The device operates with a 2.5-V to 5-V external reference, offering a wide selection of signal ranges without additional input signal scaling. The reference voltage setting is independent of, and can exceed, the analog supply voltage (AVDD). The device that also cascading indicator bit easy. offers an SPI-compatible serial interface supports daisy-chain operation for multiple devices. An optional busymakes synchronizing with the digital host The device supports unipolar, true-differential analog input signals with a differential input swing of –VREF to +VREF. This true-differential analog input structure allows for a common-mode voltage of any value in the range of 0 V to +VREF (when both inputs are within the operating input range of –0.1 V to VREF + 0.1 V). Device operation is optimized for very low-power operation. Power consumption directly scales with speed. This feature makes the ADS8883 excellent for lower-speed applications.

This compact device features high performance. Power consumption is inherently low and scales linearly with sampling speed. The architecture is based on charge redistribution, which inherently includes a sample-and-hold (S/H) function. The ADS8883 supports a true-differential analog input across two pins (INP and INN). When a conversion is initiated, the differential input on these pins is sampled on the internal capacitor array. While a conversion is in progress, both the INP and INN inputs are disconnected from the internal circuit. The ADS8883 uses an internal clock to perform conversions. The device reconnects the sampling capacitors to the INP and INN pins after conversion and then enters an acquisition phase. During the acquisition phase, the device is powered down and the conversion result can be read. The device digital output is available in SPI-compatible format, which makes interfacing with microprocessors, digital signal processors (DSPs), or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) easy. ANALOG INPUT As shown in Figure 45, the device features a differential analog input. Both positive and negative inputs are individually sampled on 55-pF sampling capacitors and the device converts for the voltage difference between the two sampled values: VINP – VINN.

As shown in Figure 46, the device has a unique common-mode voltage detection and rejection block that does not have this restriction and thus allows VCM to be set to any value between 0 V and VREF without degrading device performance.

The switching frequency is proportional to the internal conversion clock frequency but the dynamic charge requirements are a function of the absolute value of the input voltage and reference voltage. This dynamic load must be supported by a reference driver circuit without degrading the noise and linearity performance of the device. During the acquisition process, the device automatically powers down and does not take any dynamic current from the external reference source. The basic circuit diagram for such a reference driver circuit for precision ADCs is shown in Figure 48. Refer to the ADC Reference Driver section for more details on the application circuits.

Conversion duration may vary but is bounded by the minimum and maximum value of tconv, as specified in the Timing Characteristics section. An external SCLK is only used for a serial data read operation. Data are read after a conversion completes and when the device is in acquisition phase for the next sample.

The device output is in twos compliment format. Figure 49 shows ideal characteristics for the device. The full-scale range for the ADC input (AINP – AINN) is equal to twice the reference input voltage to the ADC (2 × VREF).

Differential Transfer Characteristics DIGITAL INTERFACE The ADS8883 is a low pin-count device. However, the device offers six different options for interfacing with the digital host. These options can be broadly classified as being either CS mode (in either a 3- or 4-wire interface) or daisychain mode. The device operates in CS mode if DIN is high at the CONVST rising edge. If DIN is low at the CONVST rising edge, or if DIN and CONVST are connected together, the device operates in daisy-chain mode. In both modes, the device can either operate with or without a busy indicator, where the busy indicator is a bit preceding the output data bits that can be used to interrupt the digital host and trigger the data transfer. The 3-wire interface in CS mode is useful for applications that need galvanic isolation on-board. The 4-wire interface in CS mode allows the user to sample the analog input independent of the serial interface timing and, therefore, allows easier control of an individual device while having multiple, similar devices on-board. The daisychain mode is provided to hook multiple devices in a chain similar to a shift register and is useful in reducing component count and the number of signal traces on the board. CS Mode CS mode is selected if DIN is high at the CONVST rising edge. There are four different interface options available in this mode: 3-wire CS mode without a busy indicator, 3-wire CS mode with a busy indicator, 4-wire CS mode without a busy indicator, and 4-wire CS mode with a busy indicator. The following sections discuss these interface options in detail. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS8883 ADS8883 www.ti.com SBAS567A – MAY 2013 – REVISED DECEMBER 2013 3-Wire CS Mode Without a Busy Indicator This interface option is most useful when a single ADC is connected to an SPI-compatible digital host. In this interface option, DIN can be connected to DVDD and CONVST functions as CS (as shown in Figure 50). As shown in Figure 51, a CONVST rising edge forces DOUT to 3-state, samples the input signal, and causes the device to enter a conversion phase. Conversion is done with the internal clock and continues regardless of the state of CONVST. As a result, CONVST (functioning as CS) can be pulled low after the start of the conversion to select other devices on the board. However, CONVST must return high before the minimum conversion time (tconv-min) elapses and is held high until the maximum possible conversion time (tconv-max) elapses. A high level on CONVST at the end of the conversion ensures the device does not generate a busy indicator. DVDD DIN CONVST CNV SCLK CLK DOUT SDI ADC Digital Host Figure 50.

