ADS8517IBDW

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The ADS8517IBDW is a low-power, 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a single-ended input and operates with an analog supply voltage ranging from 4.75 V to 5.25 V. The device supports a maximum sampling rate of 200 kSPS and utilizes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) for data communication. It includes an internal oscillator and offers both external and internal reference options. The component is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and is rated for operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Integrates a 16-bit SAR ADC core with a built-in sample-and-hold amplifier for high-precision signal acquisition.
• Features an internal oscillator to simplify system design by reducing external component count.
• Supports flexible reference configurations with options for both external and internal voltage references.
• Provides a standard SPI-compatible digital interface for straightforward microcontroller integration.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring precise analog signal monitoring
• Medical instrumentation devices needing high-resolution data conversion
• Data acquisition systems in automated testing equipment

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IBDW' corresponds to the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and the SOIC-16 package configuration. Confirm that the required sampling rate of 200 kSPS aligns with the application's bandwidth needs. Ensure power supply rails match the specified 4.75 V to 5.25 V range for both analog and digital domains to maintain performance specifications.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, 16-bit resolution is required at moderate speeds up to 200 kSPS. It is suitable for applications where low power consumption is critical but higher precision than 12-bit devices is necessary. Consider alternative models like the ADS8513 if a lower sampling rate of 40 kSPS is sufficient, or the ADS8519 if daisy-chaining capabilities are needed for multi-channel setups.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

The ADS8517 belongs to the ADS851x family of low-power, 16-bit SAR ADCs from Texas Instruments. This family is designed for general-purpose data acquisition applications. The IB suffix indicates an extended industrial temperature range, while DW denotes the 16-pin SOIC package. It serves as a mid-range solution between lower-speed and higher-speed variants in the product line.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

The ADS8513IBDW is a compatible alternative offering similar 16-bit resolution but with a reduced sampling rate of 40 kSPS. For applications requiring daisy-chain functionality, the ADS8519IBDB provides comparable performance with additional connectivity features. Verify pinout compatibility and software driver support when substituting these parts.
