For engineers reviewing the AD7172-2BRUZ datasheet, AD7172-2BRUZ pinout, AD7172-2BRUZ application, or AD7172-2BRUZ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world channel configuration options (2 differential or 4 single-ended), integrated 2.5 V reference (±2 ppm/°C), SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility, and GPIO-controlled external multiplexer synchronization - all critical for PLC, chromatography, and medical instrumentation design.
Technical Context
The AD7172-2BRUZ implements a dual-stage sinc5 + sinc1 digital filter architecture enabling single-cycle settling (161 µs) at 6.21 kSPS/channel scan rate and simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection at 27.27 SPS. Its crosspoint multiplexer allows per-channel configuration of gain, offset, buffer enable, and filter selection via SPI registers.
It integrates two independent LDOs (1.8 V analog/digital), rail-to-rail input buffers with ±5 nA input current, buffered 2.5 V reference (4.5 µVrms 0.1–10 Hz noise), and GPIO0/GPIO1 referenced to AVDD1/AVSS for synchronous external mux control - all operating across −40°C to +105°C.

FAQ
What is the maximum channel scan rate supported by the AD7172-2BRUZ?
The AD7172-2BRUZ achieves a maximum channel scan rate of 6.21 kSPS per channel with 161 µs settling time for fully settled data. This performance is enabled by its sinc5 + sinc1 digital filter architecture and crosspoint multiplexer, allowing rapid switching between up to five analog inputs (AIN0–AIN4) while maintaining accuracy across temperature and supply variations - critical for high-throughput PLC modules and multichannel data loggers using the AD7172-2BRUZ.
Does the AD7172-2BRUZ require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7172-2BRUZ integrates a precision 2.5 V bandgap reference with ±2 ppm/°C drift (0°C to 105°C) and 4.5 µVrms 0.1–10 Hz noise, delivered via the REFOUT pin. While external references (1 V to AVDD1) are supported via REF+/REF−, the internal reference eliminates BOM cost and layout complexity in most industrial and medical applications - a key differentiator of the AD7172-2BRUZ versus competing converters lacking on-chip reference buffering.
How does the AD7172-2BRUZ handle 50 Hz and 60 Hz interference rejection?
The AD7172-2BRUZ provides hardware-based simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection achieving >120 dB attenuation at 20 SPS output data rate using its enhanced digital filter architecture. Unlike software-based notch filters, this rejection is deterministic, requires no host CPU resources, and remains effective across temperature and supply voltage - making the AD7172-2BRUZ ideal for use in electrically noisy factory floors or laboratory environments where mains-borne interference would otherwise corrupt sensor readings.
Can the AD7172-2BRUZ drive external circuitry from its REFOUT pin?
Yes, the AD7172-2BRUZ REFOUT pin delivers a buffered 2.5 V reference capable of sourcing/sinking ±10 mA, with load regulation of 50 ppm/mA and 215 nV/√Hz noise density at 1 kHz. This allows direct driving of external ADCs, DACs, or sensor excitation circuits without additional op-amp buffering - a capability confirmed in the AD7172-2BRUZ datasheet Table 1 and validated in Analog Devices' CN-0383 reference design, reducing system-level component count and improving overall measurement stability.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the AD7172-2BRUZ?
The AD7172-2BRUZ is supplied in a 24-lead TSSOP package (4.4 mm × 7.8 mm) with exposed thermal pad, exhibiting θJA = 81°C/W on a 2-layer JEDEC board. Its dual LDO architecture (separate analog/digital 1.8 V supplies) and low 1.5 mA operating current minimize self-heating, enabling reliable operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient-temperature environments - a thermal profile explicitly characterized in the AD7172-2BRUZ datasheet Table 4 and Figure 22.
