Product details
Overview
AD4698BCBZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 8-channel, 1 MSPS multiplexed SAR ADC with Easy Drive architecture, on-chip oversampling (OSR = 64), ±1 LSB INL, and 93 dB SINAD at 1 kHz - deployed in photodiode monitoring and battery-powered medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD4698BCBZ-RL7 datasheet, AD4698BCBZ-RL7 pinout, AD4698BCBZ-RL7 application, or AD4698BCBZ-RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed no missing codes, analog input high-Z mode for simplified AFE design, 24-lead LFCSP package, and autonomous autocycle mode for low-power interrupt-driven firmware.
Technical Context
The AD4698BCBZ-RL7 integrates an 8-channel low-crosstalk multiplexer with overvoltage protection clamps (±5 mA per input) and a true 16-bit SAR core. Its Easy Drive architecture enables analog input high-Z and reference input high-Z modes, eliminating need for external ADC drivers or reference buffers in most designs.
Digital functionality includes a customizable channel sequencer, on-chip oversampling/decimation, threshold detection with alert indicators, and autocycle mode with programmable sample periods (8.5–920 µs). It supports dual-/quad-SDO SPI interface and operates with 1.14–1.98 V logic voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with guaranteed no missing codes - ensures full dynamic range utilization without code gaps. |
| Sample Rate | 1 MSPS - enables real-time capture of fast transients in multichannel sensor systems. |
| INL | ±1 LSB max - maintains linearity critical for precision measurement in medical and test equipment. |
| SINAD | 93 dB typical at fIN = 1 kHz - delivers high signal fidelity for low-noise applications like vital signs monitoring. |
| Oversampled DR | 111.2 dB at OSR = 64 - reduces effective noise floor by >17 dB versus base rate, enabling sub-µV resolution. |
| Power Dissipation | 8 mW at 1 MSPS - supports thermally constrained, space-limited PCB layouts in portable instrumentation. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood sensing environments. |
Pinout & Package
AD4698BCBZ-RL7 is housed in a 24-lead, 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices' Rev. B datasheet (pages 13–15).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0–IN7 | Analog Input Channels | Eight single-ended or pseudobipolar inputs with integrated overvoltage clamps (±5 mA) and 69.5 dB CMRR at 250 kHz. |
| COM | Common Input Reference | Shared return for odd-numbered channels; supports unipolar/pseudobipolar configurations with −0.1 V to VREF + 0.1 V operating range. |
| REF | Reference Voltage Input | Accepts 2.4–5.1 V external reference; high-Z mode reduces drive burden to ≤12 µA at 1 MSPS. |
| AVDD | Analog Power Supply | 2.7–5.5 V supply; powers ADC core, mux, and reference buffer (if enabled); supports internal LDO operation. |
| VIO | Digital I/O Supply | 1.14–1.98 V logic interface; enables low-voltage MCU interfacing without level shifters. |
| CSB | Chip Select | Active-low SPI enable; timing-critical for synchronization (tCSBH ≥ 5 ns, tCSBDIS = 15 ns). |
| SCK | SPI Clock | Supports up to 80 MHz in conversion mode; dual-/quad-SDO modes allow lower clock rates for power-sensitive hosts. |
| SDI/SDOx | SPI Data I/O | Configurable as single/dual/quad SDO; supports status bits and daisy-chain capability for multi-ADC systems. |
| CONV | Conversion Start | Edge-triggered command; initiates acquisition with 380 ns conversion time and 715 ns acquisition phase at 1 MSPS. |
| ALERT/BSY | General-Purpose Output | Programmable as threshold alert or busy indicator; tCNVBSY = 20 ns latency enables precise timing control. |
| AGND/IOGND | Ground Returns | Separate analog and digital ground pins minimize noise coupling; require low-inductance connection to common system ground plane. |
| EPAD | Exposed Thermal Pad | Internally connected to AGND; must be soldered to PCB thermal plane for thermal management and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Analog Input High-Z Mode | Reduces input drive requirement to ≤2 nA leakage and eliminates need for external op-amp drivers in most sensor interfaces. |
