Product details
Overview
ADS8867IDGS from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit, 100-kSPS, true-differential SAR analog-to-digital converter with SPI-compatible serial interface, 96 dB SNR, ±1.0 LSB INL, and 0.7 mW power dissipation at full speed - deployed in precision instrumentation, medical sensors, and low-power battery-operated measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8867IDGS datasheet, ADS8867IDGS pinout, ADS8867IDGS application, or ADS8867IDGS equivalent, key selection criteria include true-differential input range (–VREF to +VREF), wide common-mode voltage support (0 V to VREF), 1200 ns full-scale settling time, and MSOP-10 package compatibility with daisy-chain and 3-/4-wire SPI modes.
Technical Context
The ADS8867IDGS implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with integrated sample-and-hold, enabling no-latency output and inherent linearity. Its true-differential input stage supports unipolar differential signals while rejecting common-mode noise up to 90 dB min across 0 V to VREF common-mode range.
Conversion is driven by an internal clock; external SCLK (up to 16 MHz) only controls serial data readout during acquisition phase. Power scales linearly with throughput - 70 µW at 10 kSPS, 0.7 mW at 100 kSPS - and automatic power-down occurs between conversions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with guaranteed no-missing-codes (NMC) performance - ensures monotonicity and full dynamic range utilization in closed-loop control. |
| Sample Rate | 100 kSPS maximum throughput - supports real-time monitoring of fast transients in sensor signal chains without interpolation. |
| SNR / THD | 96 dB SNR and –115 dB THD at 1 kHz - enables high-fidelity digitization of low-noise analog sources like strain gauges or thermopiles. |
| INL / DNL | ±1.0 LSB max INL and ±1.0 LSB max DNL - meets precision metrology requirements for calibration-grade measurements. |
| Input Range | True-differential: –VREF to +VREF; common-mode: 0 V to VREF - eliminates need for external level-shifting when interfacing with differential sensors. |
| Power Dissipation | 0.7 mW at 100 kSPS, 70 µW at 10 kSPS - suitable for energy-constrained portable instruments with variable sampling duty cycles. |
| Reference Range | 2.5 V to 5 V independent of AVDD - allows flexible system-level reference selection without supply rail coordination. |
Pinout & Package
ADS8867IDGS is housed in a 10-pin MSOP (DGS) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin assignments are validated per TI SBAS615A datasheet and optimized for low-noise analog layout: GND serves as shared analog/digital return, REF requires ≥10 µF decoupling, and thermal pad must be connected to PCB ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF | Reference input | Accepts 2.5 V–5 V external reference; drives internal capacitor array during conversion - requires low-ESR bulk capacitance (≥10 µF) and local 1 µF ceramic. |
| AINP / AINN | Differential analog inputs | True-differential pair supporting –VREF to +VREF swing; common-mode voltage range 0 V to VREF - enables direct connection to bridge sensors or isolated amplifiers. |
| AVDD | Analog supply | 2.7 V–3.6 V supply for analog core; must be decoupled to GND with 1 µF capacitor - separate from DVDD to minimize digital noise coupling. |
| DVDD | Digital supply | 1.65 V–3.6 V I/O supply; independent of AVDD - supports mixed-voltage host interfaces (e.g., 1.8 V FPGA with 3.3 V analog section). |
| CONVST | Conversion start | Edge-triggered command initiating sampling; doubles as chip select in 3-wire mode - timing-critical (min pulse width 10 ns) for deterministic acquisition. |
| DIN / DOUT / SCLK | SPI interface | CMOS-compatible 3-/4-wire or daisy-chain serial interface; SCLK up to 16 MHz - supports galvanic isolation or multi-device synchronization without additional logic. |
| GND | Common ground | Shared analog/digital reference plane; internal connection to REF return - must be low-impedance, star-point routed to avoid ground bounce. |
