Texas Instruments · Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) · VQFN-48-EP(7x7)

ADS1258IRTCT from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-48-EP(7x7). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 AIN3 input Analog input 3 for single-ended channel 3 or differential channel 1 (-).
2 AIN2 input Analog input 2 for single-ended channel 2 or differential channel 1 (+).
3 AIN1 input Analog input 1 for single-ended channel 1 or differential channel 0 (-).
4 AIN0 input Analog input 0 for single-ended channel 0 or differential channel 0 (+).
5 AVSS power_in Negative analog power supply: 0V for unipolar operation or -2.5V for bipolar operation; internally connected to exposed thermal pad.
6 AVDD power_in Positive analog power supply: +5V for unipolar operation or +2.5V for bipolar operation.
7 PLLCAP passive PLL bypass capacitor connection point; connect 22nF capacitor to AVSS when using crystal oscillator.
8 XTAL1 passive 32.768kHz crystal oscillator input terminal 1.
9 XTAL2 passive 32.768kHz crystal oscillator input terminal 2.
10 PWDN input Power-down input; hold low for minimum of two fCLK cycles to engage low-power mode.
11 RESET input Reset input; hold low for minimum of two fCLK cycles to reset the device.
12 CLKSEL input Clock source select input; low activates crystal oscillator with clock output on CLKIO, high disables oscillator and applies external fCLK to CLKIO.
13 CLKIO bidirectional System clock input/output; serves as output when CLKSEL is low (crystal oscillator mode) or input when CLKSEL is high (external clock mode).
14 GPIO0 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output 0; programmable as input or output via register settings.
15 GPIO1 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output 1; programmable as input or output via register settings.
16 GPIO2 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output 2; programmable as input or output via register settings.
17 GPIO3 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output 3; programmable as input or output via register settings.
18 GPIO4 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output 4; programmable as input or output via register settings.
19 GPIO5 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output 5; programmable as input or output via register settings.
20 GPIO6 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output 6; programmable as input or output via register settings.
21 GPIO7 bidirectional General-purpose digital input/output 7; programmable as input or output via register settings.
22 SCLK input SPI clock input; data clocked in on rising edge and clocked out on falling edge.
23 DIN input SPI data input; serial data is input to the device via this pin.
24 DOUT output SPI data output; serial data is output from the device; tri-states high when CS is inactive.
25 DRDY output Data ready output; active low when new conversion data is available.
26 START input Start conversion input; active high to initiate analog-to-digital conversion.
27 CS input SPI chip select input; active low to enable SPI communication, can be tied low for continuous operation.
28 DVDD power_in Digital power supply; operates at 2.7V to 5.25V.
29 DGND power_in Digital ground connection.
30 VREFN input Reference input negative; recommend 10μF tantalum with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor across reference pins for rated performance.
31 VREFP input Reference input positive; recommend 10μF tantalum with 0.1μF ceramic capacitor across reference pins for rated performance.
32 AINCOM input Analog input common; common reference point connected to all single-ended analog inputs.
33 AIN15 input Analog input 15 for single-ended channel 15 or differential channel 7 (-).
34 AIN14 input Analog input 14 for single-ended channel 14 or differential channel 7 (+).
35 AIN13 input Analog input 13 for single-ended channel 13 or differential channel 6 (-).
36 AIN12 input Analog input 12 for single-ended channel 12 or differential channel 6 (+).
37 AIN11 input Analog input 11 for single-ended channel 11 or differential channel 5 (-).
38 AIN10 input Analog input 10 for single-ended channel 10 or differential channel 5 (+).

40 AIN8 input Analog input 8 for single-ended channel 8 or differential channel 4 (+).
41 ADCINN input ADC differential input negative; part of external multiplexer output signal conditioning path.
42 ADCINP input ADC differential input positive; part of external multiplexer output signal conditioning path.
43 MUXOUTN output Multiplexer differential output negative; accessible for external signal conditioning prior to ADC input.
44 MUXOUTP output Multiplexer differential output positive; accessible for external signal conditioning prior to ADC input.
45 AIN7 input Analog input 7 for single-ended channel 7 or differential channel 3 (-).
46 AIN6 input Analog input 6 for single-ended channel 6 or differential channel 3 (+).
47 AIN5 input Analog input 5 for single-ended channel 5 or differential channel 2 (-).
