Product details
Overview
AD7298BCPZ from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 1 MSPS, 8-channel SAR ADC with integrated band gap temperature sensor, internal 2.5 V reference, and SPI-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 2.8 V to 3.6 V supply, supports 0 V to 2.5 V analog inputs, and delivers ±1°C temperature accuracy across −40°C to +125°C - used in industrial process monitoring and embedded system health management.
For engineers reviewing the AD7298BCPZ datasheet, AD7298BCPZ pinout, AD7298BCPZ application, or AD7298BCPZ equivalent, key selection considerations include channel sequencer programmability, TSENSE_BUSY timing synchronization, 0.25°C temperature resolution, low-power partial/full power-down modes, and LFCSP-20 package thermal performance for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AD7298BCPZ integrates an 8-channel single-ended multiplexer, track-and-hold amplifier (30 MHz full-power bandwidth), and 12-bit successive approximation register core with capacitive DAC architecture. Its on-chip sequencer enables preprogrammed channel cycling without host intervention, and conversion results are output via 4-wire SPI with MSB-first straight-binary coding for voltage channels and two's complement for temperature.
Temperature sensing uses a dedicated band gap sensor digitized by the same ADC core, yielding 0.25°C LSB resolution and ±1°C accuracy over −40°C to +85°C. The device supports dual supply domains: VDD (2.8–3.6 V) for analog/digital core and VDRIVE (1.65–3.6 V) for logic interface level-setting, enabling mixed-voltage system integration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR - delivers 4096 discrete steps with guaranteed no missing codes. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS per analog channel - enables real-time sampling of fast transients in motor control or power monitoring. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to 2.5 V - matches internal reference; eliminates need for external scaling in many sensor interfaces. |
| Temperature Accuracy | ±1°C (−40°C to +85°C) - sufficient for board-level thermal margining without calibration. |
| Power Consumption | 6.3 mA typical at 3 V - scales dynamically with throughput; drops to <10 μA in full power-down mode. |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V ±0.3% - buffered, low-noise (60 μV rms), with 12 ppm/°C tempco; disableable for external reference use. |
| Interface | SPI-compatible 4-wire serial - supports up to 20 MHz SCLK; includes CS framing and TSENSE_BUSY status indicator. |
Pinout & Package
AD7298BCPZ is housed in a 20-lead Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP), 4 mm × 4 mm × 0.85 mm, with exposed metal paddle requiring soldering to PCB ground for thermal dissipation and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN0–VIN7 | Analog Input Channels | Eight single-ended inputs referenced to GND1; accept 0 V to 2.5 V; unused pins must be tied to GND1. |
| GND1 | Analog Reference Ground | Ground reference for internal reference and analog inputs; must be within 0.3 V of GND and decoupled with 10 μF to VREF. |
| VREF | Reference I/O | Outputs 2.5 V internal reference; accepts 2.0–2.5 V external reference when internal ref is disabled. |
| DCAP | LDO Decoupling | Connects to internal LDO output; requires 1 μF decoupling capacitor to GND for stable analog supply. |
| VDD | Analog/Digital Core Supply | 2.8–3.6 V supply; decouple with 10 μF + 100 nF to GND for noise immunity. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low edge-triggered input; initiates conversion and enables DOUT; frames serial data transfer. |
| TSENSE_BUSY | Temperature Conversion Status | Open-drain output asserted high during temperature sensor conversion; used for timing synchronization. |
| DIN/DOUT/SCLK | SPI Interface Signals | Standard 4-wire SPI: DIN loads control register, DOUT outputs 16-bit result (4-bit address + 12-bit data), SCLK clocks transfers. |
| VDRIVE | I/O Voltage Level | Sets logic interface voltage (1.65–3.6 V); may differ from VDD but must not exceed it by >0.3 V. |
