ADS7816PG4

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS7816PG4 is a 12-bit high-speed micro-power sampling analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a successive approximation architecture with a throughput rate of 200 kSPS and a maximum conversion time of 5 µs. The device operates from a single +5 V supply, drawing 15 mW of power during active conversion and reducing consumption to 1 mW in power-down mode. It includes an internal 2.5 V reference and supports both unipolar and bipolar input ranges. The component is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Integrates a precision internal voltage reference to minimize external component count
• Supports flexible input configurations for unipolar and bipolar signal acquisition
• Features low-power operation with dedicated power-down control for energy efficiency

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Portable battery-powered instrumentation systems
• Industrial process control data acquisition
• Medical monitoring equipment requiring low noise performance

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix PG4 indicates lead-free RoHS compliance and standard commercial packaging. Confirm the TSSOP-20 footprint matches your PCB design constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with your system environment requirements before finalizing procurement.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance between moderate speed and low power consumption is required. It serves as a suitable alternative to higher-resolution converters in cost-sensitive applications where 12-bit accuracy is sufficient. Consider the internal reference stability if external calibration is not feasible.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context
