Product details
Overview
AD7173-8BCPZ from Analog Devices is a low-power, 24-bit sigma-delta ADC with integrated analog input buffers, precision 2.5 V reference (3.5 ppm/°C), and crosspoint multiplexer. It supports 8 differential or 16 single-ended channels, delivers up to 31.25 kSPS output data rate, and achieves 17.5 noise-free bits at full speed-ideal for high-accuracy industrial process monitoring and multichannel sensor acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the AD7173-8BCPZ datasheet, AD7173-8BCPZ pinout, AD7173-8BCPZ application, or AD7173-8BCPZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its per-channel configurability (sinc3/sinc5+sinc1 filters), built-in diagnostics (CRC, temperature sensor, burnout currents), and dual-supply flexibility (AVDD1 = 3.3 V or 5 V, IOVDD = 2–5.5 V) in harsh industrial environments.
Technical Context
The AD7173-8BCPZ implements a dual-stage digital filter architecture: sinc5 + sinc1 for fast channel scanning (6.21 kSPS/channel, 161 µs settling) and sinc3 for maximum resolution (24 noise-free bits at 1.25 SPS) with enhanced 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection (120 dB). Its crosspoint multiplexer enables system-level diagnostics by routing any analog input to any ADC channel path.
It integrates two independent LDOs (1.8 V for analog core, 1.8 V for digital logic), configurable GPIO/GPO pins with automatic external mux control, and Schmitt-triggered serial interface compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP protocols. The internal 2 MHz oscillator eliminates external clock components while supporting crystal (14–16.384 MHz) or external clock (2–2.048 MHz) alternatives.

Pinout & Package
AD7173-8BCPZ is housed in a 40-lead, 6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP package with exposed thermal pad soldered to AVSS for mechanical stability and heat dissipation. Pin 1 is marked via top-side laser etch; the exposed pad must be connected to AVSS on PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0/REF2−, AIN1/REF2+, AIN2–AIN16 | Analog Input / External Reference Input | Supports 8 differential or 16 single-ended channels via crosspoint mux; REF2± accepts external reference up to AVDD1 |
| REFOUT, REF+, REF− | Internal Reference Output / Reference Inputs | REFOUT provides buffered 2.5 V reference; REF+/REF− accept external reference or connect to internal REFOUT |
| AVDD1, AVDD2, AVSS, IOVDD, DGND | Analog & Digital Power Supplies | Split analog supplies (AVDD1/AVDD2/AVSS) enable ±2.5 V or ±1.65 V operation; IOVDD independent (2–5.5 V) allows mixed-voltage interfacing |

| Per-channel configuration | Eight independent setup registers allow unique ODR, filter type, gain, offset correction, and buffer enable per channel |
| Integrated diagnostics | CRC on serial data, register checksum, on-chip temperature sensor (±2°C after calibration), burnout currents (±10 µA), and crosspoint mux for signal path validation |
| Flexible power management | Standby mode (400 µA with reference on), power-down mode (2 µA), and programmable LDOs reduce system-level power design complexity |
| Enhanced EMI robustness | Schmitt-triggered SCLK and 85–90 dB normal-mode rejection support reliable operation in noisy industrial settings without external filtering |
| Single-cycle settling | Enables rapid channel switching with guaranteed 161 µs settling time at 6.21 kSPS/channel scan rate using sinc5+sinc1 filter |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision multichannel sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7172-2BRUZ | 2-channel variant; identical architecture, same 24-bit resolution and 31.25 kSPS max ODR but half the channel count and smaller 32-lead TSSOP package | Best suited for compact, dual-sensor systems where board space is constrained and channel density is not required | Select AD7172-2BRUZ when only two high-accuracy channels are needed and LFCSP assembly is not feasible |
| ADS131M08IPBSR | Texas Instruments part with 8-channel, 24-bit delta-sigma ADC; no integrated reference or crosspoint mux; requires external 2.5 V reference and external multiplexer control logic | Targets cost-sensitive industrial DAQ where external component count is acceptable and diagnostic features are secondary | Choose ADS131M08IPBSR for lower BOM cost in non-critical applications lacking need for self-test or reference integration |
Compared with AD7173-8BCPZ, AD7172-2BRUZ reduces channel count and package size but retains identical per-channel configurability and noise performance, while ADS131M08IPBSR trades integrated diagnostics and reference for lower unit cost and simpler supply requirements-making AD7173-8BCPZ optimal for space-constrained, high-integrity multichannel systems demanding minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum channel scan rate achievable with AD7173-8BCPZ?
The AD7173-8BCPZ achieves a maximum channel scan rate of 6.21 kSPS per channel when using the sinc5 + sinc1 digital filter configuration. This corresponds to 161 µs settling time per channel and is enabled by single-cycle settling capability. The rate assumes full 24-bit resolution and is validated under standard conditions with internal reference and buffered inputs.
Does AD7173-8BCPZ support both internal and external reference configurations?
Yes, AD7173-8BCPZ supports flexible reference options: it integrates a 2.5 V precision bandgap reference (3.5 ppm/°C) accessible via REFOUT, and also accepts external references up to AVDD1 on REF2+ and REF2− pins. The REFSEL bits in the setup configuration register select between internal and external reference sources per channel.
Can AD7173-8BCPZ operate with split analog supplies?
Yes, AD7173-8BCPZ supports split analog supplies: AVDD1 and AVSS can be configured as ±2.5 V or ±1.65 V, enabling bipolar input ranges without level-shifting circuitry. This mode requires disabling analog input buffers and configuring AVDD2 appropriately per the power supply section of the datasheet.
How does the crosspoint multiplexer in AD7173-8BCPZ enhance system diagnostics?
The crosspoint multiplexer in AD7173-8BCPZ allows any analog input (AIN0–AIN16) to be routed to any ADC channel path, enabling in-system verification of sensor wiring, mux integrity, and signal chain gain/offset without hardware reconfiguration. Combined with burnout currents and CRC-checked register access, it forms a comprehensive self-test framework.
What digital interface protocols is AD7173-8BCPZ compatible with?
AD7173-8BCPZ supports SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP-compatible serial interfaces using standard 3-/4-wire connections (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT/RDY). Its Schmitt-triggered SCLK input ensures robust operation in electrically noisy environments, and the DOUT/RDY pin functions as both data output and conversion-ready interrupt signal.
