Selection Guide

Choose the ADS8900B when you need 20-bit resolution at 1 MSPS with integrated reference buffer and LDO for simplified design. If you require higher sampling rates, consider the ADS8902B (2 MSPS) or ADS8904B (4 MSPS) within the same family. For cost-sensitive applications where 18-bit resolution is sufficient, the ADS8910B is a suitable drop-in alternative. The ADS8920B offers 16-bit resolution for even lower cost. All these parts share the same VQFN-20 package and pinout, enabling PCB layout reuse. For applications not requiring an integrated reference buffer, the ADS8887 is an alternative but requires external components. Evaluate your resolution, speed, and power requirements to select the optimal part.

Key Differentiators

  • Integrated reference buffer and LDO (vs ADS8887)
  • Higher resolution (vs ADS8910B)
  • Pin-to-pin compatibility with family (vs ADS8920B)

Design Notes

The ADS8900B has separate analog (AVDD) and digital (DVDD) supplies. Use low-impedance decoupling capacitors (e.g., 0.1 Β΅F and 10 Β΅F) close to each supply pin. The integrated LDO can be used to generate the reference voltage, but for highest accuracy, consider an external low-noise reference. Ensure the analog supply is clean and isolated from digital switching noise to maintain SNR.

Place the ADS8900B close to the signal source to minimize trace length and reduce noise pickup. Use a solid ground plane and separate analog and digital ground areas, connecting them at a single point. Route the SPI lines away from analog inputs to avoid crosstalk. The VQFN package has an exposed pad; solder it to the ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.

Avoid exceeding the absolute maximum ratings on any pin. Ensure the reference voltage is stable and within the specified range. The SPI interface must be configured correctly for the desired sampling rate and data format. Do not leave unused pins floating; tie them to appropriate levels. Also, consider the input common-mode range to avoid saturation.