Interface Timing Diagram: 3-Wire CS Mode Without a Busy Indicator (DIN = 1) When conversion is complete, the device enters an acquisition phase and powers down. CONVST (functioning as CS) can be brought low after the maximum conversion time (tconv-max) elapses. On the CONVST falling edge, DOUT comes out of 3-state and the device outputs the MSB of the data. The lower data bits are output on subsequent SCLK falling edges. Data are valid on both SCLK edges. Data are valid on both edges of SCLK and can be captured on either edge. However, a digital host capturing data on the SCLK falling edge can achieve a faster reading rate (provided th_CK_DO is acceptable). DOUT goes to 3-state after the 18th SCLK falling edge or when CONVST goes high, whichever occurs first.

A total of (18 x N) + 1 SCLK falling edges are required to capture the outputs of all N devices in the chain. Data are valid on both edges of SCLK and can be captured on either edge. However, a digital host capturing data on the SCLK falling edge can achieve a faster reading rate (provided th_CK_DO is acceptable). Note that the busy indicator bits of ADC 1 to ADC N–1 do not propagate to the next device in the chain. POWER SUPPLY The device has two separate power supplies: AVDD and DVDD. The internal circuits of the device operate on AVDD; DVDD is used for the digital interface. AVDD and DVDD can be independently set to any value within the permissible range. Decouple the AVDD and DVDD pins with GND, using individual 1-µF decoupling capacitors placed in close proximity to the pin, as shown in Figure 64.

Referring to Figure 65, the input signal is acquired on the sampling capacitors when the device is in a power-down state (tacq); at the same time, the result for the previous conversion is available for reading. The device powers up on the start of the next conversion. During conversion phase (tconv), the device also consumes current from the reference source (connected to pin REF). tTHROUGHPUT Device Phase tCONV tACQ IREF tACQ ~50000X ~50000X IAVDD tCONV 2 * tTHROUGHPUT ~1200X ~1200X ~2X IAVG(AVDD+REF) Figure 65. Power Scaling with Throughput The conversion time, tconv, is independent of the SCLK frequency. When operating the device at speeds lower than the maximum rated throughput, the conversion time, tconv, does not change; the device spends more time in power-down state. Therefore, as shown in Figure 66, the device power consumption from the AVDD supply and the external reference source is directly proportional to the speed of operation. Extremely low AVDD power-down current (50 nA, typical) and extremely low external reference leakage current (250 nA, typical), make this device ideal for very low throughput applications (such as pulsed measurements).

This section details some general principles for designing these circuits, followed by some application circuits designed using the ADS8883. ADC REFERENCE DRIVER The external reference source to the ADS8883 must provide low-drift and very accurate voltage for the ADC reference input and support the dynamic charge requirements without affecting the noise and linearity performance of the device. The output broadband noise of most references can be in the order of a few 100 μVRMS. Therefore, to prevent any degradation in the noise performance of the ADC, the output of the voltage reference must be appropriately filtered by using a low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of a few hundred Hertz. After band-limiting the noise of the reference circuit, the next important step is to design a reference buffer that can drive the dynamic load posed by the reference input of the ADC. The reference buffer must regulate the voltage at the reference pin such that the value of VREF stays within the 1-LSB error at the start of each conversion. This condition necessitates the use of a large capacitor, CBUF_FLT (refer to Figure 48) for regulating the voltage at the reference input of the ADC. The amplifier selected to drive the reference pin should have an extremely low offset and temperature drift with a low output impedance to drive the capacitor at the ADC reference pin without any stability issues. Reference Driver Circuit for VREF = 4.5 V The application circuit in Figure 67 shows the schematic of a complete reference driver circuit that generates a voltage of 4.5 V dc using a single 5-V supply. This circuit is suitable to drive the reference of the ADS8883 at higher sampling rates up to 680 kSPS. The 4.5-V reference voltage in this design is generated by the highprecision, low-noise REF5045 circuit. The output broadband noise of the reference is heavily filtered by a lowpass filter with a 3-dB cutoff frequency of 160 Hz. 20 k 1 µF - AVDD REF5045 Vin + Vout 1k + 1k + OPA333 AVDD + THS4281 1 µF 0.2 AVDD Temp Gnd 1 µF AVDD REF AVDD V + AINP 10 µF Trim CONVST ADS8883 AINM GND 1 µF Figure 67. Schematic of Reference Driver Circuit with VREF = 4.5 V The reference buffer is designed with the THS4281 and OPA333 in a composite architecture to achieve superior dc and ac performance at a reduced power consumption, compared to using a single high-performance amplifier. The THS4281 is a high-bandwidth amplifier with a very low output impedance of 1 Ω at a frequency of 1 MHz. The low output impedance makes the THS4281 a good choice for driving a high capacitive load to regulate the voltage at the reference input of the ADC. The high offset and drift specifications of the THS4281 are corrected by using a dc-correcting amplifier (OPA333) inside the feedback loop. The composite scheme inherits the extremely low offset and temperature drift specifications of the OPA333.

