Mingjiada Electronics Supply TI ADS7142 140kSPS Dual-Channel 12-Bit Nanopower SAR Analog-To-Digital Converter

Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. — Long-term supplier of the TI (Texas Instruments) ADS7142, a nanoampere-class, dual-channel, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) analogue-to-digital converter. This device supports I²C, automatic monitoring and threshold alarms, and is suitable for battery-powered sensors, portable medical devices, industrial monitoring and IoT terminals. Mingjiada Electronics supports both sample procurement and bulk supply, providing highly integrated solutions for low-power signal acquisition and condition monitoring.

Product Overview:
The ADS7142 is an ultra-low-power, dual-channel, 12-bit SAR ADC launched by TI, featuring an I²C-compatible serial interface and supporting automatic monitoring mode and programmable threshold alarms. Designed for power- and space-constrained applications, this device autonomously samples and compares analogue signals whilst the system’s main controller is in sleep mode or operating at a low duty cycle, thereby helping to reduce overall system power consumption. The ADS7142 features a compact package and a simple peripheral circuit, making it suitable for compact PCB designs.
Compared to traditional ADC solutions that require continuous polling by the host controller, the ADS7142’s automatic monitoring and threshold alarm functions delegate certain monitoring tasks to the ADC itself, reducing the number of times the host is woken up and thereby optimising the energy efficiency of battery-powered systems.
