Product details
Overview
AD7660ASTZ from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 100 kSPS unipolar successive-approximation ADC with single 5 V supply operation, internal conversion clock, and dual serial/parallel interface. It delivers ±3 LSB INL, 87 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and 0–2.5 V analog input range. Used in precision data acquisition for battery-powered instrumentation and medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the AD7660ASTZ datasheet, AD7660ASTZ pinout, AD7660ASTZ application, or AD7660ASTZ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping to 48-lead LQFP, confirmed timing behavior (e.g., 2 ms conversion time, 10 ms minimum inter-conversion interval), and validated alternative options for unipolar 16-bit SAR ADC replacement in industrial and portable systems.
Technical Context
The AD7660ASTZ implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, delivering no pipeline delay and immediate result availability post-conversion. Its internal error correction circuitry ensures monotonic 16-bit output with no missing codes across –40°C to +85°C.
It supports both parallel and 2-wire serial interfaces compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP logic levels (3 V or 5 V), selectable via SER/PAR pin. The OB/2C pin configures straight binary or twos complement output coding, while EXT/INT, INVSCLK, and INVSYNC pins define serial clock sourcing and synchronization behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - guarantees full-scale quantization step of 38.15 mV with 2.5 V reference, enabling sub-40 µV measurement resolution. |
| Throughput Rate | 100 kSPS - completes one full conversion cycle every 10 µs, supporting real-time sampling of signals up to ~45 kHz bandwidth. |
| INL | ±3 LSB max - ensures end-point linearity error ≤0.0046% of full scale, critical for calibrated sensor readout accuracy. |
| S/(N+D) | 87 dB min @ 10 kHz - provides effective noise floor of ≈12.5 µV rms in 10 kHz bandwidth, suitable for high-fidelity signal capture. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to 2.5 V - unipolar range referenced to REFGND, requiring external 2.5 V reference (e.g., AD780) for full accuracy. |
| Power Dissipation | 21 mW typical @ 100 kSPS - enables low-thermal-load deployment in compact enclosures; drops to 21 µW @ 100 SPS for ultra-low-power sleep modes. |
| Aperture Jitter | 5 ps rms - limits sampling uncertainty to <0.03° phase error at 100 kHz input, preserving SNR in high-frequency applications. |
Pinout & Package
AD7660ASTZ is packaged in a 48-lead LQFP (ST-48) with exposed pad grounded per datasheet recommendation. Pin numbering follows standard top-view layout with AGND, AVDD, DGND, OVDD, and DVDD power domains isolated per functional group.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN / INGND | Differential analog input pair | Simultaneously sampled inputs; IN accepts 0–2.5 V signal relative to INGND, rejecting common-mode noise up to 70 dB at 25 kHz. |
| REF / REFGND | External reference voltage interface | Accepts 2.3–2.5 V external reference; REFGND must be tied directly to system analog ground to minimize reference path noise. |
| CNVST | Conversion start trigger | Falling edge initiates conversion after acquisition; jitter-sensitive control input-requires low-noise routing to preserve aperture accuracy. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-HIGH during conversion; falling edge signals valid data ready, usable as hardware handshake for DMA or interrupt-driven reads. |
| SER/PAR | Interface mode select | LOW = parallel 16-bit D[15:0] output; HIGH = serial mode repurposing D4–D11 as SDOUT/SCLK/SYNC/SDIN with configurable clock polarity and framing. |
| OB/2C | Output coding selector | HIGH = straight binary (0x0000 = 0 V); LOW = twos complement (0x8000 = 0 V), enabling seamless integration with signed arithmetic DSP pipelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Conversion results available immediately after BUSY goes LOW-enables deterministic latency-critical control loops without FIFO buffering. |
| Single 5 V supply operation | Eliminates need for dual ±5 V or separate analog/digital rails; simplifies power design while maintaining 16-bit DC and AC performance. |
| Hardware factory calibration | Guarantees specified INL, DNL, gain, and offset without user calibration-reduces BOM cost and firmware overhead in production systems. |
| Low power-down current | 7 mW max in PD mode-extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications such as portable data loggers and handheld test equipment. |
| Pin-to-pin compatibility with AD7664 | Enables drop-in upgrade path to higher-performance differential-input variant without PCB redesign or layout changes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit unipolar SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7664ASTZ | Differential input architecture; same 16-bit/100 kSPS spec but requires ±2.5 V input swing or external level-shifting for unipolar signals. | Preferred for fully differential sensor interfaces (e.g., strain gauges, RTDs) where common-mode rejection >100 dB is required. | Select AD7664ASTZ only when differential signaling is mandated; not a direct replacement for unipolar IN/INGND topology. |
| ADS8860IPWR | 16-bit, 100 kSPS, SPI-only interface; lower power (1.5 mW @ 100 kSPS); no parallel bus or OB/2C coding option. | Suitable for space-constrained, low-pin-count designs where FPGA or MCU lacks wide parallel bus but supports high-speed SPI. | Choose ADS8860IPWR for new designs prioritizing board area and power over legacy parallel interface support. |
Compared with AD7660ASTZ, AD7664ASTZ offers superior CMRR and differential flexibility but demands input reconfiguration, while ADS8860IPWR reduces power and footprint at the cost of interface versatility and output coding options-making AD7660ASTZ optimal for mixed-signal systems requiring hardware-configurable digital interfacing and guaranteed unipolar linearity.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended analog input voltage for AD7660ASTZ?
The AD7660ASTZ specifies an absolute maximum analog input voltage of –0.1 V to +3.0 V relative to INGND, but its guaranteed linear operating range is 0 V to 2.5 V (VREF). Exceeding 2.5 V risks code saturation and violates the unipolar transfer function; sustained overvoltage beyond –0.1 V or +3.0 V may damage the internal ESD diodes. Always limit input with external clamping if sensor excursions are possible.
Does AD7660ASTZ require external calibration for production use?
No, AD7660ASTZ is hardware factory-calibrated for gain, offset, INL, and DNL across temperature. Its datasheet guarantees ±3 LSB INL and ±1.75 LSB DNL without user calibration. External reference stability (e.g., AD780) and proper PCB layout-especially AGND/DGND separation and decoupling-are the primary factors affecting final system accuracy.
Can AD7660ASTZ operate with a 3.3 V digital interface while using a 5 V analog supply?
Yes. AD7660ASTZ supports mixed-supply operation: AVDD and DVDD at 5 V for analog and core logic, while OVDD can be set to 3.3 V to interface directly with 3.3 V microcontrollers or FPGAs. Digital inputs (CS, RD, SER/PAR, etc.) accept 0.8 V/2.0 V logic thresholds referenced to OVDD, and outputs (D[15:0], BUSY) drive to OVDD – 0.6 V high level.
What is the purpose of the INGND pin on AD7660ASTZ?
INGND is a dedicated analog input ground reference that is sampled simultaneously with IN. It enables true differential input measurement (IN – INGND), rejecting common-mode noise-including ground potential differences between remote sensors and the ADC's local ground. Unlike conventional single-ended ADCs, INGND must be routed as a low-impedance, noise-isolated node-not tied directly to AGND at the device.
Is AD7660ASTZ pin-compatible with any other Analog Devices ADCs?
Yes, AD7660ASTZ is explicitly pin-to-pin compatible with AD7664ASTZ per the datasheet. Both share identical 48-lead LQFP pinout, power domain assignments, and interface signaling. This allows direct substitution when upgrading from unipolar to differential input capability-provided the external analog front-end is modified to deliver differential signals within ±2.5 V range.
