Product details
Overview
AD7666ASTZRL from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 500 kSPS unipolar successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated 2.5 V reference, ±2.0 LSB INL, and parallel/serial (SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible) interface. It operates from a single 5 V supply, delivers 88 dB SNR at 20 kHz, and targets precision data acquisition in medical instruments and spectrum analysis systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7666ASTZRL datasheet, AD7666ASTZRL pinout, AD7666ASTZRL application, or AD7666ASTZRL equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world interface timing constraints, confirmed package mapping to 48-lead LQFP, and validated alternative options for high-resolution, low-drift ADC selection in battery-powered and industrial instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The AD7666ASTZRL implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with factory-calibrated error correction circuitry, eliminating pipeline delay and ensuring immediate data availability post-conversion. Its internal 2.5 V reference exhibits ±3 ppm/°C typical drift and supports external reference input via REFBUFIN.
It features dual digital interface modes: 16-bit parallel bus with BYTEWAP/OB/2C control, and flexible serial operation supporting master/slave configurations, programmable clock division (DIVSCLK), and active-low/high SYNC polarity selection. All digital I/Os are compatible with both 3 V and 5 V logic levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full-scale code coverage for precision measurement. |
| Throughput Rate | 500 kSPS maximum - enables real-time capture of signals up to 12 MHz bandwidth (–3 dB point). |
| INL | ±2.0 LSB max - ensures <0.0038% full-scale linearity error for accurate DC and low-frequency signal digitization. |
| S/(N+D) | 88 dB min @ 20 kHz - delivers >14.3 ENOB for high-fidelity AC signal acquisition in spectral applications. |
| Reference Drift | ±3 ppm/°C typical - maintains <±0.5 LSB zero-error drift over –40°C to +85°C operating range. |
| Power Dissipation | 66 mW typ @ 500 kSPS without REF - supports thermally constrained battery-powered and portable instrumentation. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to 2.5 V unipolar - simplifies front-end design by eliminating level-shifting for grounded-sensor interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
AD7666ASTZRL is housed in a 48-lead LQFP (ST-48) package with exposed pad, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 1 identifier located at top-left corner per JEDEC MO-220 standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Analog Input | Main unipolar input node (0 V to 2.5 V range); requires dedicated AGND return path (INGND) for optimal noise rejection. |
| REF / REFGND | Reference Output / Ground | Provides buffered 2.5 V reference output; REFGND must be tied directly to AGND to minimize reference noise coupling. |
| CNVST | Conversion Start | Falling-edge-triggered sampling control; jitter as low as 5 ps rms enables precise timing-critical acquisition. |
| BUSY | Status Output | Active-HIGH open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; falling edge serves as reliable data-ready strobe. |
| SER/PAR | Interface Mode Select | LOW = parallel mode (D[15:0], RD, CS); HIGH = serial mode (SDOUT/SCLK/SYNC), repurposing D[0:15] pins. |
| PDREF / PDBUF | Reference Power Control | PDREF LOW enables internal reference; PDBUF LOW activates internal buffer - both required for buffered 2.5 V reference use. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Conversion result available immediately after BUSY goes LOW - eliminates latency-induced phase errors in closed-loop control. |
| Internal 2.5 V reference | Guaranteed ±15 ppm/°C max drift - removes need for external precision reference in cost-sensitive portable designs. |
| Parallel + serial interface | Single device supports 16-bit parallel bus or SPI/QSPI-compatible 2-wire serial - reduces BOM count across multiple host platforms. |
| Temperature sensor output | TEMP pin provides 300 mV @ 25°C with 1 mV/°C sensitivity - enables on-chip thermal monitoring without external sensors. |
| Low power at low throughput | 132 µW @ 1 kSPS - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications such as environmental data loggers. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7665ASTZ | True bipolar input (±VREF), same 16-bit/500 kSPS spec, but lacks internal reference - requires external 2.5 V ref. | Required for differential or bipolar sensor interfaces (e.g., strain gauges with offset); not drop-in for unipolar-only designs. | Select AD7665ASTZ only when bipolar input range and external reference control are mandatory; AD7666ASTZRL saves BOM cost and layout area. |
| AD7664ASTZ | Same PulSAR family, pin-compatible 48-lead LQFP, but 16-bit/250 kSPS - half the throughput, identical INL/SNR specs. | Suitable for lower-bandwidth applications where 250 kSPS suffices; allows trade-off between speed and power (55 mW vs. 66 mW). | Choose AD7664ASTZ if system sampling rate ≤250 kSPS and power budget is tighter; AD7666ASTZRL is preferred for full 500 kSPS capability. |
Compared with AD7665ASTZ, AD7666ASTZRL offers integrated reference and unipolar optimization at full speed; compared with AD7664ASTZ, it doubles throughput while maintaining identical linearity and noise performance - making it the optimal choice for new 500 kSPS precision DAQ designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7666ASTZRL?
The AD7666ASTZRL supports a maximum throughput rate of 500 kSPS, corresponding to a minimum conversion cycle time of 2 µs. This is achievable in both parallel and serial interface modes, with timing rigorously specified across –40°C to +85°C. The AD7666ASTZRL achieves this speed without pipeline delay, delivering fully settled 16-bit results immediately upon BUSY deassertion.
Does the AD7666ASTZRL include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7666ASTZRL integrates a 2.5 V internal reference with ±3 ppm/°C typical temperature drift and ±15 ppm/°C maximum drift over –40°C to +85°C. The reference is enabled by pulling PDREF LOW; its output appears on the REF pin and may be buffered using the internal reference buffer when PDBUF is LOW. External reference operation is also supported via REFBUFIN.
What digital interface options does the AD7666ASTZRL support?
The AD7666ASTZRL supports both parallel and serial digital interfaces. In parallel mode (SER/PAR = LOW), it uses a 16-bit bidirectional data bus (D[15:0]) with RD, CS, and BUSY control. In serial mode (SER/PAR = HIGH), it operates as SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible slave or master, using SDOUT, SCLK, and SYNC pins - with configurable clock division, SYNC polarity, and SCLK inversion.
What is the analog input voltage range for the AD7666ASTZRL?
The AD7666ASTZRL accepts a unipolar analog input voltage range of 0 V to 2.5 V, referenced to INGND. The device specifies ±0.1 V absolute maximum ratings beyond this range, and analog input CMRR is 65 dB at 10 kHz. For operation outside this range, external signal conditioning (e.g., scaling amplifiers) is required - the AD7666ASTZRL itself does not support true bipolar or extended-range inputs.
How is the AD7666ASTZRL packaged, and what are its thermal characteristics?
The AD7666ASTZRL is supplied in a 48-lead LQFP (ST-48) package with exposed pad, compliant with JEDEC MO-220. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 91°C/W (free air). The device is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient, with junction temperature limited to 150°C. Power dissipation is 66 mW typical at 500 kSPS without reference, rising to 81 mW with internal reference enabled.
