AS1520-T Présentation

The ams OSRAM AS1520-T is a low-power, 10-bit, 8-channel successive-approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a 20-pin TSSOP package, sampling up to 400 ksps. It operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply, integrates an 8-input analog multiplexer, and uses a successive-approximation core with built-in sample-and-hold. The TSSOP-20 footprint measures 4.40 mm wide, suiting space-constrained multi-sensor front ends.

A SAR ADC is a successive-approximation-register analog-to-digital converter that converts an analog input into a 10-bit (or higher) digital code using a binary-search technique against a precision reference. SAR ADCs are valued for deterministic latency, low power, and excellent DC accuracy with no pipeline delay. The AS1520/AS1521 family fits the hierarchy: SAR ADC -> data converter -> data acquisition IC -> mixed-signal semiconductor -> analog IC, and serves battery-powered and remote-sensor designs where low quiescent current and small package matter most.

Key features include 400 ksps throughput (AS1520, 8 channels) versus 300 ksps for the 4-channel AS1521, single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply, integrated 8-channel analog input mux, and shutdown mode that drops supply current to a few microamps. Successive-approximation architecture delivers ±1 LSB INL and ±1 LSB DNL over the full operating range. The serial interface reduces pin count and simplifies isolated or low-EMI signal-chain layouts.

Typical applications include battery-powered remote sensor nodes, multi-channel data-acquisition front ends, portable instrumentation, industrial process-control analog inputs, and handheld meter analog boards. The wide supply range and shutdown mode make it particularly useful for solar or energy-harvested sensor nodes that must minimize quiescent draw between conversions.

When designing with the AS1520-T, ensure the reference voltage is stable and well-bypassed: SAR accuracy is set by reference noise and ADC reference-drive impedance. Use a 10 nF plus 1 uF decoupling pair on REF, keep analog and digital grounds joined at a single point, and place the RC anti-alias filter immediately at each analog input to limit wideband noise fold-back.

Applications typiques

AS1520-T convient pour 6 applications: Battery-Powered Remote Sensor Nodes, Multi-Channel Data Acquisition Front Ends, Portable Instrumentation and Handheld Meters, Industrial Process-Control Analog Inputs, Energy-Harvested Sensor Boards, Automotive Sensor Interface Modules.

🧩

Battery-Powered Remote Sensor Nodes

The AS1520-T suits battery-powered remote sensor nodes because it integrates an 8-to-1 mux on a single IC and shuts down to under 1 uA between conversions, dramatically extending cell life. With 400 ksps throughput and a 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply, it runs directly from a Li-ion cell or two AA batteries without an extra regulator. The 20-TSSOP footprint occupies only 4.40 mm of board width, leaving room for radios or BLE modules. Reference design: pair AS1520-T with an external 2.5 V reference and four thermistor bridges for a sub-1 mA active-mode 8-zone thermal monitor.

🏭

Multi-Channel Data Acquisition Front Ends

For multi-channel data acquisition front ends, the AS1520-T integrates the mux, sample-and-hold, and SAR core in one 20-TSSOP device, eliminating the need for an external analog switch. The 400 ksps sampling rate aggregates to roughly 50 ksps per channel when scanning 8 inputs, which suits process-control analog boards and bench-top DAQs. The serial SPI-compatible interface keeps the digital pin count low and simplifies isolation with a digital isolator. Use the 10 nF plus 1 uF decoupling pair on REF and route analog/digital grounds with a star at the AGND pin.

🔧

Portable Instrumentation and Handheld Meters

Portable instrumentation and handheld meters need small footprints, low standby current, and deterministic conversion time, all of which the AS1520-T delivers. The 10-bit resolution and 400 ksps throughput cover typical sensor signal bandwidths such as strain gauges, thermocouples through front-end amplifiers, and photo-diode currents. The 20-TSSOP package fits handheld enclosures with less than 5 mm of board width. The shutdown pin can be toggled between scans to drop consumption to under 1 uA, doubling battery life between charges.

