Product details
Overview
AD7490BRUZ from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 16-channel, successive approximation ADC with integrated channel sequencer, operating at up to 1 MSPS throughput on a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply. It delivers 69.5 dB SNR at 50 kHz input frequency, supports flexible 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN input ranges, and features SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface. It is used in multichannel system monitoring and power line monitoring applications requiring high channel density and low power.
For engineers reviewing the AD7490BRUZ datasheet, AD7490BRUZ pinout, AD7490BRUZ application, or AD7490BRUZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade alternatives, and supply-chain support details specific to the BRUZ variant (28-lead TSSOP, −40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AD7490BRUZ implements a track-and-hold amplifier with 8.2 MHz full-power bandwidth and 50 ps aperture jitter, enabling accurate sampling of signals beyond 1 MHz. Its conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS and clocked entirely by SCLK - no pipeline delay, no latency between sample and result.
It uses a 16-cycle SCLK-per-conversion timing model: at 20 MHz SCLK, conversion time is fixed at 800 ns, enabling deterministic 1 MSPS throughput. The sequencer allows preprogrammed cycling across up to 16 single-ended inputs, controlled via ADD3–ADD0 bits in the control register, with channel-to-channel isolation of −82 dB at 400 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes for precise analog signal digitization. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS - supports real-time capture of fast transients in power monitoring and industrial control loops. |
| Input Channels | 16 single-ended - eliminates external multiplexer need in compact multichannel data loggers. |
| SNR @ 50 kHz | 69.5 dB - enables ≥11.3 effective bits for clean measurement of 50/60 Hz harmonics in energy meters. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.25 V - interoperates with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| VDRIVE Pin | Independent logic voltage - allows direct interfacing to 3 V or 5 V host processors regardless of VDD setting. |
| Full Shutdown Current | 0.5 µA - extends battery life in portable instrumentation during idle periods. |
Pinout & Package
AD7490BRUZ is packaged in a 28-lead TSSOP (ROHS-compliant, lead-free, moisture sensitivity level 3). All NC pins must be connected directly to AGND per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS (Pin 20) | Chip Select | Active-low conversion trigger and serial frame sync - falling edge initiates sampling and conversion simultaneously. |
| DIN (Pin 19) | Data Input | Accepts 16-bit control register writes (address + config bits) on SCLK falling edges for sequencer setup. |
| DOUT (Pin 15) | Data Output | Serial stream outputs 4-bit channel address followed by 12-bit conversion result, MSB-first, with programmable coding. |
| SCLK (Pin 16) | Serial Clock | Master clock for both interface and internal conversion - 20 MHz max enables 1 MSPS deterministic timing. |
| VIN0–VIN15 (Pins 13–5, 3–1, 28–25) | Analog Inputs | 16 single-ended channels multiplexed into one SAR core; unused channels must tie to AGND to prevent noise coupling. |
| REFIN (Pin 23) | Reference Input | Accepts 2.5 V ±1% external reference - sets full-scale range for both 0–REFIN and 0–2×REFIN modes. |
| VDRIVE (Pin 17) | Logic Supply | Defines I/O voltage level (3 V or 5 V) independently of VDD - enables mixed-voltage system integration. |
| AGND (Pins 14, 21, 24) | Analog Ground | Common reference for all analog signals and REFIN; must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce in multichannel operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 16-channel sequencer | Reduces host processor overhead by automating round-robin conversions across preselected inputs without software polling. |
| No pipeline delay | Enables true sample-and-hold timing control - critical for synchronized multi-sensor acquisition in motor control feedback loops. |
| VDRIVE pin independence | Eliminates level-shifter components when interfacing to 3 V FPGAs or 5 V DSPs while VDD powers analog circuitry at optimal voltage. |
| Channel-to-channel isolation | −82 dB at 400 kHz prevents crosstalk-induced errors in simultaneous high-frequency measurements across adjacent inputs. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including battery management and engine control unit sensor interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, multichannel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7492BRUZ | 8-channel, 12-bit, 1 MSPS - lacks sequencer; requires external channel selection logic. | Suitable only for ≤8 input systems; increases firmware complexity and board area for 16-channel designs. | Select AD7490BRUZ when >8 channels or autonomous sequencing is required - avoids added mux IC and control overhead. |
| ADS8688IPWR | 8-channel, 16-bit, 1 MSPS - higher resolution but lower channel count and no native sequencer; requires external GPIO control. | Better for precision measurement (e.g., strain gauge bridges), not high-channel-count monitoring where 12-bit suffices. | Choose AD7490BRUZ for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 16-channel systems needing deterministic timing and minimal host intervention. |
Compared with AD7492BRUZ and ADS8688IPWR, the AD7490BRUZ uniquely combines 16 single-ended inputs, hardware sequencer, and 1 MSPS throughput in a single TSSOP package - eliminating external muxes, reducing firmware load, and lowering total system BOM cost for multichannel monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate achievable with AD7490BRUZ?
The AD7490BRUZ achieves a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS when operated with a 20 MHz SCLK and VDD = 4.75 V to 5.25 V. At 3 V supplies, the maximum SCLK is 16 MHz, yielding 870 kSPS. Conversion time is strictly 16 SCLK cycles - so timing is fully predictable and deterministic for real-time control loops.
Does AD7490BRUZ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, AD7490BRUZ requires an external reference applied to the REFIN pin. The datasheet specifies 2.5 V ±1% for guaranteed performance. The device supports two input ranges: 0 V to REFIN (straight binary) or 0 V to 2 × REFIN (twos complement), selectable via the RANGE bit in the control register.
Can AD7490BRUZ interface directly with a 3.3 V microcontroller while powered from 5 V?
Yes - the VDRIVE pin allows independent logic-level configuration. Set VDRIVE = 3.3 V while VDD = 5 V, and AD7490BRUZ's digital interface (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT) operates at 3.3 V logic levels, enabling seamless connection to 3.3 V MCUs without level shifters, even when analog circuitry runs at 5 V for improved SNR.
What is the purpose of the sequencer in AD7490BRUZ?
The sequencer in AD7490BRUZ autonomously cycles through a user-defined subset of its 16 analog inputs (e.g., VIN0–VIN7) without host intervention. It is programmed via the SEQ and SHADOW bits and ADD3–ADD0 address bits in the control register, reducing CPU overhead in continuous multichannel acquisition tasks like power quality monitoring.
Is AD7490BRUZ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - the AD7490BRUZ is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C (B grade), features robust ESD protection (±2000 V HBM), and meets stringent reliability and qualification testing standards required for use in engine control, battery management, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
