ADS7816EB/2K5

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS7816EB/2K5 is a 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a single differential or single-ended input channel and operates with a sampling rate of 200 kS/s. The device supports both external and internal reference configurations, though the EB suffix typically denotes an external reference variant in this family. It functions on a single supply voltage ranging from 4.5 V to 5.25 V for both analog and digital domains. The component utilizes a 3-wire serial interface for data communication. It is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package and is rated for operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm reference type and package variations. Ensure compatibility with the system's voltage levels and serial interface timing requirements. Check for moisture sensitivity level handling during storage and assembly processes. Confirm RoHS compliance status for environmental regulations. Validate that the 2K5 reel quantity matches the production needs.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance between moderate speed and ultra-low power consumption is required. The 12-bit resolution suits applications where high precision is not critical but energy efficiency is paramount. Consider the external reference requirement if using the standard EB variant. Evaluate the VSSOP-8 package constraints against available PCB space. Compare performance metrics against other SAR ADCs in the same power class.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the ADS7816 series of micro-power sampling ADCs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the ADS7822 and ADS7819, differing primarily in resolution, speed, and pinout configurations. The series is designed for applications demanding minimal power usage while maintaining adequate conversion accuracy for general-purpose sensing tasks.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other parts from the ADS78xx family such as the ADS7819 or ADS7822, provided pinouts and specifications align. Verify interface compatibility and power supply requirements before substitution. Consult official cross-reference guides for validated alternatives.
