cases in power automation and protection relay systems.
Technical Context
The ADS8674IDBT implements a successive approximation register (SAR) ADC architecture with per-channel programmable gain amplifiers (PGA), 4.096-V on-chip reference, and a 4-channel analog multiplexer supporting both auto-scan and manual channel selection modes. Each input channel features constant 1-MΩ resistive impedance and independent input range selection.
It operates from a single 5-V analog supply (AVDD = 4.75–5.25 V) and supports digital I/O voltages from 1.65 V to 5.25 V. The device integrates input overvoltage protection up to ±20 V (with low-impedance AVDD), ALARM output for per-channel high/low threshold detection, and auxiliary input (AUX_IN/AUX_GND) directly connected to the ADC core.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - delivers 16,384 discrete output codes for high-precision DC and low-frequency AC measurements. |
| Sampling Rate | 500 kSPS aggregate - enables simultaneous sampling across all 4 channels at 125 kSPS each or burst-mode acquisition. |
| Input Ranges | Software-selectable per channel: ±10.24 V, ±5.12 V, ±2.56 V, ±1.28 V, ±0.64 V, or unipolar 0–10.24 V, 0–5.12 V, etc. - eliminates external signal conditioning for multi-range field inputs. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.25 LSB / ±0.2 LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.0015% full-scale linearity error for calibration-critical applications. |
| SNR / THD | 85 dB / –100 dB - supports accurate measurement of small signals superimposed on large DC offsets or noise floors. |
| Input Impedance | 1 MΩ constant - maintains consistent loading across all input ranges and prevents gain errors due to source impedance variation. |
| Overvoltage Protection | ±20 V (with AVDD = 5 V) - protects against transient surges in industrial environments without external clamping circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-38 package (9.7 mm × 4.4 mm), thermally enhanced for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +125°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SDI) | Digital Input | SPI serial data input; accepts command registers and configuration bits for channel/range selection. |
| 2 (RST/PD) | Digital Input | Active-low dual-function pin: resets internal logic or places device in ultra-low-power shutdown (<20 µA). |
| 3 (DAISY) | Digital Input | Enables daisy-chain mode; when low, allows cascading multiple ADS8674/ADS8678 devices on shared SPI bus. |
| 4 (REFSEL) | Digital Input | Selects reference source: low = internal 4.096-V reference enabled (REFIO = output); high = external reference mode (REFIO = input). |
| 5 (REFIO) | Analog I/O | Reference voltage node - outputs 4.096 V (internal mode) or accepts external reference (4.046–4.146 V) with low-drift buffer. |
| 6 (REFGND) | Power Supply | Dedicated reference ground - must be shorted to analog ground plane and decoupled with REFIO and REFCAP. |
| 7 (REFCAP) | Analog Output | ADC reference decoupling capacitor terminal - requires 10–22 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to stabilize reference voltage. |
| 8–9, 28–32, 38 (AGND/AVDD) | Power Supply | Multiple analog ground and supply pins minimize ground bounce and improve PSRR in noisy industrial layouts. |
| 10–11 (AUX_IN/AUX_GND) | Analog Input | Dedicated auxiliary differential input channel - bypasses multiplexer and PGA, connects directly to ADC for calibration or diagnostics. |
| 16–17, 18–19, 20–21, 22–23 (AIN_0P/GND to AIN_3P/GND) | Analog Input | Four fully isolated single-ended input pairs - each includes OVP, PGA, LPF, and driver; supports true bipolar/unipolar ranges. |
| 33–34 (DGND/DVDD) | Power Supply | Digital supply domain - DVDD supports 1.65–5.25 V, enabling direct interfacing with 1.8-V, 3.3-V, or 5-V host microcontrollers. |
| 35 (ALARM) | Digital Output | Open-drain active-high interrupt - asserts when any configured channel exceeds user-defined high/low thresholds. |
| 36 (SDO) | Digital Output | SPI serial data output - transmits conversion results MSB-first; tri-states when CS is high or during daisy-chain propagation. |
| 37 (SCLK) | Digital Input | SPI clock input - supports up to 17 MHz; timing-critical for tSU_DICK (5 ns setup) and tHT_CKDI (5 ns hold) on SDI. |
| 38 (CS) | Digital Input | Active-low chip select - initiates SPI frame; falling edge triggers acquisition start and enables SDO output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Per-channel programmable input ranges | Each of 4 inputs independently selects ±10.24 V, ±5.12 V, ..., or 0–10.24 V, 0–5.12 V - eliminates external range-switching relays or op-amp reconfiguration. |
| Integrated 4.096-V reference with low drift | 8 ppm/°C max drift and 4.094–4.098 V tolerance at 25°C - removes need for external precision reference and reduces BOM count. |
| Constant 1-MΩ input impedance | Maintains 0.85–1.15 MΩ across temperature and all input ranges - ensures predictable gain accuracy regardless of sensor output impedance. |
| ±20-V input overvoltage protection | Withstands sustained ±20 V on AIN_nP/GND pins when AVDD = 5 V - eliminates external TVS diodes and series current-limiting resistors. |
| ALARM output with per-channel thresholds | Configurable high/low limits per channel trigger open-drain ALARM pin - enables real-time fault detection without host CPU polling. |
| SPI-compatible daisy-chain capability | DAISY pin enables synchronous readout from multiple ADS8674/ADS8678 devices using one SPI bus - reduces GPIO count and simplifies multi-module designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the ADS8674IDBT can tolerate without damage?
The ADS8674IDBT supports ±20 V absolute maximum input voltage on AIN_nP and AIN_nGND pins when AVDD = 5 V and presents a low-impedance path (<30 kΩ). This built-in overvoltage protection eliminates the need for external clamping components in industrial field wiring scenarios where transients or miswiring may occur.
Does the ADS8674IDBT require an external reference voltage?
No - the ADS8674IDBT includes a factory-trimmed 4.096-V internal reference with 8 ppm/°C max drift. When REFSEL is pulled low, REFIO outputs this reference; when REFSEL is high, REFIO accepts an external 4.046–4.146-V reference. The internal option reduces BOM count and improves system-level accuracy without external calibration.
How does the ADS8674IDBT handle different input signal ranges?
The ADS8674IDBT supports eight software-programmable input ranges per channel: five bipolar (±10.24 V to ±0.15625 × VREF) and three unipolar (0–10.24 V to 0–0.3125 × VREF). Range selection is performed via SPI register writes, enabling dynamic adaptation to varying sensor outputs without hardware changes.
Can multiple ADS8674IDBT devices be connected to a single SPI bus?
Yes - the ADS8674IDBT supports daisy-chain configuration via the DAISY pin. When DAISY is low, SDO of one device connects to SDI of the next, allowing sequential readout of conversion results from multiple ADS8674IDBT units using a single CS line and shared SCLK/SDI, reducing host controller pin count.
What is the power consumption of the ADS8674IDBT in active and standby modes?
In active mode at 500-kSPS with internal reference, the ADS8674IDBT draws 8.5–11.5 mA from AVDD and 0.5 mA from DVDD (total ~65 mW). In STDBY mode, it consumes 3–4.5 mA; in PWR_DN mode, current drops to 3–20 µA - enabling energy-efficient operation in battery-powered or thermally constrained industrial nodes.
