Product details
Overview
ADS8864IDGS from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 400-kSPS, single-ended input SAR analog-to-digital converter with SPI-compatible serial interface, 93 dB SNR, ±2.0 LSB max INL, and 2.6 mW power dissipation at full speed-designed for precision data acquisition in battery-powered instrumentation and ATE systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8864IDGS datasheet, ADS8864IDGS pinout, ADS8864IDGS application, or ADS8864IDGS equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed alternative options for low-power, high-accuracy ADC selection.
Technical Context
The ADS8864IDGS implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with no latency output and full-scale step settling to 16 bits in 1200 ns. It supports unipolar single-ended inputs from 0 V to VREF (2.5 V–5 V), independent of AVDD (2.7 V–3.6 V) and DVDD (1.65 V–3.6 V).
Its SPI-compatible serial interface offers three operational modes-3-wire CS, 4-wire CS, and daisy-chain-with optional busy-indicator bit for host synchronization. Conversion is triggered by CONVST, and power consumption scales linearly with throughput (65 µW at 10 kSPS).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit-guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes (NMC) across full temperature range. |
| Sample Rate | 400 kSPS maximum-enables real-time capture of signals up to ~100 kHz bandwidth with >93 dB SNR. |
| INL | ±2.0 LSB (max)-limits absolute accuracy error to <±0.003% of full scale at 5 V reference. |
| SNR | 93 dB (typ, 1 kHz, VREF = 5 V)-supports >15.2 ENOB for high-fidelity signal reconstruction. |
| Power Dissipation | 2.6 mW at 400 kSPS-enables continuous operation in thermally constrained, battery-powered designs. |
| Reference Range | 2.5 V to 5 V-permits direct interfacing with common precision references without external scaling. |
| Supply Independence | AVDD (2.7–3.6 V), DVDD (1.65–3.6 V), REF (2.5–5 V) operate independently-simplifies mixed-supply system design. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-10 package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm) with exposed thermal pad not connected in DGS variant; RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable, suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF | Analog reference input | Accepts 2.5–5 V external reference; decoupled with ≥10 µF capacitor for noise immunity and stability. |
| AINP | Analog input (+) | Single-ended input node; operates over –0.1 V to VREF + 0.1 V with 59 pF input capacitance. |
| AINN | Analog input (–) | Ground-referenced return path; internally tied to GND-used only for common-mode rejection, not differential input. |
| AVDD | Analog supply | 2.7–3.6 V analog rail; requires 1-µF decoupling to GND to maintain AC performance. |
| DVDD | Digital I/O supply | 1.65–3.6 V logic rail; independent of AVDD, enabling level-shifting with host microcontrollers. |
| GND | Common ground | Shared analog/digital reference plane; internal connection to REF return and thermal pad (DRC only). |
| CONVST | Convert start / CS | Edge-triggered conversion initiator; doubles as chip select in 3-wire mode (twh-CNV ≥10 ns). |
| DIN | Serial data input | Configures interface mode at conversion start; serves as CS in 4-wire mode with tsu-DI-CNV ≥7.5 ns. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | MSB-first, SCLK-synchronized output; transitions valid 13.4 ns after SCLK falling edge (td-CK-DO). |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Supports up to 66.6 MHz; duty cycle 45–55%; controls data timing in all interface modes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency output | Delivers conversion result immediately after completion-eliminates pipeline delay for deterministic timing control. |
| Daisy-chain capability | Enables cascading of multiple ADS8864IDGS devices on one SPI bus without additional GPIO or address decoding. |
| Ultra-low power-down current | 50 nA AVDD quiescent draw-preserves battery life during idle periods in portable instrumentation. |
| Independent reference & supplies | REF voltage may exceed AVDD (e.g., 5 V REF with 3 V AVDD), removing need for reference buffers or LDOs. |
| Full-scale step settling | 1200 ns to 16-bit accuracy-ensures accurate sampling of fast transients without post-conversion correction. |
