ADS8324E/250G4

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS8324E/250G4 is a 14-bit high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Texas Instruments, designed for micropower sampling applications. It operates on a single 1.8V supply and features a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. The device supports a maximum sampling rate of 200 kSPS with an input range compatible with 1.8V signals. It utilizes a serial interface compatible with standard SPI protocols for data output. The component is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package and is rated for operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Micropower operation enabled by a single 1.8V supply voltage
• High-speed 14-bit resolution with 200 kSPS sampling capability

• Industrial process control data acquisition
• Medical equipment requiring low power consumption
• Automotive sensor interfaces

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix G4 indicates lead-free compliance when sourcing. Confirm the package type matches the design requirements. Ensure the operating voltage aligns with the 1.8V specification. Check for availability of the E variant for extended temperature ranges if necessary. Validate the supplier's authenticity through authorized channels.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high resolution at moderate speeds with strict power constraints. Compare against the ADS8324 without the G4 suffix if lead-free status is not critical. Consider the ADS8320 or ADS8321 for higher resolution needs. Evaluate the ADS7822 for lower cost options with reduced performance specifications.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the ADS832x family of micropower ADCs from Texas Instruments. It shares architectural similarities with the ADS8320 and ADS8321 but offers 14-bit resolution instead of 16-bit. The series is known for combining speed with low power consumption, making it suitable for portable devices. The G4 suffix typically denotes environmental compliance features.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The ADS8324E/250 is a direct functional equivalent. The ADS8324E/2K5 may be available in different packaging quantities. For higher resolution, consider the ADS8320E/250G4. For lower resolution, the ADS7822 is an alternative.