| PD/RST | Power-Down & Reset | Pulse low (1–100 ns) to reset; hold low to enter full power-down; analog inputs must be at 0 V before entry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Channel Sequencer | Enables automatic cycling through user-defined channel subsets (e.g., VIN0→VIN3→TSENSE), reducing host CPU overhead in multi-sensor systems. |
| Integrated Temperature Sensor | Band gap sensor digitized by same ADC core, delivering 0.25°C resolution and ±1°C accuracy - eliminates need for external thermal IC in compact designs. |
| Flexible Power Management | Three operational states: normal (6.3 mA), partial power-down (3.3 mA), and full power-down (<10 μA) - selectable via control register and PD/RST pin. |
| High-Speed Track-and-Hold | 30 MHz full-power bandwidth supports accurate sampling of signals beyond audio range, critical for vibration or current-sense applications. |
| Dual-Supply Logic Interface | VDRIVE pin allows independent I/O voltage setting (1.65–3.6 V), enabling direct interfacing with 1.8 V or 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel SAR ADC with integrated temperature sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7091R-8BCPZ | 8-channel, 12-bit, 1 MSPS SAR ADC; no integrated temperature sensor; requires external thermal IC. | Lacks on-chip temperature sensing - increases component count and layout complexity for thermal-aware systems. | Select when temperature monitoring is handled separately and lowest possible power (340 μA typical) is prioritized over integration. |
| ADS8688IPWR | 8-channel, 16-bit, 500 kSPS SAR ADC; no integrated temperature sensor; supports ±10 V bipolar inputs via internal PGA. | Higher resolution and wider input range, but lacks monolithic thermal sensing and has lower throughput. | Select for precision measurement of industrial sensors (e.g., 4–20 mA loops) where temperature is monitored externally and 16-bit resolution is mandatory. |
Compared with AD7091R-8BCPZ and ADS8688IPWR, the AD7298BCPZ uniquely combines 12-bit/1 MSPS performance with monolithic temperature sensing and flexible power management - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally aware embedded systems where integration reduces design risk and time-to-market.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the AD7298BCPZ for analog voltage channels?
The AD7298BCPZ achieves a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS for its eight analog input channels (VIN0–VIN7), with one-cycle latency and 20 MHz SCLK support. This rate assumes operation with the internal 2.5 V reference and VDD = 3 V. The temperature sensor channel operates at a lower 10 kSPS maximum due to longer conversion time (100 μs).
How does the AD7298BCPZ handle temperature measurements?
The AD7298BCPZ incorporates a high-accuracy band gap temperature sensor digitized by its 12-bit SAR ADC core, providing 0.25°C resolution and ±1°C accuracy from −40°C to +85°C. Temperature data is output in two's complement format on the DOUT line, and the TSENSE_BUSY pin signals active conversion - enabling precise timing coordination with analog acquisitions.
Can the AD7298BCPZ operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7298BCPZ supports external reference operation: the internal 2.5 V reference can be disabled, and an external voltage between 2.0 V and 2.5 V applied to the VREF pin. When using an external reference, a correction factor may be required for temperature sensor results, as specified in the "Temperature Sensor Averaging" section of the datasheet.
What are the power-down modes available on the AD7298BCPZ?
The AD7298BCPZ offers three power states: Normal Mode (6.3 mA typical), Partial Power-Down Mode (3.3 mA), and Full Power-Down Mode (<10 μA). Partial mode retains reference and logic functionality; full mode disables all circuitry except the PD/RST detection circuit. Entry is controlled via the PPD bit in the control register or by asserting PD/RST low.
Is the AD7298BCPZ pin-compatible with other members of the AD7298 family?
Yes, the AD7298BCPZ shares identical pinout, package (20-lead LFCSP), and functional interface with all variants in the AD7298 family, including AD7298BRUZ (TSSOP-20) and AD7298-5BCPZ (5 V tolerant version). Differences are limited to voltage ratings and minor specification tolerances - no PCB redesign is needed when migrating between these variants.
