Product details
Overview
AD7634BSTZ from Analog Devices is an 18-bit, 670 kSPS differential successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with programmable input ranges (±10 V, ±5 V, 0–10 V, 0–5 V), internal 5 V reference (3 ppm/°C drift), and dual parallel/serial (SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible) interfaces. It delivers 102.5 dB dynamic range and −112 dB THD at 2 kHz for high-fidelity data acquisition in CT scanners and spectrum analyzers.
For engineers reviewing the AD7634BSTZ datasheet, AD7634BSTZ pinout, AD7634BSTZ application, or AD7634BSTZ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, interface mode mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in the Rev. B datasheet and Analog Devices' official documentation.
Technical Context
The AD7634BSTZ implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with no pipeline delay, enabling deterministic conversion timing and true 18-bit no-missing-codes performance. Its iCMOS process supports ±15 V analog supply rails (VCC/VEE) alongside 5 V digital supplies (AVDD/DVDD/OVDD), allowing direct interfacing with industrial bipolar signal chains.
Hardware- and software-configurable operation includes three sampling modes (warp/normal/impulse), four input ranges selected via MODE[1:0], TEN, and BIPOLAR pins, and flexible interface width (18-/16-/8-bit parallel or serial). The dedicated serial configuration port enables runtime reconfiguration of range and mode without reset.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD7634BSTZ is housed in a Pb-free 48-lead LQFP package (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed pad (not electrically required but recommended for thermal performance). Pin functions are mode-dependent: MODE[1:0] selects interface width; TEN/BIPOLAR configure input range; WARP/IMPULSE set sampling mode; and CS/RD control data access timing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+, IN− | Differential analog inputs | Accept fully differential signals up to ±10 V; common-mode range depends on selected input range (e.g., 0 V for bipolar modes). |
| CNVST | Conversion start trigger | Falling edge initiates sampling; defines aperture point with 2 ns delay and 5 ps rms jitter for precise timing control. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-high pulse indicates ongoing conversion; falling edge signals valid data ready for readout in parallel or serial modes. |
| CS, RD | Parallel/serial bus enable | Both low to enable output drivers; supports multiplexed bus sharing and handshaking in microprocessor interfaces. |
| MODE[1:0] | Interface width select | Selects 18-bit (00), 16-bit (01), 8-bit (10), or serial (11) mode - determines D[17:0] usage and pin function multiplexing. |
| TEN, BIPOLAR | Input range configuration | Combination selects 0–5 V, 0–10 V, ±5 V, or ±10 V full-scale - sets internal gain and offset calibration coefficients. |
| WARP, IMPULSE | Sampling mode control | WARP = high/low + IMPULSE = low/high selects warp (1.49 μs cycle), normal (1.75 μs), or impulse (2.22 μs) throughput modes. |
| REF, REFGND | Reference voltage terminals | Support internal 5 V reference (PDREF = low) or external 4.75–5.25 V source; REFGND must tie to AGND for accuracy. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable input ranges | Four hardware-selectable ranges (±10 V, ±5 V, 0–10 V, 0–5 V) eliminate external signal conditioning for multi-range systems. |
| No pipeline delay SAR architecture | Deterministic 1.49 μs conversion time in warp mode enables synchronous sampling and real-time control loop closure. |
| Dual parallel/serial interface | 18-/16-/8-bit parallel bus + SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility allows drop-in replacement in legacy 8080-style systems or integration with modern SoCs/FPGAs. |
| iCMOS high-voltage process | Supports ±15 V analog supplies (VCC/VEE) while maintaining 5 V logic compatibility - simplifies isolated front-end design in industrial DAQ. |
| Internal reference with TEMP output | 5 V reference (±3 ppm/°C drift) plus integrated temperature sensor (311 mV @ 25°C, 1 mV/°C) reduces BOM count and enables self-calibration. |
