Fully Integrated 16-bit ADC Touts 65% Smaller Package Size

Texas Instruments Inc.’s ADS1118 16-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC) integrates a programmable gain amplifier (PGA), reference, temperature sensor and four-input multiplexer, all in a 2x1.5mm QFN package—which is 65-percent smaller than any other 16-bit ADC in the market today.

The ADS1118 provides direct, linearized measurements with uncalibrated error guaranteed below 0.5°C from 0°C to 65°C, a 75-percent improvement over the competition. It is also the lowest-power 16-bit ADC, supporting 2V to 5.5V power supplies while consuming only 150µA (typical) to extend the battery life of portable, battery-powered industrial devices for temperature measurement, gas monitoring, industrial process control, and instrumentation applications, to name a few.
