Product details
Overview
AD4697BCBZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 8-channel, 500 kSPS multiplexed SAR ADC with Easy Drive architecture, on-chip oversampling, threshold detection, and autonomous conversion mode. It features ±1 LSB INL, 93 dB SINAD at 1 kHz, −40°C to +125°C operation, and 24-lead 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm LFCSP packaging - optimized for photodiode monitoring and battery-powered precision data acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the AD4697BCBZ-RL7 datasheet, AD4697BCBZ-RL7 pinout, AD4697BCBZ-RL7 application, or AD4697BCBZ-RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes performance, analog input high-Z mode for simplified AFE design, reference input high-Z mode, 5 mA overvoltage protection per channel, and autocycle mode for low-power interrupt-driven firmware.
Technical Context
The AD4697BCBZ-RL7 integrates an 8-channel low-crosstalk multiplexer with configurable sequencer, true 16-bit SAR core, and on-chip oversampling/decimation (OSR up to 64). Its Easy Drive architecture enables analog input and reference high-Z modes, eliminating need for external drivers and buffers in most designs.
It supports unipolar and pseudobipolar input modes, includes per-channel overvoltage clamp circuits (activation at VREF + 0.55 V), internal temperature sensor (680 mV at 25°C, −1.8 mV/°C), and dual-/quad-SDO SPI interface with 1.14–1.98 V logic compatibility. Autocycle mode provides programmable sample periods from 8.5 μs to 920 μs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD4698BCBZ-RL7 | 1 MSPS sample rate (vs. 500 kSPS); identical pinout, package, and feature set. | Required where higher throughput is needed for real-time control loops or faster sensor polling. | Select AD4698BCBZ-RL7 only when system timing budget demands >500 kSPS per channel; otherwise AD4697BCBZ-RL7 offers same accuracy at lower power. |
| ADS8688IPWR | 8-channel, 16-bit, 500 kSPS SAR ADC with integrated PGA and reference; 38-pin TSSOP package. | Preferred when programmable gain amplification is required before digitization, or when larger PCB footprint is acceptable. | ADS8688IPWR adds PGA flexibility but consumes 2× more power and lacks Easy Drive input high-Z mode - use only if gain scaling is mandatory. |
Compared with AD4698BCBZ-RL7, the AD4697BCBZ-RL7 trades 2× sample rate for 2× lower conversion power (4 mW vs. 8 mW), while matching all accuracy, noise, and feature specifications. Against ADS8688IPWR, it delivers superior input drive simplification and smaller footprint but requires external signal conditioning for gain adjustment.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the AD4697BCBZ-RL7?
The AD4697BCBZ-RL7 supports a maximum sample rate of 500 kSPS in standard conversion mode. This is fixed for the AD4697 variant; the pin-compatible AD4698BCBZ-RL7 offers 1 MSPS. Both share identical resolution, accuracy, and feature set except for throughput - making AD4697BCBZ-RL7 optimal for power- or cost-sensitive applications where 500 kSPS suffices.
Does the AD4697BCBZ-RL7 include an internal reference buffer?
No, the AD4697BCBZ-RL7 does not include an internal reference buffer. That feature is exclusive to the WLCSP variants (e.g., AD4697WBCBZ-RL7). The AD4697BCBZ-RL7 uses the LFCSP package and relies on external reference buffering or high-Z mode operation with a low-output-impedance reference source. Reference input leakage remains ≤165 nA under normal conditions.
How does the Easy Drive architecture of the AD4697BCBZ-RL7 reduce system design complexity?
The Easy Drive architecture in the AD4697BCBZ-RL7 implements analog input high-Z mode and reference input high-Z mode, which reduce required drive strength by >95% compared to conventional SAR ADCs. This allows direct connection of high-impedance sensors (e.g., photodiodes) and eliminates external op-amp buffers and reference buffers in most designs - cutting BOM cost, PCB area, and layout sensitivity while improving channel density.
Can the AD4697BCBZ-RL7 operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the AD4697BCBZ-RL7 supports single-supply operation with AVDD = 3.3 V (within 2.7 V–5.5 V range), VIO = 1.8 V (within 1.14 V–1.98 V), and LDO_IN tied to AGND (disabling internal LDO). It also accepts 2.4 V–5.1 V on REF. All specifications - including ±1 LSB INL and 93 dB SINAD - are guaranteed across this configuration at −40°C to +125°C.
What is the purpose of the autocycle mode in the AD4697BCBZ-RL7?
The autocycle mode in the AD4697BCBZ-RL7 enables fully autonomous, low-power multichannel conversions without host processor intervention. It supports eight programmable sample periods (8.5 µs to 920 µs), automatic channel sequencing, and threshold-triggered alert generation. This mode reduces system-level power by allowing the host MCU to remain in deep sleep until an event-based interrupt occurs - critical for battery-powered sensor nodes and wearables.
