ADS7960SDBT

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS7960SDBT is an 8-bit, 12-channel successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates with a sampling rate of 1 MSPS and features single-ended inputs. The device utilizes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for communication. It supports an analog supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.25 V and a digital supply voltage range of 1.7 V to 5.25 V. Key performance metrics include a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 49 dB, full power bandwidth of 47 MHz, differential nonlinearity (DNL) of 0.3 LSB, and integral nonlinearity (INL) of 0.3 LSB. Power consumption is 11.5 mW. It is housed in a TSSOP-38 package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Industrial process control monitoring
• Portable instrumentation
• Data acquisition systems

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SDBT' corresponds to the TSSOP-38 tube packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the external reference voltage matches the required 2.5 V specification for optimal accuracy. Validate that the host microcontroller SPI timing aligns with the device's maximum clock requirements.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when high channel count is required alongside moderate resolution. Compare against the ADS7950 series if higher bit depth is necessary, noting the trade-off in pin count and complexity. Consider the ADS7960SRHBR variant if a smaller VQFN-32 footprint is preferred over the TSSOP-38 package. Ensure the application does not require differential inputs, as this model is single-ended only.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the ADS79xx family of microPower SAR ADCs from Texas Instruments. The family includes variants with different resolutions (8, 10, 12 bits) and channel counts (4, 8, 12, 16). The ADS7960 specifically targets applications needing multiple channels at 8-bit resolution. It shares pin compatibility with other members of the ADS79xx series, facilitating design upgrades or changes in resolution/channel count without PCB redesign.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

ADS7960SRHBT is a pin-compatible alternative in a VQFN-32 package.
