ADC0838CCN/NOPB Übersicht

The Texas Instruments ADC0838CCN/NOPB is an 8-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with a serial I/O interface and a configurable 4- or 8-channel analog input multiplexer, housed in a 20-pin PDIP (through-hole) package. Per the manufacturer datasheet, it operates with both analog and digital supplies from 4.5 V to 6.3 V (typically 5 V), supports differential, pseudo-differential, or single-ended inputs, and reaches a maximum conversion rate of approximately 31 kSPS. The /NOPB suffix denotes a Pb-free (lead-free) finish with the standard DIP-20 footprint.

An SAR ADC (Successive Approximation Register Analog-to-Digital Converter) is a type of data converter that resolves one bit per clock cycle using a binary-search algorithm against a precision DAC. SAR ADCs sit in the broader taxonomy of analog-to-digital converters -> data converters -> mixed-signal ICs -> semiconductor. They are valued for deterministic latency, low power, and ease of use in microcontroller-based systems where no dedicated high-speed ADC peripheral exists.

Key features include an external reference voltage input (ratio-metric conversions supported), a separate analog and digital supply path for noise isolation, a 4- or 8-channel input MUX configurable via the serial interface, and a true differential comparator stage. The SPI-compatible serial data interface reduces MCU pin count and simplifies PCB routing compared to parallel-output ADCs of the same era.

Typical applications include multi-channel sensor monitoring panels, industrial process instrumentation, panel meters, battery monitoring systems, hand-held test gear, and legacy embedded designs requiring drop-in replacement of the original ADC0838 die. The 20-pin PDIP package remains popular for through-hole prototyping, educational kits, and repair of older equipment.

When designing with the ADC0838, ensure the analog and digital supplies are decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramics placed close to the VCC and V+ pins, and respect the maximum source impedance of the analog inputs (per the datasheet typical-application section). For new designs prefer the surface-mount ADC0838CCWM/NOPB (SOIC-20) variant.

Typische Anwendungen

ADC0838CCN/NOPB ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Multi-Channel Sensor Monitoring Panel, Industrial Process Instrumentation, Hand-Held Digital Multimeter / Test Equipment, Battery Monitoring System (BMS) for Multi-Cell Packs, Legacy Through-Hole Embedded Controller Repair, Educational Lab Board and Microcontroller Trainer.

🏭

Multi-Channel Sensor Monitoring Panel

The ADC0838CCN/NOPB fits multi-sensor panels because it provides up to 8 multiplexed analog inputs in a single chip, allowing one converter to scan temperature, pressure, flow, and level transducers sequentially. The 31 kSPS throughput comfortably handles sub-1 kHz per-channel updates, and the 4.5 V to 6.3 V supply is compatible with 5 V transducer excitation. Used between the sensor bridge outputs and an MCU SPI bus with 0.1 µF decoupling; unlike an integrating ADC it offers deterministic latency, simplifying time-stamped logging. Pin-compatible SMD variant ADC0838CCWM/NOPB exists for higher-density boards.

🏭

Industrial Process Instrumentation

Process instruments such as panel meters, loop-powered transmitters, and weigh-scale readouts benefit from the ADC0838CCN/NOPB's 8-bit resolution and differential-input capability, which reject common-mode noise from 4-20 mA loops. The 5 V single-supply operation simplifies power-tree design, while the external reference allows ratio-metric ratiometric conversions against a precision 5.000 V reference. Placed between the analog front-end (INA128 or similar instrumentation amp) and the host MCU; provides 31 kSPS headroom over typical 10 Hz update rates, leaving room for fast transient capture.

🔧

Hand-Held Digital Multimeter / Test Equipment

Hand-held DMMs and battery-powered test gear use the ADC0838CCN/NOPB because it offers 4 or 8 channels at sub-mW quiescent consumption from a 5 V rail, extending battery life between charges. The serial SPI interface saves MCU pins, allowing smaller microcontrollers in compact housings. The 8-bit resolution is sufficient for coarse voltage, current, and resistance readouts in low-cost consumer test tools. Placed on a daughter PCB near the range-switch relays; unlike higher-resolution SARs it requires no special grounding or guard-ring layout, simplifying hand-held design.

⚡

Battery Monitoring System (BMS) for Multi-Cell Packs

Multi-cell battery monitors use the ADC0838CCN/NOPB to scan 4 to 8 individual cell voltages sequentially through a multiplexer, providing per-cell voltage telemetry for state-of-charge estimation. The differential input capability rejects ground bounce across long battery harnesses, and the 5 V supply is convenient for 4-cell Li-ion packs with cell voltages up to 4.2 V. Placed after the cell-balancing FETs and before the MCU; provides 31 kSPS throughput so even 8 cells at 1 kHz each leaves margin for additional temperature-sensor sweeps.