| Three operating modes | Warp (670 kSPS), normal (570 kSPS), impulse (450 kSPS) allow trade-off between speed, power (10 mW @ 1 kSPS), and noise performance. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7631BSTZ | 18-bit, 625 kSPS, ±10 V range only; no 0–5 V/0–10 V unipolar support; lacks internal TEMP output. | Best suited for fixed-range bipolar systems where range flexibility and on-die temperature sensing are unnecessary. | Select AD7631BSTZ when system uses only ±10 V sensors and board space is constrained - same 48-lead LQFP footprint. |
| AD7674ASTZ | 18-bit, 450 kSPS, unipolar-only (0–5 V/0–10 V); no bipolar input capability; higher power (250 mW @ 450 kSPS). | Targeted at unipolar sensor interfaces (e.g., pressure transducers) where bipolar operation is not required. | Choose AD7674ASTZ for cost-sensitive unipolar DAQ designs needing lower throughput but higher channel density per controller. |
Compared with AD7634BSTZ, AD7631BSTZ offers identical bipolar performance but sacrifices input range flexibility and temperature monitoring, while AD7674ASTZ trades bipolar capability and power efficiency for unipolar simplicity - making AD7634BSTZ the optimal choice for mixed-range, thermally aware, and power-constrained high-dynamic applications.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the AD7634BSTZ support, and how are they selected?
The AD7634BSTZ supports four differential input ranges: 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V. Selection is performed using the TEN and BIPOLAR pins - for example, TEN = low and BIPOLAR = low configures the 0 V to 5 V range. These pins directly control internal gain and offset calibration, and the setting persists across conversions without software intervention. All ranges maintain 18-bit resolution and specified INL performance per the AD7634BSTZ datasheet Rev. B.
Does the AD7634BSTZ require an external reference, or can it operate with its internal reference?
The AD7634BSTZ can operate with its internal 5 V reference (enabled by pulling PDREF low), which exhibits ±3 ppm/°C drift and includes a dedicated TEMP output for on-chip temperature monitoring. Alternatively, an external reference between 4.75 V and 5.25 V may be applied to the REF pin with PDREF high. The internal reference eliminates BOM cost and layout complexity in space-constrained designs, while the external option supports tighter drift or custom voltage requirements - both configurations are fully supported in the AD7634BSTZ specification.
How does the AD7634BSTZ handle interface mode selection, and what are the pin mappings for parallel vs. serial operation?
Interface mode is selected via MODE[1:0]: 00 = 18-bit parallel, 01 = 16-bit parallel, 10 = 8-bit parallel, and 11 = serial. In parallel modes, D[17:0] serve as data outputs; in serial mode, those pins become SDOUT, SDCLK, SYNC, SCIN, SCCLK, SCCS, etc., as defined in Table 6 of the AD7634BSTZ datasheet. The OB/2C pin controls output coding (straight binary vs. two's complement), and CS/RD coordinate read timing - ensuring seamless integration across microprocessor, DSP, and FPGA platforms without redesign.
What are the power consumption characteristics of the AD7634BSTZ across its three operating modes?
The AD7634BSTZ offers scalable power: 195–225 mW in warp mode (670 kSPS), 175–205 mW in normal mode (570 kSPS), and as low as 10 mW in impulse mode (450 kSPS) when clocked at 1 kSPS. Power-down mode reduces consumption to 10 μW. These values assume internal reference enabled (PDREF = low) and reflect actual measured dissipation per Table 2. This granular control allows system designers to optimize thermal budget and battery life in portable or fanless medical and industrial equipment using the AD7634BSTZ.
Is the AD7634BSTZ pin-compatible with other devices in the PulSAR® family, such as the AD7631BSTZ?
Yes - the AD7634BSTZ shares the same 48-lead LQFP package and pinout as the AD7631BSTZ, enabling mechanical drop-in replacement. However, functional differences exist: AD7631BSTZ supports only ±10 V and ±5 V ranges (no unipolar options) and lacks the TEMP output and some serial configuration features. While PCB layout remains unchanged, firmware and range configuration logic must be verified for compatibility before substitution in production systems using the AD7634BSTZ.
