Product details
Overview
ADS8900BRGER from Texas Instruments is a 20-bit, 1-MSPS successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated reference buffer and low-dropout regulator (LDO), designed for high-precision, high-speed data acquisition in test equipment and medical imaging systems. It delivers 104.5 dB SNR, ±1 ppm INL, ±0.2 ppm DNL, and operates over –40°C to +125°C with a 4mm × 4mm VQFN-24 package.
For engineers reviewing the ADS8900BRGER datasheet, ADS8900BRGER pinout, ADS8900BRGER application, or ADS8900BRGER equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing and accuracy specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative options for high-resolution SAR ADC selection, and supply-chain support details specific to industrial and medical-grade deployment.
Technical Context
The ADS8900BRGER implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with internal clocking, enabling true no-latency output at 1 MSPS. Its integrated reference buffer supports external VREF inputs from 2.5 V to 5 V and eliminates droop during burst-mode acquisition, while the on-chip LDO allows single-supply operation from RVDD (3–5.5 V).
It features TI's enhanced multiSPI™ interface-backward-compatible with standard SPI-operating at up to 22 MHz SCLK at full throughput, reducing board-level clock routing complexity. The device also includes configurable parity bits for host-side data validation and supports both source-synchronous (external clock) and internal-clock serial protocols.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 20-bit-guarantees 1 ppm LSB step size (≈0.95 ppm) and 20-bit no-missing-codes performance across temperature. |
| Sample Rate | 1 MSPS-enables real-time capture of signals up to ~488 kHz (Nyquist) without pipeline latency or FIFO buffering. |
| SNR / THD | 104.5 dB SNR, –125 dB THD-supports >17-bit effective resolution (ENOB) at 2 kHz input, critical for spectral purity in medical imaging. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 ppm INL, ±0.2 ppm DNL-ensures linearity error <0.0001% FSR, essential for calibrated measurement systems. |
| Reference Range | 2.5 V to 5 V on REFIN-allows flexible system-level scaling without external op-amp gain stages. |
| Supply Voltage | RVDD = 3–5.5 V, DVDD = 1.65–5.5 V-single analog rail operation enabled by integrated LDO; digital I/O compatible with 1.8 V/3.3 V logic. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C-qualified for extended industrial and under-hood automotive subsystems requiring robust thermal stability. |
Pinout & Package
ADS8900BRGER uses a 24-pin VQFN package (RGE) with 4 mm × 4 mm footprint and exposed thermal pad connected to GND. Pin functions are validated per TI SBAS728B Rev. May 2026.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AINP / AINM | Analog input pair | Differential input terminals supporting ±VREF unipolar range; high common-mode rejection (80 dB) minimizes noise coupling. |
| REFIN / REFM | Reference voltage interface | Accepts 2.5–5 V external reference; REFM must be tied to precise ground reference to maintain <±1 ppm INL. |
| REFBUFOUT (pins 5,7) | Reference buffer I/O | Shorted externally; provides buffered VREF output or accepts external reference-eliminates need for discrete buffer IC. |
| RVDD / DVDD | Analog/digital supplies | RVDD powers analog core and LDO; DVDD powers digital interface-separate rails reduce digital switching noise injection. |
| CS / SCLK / SDO-0–3 / SDI | Enhanced multiSPI™ interface | 4-bit parallel SDO bus enables 20-bit+parity readout in one frame; CS-controlled Hi-Z outputs simplify multi-device bus sharing. |
| CONVST / RST | Control inputs | Edge-triggered CONVST initiates sampling; asynchronous RST resets all registers-critical for deterministic startup in safety-critical systems. |
| RVS | Status strobe output | Reflects internal ADCST signal; used for precise timing alignment in FPGA-based synchronous capture systems. |
| DECAP (pins 13,14) | LDO decoupling | Must be shorted and bypassed with 1 µF ceramic capacitor-ensures stable 2.85 V LDO output for internal circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated reference buffer | Eliminates droop during burst acquisition and supports external VREF from 2.5 V to 5 V-removes need for external op-amp buffer and saves PCB area. |
