ADS131E08 Replacement: GX131E08 Pin-to-Pin 8-Channel 24-Bit ADC
GX131E08 is developed for industrial power monitoring and protection, test and measurement, and simultaneous-sampling data acquisition systems.
Its eight high-impedance input channels can interface with resistor-divider networks or voltage transformers for line-voltage measurement and with current transformers or Rogowski coils for current measurement.
The QFP64 version is designed for pin-to-pin hardware replacement of ADS131E08, allowing the existing QFP64 PCB footprint and pin routing to be retained. An optional BGA64 package is available for new designs requiring a smaller board footprint.
GX131E08 as a Pin-to-Pin ADS131E08 Replacement
GX131E08 integrates eight simultaneous-sampling 24-bit delta-sigma ADC channels with programmable gain amplifiers, an internal voltage reference and an onboard oscillator.
The device supports output data rates from 250 SPS to 64 kSPS and programmable gains of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24. Its additional low-data-rate and gain settings provide greater flexibility for signals with different amplitudes and bandwidth requirements.
For existing ADS131E08-based equipment, the GX131E08 QFP64 package provides a pin-to-pin hardware migration path without redesigning the PCB footprint. GX131E08 is also suitable for new high-channel-count measurement and protection systems.

Pin-to-Pin QFP64 Hardware Compatibility and SPI Interface
The GX131E08 QFP64 version is designed around the ADS131E08 pin configuration. Existing analog-input connections, power connections, reference circuitry, clock and synchronization signals, GPIO connections and SPI signal routing can be retained.
The SPI interface supports communication with MCUs, DSPs and FPGAs. Four GPIO pins, synchronization control and daisy-chain operation simplify the implementation of multi-device systems requiring additional measurement channels.
The 8 mm × 8 mm BGA64 package provides the same eight-channel conversion architecture in a smaller package for space-constrained new designs.
