Product details
Overview
AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL from Analog Devices is an 8-channel, 18-bit simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital data acquisition system (DAS) with 1 MSPS per channel, ±21 V input clamp protection, and per-channel selectable bipolar/unipolar input ranges including ±20 V differential and 0 V to 12.5 V single-ended. It integrates a precision 2.5 V reference, flexible digital filter (OSR up to 256), and operates from a single 5 V analog supply - used in high-accuracy power line monitoring and protective relay systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL datasheet, AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL pinout, AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL application, or AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous sampling capability, ±20 V differential input range support, 93 dB SNR at 1 kHz, −100 dB THD, and hardware-mode pin compatibility with AD7608/AD7609 for legacy design migration.
Technical Context
The AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL implements eight independent SAR ADC channels with per-channel programmable gain amplifiers (PGA), low-pass filters (25 kHz or 220 kHz bandwidth), and analog input open-circuit detection. Its dual-mode interface supports parallel (8-/16-bit bus) and serial (SPI-compatible) operation with CRC error checking on all register reads/writes.
Calibration architecture includes per-channel system phase, offset, and gain correction - enabling <±2 LSB INL after calibration - and diagnostics multiplexer for monitoring internal nodes like temperature sensor, reference voltage, and supply rails without external instrumentation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision, multi-channel data acquisition applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606B-18BSTZ | Same pinout, identical analog front end, but lacks oversampling (max OSR = 1) and open-circuit detection; TUE = 0.1% FSR vs. 0.05% for AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, lower-accuracy power quality analyzers where advanced diagnostics are unnecessary. | Select AD7606B-18BSTZ only if oversampling, per-channel calibration, and fault detection features are not required. |
| AD7609BSTZ | True differential input architecture (no single-ended mode), 18-bit, 1 MSPS, but no internal reference; requires external 2.5 V ref and higher analog supply (±5 V or +5 V/−2.5 V). | Suitable for fully differential sensor interfaces (e.g., LVDT, strain gauge bridges) where common-mode rejection >120 dB is mandatory. | Choose AD7609BSTZ when true differential signaling and maximum CMRR are prioritized over single-ended flexibility and integrated reference. |
Compared with AD7606B-18BSTZ, the AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL adds oversampling, open-circuit detection, and tighter TUE - making it suitable for next-generation protective relays requiring self-test capability. Versus AD7609BSTZ, it trades true differential input for broader input range flexibility and integrated reference, reducing BOM count and layout area.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate per channel for the AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL?
The AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL achieves 1 MSPS (1 million samples per second) on all eight channels simultaneously. This throughput is maintained across all supported input ranges - including ±20 V differential and 0 V to 12.5 V unipolar - with full 18-bit resolution and no missing codes. The device uses a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture that guarantees deterministic conversion timing, critical for time-synchronized applications like power system protection.
Does the AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL integrates a low-drift 2.5 V precision reference with ±3 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient and buffered output. It also supports external reference inputs (2.495 V to 2.505 V), allowing users to substitute higher-accuracy references such as the ADR4525 when ultra-low TUE (<0.02% FSR) is required. The internal reference drives both the ADC core and the reference buffer pins (REFCAPA/REFCAPB), which require external 10 µF decoupling capacitors for optimal performance.
Is the AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL pin compatible with earlier AD7606 family members?
The AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL is pin-to-pin compatible with the AD7608 and AD7609 in hardware mode, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs. However, it is not pin compatible with the original AD7606 or AD7606B due to differences in pin function allocation (e.g., RD/SCLK dual-role implementation and added diagnostic pins). Full feature utilization - including oversampling and open-circuit detection - requires software-mode configuration via SPI, which is not supported on legacy variants.
What input protection does the AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL provide?
The AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL features robust ±21 V analog input clamp protection on all eight channels, combined with 6 kV HBM ESD rating. This allows direct connection to instrument transformer secondaries (CTs/PTs) without external clamping diodes or series resistors. Input impedance remains ≥1.2 MΩ across temperature, and absolute input voltage limits are defined per range - e.g., ±12.5 V single-ended inputs tolerate −1 V to +1.6 V on Vx− relative to AGND - ensuring safe operation under fault conditions.
How does the AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL handle calibration and diagnostics?
The AD7606C-18BSTZ-RL supports per-channel system phase, offset, and gain calibration - reducing INL to <±2 LSB after calibration. It also includes analog input open-circuit detection, CRC error checking on all register accesses, reset detection, busy-stuck monitoring, and a diagnostics multiplexer for reading internal nodes (temperature, reference voltage, supply rails). These features are accessible in software mode via SPI and enable self-test functionality required for IEC 61508 SIL-2 certification.
