Product details
Overview
ADS8678IDBTR from Texas Instruments is an 8-channel, 14-bit, 500-kSPS SAR ADC with integrated analog front-end, ±20-V input overvoltage protection, 1-MΩ constant resistive input impedance, and software-programmable bipolar/unipolar input ranges up to ±10.24 V - deployed in industrial PLC analog input modules for high-accuracy sensor signal acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8678IDBTR datasheet, ADS8678IDBTR pinout, ADS8678IDBTR application, or ADS8678IDBTR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, TSSOP-38 package layout, channel-independent gain/offset calibration, SPI-compatible daisy-chain interface support, and real-world performance data across –40°C to 125°C operation.
Technical Context
The ADS8678IDBTR integrates per-channel programmable gain amplifiers (PGA), 2nd-order anti-aliasing LPFs, overvoltage protection circuitry, and a precision 4.096-V internal reference with <20 ppm/°C drift. Each of its eight single-ended analog inputs supports independent range selection - including ±10.24 V, ±5.12 V, ±2.56 V, ±1.28 V, ±0.64 V, and unipolar variants - all maintaining 1-MΩ input impedance regardless of range.
Its successive approximation register (SAR) core achieves 85 dB SNR and ±0.25 LSB INL at 500 kSPS aggregate throughput, with conversion time of 850 ns and acquisition time of 1150 ns. The device operates from a single 5-V analog supply (AVDD = 4.75–5.25 V) and supports 1.65–5.25-V digital I/O via DVDD, enabling direct interfacing with modern microcontrollers and FPGAs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit SAR architecture delivering 16,384 discrete output codes with no missing codes guaranteed. |
| Sampling Rate | 500 kSPS aggregate throughput across all 8 channels - enables real-time monitoring of fast transients in power automation systems. |

Pinout & Package
TSSOP-38 package (9.7 mm × 4.4 mm) with exposed thermal pad; RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish; rated for –40°C to +125°C industrial temperature operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SDI) | Digital input | Serial data input for SPI configuration and register writes; compatible with 1.65–5.25-V logic levels. |
| 2 (RST/PD) | Digital input | Active-low dual-function pin: reset device or enter low-power power-down mode (3 µA standby current). |
| 3 (DAISY) | Digital input | Enables daisy-chain mode; when asserted low, allows cascading multiple ADS8678 devices on shared SCLK/CS lines. |
| 4 (REFSEL) | Digital input | Selects internal (low) or external (high) reference source; controls REFIO pin direction and reference activation. |
| 5 (REFIO) | Analog I/O | Internal reference output (4.096 V) or external reference input (4.046–4.146 V); requires 10–22 µF decoupling to REFGND. |
| 6 (REFGND) | Power supply | Dedicated reference ground; must be shorted to analog ground plane and decoupled with REFIO and REFCAP. |
| 7 (REFCAP) | Analog output | Reference capacitor connection point; supplies stable 4.096-V reference to ADC core; requires 10–22 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 8–9, 28–32 (AGND/AVDD) | Power supply | Multiple AGND and AVDD pins minimize ground bounce and supply impedance; each AVDD pair must be decoupled locally. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit, multi-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8674IDBTR | 4-channel variant in identical TSSOP-38 package; shares same architecture, reference, OVP, and SPI interface but fewer input channels. | Lower channel count suits compact modules or cost-sensitive designs where only 4 inputs are required. | Select ADS8674IDBTR when board space or BOM cost constraints justify reduced channel density without sacrificing performance. |
| AD7606BSTZ | 8-channel, 16-bit SAR ADC with parallel/serial interface; requires external reference and lacks integrated OVP or programmable input ranges. | Higher resolution but demands more external components and layout effort for protection and signal conditioning. | Choose AD7606BSTZ only when 16-bit resolution is mandatory and system-level OVP and range flexibility can be implemented externally. |
Compared with ADS8674IDBTR and AD7606BSTZ, the ADS8678IDBTR uniquely combines 8-channel 14-bit precision, integrated ±20-V OVP, per-channel programmable ranges, and on-chip 4.096-V reference - reducing design complexity and validation effort for industrial analog input systems.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the ADS8678IDBTR support per channel?
The ADS8678IDBTR supports software-programmable input ranges per channel: bipolar options of ±10.24 V, ±5.12 V, ±2.56 V, ±1.28 V, and ±0.64 V; unipolar options of 0–10.24 V, 0–5.12 V, 0–2.56 V, and 0–1.28 V. All ranges maintain a constant 1-MΩ input impedance, and the ADS8678IDBTR's integrated PGAs ensure accurate full-scale utilization without external scaling components.
Does the ADS8678IDBTR require an external reference voltage?
No - the ADS8678IDBTR includes a precision 4.096-V internal reference with 8 ppm/°C max drift and ±0.002% typical gain error. When REFSEL is pulled low, the ADS8678IDBTR enables its internal reference and drives REFIO at 4.096 V. An external reference (4.046–4.146 V) may be used by pulling REFSEL high, but it is not required for standard operation of the ADS8678IDBTR.
How does the ADS8678IDBTR handle overvoltage conditions on its analog inputs?
The ADS8678IDBTR provides ±20-V absolute maximum overvoltage protection on all AIN_nP and AIN_nGND pins when AVDD = 5 V - protecting against wiring faults, transient surges, and field-induced spikes. This integrated OVP eliminates the need for external TVS diodes or clamping circuits in most industrial applications, directly enhancing system reliability and reducing BOM cost for the ADS8678IDBTR.
Can multiple ADS8678IDBTR devices be connected in daisy-chain mode?
Yes - the ADS8678IDBTR supports SPI-compatible daisy-chain operation using the DAISY pin. When DAISY is asserted low, the ADS8678IDBTR forwards SDO data to the SDI of the next device in the chain, allowing up to 16 devices to share a single CS and SCLK line. This reduces GPIO usage and simplifies firmware for multi-channel expansion beyond 8 inputs using the ADS8678IDBTR.
What is the operating temperature range specified for the ADS8678IDBTR?
The ADS8678IDBTR is fully specified for industrial operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. All key parameters - including INL (±0.25 LSB), SNR (85 dB), gain error drift (1–4 ppm/°C), and timing compliance - are guaranteed across this range, making the ADS8678IDBTR suitable for deployment in enclosures near motors, transformers, or outdoor substations without derating.