| On-Chip Oversampling (OSR = 64) | Improves effective resolution to >18 bits and dynamic range to 111.2 dB without host processor overhead. |
| Autocycle Mode | Enables fully autonomous conversions with programmable intervals (8.5–920 µs), reducing MCU wake-up frequency and system power. |
| Threshold Detection Alerts | Generates hardware interrupts on channel-specific over/under-limit conditions, enabling event-driven firmware architecture. |
| Overvoltage Protection Clamps | Isolates fault currents up to 5 mA per input, preventing cross-channel performance degradation during transient events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD4697BCBZ-RL7 | 500 kSPS max sample rate, identical 16-bit SAR core, same LFCSP package and pinout. | Lower throughput suitable for slower sensor arrays or lower-power duty cycles where 1 MSPS is unnecessary. | Select when system bandwidth requirements are ≤500 kSPS to reduce power (4 mW vs. 8 mW) and simplify timing constraints. |
| AD7606C-16 | 8-channel, 16-bit, 1 MSPS, but uses bipolar ±10 V input range and requires external reference; no Easy Drive or autocycle mode. | Designed for industrial PLCs and motor control feedback, not optimized for low-power portable or high-impedance sensor interfaces. | Choose for legacy ±10 V signal chains or when external reference buffering is already present; avoid if analog input high-Z or autonomous operation is required. |
Compared with AD4697BCBZ-RL7, the AD4698BCBZ-RL7 delivers double the sample rate at same power-per-sample efficiency and adds autocycle flexibility; versus AD7606C-16, it reduces system component count via integrated reference buffer support (in WLCSP variants), analog input high-Z, and on-chip oversampling - though AD7606C-16 offers wider input voltage range.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the AD4698BCBZ-RL7?
The AD4698BCBZ-RL7 supports a maximum sample rate of 1 MSPS in standard conversion mode. This is confirmed in the Rev. B datasheet Table 1 under "Sampling Dynamics" and applies to all eight channels in multiplexed operation. The device achieves this with a 380 ns conversion time and 715 ns acquisition phase at 1 MSPS, ensuring first-conversion accuracy without pipeline latency.
Does the AD4698BCBZ-RL7 include an internal reference buffer?
No, the AD4698BCBZ-RL7 does not include an internal reference buffer. Per datasheet footnote 7 (page 7), the REFIN pin and internal reference buffer are exclusive to the WLCSP variant (e.g., AD4698WBCBZ-RL7). The AD4698BCBZ-RL7 is the LFCSP package variant and relies on an external reference applied to the REF pin, though it supports reference input high-Z mode to reduce drive current to ≤12 µA at 1 MSPS.
What package type is used for the AD4698BCBZ-RL7?
The AD4698BCBZ-RL7 uses a 24-lead, 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP) with exposed thermal pad (EPAD). This is explicitly stated in the General Description (page 1) and Outline Dimensions (page 108) of the Rev. B datasheet. The "BCBZ" suffix denotes the LFCSP package, distinguishing it from the 36-ball WLCSP variant ("WBCBZ").
Can the AD4698BCBZ-RL7 operate with a 1.8 V digital I/O supply?
Yes, the AD4698BCBZ-RL7 supports a digital I/O supply (VIO) range of 1.14 V to 1.98 V, making 1.8 V fully compliant. This is specified in Table 1 (page 5) under "POWER REQUIREMENTS". At VIO = 1.8 V, the device guarantees VIH ≥ 1.26 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V, enabling direct interfacing with 1.8 V microcontrollers without level translation.
How does the Easy Drive feature benefit system design with the AD4698BCBZ-RL7?
The Easy Drive feature in the AD4698BCBZ-RL7 reduces analog input and reference drive requirements via analog input high-Z and reference input high-Z modes. This eliminates the need for dedicated high-speed op-amp drivers and reference buffers in most applications, lowering BOM cost, PCB area, and power consumption - particularly valuable in compact, multichannel sensor systems like photodiode arrays or portable medical devices using the AD4698BCBZ-RL7.