This ultralow power reference block is suitable to drive the ADS8883 for power-sensitive applications at a relatively lower throughput. This design uses the high-precision REF3325 circuit that provides an accurate 2.5-V reference voltage at an extremely low quiescent current of 5 µA.

Schematic of Reference Driver Circuit with VREF = 2.5 V DC The reference buffer is designed using the low-power OPA333 that can operate from a 3.3-V supply at an extremely low quiescent current of 28 µA. The wideband noise contribution from the amplifier is limited by a lowpass filter of a cutoff frequency equal to 1.5 kHz, formed by a 4.7-Ω resistor in combination with a 22-µF capacitor. The 4.7-Ω series resistor creates an additional drop in the reference voltage, which is corrected by a dual-feedback configuration.

The amplifier is used for signal conditioning of the input voltage and its low output impedance provides a buffer between the signal source and the switched capacitor inputs of the ADC. The RC filter helps attenuate the sampling charge injection from the switched-capacitor input stage of the ADC and functions as an antialiasing filter to band-limit the wideband noise contributed by the front-end circuit. Careful design of the front-end circuit is critical to meet the linearity and noise performance of a high-precision, 18-bit ADC such as the ADS8883. Input Amplifier Selection Selection criteria for the input amplifiers is highly dependent on the input signal type as well as the performance goals of the data acquisition system. Some key amplifier specifications to consider while selecting an appropriate amplifier to drive the inputs of the ADC are: • Small-signal bandwidth. Select the small-signal bandwidth of the input amplifiers to be as high as possible after meeting the power budget of the system. Higher bandwidth reduces the closed-loop output impedance of the amplifier, thus allowing the amplifier to more easily drive the low cutoff frequency RC filter (refer to the Antialiasing Filter section) at the inputs of the ADC. Higher bandwidth also minimizes the harmonic distortion at higher input frequencies. In order to maintain the overall stability of the input driver circuit, the amplifier bandwidth should be selected as described in Equation 2: • § · 1 ¸¸ Unity Gain Bandwidth t 4 u ¨¨ © 2S u RFLT u CFLT ¹ (2) Noise. Noise contribution of the front-end amplifiers should be as low as possible to prevent any degradation in SNR performance of the system. As a rule of thumb, to ensure that the noise performance of the data acquisition system is not limited by the front-end circuit, the total noise contribution from the front-end circuit should be kept below 20% of the input-referred noise of the ADC. Noise from the input driver circuit is bandlimited by designing a low cutoff frequency RC filter, as explained in Equation 3. 2 § V 1 _ AM P_ PP · S ¨ ¸ NG u 2 u ¨ f en2 _ RM S u u f3dB ¸ 6 . 6 2 ¨ ¸ © ¹ d § SNR dB · ¸ 20 ¹ ¨ 1 VREF u u 10 © 5 2 where: • • • • • V1 / f_AMP_PP is the peak-to-peak flicker noise in µVRMS, en_RMS is the amplifier broadband noise density in nV/√Hz, f–3dB is the 3-dB bandwidth of the RC filter, and NG is the noise gain of the front-end circuit, which is equal to '1' in a buffer configuration. THD AMP d THD ADC 10 dB • 32 (3) Distortion. Both the ADC and the input driver introduce nonlinearity in a data acquisition block. As a rule of thumb, to ensure that the distortion performance of the data acquisition system is not limited by the front-end circuit, the distortion of the input driver should be at least 10 dB lower than the distortion of the ADC, as shown in Equation 4. (4) Settling Time. For dc signals with fast transients that are common in a multiplexed application, the input signal must settle within an 18-bit accuracy at the device inputs during the acquisition time window. This condition is critical to maintain the overall linearity performance of the ADC. Typically, the amplifier data sheets specify the output settling performance only up to 0.1% to 0.001%, which may not be sufficient for the desired 18-bit accuracy. Therefore, the settling behavior of the input driver should always be verified by TINA™-SPICE simulations before selecting the amplifier. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: ADS8883 ADS8883 www.ti.com SBAS567A – MAY 2013 – REVISED DECEMBER 2013 Antialiasing Filter Converting analog-to-digital signals requires sampling an input signal at a constant rate. Any higher frequency content in the input signal beyond half the sampling frequency is digitized and folded back into the low-frequency spectrum. This process is called aliasing. Therefore, an analog, antialiasing filter must be used to remove the harmonic content from the input signal before being sampled by the ADC. An antialiasing filter is designed as a low-pass, RC filter, for which the 3-dB bandwidth is optimized based on specific application requirements. For dc signals with fast transients (including multiplexed input signals), a high-bandwidth filter is designed to allow accurately settling the signal at the inputs of the ADC during the small acquisition time window. For ac signals, the filter bandwidth should be kept low to band-limit the noise fed into the input of the ADC, thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system. Besides filtering the noise from the front-end drive circuitry, the RC filter also helps attenuate the sampling charge injection from the switched-capacitor input stage of the ADC. A differential capacitor, CFLT, is connected across the inputs of the ADC (as shown in Figure 69). This capacitor helps reduce the sampling charge injection and provides a charge bucket to quickly charge the internal sample-and-hold capacitors during the acquisition process. As a rule of thumb, the value of this capacitor should be at least 10 times the specified value of the ADC sampling capacitance. For the ADS8883, the input sampling capacitance is equal to 59 pF, thus the value of CFLT should be greater than 590 pF. The capacitor should be a COG- or NPO-type because these capacitor types have a high-Q, low-temperature coefficient, and stable electrical characteristics under varying voltages, frequency, and time.

