ADS1278HPAP

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS1278HPAPT is a high-performance, eight-channel, 24-bit simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Texas Instruments. It utilizes a sigma-delta architecture with integrated programmable gain amplifiers and linear phase digital filters. The device supports data rates up to 144 kSPS and offers an SNR of 111 dB in high-resolution mode. It operates on a 5 V analog supply and 1.65 V to 2.2 V digital core supply. Key specifications include a 62 kHz bandwidth, ±0.0012% FSR INL, and operation across an extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The component is housed in a 64-pin HTQFP package.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'H' against the official datasheet to confirm the extended temperature grade or material compliance status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package variant and moisture sensitivity level. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest documentation to validate current production status and any recent design changes before finalizing procurement.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when simultaneous sampling across multiple channels is critical to maintain phase coherence. The internal digital filter reduces external component requirements compared to discrete solutions. Consider the power dissipation limits within the HTQFP package when designing thermal management strategies for dense PCB layouts.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This device belongs to the ADS127x family of high-speed, high-resolution ADCs designed for demanding industrial applications. It shares architectural similarities with the ADS1274 and ADS1276 but provides eight channels instead of four or two. The HP designation typically indicates specific environmental or reliability qualifications within the product line.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the ADS1278IPAP and ADS1278IPAPR. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence. For lower channel counts, consider the ADS1274 or ADS1276 families.
