Product details
Overview
AD7466BRM-REEL from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, micropower successive approximation ADC operating from 1.6 V to 3.6 V supply, delivering 200 kSPS throughput with 69 dB SINAD at 30 kHz input and 0.12 mW typical power at 1.6 V/100 kSPS. It features SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface, internal VDD-referenced conversion, and no pipeline delay-used in ultra-low-power remote sensor nodes requiring high-resolution analog digitization.
For engineers reviewing the AD7466BRM-REEL datasheet, AD7466BRM-REEL pinout, AD7466BRM-REEL application, or AD7466BRM-REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-bit resolution with ±1.5 LSB INL, 6-lead SOT-23 package, 1.6 V minimum supply, 8 nA power-down current, and guaranteed no-missed-codes performance across −40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The AD7466BRM-REEL implements a standard successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with track-and-hold amplifier capable of >3 MHz full-power bandwidth. Conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS, and data is clocked out MSB-first on SDATA synchronized to SCLK falling edges, with four leading zeros followed by 12 data bits.
It uses an internal VDD-derived reference, enabling 0 V to VDD analog input range and eliminating external reference components. Power management is controlled via automatic power-down after conversion, reducing average current to 8 nA typical when idle, with acquisition time as low as 640 ns at VDD ≥ 1.8 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, 2.7–5.25 V supply, 1.25 mW at 3 V-higher voltage floor and power than AD7466BRM-REEL. | Requires LDO regulation for 1.6–1.8 V battery sources; less suitable for direct primary-cell interfaces. | Select ADS7822U only when system already operates at ≥2.7 V and higher SNR (72 dB) is prioritized over micropower. |
| MAX1116EUA+ | 12-bit, 100 kSPS, 2.7–3.6 V supply, 0.5 mW at 3 V-halved throughput and narrower supply range vs. AD7466BRM-REEL. | Limited to lower-bandwidth sensing; incompatible with 1.6–2.6 V battery voltages without boost converter. | Choose MAX1116EUA+ only if cost sensitivity outweighs throughput and voltage flexibility requirements. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1116EUA+, the AD7466BRM-REEL uniquely supports true 1.6 V operation with 200 kSPS throughput and 8 nA shutdown current-making it the sole option for long-life, direct-battery, high-sample-rate applications where supply headroom is constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for AD7466BRM-REEL to operate correctly?
The AD7466BRM-REEL is fully specified to operate at a minimum supply voltage of 1.6 V across the −40°C to +85°C temperature range. At this voltage, it maintains 12-bit resolution, guaranteed no-missed-codes behavior, and 100 kSPS throughput with 70.5 dB typical SNR. Operation below 1.6 V is not characterized and may result in degraded INL, increased missing codes, or failure to complete conversions.
Does AD7466BRM-REEL require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7466BRM-REEL uses an internal reference derived directly from the VDD supply, establishing a 0 V to VDD analog input range. This eliminates the need for external reference ICs, reduces BOM count, and simplifies layout-particularly beneficial in compact, low-cost designs where board area and component count are critical.
How does the power-down mode function in AD7466BRM-REEL?
The AD7466BRM-REEL enters automatic power-down mode immediately after each conversion completes, drawing only 8 nA typical current. It remains in this state until the next CS falling edge initiates a new conversion. No software command or additional pin control is needed-power management is fully hardware-automated, ensuring minimal quiescent consumption without firmware overhead.
What serial interface protocols is AD7466BRM-REEL compatible with?
The AD7466BRM-REEL supports SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and generic DSP serial interfaces. Its SDATA output is three-state and synchronized to the SCLK falling edge, with data formatted as four leading zeros followed by 12 MSB-first bits. It requires no mode pins or configuration registers-interfacing is plug-and-play with standard SPI peripherals on ARM Cortex-M, MSP430, and PIC microcontrollers.
Is AD7466BRM-REEL pin-compatible with other members of the AD7466/67/68 family?
Yes, AD7466BRM-REEL shares identical pinout and package (6-lead SOT-23) with AD7467BRM-REEL and AD7468BRM-REEL. All three variants use the same CS, VDD, GND, VIN, SDATA, and SCLK connections and identical timing protocol-allowing hardware design reuse across 12-, 10-, and 8-bit resolution requirements without PCB revision.
