Product details
Overview
AD7631BCPZRL from Analog Devices is an 18-bit, 250 kSPS, fully differential successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with programmable input ranges (±10 V, ±5 V, 0–10 V, 0–5 V), integrated 5 V reference (3 ppm/°C drift), and dual parallel/serial (SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible) interface. It delivers 102.5 dB dynamic range and −112 dB THD at 2 kHz for high-fidelity data acquisition in process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7631BCPZRL datasheet, AD7631BCPZRL pinout, AD7631BCPZRL application, or AD7631BCPZRL equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed interface timing behavior, real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts with documented functional and application-level distinctions.
Technical Context
The AD7631BCPZRL implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with no pipeline delay, enabling deterministic latency of 4.0 μs per conversion. Its iCMOS process supports ±15 V analog supplies (VCC/VEE) while maintaining 5 V digital logic compatibility (AVDD/DVDD/OVDD).
Configuration occurs via hardware pins (MODE0/MODE1, TEN/BIPOLAR) or serial software register (SCIN/SCCLK/SCCS), supporting four input ranges and three parallel bus widths (18-/16-/8-bit) plus master/slave serial modes with configurable SDCLK division (DIVSCLK[1:0]) and SYNC polarity (INVSYNC).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonic transfer function across full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). |
| Throughput Rate | 250 kSPS maximum-enables real-time capture of signals up to 45 MHz −3 dB input bandwidth with 500 ns transient response. |
| INL Error | ±2.5 LSB max (±9.5 ppm of FSR)-supports precision measurement in ATE and spectrum analysis where absolute accuracy is critical. |
| Dynamic Range | 102.5 dB-achieved with 101 dB SNR and −112 dB THD at 2 kHz, suitable for low-distortion signal reconstruction. |
| Reference | Integrated 5 V reference with ±3 ppm/°C drift and 10 ms turn-on settling-eliminates need for external reference in space-constrained designs. |
| Power Dissipation | 73 mW at 250 kSPS, 10 mW at 1 kSPS-scales linearly with throughput, enabling adaptive power management in battery-aware systems. |
| Interface Options | Parallel (18/16/8-bit) and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial-supports direct connection to FPGA, DSP, or microcontroller without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
AD7631BCPZRL uses a Pb-free, 48-lead LFCSP package (7 mm × 7 mm) with exposed pad connected to VEE per Analog Devices' recommendation. Pin functions are validated per Rev. B datasheet Figure 4 and Table 6.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+, IN− | Differential analog inputs | Accept fully differential signals across four programmable ranges (±10 V, ±5 V, 0–10 V, 0–5 V); require 180° phase matching and common-mode voltage alignment per range. |
| CNVST | Conversion start trigger | Falling-edge–sensitive; initiates sample-and-hold hold mode and starts SAR conversion with 2 ns aperture delay and 5 ps rms jitter. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output; falls when conversion result is latched-usable as data-ready strobe in synchronous systems. |
| REF | Reference I/O | Supplies 5 V when PDREF/PDBUF = low; accepts external 4.75–5.25 V reference when disabled-requires ≥22 μF decoupling capacitor. |
| MODE0, MODE1 | Interface mode select | Configure 18-bit/16-bit/8-bit parallel or serial interface; determine whether D0–D17 operate as data outputs or configuration/control inputs. |
| TEN, BIPOLAR | Input range select | Hardware-programmable selection of four analog input ranges; logic states directly map to voltage span and polarity per Table 6. |
| SDOUT, SDCLK, SYNC | Serial data interface | Master-mode outputs: SDOUT (MSB-first, edge-triggered by SDCLK), SYNC (frame sync, polarity set by INVSYNC), SDCLK (internally generated, divisible via DIVSCLK[1:0]). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay (pure SAR) | Enables deterministic 4.0 μs conversion time and eliminates latency uncertainty in closed-loop control applications. |
| iCMOS high-voltage process | Supports ±15 V analog supplies (VCC/VEE) while maintaining 5 V digital I/O compatibility-reduces need for isolated supply rails. |
