ADS7816UC/2K5G4

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS7816UC/2K5G4 is a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Texas Instruments, designed for low-power sampling applications. It features a single-channel differential input and operates within an analog supply voltage range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The device utilizes a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture and supports serial communication via a 3-wire interface compatible with SPI. It is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package and functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'UC/2K5G4' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your target market. Confirm availability status as discontinued parts may require alternative sourcing strategies or lifecycle management planning.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-bit resolution and differential input are required for 5V systems. Compare performance metrics such as sampling rate and power consumption against similar SAR ADCs if higher speed or lower voltage operation is needed. Verify that the 3-wire serial interface aligns with the host microcontroller's communication capabilities.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the ADS7816 series of micro-power ADCs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the ADS7817 but differs in specific pinouts or performance characteristics.
