Product details
Overview
AD7631BSTZ 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 and spectrum analysis systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7631BSTZ datasheet, AD7631BSTZ pinout, AD7631BSTZ application, or AD7631BSTZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its iCMOS® high-voltage architecture (±15 V supplies), no-pipeline-delay SAR conversion, hardware/software-configurable input range and interface mode, and 48-lead LQFP package with dedicated TEMP output for on-chip temperature monitoring.
Technical Context
The AD7631BSTZ implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with internal conversion clock, error correction circuitry, and configurable analog front-end. Its four selectable differential input ranges are set via BIPOLAR/TEN pins or serial configuration port, and it supports simultaneous hardware- and software-based mode selection through MODE[1:0], HW/SW, and EXT/INT pins.
It integrates dual power domains (AVDD/DVDD for logic, VCC/VEE for analog front-end), independent digital I/O supply (OVDD), and flexible reference handling-enabling internal 5 V reference (PDREF/PDBUF low), external reference (PDREF/PDBUF high), or buffered external reference (PDBUF low). Conversion is initiated by CNVST falling edge, with BUSY signaling completion and RD/CS enabling data readout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across all input ranges. |
| Throughput Rate | 250 kSPS maximum-supports real-time capture of signals up to ~125 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| INL Error | ±2.5 LSB max (±9.5 ppm FSR)-enables precise DC measurement and calibration-critical applications. |
| Dynamic Range | 102.5 dB (all ranges, 2 kHz)-provides >16.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) for high-SNR signal chain design. |
| THD | −112 dB @ 2 kHz-minimizes harmonic distortion in spectral analysis and audio-grade acquisition. |
| Reference Drift | ±3 ppm/°C (internal 5 V ref)-reduces system-level temperature-induced gain error without external trimming. |
| Power Dissipation | 73 mW @ 250 kSPS (internal ref disabled)-enables low-power high-resolution operation in thermally constrained systems. |
| Supply Voltages | VCC = +15 V, VEE = −15 V, AVDD/DVDD = 5 V, OVDD = 2.7–5.5 V-supports industrial bipolar signal conditioning and mixed-voltage interfacing. |
Pinout & Package
AD7631BSTZ is housed in a Pb-free, 48-lead LQFP (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is marked by dot; AGND/DGND/OGND must be tied at single-point analog/digital ground plane per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+, IN− | Differential analog inputs | Accept fully differential signals up to ±10 V p-p; require matched 180° phase drive and common-mode voltage within specified range (e.g., 0 V for bipolar modes). |
| CNVST | Conversion start trigger | Falling-edge sensitive; initiates sample-to-hold transition and SAR conversion sequence-no minimum pulse width required beyond 10 ns. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output; falling edge marks valid data latch-used as hardware-ready strobe for synchronous readout. |
| RD, CS | Parallel/serial data enable | Both low to enable D[17:0]/SDOUT output; CS also gates external SDCLK in slave serial mode. |
| MODE[1:0] | Interface configuration select | Defines bus width: 00 = 18-bit, 01 = 16-bit, 10 = 8-bit, 11 = serial-determines pin function mapping for D0–D17. |
| TEMP | On-chip temperature sensor output | Analog voltage (311 mV @ 25°C, 1 mV/°C slope)-enables system-level thermal monitoring without external sensor. |
| REF, REFGND | Reference input/output | 5 V reference source/sink; requires ≥22 μF decoupling capacitor regardless of internal/external reference use. |
| VCC, VEE | High-voltage analog supplies | Support ±15 V operation for true bipolar input stages-critical for ±10 V range and wide common-mode rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable input ranges | Four hardware-selectable differential ranges (0–5 V, 0–10 V, ±5 V, ±10 V) eliminate external gain-switching circuitry and reduce BOM count. |
| iCMOS® process technology | Enables integration of ±15 V analog front-end with 5 V logic-reducing need for level-shifting and isolation in high-voltage industrial interfaces. |
| No pipeline delay | SAR architecture ensures deterministic 4.0 μs conversion time-critical for closed-loop control and time-triggered acquisition systems. |