| Programmable input ranges | Four hardware-selectable ranges (±10 V, ±5 V, 0–10 V, 0–5 V) eliminate external gain-switching circuitry and simplify front-end design. |
| Dual interface architecture | Simultaneous parallel and serial (SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE) support allows flexible host integration-no redesign needed when migrating from FPGA to microcontroller. |
| Internal 5 V reference with TEMP pin | On-chip reference (±3 ppm/°C drift) and integrated temperature sensor (1 mV/°C) enable self-calibrating systems without external components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7641BCPZRL | 18-bit, 250 kSPS, but uses 64-lead LQFP; lacks internal reference (requires external 5 V ref); no TEMP pin. | Requires external reference design and PCB layout revision; better suited for systems already using precision external references. | Select when reference flexibility and board area allow larger package and external ref integration. |
| AD7679ASTZ | 18-bit, 570 kSPS, 64-lead LQFP; includes internal reference (same 3 ppm/°C drift) and TEMP pin; supports same input ranges. | Higher throughput enables faster test cycles in ATE; larger package may limit density in compact instruments. | Select when >250 kSPS is required and 64-lead LQFP footprint is acceptable. |
Compared with AD7631BCPZRL, AD7641BCPZRL trades integrated reference and compact LFCSP for pin count and external reference control, while AD7679ASTZ offers higher speed and identical reference/TEMP functionality at the cost of larger footprint and different thermal profile.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the AD7631BCPZRL support, and how are they selected?
The AD7631BCPZRL supports four differential input ranges: ±10 V, ±5 V, 0–10 V, and 0–5 V. Selection is performed via hardware using the TEN and BIPOLAR pins per the truth table in the Rev. B datasheet. For example, TEN = high and BIPOLAR = high configures the ±10 V range. The AD7631BCPZRL does not support software-only range selection-the pins must be hardwired or driven by GPIO.
Does the AD7631BCPZRL include an internal voltage reference, and what is its stability?
Yes, the AD7631BCPZRL integrates a 5 V reference with typical drift of ±3 ppm/°C over −40°C to +85°C, 15 ppm/V line regulation, and 50 ppm long-term drift over 1000 hours. When enabled (PDREF = PDBUF = low), it drives the REF pin and requires a minimum 22 μF decoupling capacitor. This eliminates external reference components in many applications, and the AD7631BCPZRL's TEMP pin further enables temperature-compensated calibration.
What are the digital interface options for the AD7631BCPZRL, and how is mode selection handled?
The AD7631BCPZRL supports both parallel (18-/16-/8-bit) and serial (SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible) interfaces. Mode selection is controlled by the MODE0 and MODE1 pins: low/low = 18-bit parallel, low/high = 16-bit, high/low = 8-bit, high/high = serial. In serial mode, additional pins (EXT/INT, INVSYNC, INVSCLK, RDC) configure master/slave operation, clock polarity, and read timing-fully documented in the AD7631BCPZRL datasheet timing tables.
What is the power consumption of the AD7631BCPZRL at full throughput, and how does it scale?
At 250 kSPS, the AD7631BCPZRL consumes 73 mW when the internal reference is disabled and 94–120 mW when enabled. Power scales linearly with throughput: at 1 kSPS, dissipation drops to 10 mW. Supply currents are specified per rail-AVDD draws 8.5 mA (with reference), DVDD draws 4 mA, and VCC draws 0.8–1.4 mA depending on buffer usage. This scalability makes the AD7631BCPZRL suitable for both continuous and burst-mode acquisition systems.
Is the AD7631BCPZRL pin-compatible with other PulSAR® ADCs like the AD7679 or AD7641?
No, the AD7631BCPZRL is not pin-compatible with AD7679ASTZ (64-lead LQFP) or AD7641BCPZRL (64-lead LQFP). It uses a unique 48-lead LFCSP (7 mm × 7 mm) package with distinct pinout-including dedicated TEMP, REFBUFIN, and dual serial configuration ports (SCIN/SCCLK/SCCS). Migration requires PCB redesign. Functional similarity exists, but mechanical and electrical pin mapping differs across the PulSAR® family, and the AD7631BCPZRL's LFCSP thermal performance and layout rules are specific to its exposed-pad VEE connection.