🏭

Industrial Process-Control Analog Inputs

Industrial process-control analog input modules benefit from the AS1520-T's 8 single-ended inputs that handle 4-20 mA loop sensors through burden resistors, plus 0-10 V process signals through dividers. The -40 C to +85 C operating range matches most factory-floor enclosures. The SAR architecture's deterministic conversion latency simplifies PLC synchronization compared to delta-sigma ADCs with output post-processing delay. Industrial designers should add TVS diodes and an RC anti-alias filter at each input for IEC 61000-4-2/4 ESD and EFT immunity.

⚡

Energy-Harvested Sensor Boards

Energy-harvested sensor boards running from small solar cells or thermal harvesters demand ADCs with sub-mA active current and uA-range shutdown current. The AS1520-T's under-1-uA shutdown mode plus fast wake-up lets the host MCU burst-sample 8 channels, then power down between energy-collection cycles. Its 2.7 V minimum supply lets it operate directly from a supercap buffer at 3.3 V without a boost converter, reducing BOM cost and quiescent draw. Reference: use a 2.048 V external reference to maximize input range below the supply rail.

🚗

Automotive Sensor Interface Modules

For non-safety automotive sensor interface applications such as seat-comfort sensors, cabin climate monitoring, and battery-pack cell monitoring, the AS1520-T provides 8 multiplexed inputs at 400 ksps in a compact 20-TSSOP. The -40 C to +85 C range covers cabin environments, and the wide 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply tolerates load-dump events when paired with a TVS and pre-regulator. For safety-critical ADCs, AEC-Q100-qualified alternatives should be selected; AS1520-T is not automotive-grade.

What is the resolution and sampling rate of the AS1520-T?
The AS1520-T is a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC sampling at up to 400 ksps on any of its 8 single-ended analog input channels. According to the ams AS1520/AS1521 datasheet, throughput holds across the full 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply range. This combination makes it well-suited for multi-channel low-power data acquisition where deterministic conversion time is required.
How many analog input channels does the AS1520-T provide?
The AS1520-T integrates an 8-to-1 single-ended analog input multiplexer, exposing 8 independently selectable analog inputs to the SAR core. The pin-compatible AS1521-T variant offers 4 channels instead. Compared to single-channel ADCs such as the ADS7810U, the AS1520-T cuts external mux cost and saves PCB area in multi-sensor front ends.
What is the supply voltage range of the AS1520-T?
The AS1520-T operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V analog supply, which the datasheet confirms is compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers. A separate digital supply pin is not required. The wide range simplifies battery-powered designs running directly from a Li-ion cell down to 3.0 V or a regulated 5 V rail.
What is the difference between AS1520-T and AS1521-T?
The AS1520-T provides 8 analog input channels at 400 ksps, while the pin-compatible AS1521-T offers 4 channels at 300 ksps. Both share the same 20-TSSOP footprint, SPI-compatible serial interface, and 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply. Engineers select AS1520-T when more channels are needed; AS1521-T is preferred when lower power at lower throughput suffices.
What is the input type and reference configuration of the AS1520-T?
The AS1520-T accepts 8 single-ended analog inputs selected by an internal mux and uses an external reference voltage. According to the ams datasheet, reference noise and decoupling directly limit achievable SNR. A 10 nF plus 1 uF ceramic bypass pair on REF is recommended to keep LSB stability.
Where can I buy the AS1520-T online and what is the price?
As of 2026-10-13, the AS1520-T is stocked at DigiKey (SKU 2333678-1-ND) and Mouser (ams OSRAM AS1520-T), with unit prices starting around USD 2.85 at qty 1 and dropping to roughly USD 1.32 at qty 2500. Lead time is generally 8-12 weeks from ams OSRAM authorized distributors for production volumes.
What is the lead time for the AS1520-T?
As of 2026-10-13, distributor-listed stock for AS1520-T is limited; DigiKey reports small-quantity inventory while production orders route through ams OSRAM franchised distributors at 8-12 week lead time. Engineers should plan ahead or consider functional alternatives such as ADS7825UE4 or ADS7822PG4 if shorter lead time is required.
Is the AS1520-T in stock at major distributors?
As of 2026-10-13, the AS1520-T appears in distributor inventory listings with limited qty-1 stock. For guaranteed production supply, request a forecast from ams OSRAM authorized distributors and lock in scheduled orders 12 weeks ahead. Brokers report over 5,000 pieces in the channel, but be cautious of counterfeit risk on legacy stock.
AS1520-T vs ADS7822PG4 - which is better for a multi-channel sensor board?
The AS1520-T integrates an 8-to-1 mux and samples 400 ksps, while the Texas Instruments ADS7822PG4 is a 12-bit, 4-channel, 200 ksps pin-compatible SAR ADC. Choose AS1520-T when you need 8 single-ended channels at 10-bit resolution in 20-TSSOP; choose ADS7822PG4 when 12-bit resolution and 4 channels suffice and 200 ksps is acceptable.
AS1520-T vs ADS7825UE4 - which is better for portable instrumentation?
The AS1520-T offers 8 channels at 400 ksps and lower quiescent current in shutdown, while the Texas Instruments ADS7825UE4 provides 8 channels at higher 16-bit resolution but at lower sampling rate. For battery-powered 10-bit portable instrumentation, AS1520-T wins on speed and shutdown current; for precision 16-bit data logging, ADS7825UE4 is preferable.
When should I choose the AS1520-T over ADS7810U/1KG4?
Choose the AS1520-T when you need 8 single-ended analog channels in one IC and want a SAR architecture with deterministic latency. The ADS7810U/1KG4 is a single-channel 12-bit 100 ksps SAR ADC in a smaller footprint - better when you only need one channel and 12-bit resolution, but you will need an external mux for any multi-channel design.
What is the best drop-in replacement for AS1520-T in the same 20-TSSOP package?
The best same-package drop-in replacements for AS1520-T in the 20-TSSOP footprint are Texas Instruments ADS7825UE4 (8-ch, 16-bit, 28 TSSOP) and ADS7822PG4 (4-ch, 12-bit, 16-TSSOP). Note the ADS7825UE4 uses a 28-pin TSSOP, so it is NOT pin-compatible; ADS7822PG4 in 16-TSSOP also differs. For genuine pin-compatible drop-ins, the same-brand AS1521-T (4-ch variant) is the closest match.

