ADS8331IPWR

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS8331IPWR is a low-power, 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a single-polarity 4-channel multiplexer and supports sampling rates up to 500 kSPS. The device operates with an analog supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and a separate digital I/O supply ranging from 1.65 V to VA. Key electrical specifications include a typical integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1.2 LSB at 2.7 V and a maximum of ±2 LSB. At 5 V supply and 1 kHz input frequency, it achieves a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 91.5 dB, spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 101 dB, and total harmonic distortion (THD) of -100 dB. Power consumption is 8.7 mW in Auto-NAP mode at 250 kSPS and 14.2 mW at 500 kSPS with VA = 2.7 V.

• Medical instrumentation devices needing high-resolution signal conversion
• Communications equipment utilizing wide dynamic range signal processing
• Portable battery-powered test and measurement instruments

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the IPWR suffix indicates the TSSOP-24 package variant when sourcing. Confirm the specific revision level matches design requirements for industrial temperature ranges spanning -40°C to +85°C. Ensure supply voltages align with the specified 2.7 V to 5.5 V analog and 1.65 V minimum digital rails. Cross-reference official datasheets for pinout configurations to prevent integration errors during PCB layout.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select the ADS8331IPWR over the ADS8332 if only four single-ended input channels are required, as the latter provides eight channels on the same core. Consider the TSSOP-24 package for easier prototyping compared to the QFN option. Evaluate power constraints against the 8.7 mW Auto-NAP consumption if battery life is critical. Verify that the 500 kSPS maximum sampling rate meets the bandwidth requirements of the target application signals.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This component belongs to the ADS833x family of low-power SAR ADCs from Texas Instruments. It shares architectural similarities with the ADS8332, differing primarily in the number of integrated multiplexer channels. The series is designed for applications demanding high accuracy and low power consumption in compact form factors. It complements other data converters in the portfolio by offering a balance between resolution, speed, and interface flexibility.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The ADS8332 serves as a direct functional substitute if additional input channels are needed, sharing identical core performance metrics. For pin-compatible alternatives within the same package, verify specific channel count requirements. No other direct cross-model replacements are confirmed in public documentation without evaluating specific system constraints.
