Product details
Overview
AD7656YSTZ-1 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 6-channel simultaneous-sampling SAR ADC with true bipolar ±10 V/±5 V input ranges, 250 kSPS throughput, 88 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and on-chip 2.5 V reference - deployed in power line monitoring systems for synchronized voltage/current waveform capture.
For engineers reviewing the AD7656YSTZ-1 datasheet, AD7656YSTZ-1 pinout, AD7656YSTZ-1 application, or AD7656YSTZ-1 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated LQFP-64 pin functions, confirmed iCMOS process advantages, and real-world multiaxis control and instrumentation use cases - all grounded in Rev. D datasheet data.
Technical Context
The AD7656YSTZ-1 implements six independent 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) cores on Analog Devices' iCMOS process, enabling ±16.5 V analog supply operation while maintaining low power (140 mW at 250 kSPS) and high channel-to-channel isolation (−100 dB). Its three CONVST pins (A/B/C) support hardware-triggered simultaneous sampling across three ADC pairs (V1/V2, V3/V4, V5/V6).
It integrates on-chip reference buffers and supports parallel, serial (SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible), and daisy-chain interface modes. The device uses twos-complement output coding, features 3.1 µs conversion time, and achieves 4.5 MHz full-power bandwidth with 35 ps aperture jitter - critical for coherent multi-channel acquisition in industrial power analytics.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Resolution | 16 bits - guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes for precision measurement of AC waveforms and transients. |
| Throughput Rate | 250 kSPS - enables full 6-channel sampling every 4 µs, sufficient for 50/60 Hz power quality analysis with >4k samples/cycle. |
| SNR @ 10 kHz | 88 dB - ensures <0.004% RMS noise floor relative to full scale, supporting 16-bit effective resolution in narrowband applications. |
| Analog Input Range | ±10 V or ±5 V (pin/software-selectable) - accommodates standard industrial sensor outputs and legacy metering signal levels without external scaling. |
| Reference | On-chip 2.5 V ±10 mV (25 ppm/°C TC) - eliminates external reference component count and drift sensitivity in compact designs. |
| Power Dissipation | 140 mW at 250 kSPS - enables thermal management in dense PCB layouts without forced air or heatsinking. |
| Aperture Jitter | 35 ps - limits sampling uncertainty to <0.02° phase error at 10 kHz, preserving harmonic integrity for FFT-based diagnostics. |
Pinout & Package
AD7656YSTZ-1 is housed in a 64-lead LQFP package (10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin assignments follow Analog Devices Rev. D datasheet Figure 3 and Table 7.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| CONVST A/B/C | Conversion Start Triggers | Independent TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs initiating simultaneous sampling on ADC pairs (V1/V2, V3/V4, V5/V6) - enables staggered or fully synchronized acquisition. |
| DB0–DB15 | Parallel Data Bus | 16-bit bidirectional bus (DB0 = LSB, DB15 = MSB) with RD/WR control - supports microprocessor interfacing without glue logic. |
| SER/PAR SEL | Interface Mode Select | Hardware-configurable pin selecting parallel (low) or serial (high) mode - simplifies board-level configuration without firmware dependency. |
| REFCAPA/B/C | Reference Decoupling Terminals | Dedicated pins for 1 µF AGND-decoupled capacitors per ADC pair - reduces reference noise coupling between channels. |
| AGND/DGND | Analog & Digital Grounds | 10 dedicated AGND pins and 2 DGND pins - enforce strict separation of analog return paths to minimize digital switching noise injection into ADC front-end. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7656BSTZ | Same 16-bit resolution and 250 kSPS rate, but requires full decoupling (no reduced-BOM optimization); higher typical power (155 mW vs. 140 mW). | Targeted at legacy designs where pin/software compatibility with original AD7656 is mandatory; lacks AD7656YSTZ-1's optimized decoupling scheme. | Select AD7656YSTZ-1 when minimizing external capacitor count and lowering system power are priorities; choose AD7656BSTZ only for drop-in replacement in existing AD7656 layouts. |
| LTC2326CUH-16 | 16-bit, 250 kSPS, 6-channel simultaneous-sampling ADC, but uses different interface (LVDS/CMOS) and lacks integrated reference; requires external 2.5 V reference. | Designed for high-noise environments (e.g., motor drives) with differential inputs and LVDS output - not pin-compatible and demands revised PCB layout and firmware. | Choose LTC2326CUH-16 only when differential input capability or LVDS noise immunity is required; AD7656YSTZ-1 remains optimal for single-ended, reference-integrated, LQFP-based industrial metering. |
Compared with AD7656BSTZ, AD7656YSTZ-1 reduces decoupling capacitance by ~30% and cuts operational power by 10%, while matching timing and accuracy specs; versus LTC2326CUH-16, it trades differential input flexibility for lower BOM cost, smaller footprint, and simplified reference design - making it superior for cost-sensitive, space-constrained power monitoring applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input voltage range supported by the AD7656YSTZ-1?
The AD7656YSTZ-1 supports two pin- or software-selectable bipolar input ranges: ±4 × VREF (±10 V with internal 2.5 V reference) and ±2 × VREF (±5 V). These ranges are set via the RANGE pin or RNGx bits in the control register. Operation requires corresponding VDD/VSS supplies: ±10 V to ±16.5 V for ±10 V range, or +5 V to +16.5 V and −5 V to −16.5 V for ±5 V range - as specified in Table 1 of the Rev. D datasheet.
Does the AD7656YSTZ-1 include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7656YSTZ-1 integrates a 2.5 V reference with ±10 mV initial accuracy, 25 ppm/°C temperature coefficient (6 ppm/°C typical), and 150 ppm long-term stability over 1000 hours. It also provides dedicated REFCAPA/B/C pins for decoupling each ADC pair's reference buffer with 1 µF capacitors to AGND - ensuring low-noise, stable reference performance across all six channels.
How does the AD7656YSTZ-1 achieve simultaneous sampling across six channels?
The AD7656YSTZ-1 uses three independent CONVST inputs (CONVST A, B, C) to trigger simultaneous sampling on three ADC pairs: CONVST A controls V1/V2, CONVST B controls V3/V4, and CONVST C controls V5/V6. Each CONVST edge initiates track-to-hold transition with <4 ns aperture delay matching between channels in a pair - enabling true simultaneous acquisition without time skew, critical for vector-based power calculations.
What interface options does the AD7656YSTZ-1 support?
The AD7656YSTZ-1 supports high-speed parallel (16-bit bidirectional bus with RD/WR/CS), serial (SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible), and daisy-chain modes. Interface selection is controlled by the SER/PAR SEL pin. In serial mode, multiple AD7656YSTZ-1 devices can share one SCLK/CS bus via daisy-chain configuration - reducing host controller pin count while maintaining full 6-channel-per-device throughput.
What is the power consumption of the AD7656YSTZ-1 during active conversion?
The AD7656YSTZ-1 consumes 140 mW at 250 kSPS with AVCC = DVCC = VDRIVE = +5.25 V, VDD = +16.5 V, and VSS = −16.5 V - comprising 26 mA total supply current. It offers partial and full power-down modes: partial mode draws 40 mW (7 mA), and full standby (STBY pin asserted) draws just 315 µW - enabling dynamic power scaling in battery-backed or thermally constrained applications.
