Product details
Overview
AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is a 14-bit, quad-channel, simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with fully differential analog inputs, 4 MSPS throughput, ±1.5 LSB INL (max), and integrated 2.5 V reference (10 ppm/°C). It operates from −40°C to +125°C in motor control current sensing and position feedback systems requiring precise multichannel synchronization.
For engineers reviewing the AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 datasheet, AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 pinout, AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 application, or AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous sampling integrity, oversampling-enabled SNR boost (up to 90.6 dB), 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP package constraints, and dual-reference support (internal 2.5 V or external up to 3.3 V).
Technical Context
The AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 integrates four independent SAR cores sharing a common timing engine to guarantee true simultaneous sampling across all four differential input pairs (AINA±–AIND±). Its on-chip oversampling block supports both normal averaging and rolling average modes, delivering up to 2-bit resolution enhancement at reduced bandwidths.
It employs a buffered internal 2.5 V reference (10 ppm/°C max) and accepts external references from 2.5 V to 3.3 V via REFIO. The serial interface supports 1-wire, 2-wire, and 4-wire output configurations with programmable alert thresholds and CRC error detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - guarantees monotonic transfer function with no missing codes over full temperature range. |
| Throughput Rate | 4 MSPS - enables real-time capture of fast transient signals in motor phase current or encoder feedback loops. |
| INL (max) | ±1.5 LSB - ensures accurate amplitude fidelity for closed-loop control algorithms requiring <0.02% gain linearity error. |
| SNR (typ) | 85.3 dB at VREF = 3.3 V - delivers >14 ENOB for high-fidelity signal reconstruction in data acquisition systems. |
| Oversampling Boost | 2-bit resolution enhancement - reduces effective noise floor by ~6 dB per doubling of OSR, enabling 16-bit-equivalent dynamic range at lower bandwidths. |
| Common-Mode Range | 0.2 V to VREF − 0.2 V - supports direct interfacing with isolated amplifiers or shunt-based current sensors without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive motor control and industrial servo drive environments. |
Pinout & Package
AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 is housed in a 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-lead LFCSP with exposed pad (EPAD) requiring connection to GND. Pin 1 is located at top-left corner (marked dot); EPAD must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 14, 16 | GND | Ground reference for analog, digital, and reference circuitry - requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 2 | VLOGIC | Separate logic supply (1.65 V–3.6 V) - isolates I/O voltage domain from analog power, enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
| 3 | REGCAP | Decoupling node for internal LDO - 1 µF capacitor to GND stabilizes 1.9 V regulator output for digital core. |
| 4 | VCC | Analog power supply (3.0 V–3.6 V) - 1 µF decoupling required; powers SAR core, reference buffer, and analog front-end. |
| 6–13 | AINA±–AIND± | Four fully differential analog input pairs - each pair accepts ±VREF differential swing with wide common-mode range (0.2 V to VREF − 0.2 V). |
| 15 | REFCAP | Bandgap reference decoupling node - 0.1 µF capacitor to GND stabilizes internal 2.5 V reference; omitted if external reference used. |
| 17 | REFIO | External reference input (2.5 V–3.3 V) - disables internal reference when driven; requires 1 µF decoupling to GND. |
| 18 | CS | Active-low chip select - initiates conversion on falling edge and frames serial data transfers; defines acquisition window timing. |
| 19–20, 23–24 | SDOA–SDOD/ALERT | Four dedicated serial data outputs - SDOD doubles as ALERT output (active-low) indicating out-of-range conversion results. |
| 21 | SDI | Serial data input - writes configuration registers (e.g., oversampling mode, alert thresholds, CRC enable). |
| 22 | SCLK | Serial clock input - supports up to 70 MHz operation; timing critical for setup/hold compliance in high-throughput modes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad simultaneous sampling | Guarantees sub-145 ps aperture delay match between channels - essential for vector-controlled motor drives requiring phase-aligned current measurements. |
| On-chip oversampling | Configurable normal or rolling average modes - improves SNR by up to 5.3 dB (OSR = 8×) without external DSP resources. |
| Differential analog inputs | Wide common-mode range (0.2 V to VREF − 0.2 V) and −76 dB CMRR at 500 kHz - rejects noise in high-noise industrial environments. |
| Integrated 2.5 V reference | 10 ppm/°C tempco and 7 µV rms noise - eliminates need for external precision reference in space-constrained applications. |
| Alert indication output | SDOD pin functions as configurable out-of-range flag - enables real-time fault detection without host processor polling overhead. |
Applications
| Motor Control Current Sense | Motor Control Position Feedback |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7380-4 | 16-bit resolution, identical pinout and timing, but no oversampling block and higher power (48 mA vs. 42 mA at 4 MSPS). | Preferred where absolute DC accuracy >16-bit is required and oversampling is handled externally. | Select AD7380-4 only if 16-bit raw resolution is mandatory and system-level oversampling is already implemented. |
| AD7389-4 | 14-bit, same architecture but adds built-in CRC and enhanced diagnostic self-test; slightly higher VLOGIC current (8.5 mA vs. 8 mA). | Better suited for functional safety-critical designs (IEC 61508 SIL-2) requiring runtime integrity checks. | Choose AD7389-4 when diagnostic coverage and fault reporting are required beyond basic ADC functionality. |
Compared with AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7, AD7380-4 trades oversampling capability for higher native resolution, while AD7389-4 extends reliability features at minor power cost - neither offers drop-in replacement without firmware or layout review due to register map and diagnostic differences.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7?
The AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 supports a maximum throughput rate of 4 MSPS in normal mode with no oversampling enabled. This rate is maintained across all four channels simultaneously, with conversion time specified at 190 ns and tCYC (time between conversions) at 250 ns. Oversampling modes reduce effective throughput proportionally to the OSR setting, e.g., OSR = 4× yields ~1 MSPS effective rate with improved SNR.
Does the AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 includes a buffered 2.5 V internal reference with 10 ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient and 7 µV rms noise, eliminating the need for an external reference in most applications. However, it supports external references from 2.5 V to 3.3 V via the REFIO pin when higher accuracy, lower noise, or system-level reference sharing is required.
How does the ALERT function operate on the AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7?
The ALERT function is implemented on the SDOD pin, which operates as either Serial Data Output D or an active-low out-of-range indicator. When enabled via the Alert Indication Register, ALERT asserts within 220 ns of CS falling edge if any channel's conversion result exceeds user-configured high/low thresholds. It clears within 10 ns after CS rising edge, supporting real-time fault detection without host polling.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 use?
The AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 uses a 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-lead LFCSP (CP-24-251) with exposed pad. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 48.4°C/W (JEDEC 2S2P board) and θJC = 0.432°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to a solid GND plane for optimal thermal dissipation and EMI suppression, especially under continuous 4 MSPS operation where total power dissipation reaches 180 mW.
Can the AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 interface directly with a 1.8 V microcontroller?
Yes, the AD7381-4BCPZ-RL7 supports 1.8 V logic interfaces via its separate VLOGIC supply (1.65 V–3.6 V). When VLOGIC = 1.8 V, digital inputs (CS, SCLK, SDI) accept standard 1.8 V logic levels (VIH ≥ 1.44 V, VIL ≤ 0.36 V), and digital outputs (SDOA–SDOD/ALERT) drive to VOH ≥ 1.5 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V, ensuring reliable communication with 1.8 V MCUs without level shifters.