| On-chip LDO | Generates stable 2.85 V supply from RVDD (3–5.5 V), enabling true single-rail analog operation and reducing system BOM count. |
| Enhanced multiSPI™ interface | Delivers 20-bit + parity data at 1 MSPS using only 22 MHz SCLK-lowers EMI, simplifies layout, and eases timing closure with FPGAs/DSPs. |
| Data parity output | Configurable parity bit appended to each conversion word-enables host-side CRC-style validation to improve system reliability in noisy environments. |
| Low power at full speed | 21 mW total power (RVDD=5 V, 1 MSPS)-achieves >47 kSPS/mW efficiency, ideal for portable or thermally constrained instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8902BRGER | 500-kSPS max rate, identical 20-bit resolution, same pinout and feature set | Lower throughput suits cost-sensitive or lower-bandwidth systems where 1-MSPS is unnecessary | Select when system sampling requirement ≤500 kSPS-reduces power (16 mW vs 21 mW) and eases timing margin without sacrificing linearity. |
| AD7768-1BCPZ | 24-bit Σ-Δ architecture, 256-kSPS max, external reference required, no integrated LDO or ref buffer | Better DC precision but lower speed; requires external power and reference conditioning circuitry | Choose for ultra-low-noise DC measurements (e.g., weigh scales); avoid when needing true 1-MSPS throughput or single-supply simplicity. |
Compared with ADS8902BRGER, the ADS8900BRGER delivers double the sample rate with identical accuracy and package compatibility; versus AD7768-1BCPZ, it trades ultimate DC resolution for guaranteed 1-MSPS latency-free operation and integrated power/reference management-making it optimal for time-critical, space-constrained, high-fidelity acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the ADS8900BRGER?
The ADS8900BRGER supports a maximum sample rate of 1 million samples per second (1 MSPS) with no latency output. This is confirmed in the device's datasheet (SBAS728B, Section 1 Features) and validated across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). At this rate, the ADC achieves 104.5 dB SNR and ±1 ppm INL while consuming 21 mW total power. The ADS8900BRGER maintains full 20-bit no-missing-codes performance at 1 MSPS.
Does the ADS8900BRGER require an external reference voltage?
No-the ADS8900BRGER does not require an external reference voltage, though it fully supports one. It integrates a precision reference buffer that accepts external VREF inputs from 2.5 V to 5 V on the REFIN pin. Alternatively, the device can operate with its internal reference buffer enabled and an external 2.5–5 V source applied to REFBUFOUT. The ADS8900BRGER datasheet confirms no external reference IC is needed for basic operation.
What package type and pin count does the ADS8900BRGER use?
The ADS8900BRGER uses a 24-pin VQFN package (RGE variant) with a 4 mm × 4 mm body and exposed thermal pad. This is explicitly documented in TI's SBAS728B datasheet (Section 13: Mechanical, Packaging, and Orderable Information) and matches the pin configuration shown in Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1. The RGE package is RoHS-compliant and optimized for thermal dissipation in high-density layouts.
How does the enhanced multiSPI™ interface of the ADS8900BRGER differ from standard SPI?
The ADS8900BRGER's enhanced multiSPI™ interface is backward-compatible with standard SPI but adds four parallel SDO lines (SDO-0 to SDO-3) to transmit 20-bit conversion data plus parity in a single frame. This reduces required SCLK frequency to 22 MHz at 1 MSPS-versus 70 MHz for traditional 3-wire SPI-simplifying PCB layout, lowering EMI, and easing timing closure. The interface also supports configurable parity and multiple clocking modes (internal/external), all detailed in Section 6.3 of the ADS8900BRGER datasheet.
What is the operating temperature range for the ADS8900BRGER?
The ADS8900BRGER is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This extended industrial temperature range is specified in Section 5.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Section 5.1 (Absolute Maximum Ratings) of the official TI datasheet SBAS728B. Performance parameters-including INL (±1 ppm), SNR (104.5 dB), and power consumption-are guaranteed across this full range, making the ADS8900BRGER suitable for under-hood automotive and harsh-environment industrial deployments.