Applications
| Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) | Portable Precision Medical Devices |

Use Value: 2.5–5 V reference flexibility allows use of ultra-stable 2.5 V bandgap or low-noise 4.096 V reference to optimize dynamic range for biopotential signals. |
| Industrial Process Monitoring | Low-Power Data Loggers |
Use Scenario: 4–20 mA loop-powered sensor interface in harsh industrial environments with wide ambient temperature variation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision ADC capturing conditioned analog outputs from RTD/thermocouple transmitters; operates from isolated 3.3 V supply. Use Value: –40°C to +85°C guaranteed operation, ±1.5 µV/°C offset drift, and 80 dB PSRR ensure stable readings despite supply ripple and thermal gradients. |
Use Scenario: Long-duration environmental monitoring using coin-cell or energy-harvesting power sources.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision, low-power SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8862IDRCR | 680-kSPS throughput, same 16-bit resolution and VSSOP/VSON packaging; higher speed but 3.5 mW at full rate. | Better suited for higher-bandwidth process control loops requiring >500 kHz effective sampling. | Select when system demands faster update rates and can accommodate slightly higher power and cost. |
| ADS8866IDGST | Differential input architecture (vs. single-ended); identical 400-kSPS rate, 93 dB SNR, and power profile. | Required for applications with noisy environments or fully differential sensor outputs (e.g., bridge-based strain gauges). | Choose only if true differential input is mandatory; not pin-compatible-requires layout revision. |
Compared with ADS8864IDGS, ADS8862IDRCR offers higher throughput at increased power, while ADS8866IDGST provides differential input capability at identical speed and precision-neither is pin-compatible, and both require interface and layout validation for replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the ADS8864IDGS?
The ADS8864IDGS supports a maximum throughput rate of 400 kSPS with no latency and guaranteed 16-bit NMC performance. At this rate, total power dissipation is 2.6 mW (AVDD = 3 V, VREF = 5 V). The device maintains full specification compliance-including ±2.0 LSB INL and 93 dB SNR-across the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range. Lower throughput rates reduce power linearly (e.g., 65 µW at 10 kSPS).
Does the ADS8864IDGS support differential input signals?
No, the ADS8864IDGS is explicitly a single-ended input ADC. Its AINN pin serves only as a grounded reference return-not an active inverting input-and the device accepts unipolar signals from 0 V to VREF on AINP. For true differential input capability, TI recommends the pin-compatible ADS8865 or functionally similar ADS8866, both of which implement fully differential architectures with matched input paths and common-mode rejection.
What reference voltage range is compatible with the ADS8864IDGS?
The ADS8864IDGS accepts an external reference voltage from 2.5 V to 5 V, independent of AVDD and DVDD supply levels. This allows use of standard precision references such as the REF5025 (2.5 V), REF5040 (4.096 V), or REF5050 (5.0 V) without level-shifting circuitry. The REF pin must be decoupled with ≥10 µF capacitance to ensure stability and optimal AC performance, particularly at higher input frequencies.
Can the ADS8864IDGS interface with a 1.8-V microcontroller?
Yes-the ADS8864IDGS supports DVDD from 1.65 V to 3.6 V, making it fully compatible with 1.8-V digital hosts. Its CMOS digital I/O (DIN, DOUT, SCLK, CONVST) meets VIH/VIL thresholds at 1.8 V (VIH ≥ 1.26 V, VIL ≤ 0.54 V), and output drive strength is specified for CLOAD = 20 pF. No level-shifter is required when DVDD = 1.8 V, provided the host MCU's I/O tolerances align with ADS8864IDGS' published logic thresholds.
What package options are available for the ADS8864IDGS?
The ADS8864IDGS is offered exclusively in the 10-pin VSSOP (DGS) package, measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm with standard gull-wing leads. Unlike the DRC (VSON) variant, the DGS package does not include an exposed thermal pad. Both packages share identical pinout and electrical specifications, but the DGS variant is optimized for reflow compatibility and optical inspection in high-volume manufacturing.