| Thermal Pad | Thermal path | Exposed copper pad on bottom; TI recommends soldering to PCB ground plane - reduces θJA to 151.9°C/W and improves long-term reliability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True-differential input architecture | Supports –VREF to +VREF differential swing with 0 V to VREF common-mode range - eliminates external instrumentation amplifier stages for differential sensor interfaces. |
| No-latency output | Conversion result available immediately after tconv (500–8800 ns); no pipeline delay - critical for real-time feedback loops in motor control or active filtering. |
| SPI-compatible daisy-chain mode | Single SCLK/DOUT chain supports cascading multiple ADS8867IDGS devices - reduces GPIO count and PCB trace count in multi-channel data acquisition systems. |
| Scalable power consumption | Power drops linearly with sample rate (70 µW @ 10 kSPS, 0.7 mW @ 100 kSPS) - enables adaptive sampling strategies in battery-powered field instruments. |
| High CMRR and PSRR | 90 dB min CMRR and 80 dB PSRR - maintains accuracy in electrically noisy industrial environments with shared power rails or EMI-prone cabling. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8865IDRC | Same 16-bit SAR architecture, 400 kSPS max, SON-10 package; higher speed but 1.5× higher power at 100 kSPS (1.05 mW) | Requires faster clock and tighter layout for stability; better suited for multi-channel burst-mode acquisition than continuous streaming | Select when throughput >100 kSPS is required and power budget allows +0.35 mW overhead |
| ADS8860IDGS | 16-bit SAR, 1 MSPS, MSOP-10; higher speed, larger aperture jitter (10 ps vs 5 ps), no daisy-chain mode | Lacks daisy-chain capability and has reduced CMRR (85 dB); requires external level-shifting for true-differential inputs | Choose for single-channel high-speed applications where daisy-chain and ultra-high CMRR are not needed |
Compared with ADS8867IDGS, ADS8865IDRC offers higher throughput at increased power cost and board space efficiency, while ADS8860IDGS sacrifices daisy-chain support and differential input integrity for raw speed - making ADS8867IDGS optimal for precision, multi-channel, low-power embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported SCLK frequency for ADS8867IDGS in 3-wire mode?
The ADS8867IDGS supports up to 16 MHz SCLK frequency in 3-wire mode, as specified in Table 1 of the SBAS615A datasheet. This allows serial readout completion within 1.024 µs (16 bits × 62.5 ns period), ensuring minimal bus occupancy during the acquisition phase of the ADS8867IDGS.
Does ADS8867IDGS require an external clock source for conversion?
No, ADS8867IDGS uses an internal conversion clock and does not require an external clock for sampling. The external SCLK is used solely for serial data readout after conversion completes. This simplifies system timing design and eliminates clock distribution skew concerns for the ADS8867IDGS.
Can ADS8867IDGS operate with a 2.5 V reference while AVDD is at 3.3 V?
Yes, ADS8867IDGS supports reference voltages from 2.5 V to 5 V independently of AVDD (2.7 V–3.6 V) and DVDD (1.65 V–3.6 V). A 2.5 V reference with 3.3 V AVDD is fully compliant and commonly used to maximize dynamic range in low-voltage sensor interfaces with the ADS8867IDGS.
What is the purpose of the thermal pad on the ADS8867IDGS MSOP-10 package?
The exposed thermal pad on the ADS8867IDGS DGS package provides a low-thermal-resistance path (θJA = 151.9°C/W) from the die to the PCB ground plane. Texas Instruments requires it to be soldered to a thermally robust copper area to maintain junction temperature within specification and ensure long-term reliability of the ADS8867IDGS.
How does the daisy-chain mode function on ADS8867IDGS?
Daisy-chain mode activates when DIN is low at the CONVST rising edge. In this mode, multiple ADS8867IDGS devices share one SCLK and DOUT line, with conversion results shifted out sequentially. This reduces host interface complexity and PCB routing for multi-channel systems using ADS8867IDGS.