🔧

Legacy Through-Hole Embedded Controller Repair

Repairing legacy industrial controllers, scientific instruments, and educational kits requires a like-for-like through-hole part, and the ADC0838CCN/NOPB ships in a 20-pin PDIP that drops directly into the original ADC0838CCN socket. The /NOPB suffix adds a Pb-free finish, satisfying RoHS rework requirements while keeping the original through-hole footprint, standoffs, and wave-solder-compatible leads. Placed into the original ADC0838 socket; allows reuse of existing PCB, firmware, and front-panel design with zero hardware redesign versus the original ADC0838CCN.

🎓

Educational Lab Board and Microcontroller Trainer

University electronics labs and hobbyist microcontroller trainers use the ADC0838CCN/NOPB because its 20-pin PDIP form factor is breadboard-friendly and the serial interface can be bit-banged by any MCU for teaching ADC theory. The 8-bit resolution and 4- or 8-channel input make it a versatile teaching vehicle for SAR conversion, multiplexer scanning, and SPI protocol exercises. Placed on a trainer PCB with potentiometers and thermistor inputs; the through-hole package survives repeated insertion into solderless breadboards, unlike finer-pitch SMD alternatives.

What is the resolution and sampling rate of ADC0838CCN/NOPB?
The ADC0838CCN/NOPB is an 8-bit SAR ADC with a maximum sampling rate of approximately 31 kSPS, per the Texas Instruments datasheet. It uses a successive-approximation architecture and a serial (SPI-compatible) data interface, making it suitable for low-to-medium speed multi-channel conversion in microcontroller-based systems.
How many analog input channels does the ADC0838CCN/NOPB support?
The ADC0838CCN/NOPB supports 4 or 8 input channels, configurable through the serial interface. Channels can be wired as differential, pseudo-differential, or single-ended inputs. This makes the part ideal for multi-sensor applications where one ADC can scan several analog signals sequentially.
What is the supply voltage range of the ADC0838CCN/NOPB?
The ADC0838CCN/NOPB operates from 4.5 V to 6.3 V on both the analog and digital supplies, with 5 V being the typical operating point, per the manufacturer datasheet. Separate VCC and V+ pins allow independent decoupling for noise isolation between the analog input and the digital logic sections.
What package does the ADC0838CCN/NOPB come in?
The ADC0838CCN/NOPB ships in a 20-pin PDIP (Plastic DIP, 0.300" / 7.62 mm body width) through-hole package. The /NOPB suffix indicates a Pb-free (lead-free) matte-tin finish that complies with RoHS. The CCN suffix marks the commercial temperature grade and PDIP form factor.
Where can I buy ADC0838CCN/NOPB online and what is the price?
You can buy the ADC0838CCN/NOPB from authorized distributors including DigiKey (sku 32443), Mouser, and Octopart-listed resellers (as of 2026-10-12). The qty-1 unit price is approximately USD 5.42, with volume breaks down to about USD 3.21 at 1,000 pieces. Stock is generally available at major distributors.
What is the lead time for ADC0838CCN/NOPB?
Lead time for the ADC0838CCN/NOPB is typically same-day to 2 weeks from DigiKey, Mouser, and TI store inventory (as of 2026-10-12). Because the part is in active production at Texas Instruments, lead times are short for production volumes. For very large orders, request a quote directly from TI for the most accurate schedule.
Is the ADC0838CCN/NOPB in stock right now?
Yes, the ADC0838CCN/NOPB is listed as in stock at DigiKey and Mouser as of 2026-10-12. Both distributors show immediate shipping availability for small quantities and factory lead times for high-volume orders. Real-time inventory can be checked via the distributor product pages or on Octopart, which aggregates 17 distributors.
What is the difference between ADC0838CCN/NOPB and ADC0834CCN?
Both the ADC0838CCN/NOPB and the ADC0834CCN are 8-bit SAR ADCs with serial I/O from the same Texas Instruments ADC083x family, but the ADC0838 supports 4 or 8 input channels while the ADC0834 supports only 2 or 4 channels. Per the Xecor parametric comparison, both share the same DIP-20 package and the same 4.5 V to 6.3 V supply range, so they are pin-compatible family members differing only in input-multiplexer width.
What is the difference between ADC0838CCN/NOPB and ADC0832CCN?
The ADC0838CCN/NOPB is a 20-pin PDIP with 4 or 8 analog input channels, while the ADC0832CCN is an 8-pin PDIP with only 2 channels, per the Xecor comparison page. They share the same serial interface family and 4.5 V to 6.3 V supply range, but the ADC0832 is a different package and a different pinout — it is NOT a drop-in replacement for the ADC0838.
When should I choose ADC0838CCN/NOPB over ADC0831CCN?
Choose the ADC0838CCN/NOPB when you need 4 or 8 multiplexed input channels in a single chip; choose the ADC0831CCN when only a single analog input is needed, per the Xecor comparison. The ADC0831 is a 1-channel, 8-pin version of the same family. Both share 8-bit SAR architecture and serial I/O, so the decision is essentially about how many input channels your application requires.
What is the best drop-in replacement for ADC0838CCN/NOPB?
The closest drop-in replacement is the ADC0838CCN itself (without the /NOPB suffix is non-RoHS), or the ADC0838CCWM/NOPB if you can switch from PDIP-20 to SOIC-20 surface-mount. Per TI cross-reference guidance, the ADC0834CCN provides 4 instead of 8 channels in the same 20-PDIP footprint, making it a pin-compatible family alternative but not a true drop-in.
Where can I download the ADC0838CCN/NOPB datasheet PDF?
The official ADC0838CCN/NOPB datasheet PDF is available from Texas Instruments at https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/adc0838.pdf. Distributor-hosted copies can be found on DigiKey (product page 32443), Mouser, and third-party aggregators such as AllDatasheet. The document covers electrical characteristics, timing, pinout, and the serial-interface protocol.
Where do I find the ADC0838CCN/NOPB pinout?
The ADC0838CCN/NOPB pinout for the 20-pin PDIP package is documented on page 1 (Pin Configuration) and the Electrical Characteristics section of the Texas Instruments datasheet. The pin diagram is also rendered on the XAIPART product page using the standard DIP-20 SVG library so that pin 1, GND, VCC, VREF, and the serial I/O signals are clearly labeled.
Is the ADC0838CCN/NOPB the same as the original ADC0838CCN?
The ADC0838CCN/NOPB is the modern RoHS-compliant (Pb-free matte-tin finish) version of the legacy ADC0838CCN, which used a lead-based finish, per Texas Instruments part-numbering conventions. Electrically they are identical: same die, same 20-PDIP pinout, same 4.5 V to 6.3 V supply, same 8-bit SAR architecture. The only change is the lead finish for environmental compliance.
What are the key specifications engineers must know about ADC0838CCN/NOPB?
Engineers should remember five key facts about the ADC0838CCN/NOPB: it is an 8-bit SAR ADC; it supports 4 or 8 input channels via an internal MUX; it runs from a single 4.5 V to 6.3 V supply with separate analog/digital pins; it communicates over a 4-wire SPI-compatible serial interface; and it requires an external reference voltage. Per the TI datasheet, the through-hole 20-PDIP package (ADC0838CCN/NOPB) is in active production.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • 8-channel MUX in 20-PDIP (vs. ADC0834CCN/NOPB)
  • RoHS-compliant Pb-free finish (vs. ADC0838CCN (legacy))
  • Through-hole PDIP form factor for legacy designs (vs. ADC0838CCWM/NOPB (SOIC-20))

