Product details
Overview
AD7641BCPZ from Analog Devices is an 18-bit, 2 MSPS charge redistribution SAR analog-to-digital converter with fully differential input, internal 2.048 V reference (±10 ppm/°C drift), no pipeline delay, and dual parallel/serial interface support. It operates from a single 2.5 V supply and delivers 93.5 dB SNR @ 20 kHz for high-fidelity data acquisition in medical instrumentation and spectrum analysis systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7641BCPZ datasheet, AD7641BCPZ pinout, AD7641BCPZ application, or AD7641BCPZ equivalent, key selection criteria include throughput mode flexibility (wideband warp/normal), differential ±VREF input range, internal temperature sensor output, low power-down consumption (2 µW), and Pb-free 48-lead LFCSP packaging compatible with industrial-grade −40°C to +85°C operation.
Technical Context
The AD7641BCPZ implements a fully differential switched-capacitor SAR architecture with hardware-calibrated error correction, enabling true 18-bit resolution with no missing codes and ±2 LSB typical INL. Its conversion control supports asynchronous timing via CNVST-triggered hold-and-convert, with BUSY signaling completion and RD/CS-gated parallel or serial readout.
It integrates dual reference paths: internal 2.048 V bandgap reference buffered to REF (with TEMP sensor and REFBUFIN tap) or external reference up to AVDD+0.1 V. Interface modes are selected by MODE[1:0], supporting 18-/16-/8-bit parallel bus or SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial operation with configurable SYNC polarity, SCLK inversion, and master/slave clock sourcing.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD7641BCPZ is packaged in a Pb-free 48-lead LFCSP (Lead Frame Chip Scale Package) with exposed paddle, optimized for thermal performance (θJA = 26°C/W) and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7622BCPZ | 16-bit, 3 MSPS, no internal reference, requires external REF; lower resolution but higher speed. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, speed-prioritized applications where 16-bit resolution suffices. | Choose AD7622BCPZ when throughput >2 MSPS is mandatory and reference design flexibility is preferred. |
| AD7643BCPZ | 18-bit, 2 MSPS, identical architecture and pinout; differs only in internal reference voltage (2.5 V vs. 2.048 V). | Direct drop-in replacement where 2.5 V reference simplifies system-level scaling or matches existing DACs. | Choose AD7643BCPZ when matching a 2.5 V reference rail avoids gain recalibration in signal chain. |
Compared with AD7641BCPZ, AD7622BCPZ trades resolution for speed and external reference dependency, while AD7643BCPZ maintains identical performance except for reference voltage-making it a functionally identical alternative for 2.5 V reference systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the AD7641BCPZ and under which conditions is it achieved?
The AD7641BCPZ achieves a maximum throughput rate of 2 MSPS in wideband warp and warp modes, with a minimum conversion cycle time of 500 ns. This rate requires proper timing alignment of CNVST pulses and BUSY-read synchronization, and is validated with internal reference enabled and OVDD ≥ 2.3 V. The AD7641BCPZ maintains full specified accuracy-including ±2 LSB INL and 93.5 dB SNR-only when operated within the documented timing windows and thermal limits.
Does the AD7641BCPZ support external voltage references, and what are the voltage limits?
Yes, the AD7641BCPZ supports external voltage references applied to the REF pin when PDREF and PDBUF are set high. The allowable external reference voltage range is 1.8 V to AVDD + 0.1 V (i.e., up to 2.63 V), with a maximum current drain of 180 µA at 2 MSPS. The AD7641BCPZ retains full differential input range (±VREF) and all AC/DC specifications when using an external reference, provided the reference exhibits ≤15 ppm/V line regulation and adequate noise filtering.
How does the MODE[1:0] pin configuration affect the AD7641BCPZ data interface behavior?
The MODE[1:0] pins configure the AD7641BCPZ's digital interface into one of four modes: 18-bit parallel (00), 16-bit parallel (01), 8-bit parallel (10), or serial (11). In each mode, specific pins (e.g., D0/OB/2C, D1/A0, D2/A1) assume alternate functions such as address bits or format controls. The AD7641BCPZ's internal logic maps these selections directly to its shift register and bus drivers-enabling flexible host processor compatibility without external glue logic.
What is the purpose and electrical behavior of the TEMP pin on the AD7641BCPZ?
The TEMP pin on the AD7641BCPZ provides a calibrated analog voltage output proportional to die temperature: 278 mV at 25°C with a sensitivity of 1 mV/°C and output resistance of 4.7 kΩ. It is intended for system-level thermal monitoring-not precision temperature measurement-and requires no external excitation. The AD7641BCPZ uses this same sensor internally for reference drift compensation, ensuring consistent performance across its −40°C to +85°C operating range.
Can the AD7641BCPZ operate with different I/O voltage levels, and how is OVDD used?
Yes, the AD7641BCPZ supports mixed-voltage I/O via the OVDD supply, which powers the digital interface circuitry and can be independently set to 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V-enabling direct connection to diverse host processors. OVDD must remain within 2.3 V to 3.6 V, and its ground (OGND) must be tied to DGND with low-impedance routing. All digital inputs (CNVST, CS, RD, etc.) accept logic levels referenced to OVDD, while DVDD remains fixed at 2.5 V for core logic. This separation allows the AD7641BCPZ to interface reliably across voltage domains without level shifters.
