ADS7846

Texas Instruments

ADS7846 is a Texas Instruments 4-wire resistive touch screen controller in 16-pin TSSOP — the industry-standard part behind two decades of PDAs, point-of-sale terminals and portable instruments: 2.2 V to 5.25 V operation, internal 2.5 V reference, direct battery measurement from 0 V to 6 V, on-chip temperature and touch-pressure measurement, SPI/QSPI 3-wire interface, auto power-down, under 0.75 mW typical at 2.7 V, 125 kHz throughput, -40 to +85 °C. The pin-compatible upgrade path is the selection point: it drops into ADS7843 sockets with only software changes, adding battery and temperature measurement the older part lacks — which is why it remains the default choice for resistive-touch retrofits and long-life industrial designs. Selection advice: for new designs needing 1.5 V digital I/O, the TSC2046 on this site is the pin-compatible successor; the TSSOP-16 is the standard package, with QFN-16 and VFBGA-48 for space-constrained boards. Parameters verified against Texas Instruments documentation. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

ADS7846 selection guidance

ADS7846 is a Touch screen controller from Texas Instruments, orderable in the TSSOP-16 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

ADS7846 FAQ

What do the suffixes in ADS7846 mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. ADS7846 names the TSSOP-16 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for ADS7846?

The package (TSSOP-16) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for ADS7846?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for ADS7846?

Add ADS7846 to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (Texas Instruments), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
