ADS8318IDRCT

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS8318IDRCT is a 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a serial interface and operates with a sampling rate of 500 kSPS. The device utilizes a miniature VSON-10 package, measuring 3 mm x 3 mm. It supports single-ended input signals and requires an external reference voltage. Power consumption is specified at 18 mW. The operational temperature range extends from -40°C to +85°C. Digital supply voltage ranges from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, while the analog supply voltage ranges from 2.7 V to 5.5 V.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IDRCT corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards relevant to the target manufacturing region. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with standard reel sizes provided by the manufacturer to avoid partial reel handling issues during production.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit resolution and 500 kSPS throughput are sufficient for the application signal bandwidth. Consider the single-ended input configuration if differential signaling is not required by the sensor interface. Evaluate the external reference requirement against system complexity constraints compared to internal reference alternatives within the same product family.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the ADS831x series of microPower SAR ADCs from Texas Instruments. It shares architectural similarities with the ADS8319 but differs in input configuration, supporting single-ended inputs rather than pseudo-differential or fully differential options found in other variants. The series emphasizes compact form factors suitable for modern miniaturized electronic designs.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The ADS8319 serves as a functional alternative within the same series, offering similar performance metrics but supporting pseudo-differential inputs instead of single-ended configurations. Designers must verify input stage compatibility when substituting between these specific model numbers.
