Product details
Overview
SX8725E083TDT from Semtech is a low-power, 16-bit ZoomingADC™ analog-to-digital converter optimized for miniature pressure and temperature sensors. It features 1 differential input pair (AC2/AC3), programmable gain up to 1000 V/V, internal 1.22 V bandgap reference, and 2-WIRE (I²C-compatible) interface operating up to 400 kHz. Used in industrial barometers and compass modules where high-resolution sensor digitization with minimal power is critical.
For engineers reviewing the SX8725E083TDT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device delivers configurable resolution–speed–power trade-offs, sensor biasing via two digital outputs (D0/D1), and on-chip PGA offset compensation-key for precision transducer signal chains in constrained environments.
Technical Context
The SX8725E083TDT implements a switched-capacitor ZoomingADC™ architecture with three cascaded programmable gain amplifiers (PGA1–PGA3), enabling adaptive oversampling (OSR = 8–1024) and resolution scaling from 6 to 16 bits. Its acquisition chain supports both continuous-time and on-request conversion modes, with conversion time ranging from 133 cycles/fS (12-bit) to 1027 cycles/fS (16-bit).
Digital control is handled via a 2-WIRE interface with dedicated READY flag output and GPIO-configurable D0/D1 pins that support dual roles: digital I/O for sensor bias/reset or analog reference input/output (REFIN/REFOUT). The integrated charge pump (VPUMP) ensures stable analog switching when VBATT falls below 3 V.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution sensor ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS1118IRUGT | 16-bit SAR ADC with internal oscillator and temperature sensor; no integrated PGA stages-requires external op-amp for gain scaling. | Lacks on-chip sensor bias outputs (D0/D1) and programmable offset compensation-needs additional discrete components for transducer excitation. | Choose when system already includes precision op-amps and requires integrated temperature monitoring-not optimal for minimalist sensor node designs. |
| MAX11200EEE+ | 24-bit delta-sigma ADC with PGA (1–128×); no 2-WIRE interface-uses SPI only; higher power (350 µA @ 10 S/s). | Supports higher resolution but lacks READY flag and GPIO-configurable reference pins-less suitable for interrupt-driven, low-latency sensor polling. | Prefer when absolute highest resolution (24-bit) is required and SPI infrastructure exists-avoid if 2-WIRE compatibility or ultra-low standby current (<200 nA) is mandatory. |
Compared with ADS1118IRUGT and MAX11200EEE+, the SX8725E083TDT uniquely integrates PGA-based gain/offset tuning, dual-purpose GPIOs for sensor control, and 2-WIRE compatibility in a 4×4 mm package-making it the only option supporting complete transducer signal chain management without external support ICs.

FAQ
What is the maximum achievable resolution and sample rate for SX8725E083TDT?
The SX8725E083TDT supports up to 16-bit resolution with a maximum throughput of 0.485 kSps (485 samples per second) at full resolution. This occurs when OSR = 512 and NELCONV = 2, with fS = 250 kHz. At lower resolutions-such as 12-bit-the device achieves up to 1.88 kSps. These values are confirmed in the ZoomingADC Specifications table (page 6) and Timing Characteristics section (page 8) of the official datasheet.
Does SX8725E083TDT require an external crystal or oscillator?
No, the SX8725E083TDT includes an internal 4 MHz RC oscillator as its default time base, eliminating the need for an external crystal. This is documented in the Circuit Description section (page 10) and Block Diagram (Figure 3). The internal oscillator supports all standard operating modes-including programmable resolution, gain, and power reduction-without external timing components.
Can SX8725E083TDT operate with a 3.3 V supply, and how does that affect performance?
Yes, SX8725E083TDT operates across 2.4 V to 5.5 V, including standard 3.3 V rails. At 3.3 V, typical active current drops to 850 µA (16-bit @ 1 kS/s) versus 1000 µA at 5.5 V, and internal reference voltage remains stable at 1.22 V ±1%. PSRR is specified at 72 dB for 3 V supplies-slightly lower than 78 dB at 5 V-but still sufficient for industrial noise environments.
How are the D0 and D1 pins configured for reference input/output functionality in SX8725E083TDT?
The D0 and D1 pins of SX8725E083TDT are reconfigured as REFOUT and REFIN by setting VREF_D0_OUT = 1 and VREF_D1_IN = 1 in the RegMode register (page 11). When enabled, D0 outputs the internal 1.22 V bandgap reference, and D1 accepts an external reference-bypassing their default digital I/O behavior. This dual-mode capability is unique to the SX8725E083TDT and supports flexible calibration architectures.
What is the purpose of the VPUMP pin on SX8725E083TDT, and when must it be used?
The VPUMP pin on SX8725E083TDT supplies boosted voltage to internal analog switches when VBATT falls below 3 V. It is automatically activated if MULT_FORCE_ON = 0 and MULT_FORCE_OFF = 0 in RegMode (page 12), ensuring consistent ADC performance across the full 2.4–5.5 V supply range. A 1–10 nF capacitor to ground is required-no external circuitry needed beyond the decoupling cap.
