ADS7844N - 12-Bit 8-Channel SAR ADC | Texas Instruments
The Texas Instruments ADS7844N is a 12-bit, 8-channel serial-output sampling analog-to-digital converter with a synchronous serial interface and a 200 kHz conversion rate. It supports eight single-ended input channels or four differential input channels, operates from a single supply, and is available in a 20-pin SSOP package.
A sampling ADC, or successive-approximation-register ADC, converts an analog voltage into a digital code by sampling an input and comparing it with an internal reference through a sequence of approximations. The ADS7844N belongs to the broader ADC, data-converter, and semiconductor hierarchy, and is designed for applications requiring multiple analog measurements, programmable gain, and serial communication with a microcontroller or embedded control system.
Key features include 12-bit resolution, eight selectable channels, single-ended or differential input operation, a 200 kHz conversion rate, and an adjustable reference input that can range from 100 mV to VCC. The input voltage range follows the selected reference voltage, allowing the converter to be scaled for sensors, potentiometers, and low-voltage analog signals. The device also includes shutdown functionality to reduce power dissipation when conversions are not required.
The ADS7844N uses a synchronous serial interface with serial data output, clock input, chip select, and differential or single-ended input multiplexing. Its typical power dissipation is 3 mW when operating from a 5 V supply at a 200 kHz throughput rate. The reference voltage can be selected independently of the supply, which helps define the full-scale conversion range and improves flexibility when analog signals occupy only a portion of the converter input range.
Typical applications include resistive touch-screen controllers, industrial panel interfaces, portable measurement equipment, battery-powered instruments, data acquisition modules, and embedded control systems. A microcontroller can issue a conversion command, select the analog channel, and receive the resulting 12-bit value over the serial interface. In a touch-panel design, the converter can measure the X and Y voltages while its multiplexer and differential-capable inputs support front-end signal conditioning.
When laying out the ADS7844N, keep the analog input traces short, provide a stable reference bypass capacitor, and route serial clock and data traces away from sensitive analog inputs. The 20-pin SSOP package has no exposed pad, so thermal performance depends primarily on the PCB copper area, ambient temperature, and conversion workload. Confirm the complete pin-description table in the manufacturer datasheet before assigning PCB nets.
This page combines the official TI product information, the manufacturer ADS7844 data sheet, and cross-reference results to support component identification, comparison, sourcing, and board-level design. It also provides application guidance, pin-package references, and an explicit distinction between confirmed drop-in alternatives and devices that require functional rather than footprint-level review.
