Analog to Digital Converters

ADS7960SDBTR Description

The ADS7960SDBTR from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, 8-bit SAR analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for precision data acquisition in low-power embedded systems. Packaged in a compact 38-TSSOP form factor and supplied in tape & reel (TR), it integrates a single ADC with 12 single-ended inputs, supporting a 1 MSPS sampling rate. The device operates with dual supply voltages (2.7V–5.25V analog, 1.7V–5.25V digital), making it versatile for mixed-voltage designs. Its SPI-compatible interface ensures seamless communication with microcontrollers or DSPs, while the external reference architecture allows flexibility in voltage scaling.

ADS7960SDBTR Features

• Ultra-Low Power Consumption: Part of the microPOWER™ series, optimized for battery-powered applications.
• High-Speed 1 MSPS Sampling: Ideal for real-time signal processing in industrial and automotive systems.
• Wide Supply Range: Supports 1.7V–5.25V digital logic, enabling compatibility with modern low-voltage processors.
• 12-Channel Single-Ended Inputs: Simplifies multiplexing for multi-sensor environments (e.g., temperature, pressure).
• SAR Architecture: Delivers deterministic latency and high accuracy (±1 LSB INL/DNL).
• Robust Packaging: MSL 2 (1 Year) rated for extended shelf life in humid environments.

ADS7960SDBTR Applications

• Portable Medical Devices: ECG monitors and glucose meters benefit from its low power and high resolution.
• Industrial Automation: Motor control and PLCs leverage its fast sampling for closed-loop feedback.
• Automotive Sensors: Engine management systems use its wide voltage range for noise immunity.
• Consumer Electronics: Touch panels and smart meters capitalize on its SPI interface for easy integration.

Conclusion of ADS7960SDBTR

The ADS7960SDBTR stands out for its low-power operation, high-speed sampling, and multi-channel capability, making it a superior choice over generic 8-bit ADCs. Its flexible supply range and small footprint cater to space-constrained designs, while the SPI interface reduces system complexity. Engineers targeting battery-powered, high-efficiency systems will find this ADC exceptionally reliable for precision measurement tasks.