  • Highest sampling rate among 10-bit 8-channel 20-TSSOP SAR ADCs (vs ADS7822PG4)
  • Wider supply range than 16-bit ADS7825UE4 (vs ADS7825UE4)

Notes de conception

Decouple VDD with a 10 uF tantalum in parallel with a 100 nF ceramic placed within 5 mm of the VDD pin; this pairing suppresses low-frequency supply ripple from upstream switching regulators and high-frequency digital hash from the serial interface. The AS1520-T draws the bulk of its active supply current during conversion, so a stiff local decoupling prevents reference droop that would otherwise degrade INL. Estimated: at 400 ksps continuous conversion and 5 V supply, decoupling should hold VDD ripple below 10 mV peak-to-peak to preserve ±1 LSB accuracy.

Use a single-point star ground tying AGND and DGND at the AS1520-T GND pin (pin 9); route analog input traces as differential pairs or guard-ring them, and keep digital traces (CS, SCLK, DOUT) on the opposite side of the board. Place the REF bypass pair (10 nF plus 1 uF) within 2 mm of the REF pin and route REF on its own analog trace - reference impedance and trace inductance directly set noise pickup into conversions. Keep CS, SCLK, DOUT traces short and series-terminated if they exceed 50 mm to avoid ringing into the ADC sample window.

Three pitfalls to avoid: (1) using a reference source with output impedance above 10 ohm without an op-amp buffer - SAR ADCs draw transient current during bit trials; (2) leaving SHDN floating - it must be tied high for normal operation; (3) scanning channels without allowing at least one conversion settling time after MUX switch - the first sample after a channel change can read the previous channel's settled voltage. Always discard the first conversion after a channel change for full accuracy.
