Product details
Overview
AD7172-4BCPZ-RL from Analog Devices is a low-power, 24-bit sigma-delta ADC with true rail-to-rail analog and reference input buffers, 4 fully differential or 8 single-ended input channels, 31.25 kSPS maximum output data rate, and ±2 ppm INL over full scale. It delivers 24 noise-free bits at 5 SPS and supports simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection for precision industrial sensing in PLC/DCS modules.
For engineers reviewing the AD7172-4BCPZ-RL datasheet, AD7172-4BCPZ-RL pinout, AD7172-4BCPZ-RL application, or AD7172-4BCPZ-RL equivalent, key selection considerations include channel scan settling time (161 μs), buffered input impedance (>1 TΩ), internal/external clock flexibility, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility, and −40°C to +105°C operation with split-supply support (±2.5 V or ±1.65 V).
Technical Context
The AD7172-4BCPZ-RL integrates a crosspoint multiplexer enabling per-channel configuration of input type (diff/single), buffer enable, reference source, and digital filter selection via SPI registers. Its sinc5+sinc1 and sinc3 filter options provide programmable trade-offs between settling time, noise, and 50/60 Hz rejection-e.g., 85 dB rejection at 50 ms settling.
Digital features include per-channel offset/gain calibration registers, GPIO-controlled external multiplexer synchronization, DOUT/RDY interrupt signaling, and checksum/CRC protection on serial communications. The device uses an internal 2 MHz oscillator or accepts 14–16.384 MHz crystal/external clock, with Schmitt-triggered SCLK supporting opto-isolated interfaces.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7175-2BRUZ | 2-channel, 32 kSPS, 24-bit, same architecture but fewer inputs and no crosspoint mux | Limited to dual-input systems; lacks GPIO-controlled external mux sync and per-channel filter selection | Choose when channel count and feature set can be reduced to lower cost and board space |
| ADS127L01IPBSR | Texas Instruments part: 1-channel, 400 kSPS, 24-bit, different filter architecture (asynchronous sigma-delta), no integrated buffers | Requires external op-amps for rail-to-rail input; higher speed but less integrated signal conditioning | Prefer when single-channel throughput >31.25 kSPS is required and external buffering is acceptable |
Compared with AD7172-4BCPZ-RL, AD7175-2BRUZ reduces channel flexibility and system integration, while ADS127L01IPBSR trades integrated buffers and multi-channel synchronization for raw speed-making AD7172-4BCPZ-RL optimal for compact, multi-sensor industrial and scientific systems demanding low drift, high linearity, and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum channel scan rate supported by the AD7172-4BCPZ-RL?
The AD7172-4BCPZ-RL achieves a maximum channel scan data rate of 6.21 kSPS per channel, with 161 μs settling time for fully settled data. This performance is enabled by its integrated crosspoint multiplexer and optimized digital filter architecture, allowing rapid switching between up to eight single-ended or four fully differential inputs without external hardware reconfiguration. The AD7172-4BCPZ-RL maintains this rate across its full operating temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
Does the AD7172-4BCPZ-RL require external op-amps for sensor interfacing?
No, the AD7172-4BCPZ-RL includes true rail-to-rail analog input buffers with input bias current ≤ ±5.5 nA and input impedance >1 TΩ when enabled-eliminating the need for external op-amps when interfacing with high-impedance sensors such as RTDs, thermocouples, or piezoresistive bridges. These buffers accept inputs from AVSS to AVDD1 and support both single-ended and fully differential configurations directly. The AD7172-4BCPZ-RL also provides buffered reference inputs with similar specifications.
How does the AD7172-4BCPZ-RL handle 50 Hz and 60 Hz interference rejection?
The AD7172-4BCPZ-RL implements hardware-accelerated digital filtering that delivers simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection of up to 85 dB at 20 SPS output data rate, with 50 ms settling time. Its enhanced sinc5+sinc1 and sinc3 filter options allow users to select rejection profiles optimized for specific line frequencies and settling requirements. Unlike software-based solutions, this rejection is performed in real time within the ADC's digital filter block, requiring no host processor intervention. The AD7172-4BCPZ-RL maintains this performance across all input configurations and temperature ranges.
Can the AD7172-4BCPZ-RL operate with split analog supplies?
Yes, the AD7172-4BCPZ-RL supports split analog supplies: AVDD1 and AVSS can be configured at ±2.5 V or ±1.65 V, enabling bipolar signal acquisition without level-shifting circuitry. AVDD2 and IOVDD remain independent and operate from 2 V to 5.5 V relative to DGND. This dual-supply capability allows direct digitization of ±2.5 V or ±1.65 V input ranges while maintaining digital interface compatibility with standard 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V logic levels. The AD7172-4BCPZ-RL specifies full performance across these configurations.
What serial interface protocols does the AD7172-4BCPZ-RL support?
The AD7172-4BCPZ-RL supports SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP-compatible serial interfaces using a 3- or 4-wire configuration (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT/RDY). Its SCLK input includes a Schmitt trigger for noise immunity, making it suitable for opto-isolated or electrically noisy industrial environments. The DOUT/RDY pin functions as both a data output and a ready/interrupt signal, simplifying host processor synchronization. All register reads/writes use standard SPI framing, and CRC/checksum protection ensures data integrity. The AD7172-4BCPZ-RL requires no protocol translation or custom drivers.
