ADS7816EC/250

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS7816EC/250 is a 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates with a sampling rate of 200 kS/s and features a single differential or single-ended input channel. The device utilizes a 3-wire serial interface for data communication. Power consumption is specified at 1.9 mW, supporting low-power applications. It functions within an analog and digital supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.25 V. The component is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package and is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C. Differential nonlinearity is +/- 2 LSB, and integral nonlinearity is +/- 2 LSB.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EC' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm temperature grade and packaging specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before procurement. Check for any product discontinuance notices or lifecycle changes directly from Texas Instruments to ensure long-term availability.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-bit resolution and 200 kS/s sampling rate are required with minimal power usage. Ensure the system supports 3-wire serial communication protocols. Verify that the input signal range matches the single-ended or differential capabilities within the 4.5 V to 5.25 V supply constraints.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the ADS7816 series of micropower ADCs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the ADS7817 and ADS7818 but differs in interface type and specific performance metrics. The 'E' indicates commercial temperature range, while 'C' typically denotes the tape and reel packaging variant.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Potential substitutes include the ADS7817EC/250 for differential-only inputs or the ADS7818E/250 for SPI interface compatibility. Verify pinout and software compatibility before substitution.