Antialiasing Filter Note that driving capacitive loads can degrade the phase margin of the input amplifiers, thus making the amplifier marginally unstable. To avoid amplifier stability issues, series isolation resistors (RFLT) are used at the output of the amplifiers. A higher value of RFLT is helpful from the amplifier stability perspective, but adds distortion as a result of interactions with the nonlinear input impedance of the ADC. Distortion increases with source impedance, input signal frequency, and input signal amplitude. Therefore, the selection of RFLT requires balancing the stability and distortion of the design. For the ADS8883, TI recommends limiting the value of RFLT to a maximum of 22 Ω in order to avoid any significant degradation in linearity performance. The tolerance of the selected resistors can be chosen as 1% because the use of a differential capacitor at the input balances the effects resulting from any resistor mismatch. The input amplifier bandwidth should be much higher than the cutoff frequency of the antialiasing filter. TI strongly recommends performing a SPICE simulation to confirm that the amplifier has more than 40° phase margin with the selected filter. Simulation is critical because even with high-bandwidth amplifiers, some amplifiers might require more bandwidth than others to drive similar filters. If an amplifier has less than a 40° phase margin with 22-Ω resistors, using a different amplifier with higher bandwidth or reducing the filter cutoff frequency with a larger differential capacitor is advisable.

These data acquisition (DAQ) blocks are optimized for specific input types and performance requirements of the system. For simplicity, powersupply decoupling capacitors are not shown in these circuit diagrams; refer to the Power Supply section for suggested guidelines. DAQ Circuit for a 1.5-µs, Full-Scale Step Response The application circuit shown in Figure 70 is optimized for using the ADS8883 at the maximum-specified throughput of 680 kSPS for a full-scale step input voltage. Such step input signals are common in multiplexed applications when switching between different channels. In a worst-case scenario, one channel is at the negative full-scale (NFS) and the other channel is at the positive full-scale (PFS) voltage, in which case the step size is the full-scale range (FSR) of the ADC when the MUX channel is switched. In such applications, the primary design requirement is to ensure that the full-scale step input signal settles to 18bit accuracy at the ADC inputs. This condition is critical to achieve the excellent linearity specifications of the ADC. Therefore, the bandwidth of the antialiasing RC filter should be large enough to allow optimal settling of the input signal during the ADC acquisition time. The filter capacitor helps reduce the sampling charge injection at the ADC inputs, but degrades the phase margin of the driving amplifier, thereby leading to stability issues. Amplifier stability is maintained by the series isolation resistor. Therefore, the component values of the antialiasing filter should be carefully selected to meet the settling requirements of the system as well as to maintain the stability of the input driving amplifiers. For the input driving amplifiers, key specifications include rail-to-rail input and output swing, high bandwidth, high slew rate, and fast settling time. The OPA350 CMOS amplifier meets all these specification requirements for this circuit with a single-supply and low quiescent current.

