Product details
Overview
AD7418AR from Analog Devices is a 10-bit single-channel analog-to-digital converter with integrated temperature sensor, I²C interface, and on-chip 2.5 V reference-designed for ambient temperature monitoring and single-point voltage sensing in space-constrained industrial and embedded systems. It delivers ±1°C accuracy at 25°C, 30 μs temperature conversion time, and operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
For engineers reviewing the AD7418AR datasheet, AD7418AR pinout, AD7418AR application, or AD7418AR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world use cases, pin-level design meaning, and validated alternative options for thermal-aware signal acquisition.
Technical Context
The AD7418AR integrates a successive approximation ADC, 5-channel multiplexer (with Channel 0 dedicated to the on-die temperature sensor), track-and-hold amplifier, internal clock oscillator, and programmable overtemperature indicator (OTI). Its conversion sequence is triggered either by CONVST pulse or automatically after I²C read/write operations.
Temperature measurement is performed by selecting Channel 0; the resulting 10-bit code corresponds to ambient temperature with 0.25°C/LSB resolution. The OTI output is open-drain, configurable as comparator or interrupt mode, and driven by a fault-queue counter to suppress noise-induced false triggers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - Provides 1024 discrete steps across full-scale range for precise thermal and analog voltage digitization. |
| Temp Accuracy | ±1°C at 25°C, ±2°C over −40°C to +125°C - Enables reliable ambient monitoring without external calibration. |
| Conversion Time | 30 μs for temperature (Channel 0), 15 μs for analog input - Supports high-throughput thermal polling in real-time control loops. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - Compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V system rails without level-shifting. |
| I²C Address | 7-bit address with A0/A1/A2 pins - Allows up to 8 AD7418AR devices on one bus for multi-zone thermal mapping. |
| Power Consumption | 600 μA typical active, 1.5 μA shutdown - Enables battery-powered or low-power always-on thermal supervision. |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V ±25 mV - Eliminates need for external reference unless higher precision is required. |
Pinout & Package
AD7418AR is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (width: 3.9 mm) compliant with JEDEC MS-012, suitable for automated assembly and reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Push-pull output supports standard/fast-mode I²C; requires external pull-up for bus arbitration and multi-device operation. |
| 2 SCL | I²C clock input | Controls timing of serial transfers; rising edge samples data, falling edge drives data-no external clock needed for conversion. |
| 3 OTI | Open-drain overtemperature indicator | Asserts low when temperature exceeds TOTI register value; reset occurs automatically after I²C read-enables hardware interrupt signaling. |
| 4 GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for track-and-hold, comparator, DAC, and digital logic-must be low-impedance and separated from noisy power grounds. |
| 5 AIN | Single-ended analog input channel | Accepts 0 V to VREF (2.5 V) signals; selected via configuration register as Channel 4-supports external voltage sensing alongside temperature. |
| 6 REFIN | Reference input / enable | Tie to GND to activate internal 2.5 V reference; connect external 2.5 V source (with 10 µF bypass) to override-disables internal reference automatically. |
| 7 VDD | Positive supply | 2.7 V–5.5 V operation; decoupling with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin is mandatory for ADC stability and noise immunity. |
| 8 CONVST | Convert start control | Rising edge powers up device (4 µs wake-up); falling edge >4 µs initiates conversion-enables synchronous sampling in deterministic systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip temperature sensor | Measures ambient die temperature from −40°C to +125°C with ±1°C accuracy at 25°C-eliminates external sensor BOM and layout complexity. |
| Programmable OTI output | Configurable as active-low comparator or interrupt with fault queue (1–16 hits) to prevent spurious triggering in electrically noisy environments. |
| Auto power-down | Enters ultra-low-power state (<1.5 µA) automatically after conversion-reduces average current in periodic thermal polling applications. |
| Internal 2.5 V reference | 80 ppm/°C tempco, ±25 mV error-provides stable scaling for both temperature and analog measurements without external components. |
| I²C-compatible interface | Supports standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz) modes; A0/A1/A2 address pins allow daisy-chaining up to eight devices on one bus. |
Applications
| Industrial Process Monitoring | Embedded System Thermal Management |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar temperature-sensing ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADT7410ARMZ | 16-bit resolution, ±0.25°C accuracy, no analog input channel, SPI/I²C dual interface | Higher precision thermal-only monitoring; lacks voltage sensing capability of AD7418AR | Select when absolute temperature accuracy >0.5°C is required and analog input is unnecessary. |
| LM75BIMM/NOPB | 9-bit temperature sensor only, no ADC, no OTI programmability, fixed 7-bit I²C address | Basic thermal alerting only; no voltage measurement, no fault queue, no user-configurable thresholds | Select for cost-sensitive, single-threshold overtemp detection where ADC functionality is not needed. |
Compared with AD7418AR, ADT7410ARMZ offers superior thermal resolution but omits analog input and requires higher system precision budgeting; LM75BIMM/NOPB reduces feature set and flexibility to achieve lower unit cost in simple thermal cutoff roles.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the AD7418AR?
The AD7418AR operates across −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Its on-chip temperature sensor maintains ±1°C accuracy at 25°C and ±2°C accuracy over the full range. This specification applies to the A-version device, which matches the AD7418AR ordering option and ensures reliability in harsh industrial and automotive under-hood environments.
Does the AD7418AR require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7418AR includes an internal 2.5 V reference with ±25 mV accuracy and 80 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. To use it, tie the REFIN pin to GND. An external 2.5 V reference may be applied to REFIN only if higher precision is required-doing so disables the internal reference automatically.
How does the OTI (Overtemperature Indicator) pin function on the AD7418AR?
The OTI pin on the AD7418AR is an open-drain output that asserts low when the measured temperature exceeds the value stored in the TOTI setpoint register. It resets automatically after any I²C read operation. Configuration registers allow selection of comparator vs. interrupt mode and fault queue depth (1–16 consecutive out-of-limit readings) to prevent false triggers.
Can the AD7418AR measure external voltages in addition to temperature?
Yes, the AD7418AR includes one single-ended analog input channel (AIN) usable as Channel 4. It accepts 0 V to VREF (2.5 V) signals and converts them in 15 μs. This allows concurrent monitoring of ambient temperature (via Channel 0) and a system parameter like supply voltage or sensor output-all within one 8-pin SOIC package.
What package type is used for the AD7418AR?
The AD7418AR is supplied in an 8-lead SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012, body width 3.9 mm). This surface-mount package supports standard reflow soldering, automated placement, and is pin-compatible with other members of the AD7416/AD7417/AD7418 family-including the AD7416AR and AD7417AR in same-outline variants.
