ADS7946SRTER

Texas Instruments · Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) · WQFN-16-EP(3x3)

ADS7946SRTER from Texas Instruments, in a WQFN-16-EP(3x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GND power_in Analog and digital power supply ground; all analog and digital signals are referred with respect to this pin.
2 AVDD power_in Analog ADC power supply voltage, rated 2.7 V to 5.25 V.
3 REF input ADC positive reference input; decouple this pin with REFGND, external reference range 2.5 V to AVDD.
4 REFGND power_in Reference return ground; short to analog ground plane.
5 AIN0 input Positive analog input, channel 0, absolute input range -0.2 V to AVDD + 0.2 V.
6 AIN0GND input Ground sense analog input, channel 0, absolute input range -0.2 V to +0.2 V.
7 AIN1GND input Ground sense analog input, channel 1, absolute input range -0.2 V to +0.2 V.
8 AIN1 input Positive analog input, channel 1, absolute input range -0.2 V to AVDD + 0.2 V.
9 NC unconnected Not connected internally; it is recommended to externally short this pin to GND.
10 NC unconnected Not connected internally; it is recommended to externally short this pin to GND.
11 CH SEL input Channel select digital input; low = Channel 0, high = Channel 1; recommended to change within one clock window after CS falling edge.
12 PDEN input Power-down enable digital input, active high at CS rising edge.
13 CS input Chip select digital input signal, active low.
14 SCLK input Serial SPI clock digital input, maximum frequency 40 MHz.
15 SDO tri_state Serial data out tri-state digital output, 20 pF load, VOH = 0.8×DVDD, VOL = 0.2×DVDD.
16 DVDD power_in Digital I/O power supply voltage, rated 1.65 V to AVDD.
17 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
