Product details
Overview
AD7490WBCPZ from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 16-channel, successive approximation ADC with integrated sequencer, operating from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply and delivering up to 1 MSPS throughput. It features 69.5 dB SNR at 50 kHz input, −82 dB channel-to-channel isolation, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive sensor monitoring and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7490WBCPZ datasheet, AD7490WBCPZ pinout, AD7490WBCPZ application, or AD7490WBCPZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16 single-ended input support with programmable sequencing, VDRIVE-independent 3 V/5 V serial interface compatibility, full shutdown current of 0.5 µA, and LFCSP-32 automotive-grade packaging.
Technical Context
The AD7490WBCPZ uses a track-and-hold amplifier with 8.2 MHz full-power bandwidth and samples on the falling edge of CS-no pipeline delay. Conversion timing is fully synchronized to SCLK (up to 20 MHz), requiring exactly 16 clock cycles per conversion.
It supports dual analog input ranges (0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN) via the RANGE bit, with configurable output coding (straight binary or twos complement). The sequencer enables preprogrammed channel cycling across all 16 VIN inputs without host intervention.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD7490WBCPZ is packaged in a 32-lead LFCSP (CP-32-3) with exposed pad, rated for −40°C to +125°C operation and AEC-Q100 qualified. All AGND pins (12, 19, 22) and EPAD must be connected to analog ground for optimal noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN0–VIN15 | Analog Input Channels | 16 single-ended inputs routed through internal MUX; unused channels must tie to AGND to prevent noise coupling |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low conversion trigger and SPI frame sync; sampling occurs on falling edge |
| SCLK | Serial Clock | Master clock for both SPI communication and ADC conversion timing (16 cycles per sample) |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | MSB-first stream: 4 address bits + 12 data bits; tri-state controlled by CS |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Writes to 16-bit control register (address, RANGE, CODING, SEQ, SHADOW bits) |
| REFIN | Reference Input | 2.5 V ±1% external reference; sets full-scale range and impacts gain error match (±1.5 LSB) |
| VDRIVE | Logic Supply | Defines SPI I/O voltage level independently of VDD-enables mixed-voltage system interfacing |
| AGND (×3) | Analog Ground | Common reference for all analog signals, REFIN, and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance star connection |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit multichannel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7492WBCPZ | 8-channel version, identical 1 MSPS rate and LFCSP-32 package but lacks sequencer logic | Requires external channel management firmware; unsuitable for autonomous scan use cases | Select only when channel count ≤8 and sequencer functionality is unnecessary |
| ADS8688IPWR | 8-channel, SAR ADC with integrated reference and 1 MSPS rate; uses SPI but no sequencer; TSSOP-38 package | Higher 14-bit resolution but lower SNR (72 dB); not AEC-Q100 qualified; larger footprint | Prefer for precision lab instrumentation where automotive qualification is irrelevant |
Compared with AD7490WBCPZ, AD7492WBCPZ reduces channel count without altering speed or power, making it suitable for simpler systems; ADS8688IPWR trades automotive reliability and sequencer autonomy for higher resolution and integrated reference-requiring layout redesign and qualification revalidation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AD7490WBCPZ?
The AD7490WBCPZ is rated for −40°C to +125°C operation and is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 automotive applications. This extended range is validated across all electrical specifications-including SNR, INL, and throughput-making it suitable for under-hood and industrial control environments where thermal stability is critical. The W suffix explicitly denotes this wide-temperature grade.
Does the AD7490WBCPZ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7490WBCPZ requires an external reference applied to the REFIN pin. The datasheet specifies 2.5 V ±1% for guaranteed performance, though the device supports input ranges scaled to REFIN or 2 × REFIN. No internal reference is present-REFIN directly defines full-scale accuracy, gain error match (±1.5 LSB), and SNR performance.
How does the sequencer function in the AD7490WBCPZ?
The AD7490WBCPZ sequencer is configured via the SEQ and SHADOW bits in its 16-bit control register and enables autonomous, preprogrammed cycling through any subset of the 16 VIN channels. Once initiated, it performs consecutive conversions without host CPU involvement-reducing interrupt load and jitter in real-time data acquisition systems such as motor control feedback loops.
Can the AD7490WBCPZ interface directly with a 3.3 V microcontroller SPI bus?
Yes-the VDRIVE pin allows the AD7490WBCPZ serial interface to operate at 3.3 V logic levels independent of VDD. When VDRIVE = 3.3 V, DIN, DOUT, CS, and SCLK meet 3.3 V CMOS thresholds (VIH = 2.31 V, VIL = 1.0 V), enabling direct connection to common 3.3 V MCUs without level shifters-even if VDD is set to 5 V for analog section optimization.
What is the purpose of the three AGND pins on the AD7490WBCPZ LFCSP package?
The AD7490WBCPZ provides three dedicated AGND pins (pins 12, 19, 22) to minimize ground impedance and separate analog return paths for the reference, analog inputs, and internal core. Proper star connection of all AGND pins-and the exposed pad-to a solid analog ground plane is essential to achieve specified SNR (68.8 dB) and channel-to-channel isolation (−82 dB), especially at 1 MSPS throughput.
