Product details
Overview
AD7091R-4BCPZ from Analog Devices is a 4-channel, 12-bit, 1 MSPS successive approximation ADC optimized for ultralow-power battery-operated systems. It integrates an on-chip 2.5 V reference (5 ppm/°C drift), programmable channel sequencer, and SPI-compatible interface. Key confirmed specs: 70 dB SNR at 10 kHz, ±0.7 LSB typical INL, 1.4 mW power at 3 V/1 MSPS, and −40°C to +125°C operation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7091R-4BCPZ datasheet, AD7091R-4BCPZ pinout, AD7091R-4BCPZ application, or AD7091R-4BCPZ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated 20-lead LFCSP pin functions, real-world use cases in medical monitoring and optical sensing, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The AD7091R-4BCPZ implements a true SAR architecture with no pipeline latency, enabling deterministic 1 MSPS throughput and sub-microsecond conversion time (600 ns). Its integrated channel sequencer supports preprogrammed scan order across four single-ended inputs, while MUXOUT/ADCIN pins allow external signal conditioning before acquisition.
Power management is hardware- and register-controlled: normal mode delivers full performance at 1.4–3.4 mW depending on supply, while power-down mode draws only 435 nA at 3 V. The dual-supply design separates analog (VDD) and digital I/O (VDRIVE) domains, supporting 1.8 V to 5.25 V logic levels independent of the 2.7–5.25 V analog rail.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR - delivers 1 LSB = 610 µV at 2.5 V reference, sufficient for precision sensor digitization. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 500 kHz (Nyquist), with zero pipeline delay. |
| SNR / THD | 70 dB / −80 dB at 10 kHz - supports high-fidelity acquisition of audio-band and instrumentation signals. |
| INL | ±0.7 LSB typical - ensures monotonicity and <0.017% full-scale linearity error for calibration-critical applications. |
| Reference | On-chip 2.5 V ±10 mV, 5 ppm/°C drift - eliminates external reference component and reduces BOM count. |
| Power (Normal Mode) | 1.4 mW at 3 V/1 MSPS - extends battery life in portable devices beyond 100 hours at 1 kSPS duty cycling. |
| Power (Power-Down) | 435 nA at 3 V - enables microamp-level sleep states ideal for wake-on-event sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel, low-power SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7091R-2BCPZ | 2-channel variant in same 20-lead LFCSP; identical specs except channel count and absence of ALERT/BUSY/GPO0 pins. | Suitable where only two analog inputs are required; lacks configurable alert/status outputs needed for autonomous monitoring. | Select when BOM cost reduction is prioritized over channel flexibility and system-level event signaling. |
| ADS7953IRHBT | Texas Instruments 12-bit, 1 MSPS, 16-channel SAR ADC in 32-pin QFN; higher channel count but 3.5 mW active power at 3 V and no integrated reference. | Requires external 2.5 V reference and more PCB area; better suited for high-channel-count industrial PLCs than space-constrained portable devices. | Choose when expanding beyond 4 channels is anticipated and board space allows larger package and extra components. |
Compared with AD7091R-4BCPZ, AD7091R-2BCPZ saves cost and layout area but sacrifices channel scalability and system-level alerting capability, while ADS7953IRHBT offers greater channel density at the expense of higher power and increased design complexity due to external reference dependency.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the AD7091R-4BCPZ?
The AD7091R-4BCPZ achieves a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS with no pipeline latency. This is confirmed in the datasheet's Specifications table (Rev. D, Page 3) and enabled by its SAR architecture and 600 ns conversion time. At this rate, the device consumes 1.4 mW from a 3 V supply, making it suitable for high-speed, low-power applications such as portable diagnostics and real-time sensor monitoring.
Does the AD7091R-4BCPZ include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7091R-4BCPZ integrates a precise 2.5 V reference with 5 ppm/°C typical drift and ±10 mV initial accuracy at 25°C. This reference is accessible via the REFIN/REFOUT pin and can be used directly or overdriven with an external source from 1.0 V to VDD. Its inclusion eliminates the need for an external reference IC in most designs, reducing BOM cost and board area.
How many analog input channels does the AD7091R-4BCPZ support?
The AD7091R-4BCPZ supports four single-ended analog input channels (VIN0 to VIN3), as explicitly defined in the General Description and Pin Function Descriptions (Rev. D, Pages 1 and 9). It belongs to the AD7091R-2/AD7091R-4/AD7091R-8 family, where the "-4" suffix denotes the 4-channel configuration. Each channel features matched offset and gain error for consistent multi-sensor measurements.
What package type is used for the AD7091R-4BCPZ?
The AD7091R-4BCPZ uses a 20-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP (Lead Frame Chip Scale Package) with exposed pad, as specified in the Ordering Guide and Pin Configurations sections (Rev. D, Pages 38 and 9). This package provides excellent thermal performance (θJA = 49.05°C/W) and compact footprint, ideal for space-constrained portable electronics and industrial modules.
Can the AD7091R-4BCPZ operate from a 1.8 V digital interface supply?
Yes, the AD7091R-4BCPZ supports VDRIVE from 1.8 V to 5.25 V, allowing direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic controllers. However, the datasheet clarifies that while functional at 1.8 V, the device cannot achieve 1 MSPS throughput below 2.7 V VDRIVE (Table 1, Note 4). For full-speed operation, VDRIVE must be ≥2.7 V, but low-voltage standby and communication remain viable at 1.8 V.
What is the purpose of the ALERT/BUSY/GPO0 pin on the AD7091R-4BCPZ?
The ALERT/BUSY/GPO0 pin is a multifunction terminal configured via the on-chip configuration register. As ALERT, it asserts when a conversion result exceeds user-defined high/low limits; as BUSY, it indicates active conversion; as GPO0, it serves as a software-controllable digital output. This flexibility reduces external logic and simplifies autonomous monitoring in battery-powered systems using the AD7091R-4BCPZ.
