AS1530 - 12-Bit 400ksps 8-Channel SAR ADC | ams OSRAM AG
The ams OSRAM AS1530 is a 12-bit, single-supply, low-power, 400 ksps (300 ksps for the -AS1531 variant) successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package. It provides 8 single-ended or 4 differential analog input channels, a serial MICROWIRE-/QSPI-/SPI-compatible interface, and an on-chip 4.096 V internal reference, making it a self-contained data-acquisition front-end for mixed-signal systems.
Key features include ±1 LSB INL (max), ±1 LSB DNL (no missing codes guaranteed), 70 dB SINAD at the Nyquist input frequency, and 4.5 mW typical power dissipation at 400 ksps with a single +2.7 V to +5.25 V supply. The architecture is built around a true SAR core with input track/hold, an internal 4.096 V bandgap reference (also available as an output drive), and a low-noise front-end suitable for sensor, instrumentation, and industrial-control signal chains.
A successive-approximation register (SAR) ADC is the natural choice when wide input bandwidth, deterministic latency, and excellent DC accuracy are required simultaneously. SAR converters sample the input on a track/hold capacitor, then perform a binary search with an internal DAC, producing a conversion result in a fixed number of clock cycles. Unlike sigma-delta ADCs, SAR ADCs offer zero latency, no pipeline delay, and excellent behavior on multiplexed inputs because each channel settles independently. The AS1530 specifically targets the single-supply, multi-channel, low-power tier of the SAR market and is widely used where battery life and small PCB area dominate the BOM.
The AS1530 integrates a high-impedance input multiplexer (8 SE / 4 DI), a configurable unipolar/bipolar input range (±VREF), an internal or external reference option, and a serial interface that supports autonomous scanning across channels. Power-down current drops to sub-1 µA, making the part attractive for duty-cycled portable measurement. The 20-pin TSSOP footprint is industry-standard, allowing straightforward layout migration from older 8-channel 12-bit SAR ADCs such as the MAX1280/MAX1282 or AD7920/AD7928 family when channel count and package align.
Typical applications include 4-20 mA loop-powered sensor transmitters, multi-channel temperature acquisition with RTD/thermocouple front ends, portable instrumentation and data loggers, PLC analog input modules, battery monitoring in UPS/backup systems, and patient-monitoring front ends. The wide supply range and low power allow direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters.
When designing with the AS1530, allocate adequate input-bandwidth settling time by inserting a small RC (typically 1 kΩ + 100 pF) for source impedances above ~500 Ω, and place the 0.1 µF supply bypass as close as possible to VDD. Reference decoupling (10 µF + 0.1 µF) on REF is mandatory for full 12-bit performance.
