ADS7960SDBTR

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS7960SDBTR is an 8-bit, 12-channel successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a single-ended input architecture and communicates via a standard SPI interface. The device operates with an analog supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.25 V and a digital supply voltage from 1.7 V to 5.25 V. It achieves a sampling rate of 1 MSPS with a typical signal-to-noise ratio of 49 dB. Key linearity specifications include a differential nonlinearity of 0.3 LSB and an integral nonlinearity of 0.3 LSB. The component is housed in a TSSOP-38 package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• MicroPower SAR ADC architecture optimized for low power consumption
• Single-ended input configuration with 12 multiplexed channels
• Zero latency operation with two software-selectable unipolar modes

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring multi-channel data acquisition
• Portable instrumentation utilizing battery-powered microcontrollers
• Data logging applications in harsh environmental conditions

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing components. Confirm that the TSSOP-38 package variant matches the design footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with external reference voltage sources as the device requires an external reference. Check humidity sensitivity levels for proper storage and handling procedures during assembly.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component for designs prioritizing channel count over resolution within the 8-bit class. Compare against the ADS7960SRHBR if a smaller VQFN-32 package is preferred instead of the TSSOP-38 form factor. Evaluate power budget constraints against the 11.5 mW typical consumption at maximum sampling rates. Consider the 47 MHz full-power bandwidth for high-frequency signal integrity requirements.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the ADS7960 series of microPower SAR ADCs from Texas Instruments. It shares core electrical characteristics with other variants in the family, differing primarily in package type and reel versus tube packaging configurations. The series is designed for applications needing moderate resolution with multiple input channels.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The ADS7960SRHBR serves as a pin-compatible alternative offering the same electrical performance in a VQFN-32 package. Designers requiring a tube-packaged version should consider the ADS7960SDBT.