Designhinweise

The ADC0838CCN/NOPB has separate analog (V+) and digital (VCC) supply pins both rated 4.5 V to 6.3 V. Place a 10 µF bulk capacitor at the board supply entry and a 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling cap within 5 mm of each of the V+ and VCC pins. Star-ground the analog and digital returns back at the regulator to prevent digital switching noise from corrupting conversions. If the analog front-end draws large transient currents, add a small ferrite bead between V+ and VCC to further isolate the analog reference from digital rail noise.

Route the analog input traces (CH0-CH7) as short as possible and keep them away from the serial-interface lines (CLK, DO, DI, /CS). Place a ground plane under the analog traces and ensure the reference voltage (VREF) is driven by a low-impedance buffer (e.g., an op-amp follower or a dedicated reference such as TL431). Avoid running digital signals directly over the analog input area on inner PCB layers, as capacitive coupling can introduce conversion errors. Estimated: 0.1 µF X7R ceramic on VREF within 3 mm of the pin keeps reference settling under 1 µs.

The ADC0838 serial interface is SPI-compatible but uses a custom MUX-address protocol on the DI pin during the first clock cycles. Drive CLK with a clean 50% duty-cycle waveform; ringing or excessive capacitance on CLK can cause the converter to latch incorrect MUX addresses. Source-terminate CLK with a 100 Ω resistor in series if the trace exceeds 50 mm. The DO pin is a totem-pole output; place a 100 kΩ pull-up if your MCU SPI peripheral requires a defined idle-high state, although the ADC0838 actively drives DO high between conversions.

Do not leave any analog input (CH0-CH7) floating; tie unused channels to ground through 10 kΩ to prevent the internal MUX from picking up noise. The /CS pin must be pulled high between conversions to allow the serial interface to reset. Do not exceed VREF above VCC + 0.3 V or below GND - 0.3 V, as the absolute-maximum ratings are tight on this legacy part. Finally, observe the maximum analog input source-impedance spec (typically 1 kΩ at 31 kSPS) - higher impedances cause integral-linearity errors due to the input sampling capacitor.
