Product details
Overview
AD7172-4BCPZ from Analog Devices is a low-noise, low-power, 24-bit sigma-delta ADC with true rail-to-rail analog and reference input buffers, supporting up to 31.25 kSPS output data rate, 4 fully differential or 8 single-ended input channels, and simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection - deployed in high-precision multichannel instrumentation for temperature, pressure, and chromatography systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7172-4BCPZ datasheet, AD7172-4BCPZ pinout, AD7172-4BCPZ application, or AD7172-4BCPZ equivalent, key selection criteria include noise-free resolution (24 bits at 5 SPS), ±2 ppm INL accuracy, integrated crosspoint multiplexer, buffered rail-to-rail inputs, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface with Schmitt-triggered SCLK.
Technical Context
The AD7172-4BCPZ implements a Σ-Δ modulator with programmable sinc5+sinc1 or sinc3 digital filters, enabling selectable settling times from 161 μs per channel (6.21 kSPS scan rate) to full 50/60 Hz rejection at 27.27 SPS. Its crosspoint multiplexer allows per-channel configuration of input type (diff/single), buffer enable, reference source, and gain calibration.
It integrates dual LDOs (1.8 V) for AVDD1/AVDD2 and IOVDD domains, supports split analog supplies (±2.5 V or ±1.65 V), and features GPIOs (GPIO0/GPIO1/GPO2/GPO3) synchronized to conversion timing for external multiplexer control - all operating across −40°C to +105°C.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Resolution | 24-bit no missing codes; delivers 24 noise-free bits at 5 SPS for ultra-low-noise DC measurements. |
| Output Data Rate | 1.25 SPS to 31.25 kSPS; enables flexible trade-off between speed and resolution in multichannel scanning. |
| INL Accuracy | ±2 ppm of FSR; ensures <0.0002% linearity error over full scale, critical for precision sensor front-ends. |
| 50/60 Hz Rejection | 85 dB at 50 ms settling; eliminates mains interference without external notch filtering in industrial environments. |
| Input Buffering | True rail-to-rail analog and reference inputs; accepts signals from AVSS to AVDD1, simplifying sensor interfacing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7173-8BCPZ | 8-channel variant with identical architecture, same 32-lead LFCSP package, but supports up to 8 fully differential inputs (no single-ended mode). | Best suited for fully differential sensor arrays where all channels require differential input topology. | Select AD7173-8BCPZ when all 8 channels require differential inputs and higher channel count justifies minor cost increase. |
| ADS1263IPBSR | Texas Instruments part with 32-bit resolution, integrated PGA (up to 128×), and lower typical current (1.1 mA), but lacks true rail-to-rail reference buffering and uses 32-QFN (non-LFCSP). | Preferred for ultra-low-level sensor signals needing programmable gain amplification before digitization. | Choose ADS1263IPBSR only if PGA functionality is required and board layout accommodates different footprint and thermal pad design. |
Compared with AD7172-4BCPZ, AD7173-8BCPZ offers identical performance in a pin-compatible package but restricts input flexibility, while ADS1263IPBSR adds PGA capability at the expense of reference buffer performance and package compatibility - making AD7172-4BCPZ optimal for buffered, rail-to-rail, multichannel industrial sensing without gain staging.

FAQ
What is the maximum channel scan rate supported by the AD7172-4BCPZ?
The AD7172-4BCPZ achieves a maximum channel scan rate of 6.21 kSPS per channel with 161 μs settling time for fully settled data. This applies when using the crosspoint multiplexer in continuous conversion mode with appropriate filter selection (e.g., sinc3). The actual achievable scan rate depends on the selected output data rate, filter type, and number of enabled channels - all configurable via SPI registers. AD7172-4BCPZ maintains this performance across its full −40°C to +105°C operating range.
Does the AD7172-4BCPZ support both single-ended and differential input configurations?
Yes, the AD7172-4BCPZ supports either 4 fully differential input channels or 8 single-ended input channels, selected via the crosspoint multiplexer and channel configuration registers. Each channel can be independently configured for differential or pseudo-differential operation, and the true rail-to-rail input buffers remain active in both modes. This flexibility allows direct connection of diverse sensors - including RTDs, thermocouples, and bridge circuits - without external level-shifting circuitry. AD7172-4BCPZ maintains ±2 ppm INL and 24 noise-free bits regardless of input configuration.
How does the AD7172-4BCPZ achieve 50 Hz and 60 Hz simultaneous rejection?
The AD7172-4BCPZ implements enhanced digital filters (e.g., sinc5+sinc1) that provide >85 dB rejection of both 50 Hz and 60 Hz interference simultaneously at 20 SPS output data rate, with 50 ms settling. This is achieved through deterministic zero placement in the filter transfer function - not software-based post-processing. The feature operates autonomously in hardware, requiring no host processor intervention. AD7172-4BCPZ delivers this rejection while maintaining full 24-bit resolution and ±2 ppm INL, making it ideal for industrial environments with strong mains coupling.
What power supply configurations are supported by the AD7172-4BCPZ?
The AD7172-4BCPZ supports multiple supply configurations: AVDD1 = 3.0 V to 5.5 V (vs. AVSS), AVDD2 = 2 V to 5.5 V (vs. AVSS), IOVDD = 2 V to 5.5 V (vs. DGND), and AVSS ranging from 0 V to −2.75 V. It also supports split supplies (e.g., AVDD1 = +2.5 V, AVSS = −2.5 V). Internal LDOs generate 1.8 V for analog and digital domains. Total supply current is 1.5 mA typical (buffered, internal clock). AD7172-4BCPZ specifies full performance across all combinations meeting these voltage ranges and remains functional down to 32 μA in standby mode.
Can the AD7172-4BCPZ interface directly with isolated microcontrollers?
Yes, the AD7172-4BCPZ supports isolated interfaces via its Schmitt-triggered SCLK input, which tolerates slow edges and high noise margins - ideal for opto-isolator or capacitive isolator coupling. The 3-/4-wire SPI-compatible interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT/RDY) requires no special level-shifting when IOVDD is set to match the isolator's output domain (e.g., 3.3 V). DOUT/RDY's open-drain capable operation and GPIO synchronization further simplify timing-critical isolated control. AD7172-4BCPZ has been validated in isolated PLC modules with >2.5 kVRMS reinforced isolation barriers.
