Product details
Overview
ADS8864IDRCT 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 micropower operation (2.6 mW at full speed). It accepts 2.5 V to 5 V external reference independent of AVDD and targets precision data acquisition in space- and power-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8864IDRCT datasheet, ADS8864IDRCT pinout, ADS8864IDRCT application, or ADS8864IDRCT equivalent, key selection considerations include unipolar single-ended input range (0 V to VREF), daisy-chain capability for multi-channel systems, no-latency output architecture, and ultra-low 50 nA power-down current - all in a 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm VSON-10 package.
Technical Context
The ADS8864IDRCT implements a successive approximation register (SAR) ADC core with fully differential sampling switch and capacitor DAC array, enabling 16-bit NMC performance without pipeline latency. Its reference input is decoupled from AVDD, allowing VREF up to 5 V while AVDD operates as low as 2.7 V.
It supports three serial interface modes - 3-wire (CONVST-as-CS), 4-wire (DIN-as-CS), and daisy-chain - all synchronized to SCLK up to 66.6 MHz. A busy-indicator bit option simplifies host synchronization, and full-scale step settling occurs in 1200 ns.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes (NMC) - guarantees monotonic transfer function for precision control loops. |
| Sample rate | 400 kSPS maximum - supports high-fidelity waveform capture up to ~100 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR / THD | 93 dB SNR, –108 dB THD at 1 kHz - enables >15.2 ENOB for low-noise sensor interfacing. |
| INL / DNL | ±2.0 LSB max INL, ±1.0 LSB max DNL - ensures accurate absolute measurement across full scale. |
| Power dissipation | 2.6 mW at 400 kSPS; 65 µW at 10 kSPS - scales linearly with throughput for battery-operated optimization. |
| Reference range | 2.5 V to 5 V, independent of AVDD - eliminates need for signal scaling when using common 3.3 V or 5 V references. |
| Supply ranges | AVDD: 2.7–3.6 V; DVDD: 1.65–3.6 V - supports mixed-voltage digital hosts (e.g., 1.8 V or 3.3 V microcontrollers). |
Pinout & Package
The ADS8864IDRCT is packaged in a 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 10-pin VSON (DRC) package with exposed thermal pad. This RoHS-compliant, leadless package supports fine-pitch PCB assembly and enhanced thermal performance (RθJB = 45.9°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF | Analog reference input | Accepts 2.5–5 V external reference; decoupling ≥10 µF required for noise immunity and stability. |
| AINP | Analog input (+) | Single-ended analog input node; operates over –0.1 V to VREF + 0.1 V range. |
| AINN | Analog input (–) | Ground-referenced return path for single-ended mode; internally tied to GND in default configuration. |
| AVDD | Analog supply | 2.7–3.6 V analog rail; requires 1-µF local decoupling to GND for ADC core stability. |
| DVDD | Digital supply | 1.65–3.6 V I/O supply; independent of AVDD, enabling low-voltage MCU interfacing. |
| GND | Common ground | Shared analog/digital reference plane; internal connection to REF return and thermal pad. |
| CONVST | Convert start / CS | Edge-triggered conversion initiator; doubles as chip select in 3-wire mode. |
| DIN | Serial data input | Configures interface mode at conversion start; serves as CS in 4-wire mode. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | MSB-first, SCLK-synchronized output; tri-state controlled by CONVST or DIN per mode. |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Up to 66.6 MHz clock; controls data timing in all interface modes including daisy-chain. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-latency output | Delivers conversion result immediately after completion - eliminates pipeline delay for real-time closed-loop control. |
| Daisy-chain support | Enables cascaded readout of multiple ADS8864IDRCT devices using single SCLK/DOUT line - reduces GPIO count in multi-channel systems. |
| Independent reference supply | VREF operates up to 5 V regardless of AVDD (min 2.7 V) - allows use of precision 5 V references without analog rail upgrade. |
| Ultra-low power-down current | 50 nA AVDD current in power-down state - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like portable diagnostics. |
| Full-scale step settling | 1200 ns to 16-bit accuracy - ensures valid data within one SCLK cycle at 66.6 MHz, supporting tight timing budgets. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8862IDRCT | 680 kSPS throughput, same 16-bit resolution and VSON-10 package; higher power (3.8 mW @ 680 kSPS) and narrower reference range (2.5–4.5 V). | Better suited for higher-bandwidth applications like motor phase current sensing where >400 kSPS is required. | Select ADS8862IDRCT only if sample rate >400 kSPS is mandatory; ADS8864IDRCT offers superior power efficiency below 400 kSPS. |
| ADS8866IDRCT | Differential input architecture (vs. single-ended); identical 400 kSPS, 16-bit, and power specs; requires matched input pair and external driver. | Preferred for noisy industrial environments where common-mode rejection (90 dB CMRR) improves signal integrity. | Choose ADS8866IDRCT when measuring floating or differential sensors; ADS8864IDRCT simplifies design for ground-referenced signals. |
Compared with ADS8862IDRCT and ADS8866IDRCT, the ADS8864IDRCT uniquely balances single-ended simplicity, ultra-low idle power, and flexible 2.5–5 V reference support - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, and battery-limited precision measurement systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum SCLK frequency supported by the ADS8864IDRCT?
The ADS8864IDRCT supports SCLK frequencies up to 66.6 MHz in all interface modes (3-wire, 4-wire, and daisy-chain). This allows full 16-bit readout in under 250 ns, enabling tight timing integration with high-speed microcontrollers and FPGAs. The ADS8864IDRCT datasheet specifies tSCLK minimum of 15 ns, confirming reliable operation at this rate across temperature and voltage ranges.
Does the ADS8864IDRCT require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the ADS8864IDRCT requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin, with a valid range of 2.5 V to 5 V. The device does not include an internal reference; instead, it leverages external precision references for optimal flexibility and accuracy. The ADS8864IDRCT reference input must be decoupled with ≥10 µF capacitance to ensure stable conversion performance and low noise.
Can the ADS8864IDRCT operate with different analog and digital supply voltages?
Yes, the ADS8864IDRCT supports independent analog (AVDD: 2.7–3.6 V) and digital (DVDD: 1.65–3.6 V) supplies. This allows interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V microcontrollers while maintaining optimal analog performance. The ADS8864IDRCT specification confirms full functionality across this dual-supply range without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the power consumption of the ADS8864IDRCT at 100 kSPS?
At 100 kSPS, the ADS8864IDRCT consumes 0.65 mW typical power (AVDD = 3 V). This reflects its scalable micropower architecture, where dissipation decreases linearly with throughput. The ADS8864IDRCT datasheet specifies this value under standard conditions (VREF = 5 V, TA = 25°C), and actual consumption remains stable across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range.
Is the ADS8864IDRCT pin-compatible with other devices in the ADS88xx family?
The ADS8864IDRCT shares the same 10-pin VSON (DRC) footprint with ADS8862IDRCT and ADS8866IDRCT, but pin functions differ - notably AINN is used for differential input in ADS8866IDRCT and unused (tied to GND) in ADS8864IDRCT. Therefore, ADS8864IDRCT is not pin-compatible with those variants despite identical packaging; board redesign is required for substitution.