This circuit achieves excellent dynamic performance for the lowest power consumption. The differential ac input signal is processed through low-noise and low-power amplifiers configured as unity-gain buffers and a low-pass, RC filter before being fed into the ADC. In such applications, the input driver must be low in power and noise as well as able to support rail-to-rail input and output swing with a single supply. A high amplifier bandwidth is also preferred to help attenuate highfrequency distortion. However, oftentimes bandwidth and noise are traded off with the power consumption of the amplifier. This circuit uses the OPA320 as the front-end driving amplifier because this device has a relatively low noise density of 7 nV/√Hz for a maximum-specified quiescent current of 1.45 mA per channel. The noise contribution from the front-end amplifier is band-limited by the 3-dB bandwidth of the RC filter, which is designed to be 1.65 MHz in this application. Again, the component values of the antialiasing filter are carefully selected to maintain the stability of the input driving amplifiers.

In both applications, the input signal is processed through a high-bandwidth, low-distortion, fully-differential amplifier (FDA) designed in an inverting gain configuration and a low-pass RC filter before being fed into the ADC. As a rule of thumb, the distortion from the input driver should be at least 10 dB less than the ADC distortion. The distortion resulting from variation in the common-mode signal is eliminated by using the FDA in an inverting gain configuration that establishes a fixed common-mode level for the circuit. This configuration also eliminates the requirement of a rail-to-rail swing at the amplifier input. Therefore, these circuits use the low-power THS4521 as an input driver, which provides exceptional ac performance because of its extremely low-distortion and highbandwidth specifications. In addition, the components of the antialiasing filter are such that the noise from the front-end circuit is kept low without adding distortion to the input signal. Differential Input Configuration The circuit in Figure 72 shows a fully-differential DAQ block optimized for low distortion and noise using the THS4521 and ADS8883. This front-end circuit configuration requires a differential signal at the input of the FDA and provides a differential output to drive the ADC inputs. The common-mode voltage of the input signal provided to the ADC is set by the VOCM pin of the THS4521 (not shown in Figure 72). To use the complete dynamic range of the ADC, VOCM can be set to VREF / 2 by using a simple resistive divider. However, note that the ADS8883 allows the common-mode input voltage (VCM) to be set to any value in the range of 0 V to VREF.

In order to save power, this circuit is operated on a single 3.3-V supply. The circuit uses extremely low-power, dual amplifiers (such as the OPA2333) with a maximum quiescent current of 28 µA per channel to drive the ADC inputs. The input amplifiers are configured in a modified unity-gain buffer configuration. The filter capacitor at the ADC inputs attenuates the sampling charge-injection noise from the ADC but effects the stability of the input amplifiers by degrading the phase margin. This attenuation requires a series isolation resistor to maintain amplifier stability. The value of the series resistor is directly proportional to the open-loop output impedance of the driving amplifier to maintain stability, which is high (in the order of kΩ) in the case of low-power amplifiers such as the OPA333. Therefore, a high value of 1 kΩ is selected for the series resistor at the ADC inputs. However, this series resistor creates an additional voltage drop in the signal path, thereby leading to linearity and distortion issues. The dual-feedback configuration used in Figure 74 corrects for this additional voltage drop and maintains system performance at ultralow-power consumption. 1k REFERENCE DRIVE CIRCUIT 1 µF REF3325 IN AVDD 4.7 OPA333 10 k + + OUT GND 22 µF 1 µF AVDD 10 k AVDD 10 nF REF AVDD AINP CONVST ADS8883 AINM - 1k GND CONVST + OPA333 + + VIN+ VCM AVDD 4.7 nF VIN+ + + 1k OPA333 ADS8883 running at 10 kSPS - 10 nF 10 k INPUT DRIVER Figure 74.

Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device. (6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.

Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment. TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily performed. TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards. TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of any TI components in safety-critical applications. In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms. No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use. Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
