Product details
Overview
AD7386-4BCPZ from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, quad, simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with single-ended analog inputs, 4 MSPS throughput, 84.7 dB SNR (VREF = 3.3 V), ±4 LSB INL, and on-chip 2.5 V reference. It targets high-precision motor control position feedback and current sensing where channel-to-channel isolation (−120 dB) and aperture jitter (20 ps) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AD7386-4BCPZ datasheet, AD7386-4BCPZ pinout, AD7386-4BCPZ application, or AD7386-4BCPZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specs including oversampling-enabled 92 dB dynamic range, 24-lead LFCSP package mapping, real-world timing constraints (tCONVERT = 190 ns), and validated alternatives for multi-channel data acquisition systems operating from −40°C to +125°C.
Technical Context
The AD7386-4BCPZ integrates four independent SAR ADC cores sharing a common serial interface with four dedicated SDO pins (SDOA–SDOD). Each core uses dual capacitive DAC architecture with 15 pF sampling capacitance and 200 Ω input switch resistance, enabling low amplifier drive burden and fast 110 ns acquire time.
Its oversampling block supports normal averaging and rolling average modes, delivering up to 2-bit resolution boost and 92 dB dynamic range at OSR = 8×. The ALERT function operates with 220 ns latency from CS edge and thresholds configurable via Alert Low/High Threshold Registers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - guarantees no missing codes across full temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) |
| Throughput Rate | 4 MSPS per channel - enables real-time capture of fast transients in motor current waveforms |
| SNR | 84.7 dB at VREF = 3.3 V - supports >13.8 ENOB for precision closed-loop control |
| INL Error | ±4 LSB (external VREF) - ensures linearity-critical applications like position encoder interpolation remain within ±0.06% full-scale error |
| Channel Isolation | −120 dB - prevents crosstalk between phase-current channels in 3-phase motor drives |
| Aperture Jitter | 20 ps - limits sampling uncertainty to <0.02° phase error at 100 kHz input |
| Oversampling Gain | 2-bit resolution boost - increases effective resolution to 18-bit at reduced bandwidth without external hardware |
Pinout & Package
AD7386-4BCPZ is housed in a 24-lead lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP), CP-24-251, with exposed pad requiring GND connection for thermal and electrical integrity.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7387-4BCPZ | 14-bit resolution, ±1 LSB INL, 82.4 dB SNR at 3.3 V - lower precision but improved linearity and lower power dissipation (165 mW vs. 191 mW) | Better suited for cost-sensitive motor control where 14-bit resolution suffices and tighter INL is prioritized over dynamic range | Select when system ENOB requirement is ≤13.5 bits and offset/gain match across channels is more critical than SNR |
| AD7388-4BCPZ | 12-bit resolution, ±0.2 LSB INL, 73.7 dB SNR at 3.3 V - highest linearity and lowest latency (190 ns conversion time maintained), but reduced dynamic range | Ideal for high-speed transient capture in protection relays where microsecond-level response dominates over resolution | Choose for fault detection applications requiring fastest possible decision latency and best channel matching, accepting 12-bit quantization |
Compared with AD7387-4BCPZ and AD7388-4BCPZ, the AD7386-4BCPZ delivers the highest resolution and SNR in the family-making it optimal for applications demanding >13.8 ENOB, such as precision servo position feedback and high-fidelity sensor data acquisition-while retaining identical timing, package, and interface compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the AD7386-4BCPZ?
The AD7386-4BCPZ achieves a maximum throughput rate of 4 MSPS per channel in single-channel pair mode. When alternating between channels using the sequencer (SEQ = 1), the effective rate drops to 2 MSPS per channel. This 4 MSPS capability enables real-time capture of fast-switching motor current waveforms without aliasing, and the AD7386-4BCPZ maintains full 16-bit resolution and specified SNR at this rate.
Does the AD7386-4BCPZ include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7386-4BCPZ integrates a 2.5 V band gap reference with 10 ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient and 7 µVrms noise. This reference can be used internally or output on the REFIO pin for external circuitry. When enabled, it eliminates the need for an external reference component, simplifying design and reducing BOM cost-though the AD7386-4BCPZ also supports external references from 2.5 V to 3.3 V for higher accuracy applications.
How does the oversampling feature improve performance in the AD7386-4BCPZ?
The AD7386-4BCPZ's on-chip oversampling block supports normal and rolling average modes, delivering up to 2-bit resolution enhancement and increasing dynamic range from 84.7 dB to 92 dB at OSR = 8×. This reduces effective noise floor and relaxes anti-alias filter requirements, allowing slower SCLK speeds and easing FPGA/DSP interface timing-without adding external hardware or firmware overhead. The AD7386-4BCPZ implements this entirely in analog/digital logic, preserving low-latency operation.
What package type is used for the AD7386-4BCPZ?
The AD7386-4BCPZ is packaged in a 24-lead lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP), designated CP-24-251, measuring 4 mm × 4 mm with an exposed thermal pad. This package provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 48.4°C/W) and excellent high-frequency performance due to short internal bond wires. The AD7386-4BCPZ requires the exposed pad to be soldered to a solid GND plane for optimal thermal dissipation and EMI suppression.
Can the AD7386-4BCPZ operate across the full industrial temperature range?
Yes, the AD7386-4BCPZ is fully specified and guaranteed to operate from −40°C to +125°C junction temperature. All key parameters-including throughput rate, SNR, INL, and channel isolation-are characterized across this range. Its robust design, including 10 ppm/°C reference drift and matched aperture delay (310 ps max), makes the AD7386-4BCPZ suitable for under-hood automotive motor control, industrial drives, and outdoor infrastructure equipment.
