ADC121C021CIMM

Texas Instruments · Analog To Digital Converters (ADCs) · VSSOP-8-0.65mm

ADC121C021CIMM from Texas Instruments, in a VSSOP-8-0.65mm. 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 SCL input Serial clock input used with SDA to control data transfer in and out of the device; open-drain line that must be pulled to VA with an external pull-up resistor.
2 ALERT output Open-drain alert output configurable as active high or active low, which must be pulled to the supply (VA) with an external pull-up resistor.
3 ADR0 input Tri-level address selection input that sets bits A0 and A1 of the 7-bit slave address.
4 VIN power_in Analog input that can range from GND to VA.
5 VA power_in Power supply and unbuffered reference voltage (+2.7V to +5.5V), which must be free of noise and decoupled to GND.
6 ADR1 input Tri-level address selection input that sets bits A2 and A3 of the 7-bit slave address.
7 GND power_in Ground for all on-chip circuitry.
8 SDA bidirectional Serial data bidirectional connection clocked into or out of the internal 16-bit register with SCL; open-drain line that must be pulled to VA with an external pull-up resistor.