| Dual interface flexibility | Simultaneous parallel (18/16/8-bit) and serial (SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE) ports allow migration between speed-optimized and pin-count-constrained designs. |
| Integrated temperature sensor | Monolithic TEMP pin provides calibrated 1 mV/°C output-enables real-time thermal compensation of gain/offset errors in precision systems. |
| Configurable reference path | Internal 5 V ref (3 ppm/°C), external ref support (4.75–5.25 V), and buffer enable/disable (PDREF/PDBUF) simplify reference subsystem design and improve PSRR. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7679ASTZ | 18-bit, 570 kSPS, 48-lead LQFP; higher throughput but no internal reference or TEMP output. | Used where speed >250 kSPS is mandatory and external reference/temperature sensing are handled separately. | Select AD7679ASTZ when system requires >250 kSPS with identical resolution and package footprint-accepting added external reference and thermal sensor components. |
| AD7641BSTZ | 18-bit, 250 kSPS, 48-lead LQFP; includes internal reference but lacks TEMP pin and has lower THD (−105 dB vs. −112 dB). | Targeted at cost-sensitive instrumentation where temperature monitoring is not required and moderate distortion is acceptable. | Choose AD7641BSTZ for simplified BOM in portable test gear where 105 dB THD suffices and on-chip temperature sensing is unnecessary. |
Compared with AD7679ASTZ and AD7641BSTZ, the AD7631BSTZ uniquely combines 250 kSPS throughput, integrated 5 V reference with low drift, on-die temperature sensor, and −112 dB THD-making it optimal for space-constrained, self-calibrating industrial DAQ systems requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the AD7631BSTZ support, and how are they selected?
The AD7631BSTZ supports four differential input ranges: 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V. Selection is achieved via hardware using the BIPOLAR and TEN pins (per Table in datasheet Pin 30/36), or through software configuration via the serial configuration port when HW/SW = low. The AD7631BSTZ automatically scales internal reference usage accordingly-e.g., ±10 V mode uses 4× VREF-ensuring full-scale utilization without external scaling resistors.
Does the AD7631BSTZ require an external reference, or does it include one?
The AD7631BSTZ includes a precision internal 5 V reference with ±3 ppm/°C temperature drift and 10 ms turn-on settling time. It can operate with this reference enabled (PDREF = PDBUF = low), with external reference applied to REF pin (PDREF = PDBUF = high), or with external reference buffered (PDBUF = low). The AD7631BSTZ does not require an external reference for basic operation, reducing system component count and board area.
What is the purpose of the TEMP pin on the AD7631BSTZ, and how is it used?
The TEMP pin on the AD7631BSTZ provides a calibrated analog voltage output proportional to die temperature: 311 mV at 25°C with 1 mV/°C sensitivity. It is intended for system-level thermal monitoring and compensation-e.g., correcting gain/offset drift in precision measurement chains. No external components are needed; the output drives standard ADC inputs or op-amp buffers directly. This feature is unique to the AD7631BSTZ within its 18-bit PulSAR® generation.
Can the AD7631BSTZ interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers, and what interface modes are supported?
Yes, the AD7631BSTZ supports 3.3 V logic levels via its OVDD supply pin (2.7 V to 5.5 V range) and SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible serial interface. It also offers parallel modes (18-/16-/8-bit) with configurable data format (straight binary or two's complement via OB/2C pin). The AD7631BSTZ maintains full functionality-including all input ranges and timing specs-at OVDD = 3.3 V, enabling direct interfacing with modern low-voltage MCUs and FPGAs.
What are the power supply requirements for the AD7631BSTZ, and how does power consumption scale with throughput?
The AD7631BSTZ requires five supplies: AVDD/DVDD = 4.75–5.25 V (analog/digital core), OVDD = 2.7–5.5 V (I/O interface), and VCC/VEE = +7–15 V / −15–0 V (high-voltage analog front-end). Power dissipation scales linearly with throughput: 73 mW at 250 kSPS (internal ref disabled), 10 mW at 1 kSPS, and only 10 μW in power-down mode (PD = high). This scalability allows dynamic power management in battery-operated or thermally constrained DAQ systems using the AD7631BSTZ.
