Product details
Overview
AD7683ACPZRL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 100 kSPS, pseudo-differential successive approximation ADC with no missing codes (B grade), single-supply operation (2.7 V to 5.5 V), SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, and 1 nA standby current. It integrates an on-chip track-and-hold and operates in MSOP or 3 mm × 3 mm QFN (LFCSP) packages for precision data acquisition in space-constrained, low-power systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7683ACPZRL7 datasheet, AD7683ACPZRL7 pinout, AD7683ACPZRL7 application, or AD7683ACPZRL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-bit resolution with ±1 LSB typical INL, 90 dB SNR at 1 kHz, 4 mW power at 5 V/100 kSPS, and support for external reference voltages up to VDD - critical for battery-powered instrumentation and medical sensors requiring high DC accuracy and low idle power.
Technical Context
The AD7683ACPZRL7 uses a charge redistribution SAR architecture with a built-in track-and-hold, enabling zero-latency conversion and no pipeline delay. Its pseudo-differential input accepts 0 V to VREF across +IN and –IN, referenced to a ground-sense –IN pin, supporting remote ground sensing for noise rejection in noisy analog environments.
Conversion is initiated on the CS falling edge, synchronized to an external DCLOCK (≤2.9 MHz), with full 16-bit output delivered in 22–24 clock cycles. Power scales linearly with throughput - consuming only 150 µW at 10 kSPS/2.7 V - making it suitable for duty-cycled, energy-sensitive measurement nodes.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The AD7683ACPZRL7 is available in an 8-lead QFN (LFCSP) package (3 mm × 3 mm), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad connected to GND for thermal and noise performance. Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = +IN, Pin 3 = –IN, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = CS, Pin 6 = DOUT, Pin 7 = DCLOCK, Pin 8 = VDD. Exposed pad is electrically optional but recommended for thermal stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF | Analog reference input | Accepts 0.5 V to VDD; decoupled with ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor to GND for stable conversion accuracy. |
| +IN | Pseudo-differential analog input | Measures voltage relative to –IN; supports 0 V to VREF range with 1 nA leakage for high-impedance source compatibility. |
| –IN | Analog ground sense | Enables remote ground referencing to reject common-mode noise; must be tied to analog ground or sensor return. |
| GND | Power and analog ground | Common reference for VDD, REF, and analog inputs; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| CS | Digital chip select | Falling edge initiates conversion and enables DOUT; device enters shutdown mode upon completion. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | 16-bit straight-binary output synchronized to DCLOCK falling edge; high-impedance when CS is high. |
| DCLOCK | Serial interface clock | Accepts up to 2.9 MHz; controls timing of data readout; no internal clock generation required. |
| VDD | Single power supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V operation; powers analog and digital sections; current scales linearly with throughput. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No missing codes (16-bit) | Guaranteed monotonic transfer function across full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), eliminating code ambiguities in closed-loop control. |
| 1 nA standby current | Enables microamp-level system sleep states; ideal for wake-on-event architectures in portable medical and environmental monitors. |
| Pseudo-differential input with –IN sense | Rejects ground potential differences between sensor and ADC; eliminates offset drift caused by PCB trace IR drop or shared return paths. |
| Linear power vs. throughput scaling | Reduces average power by >95% at 10 kSPS vs. 100 kSPS - simplifies thermal design and extends battery runtime without sacrificing resolution. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7685BRMZ | Higher throughput (250 kSPS), ±0.5 LSB typical INL, same 8-lead MSOP/QFN footprint, but requires 3.3 V min VDD. | Better suited for higher-bandwidth applications (e.g., vibration analysis) where 100 kSPS is limiting. | Select AD7685BRMZ if system needs >100 kSPS or tighter INL; verify VDD ≥3.3 V and layout compatibility with AD7683ACPZRL7. |
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit, 100 kSPS, but uses parallel interface and requires dual supplies (±5 V analog, +3.3 V digital); no integrated track-and-hold. | Legacy industrial systems with existing parallel bus infrastructure and higher power budgets. | Choose ADS8325IPW only when migrating from legacy parallel-based designs; avoid for new low-power or SPI-native designs. |
Compared with AD7685BRMZ and ADS8325IPW, the AD7683ACPZRL7 uniquely balances ultra-low standby current (1 nA), single-supply simplicity (2.7 V), and SPI-native interface - making it optimal for next-generation portable and energy-harvested measurement systems where size, power, and integration matter most.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the AD7683ACPZRL7 digital interface?
The AD7683ACPZRL7 supports a maximum DCLOCK frequency of 2.9 MHz, as specified in the Timing Specifications table. This allows full 16-bit data readout within the 10 µs conversion cycle. Operating above this limit risks timing violations and invalid data; actual usable clock rate depends on PCB trace length, load capacitance, and microcontroller drive strength - verified in Figure 2 of the AD7683ACPZRL7 datasheet.
Does the AD7683ACPZRL7 require an external reference voltage, and what are the acceptable ranges?
Yes, the AD7683ACPZRL7 requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin. The valid range is 0.5 V to VDD, with VDD between 2.7 V and 5.5 V. For example, with VDD = 3.3 V, REF may be set from 0.5 V to 3.3 V; with VDD = 5 V, REF may go up to 5 V. Reference decoupling with ≥2.2 µF ceramic capacitor to GND is mandatory for specified INL and noise performance per the AD7683ACPZRL7 application diagram.
Can the AD7683ACPZRL7 operate from a 2.7 V supply while maintaining full 16-bit performance?
Yes, the AD7683ACPZRL7 is fully specified at 2.7 V supply voltage, including 16-bit resolution with no missing codes, ±1 LSB typical INL (B grade), and 100 kSPS throughput. At 2.7 V, operating current is 560 µA at 100 kSPS and power dissipation drops to 1.5 mW. AC performance (e.g., SNR = 85 dB at 1 kHz) remains within datasheet limits, confirming full functionality across the entire 2.7 V–5.5 V range.
What is the purpose of the –IN pin on the AD7683ACPZRL7, and how should it be connected?
The –IN pin on the AD7683ACPZRL7 serves as the analog ground sense reference for the pseudo-differential input, enabling rejection of common-mode noise and elimination of ground loop errors. It must be connected either to the local analog ground plane or to a remote ground point near the signal source (e.g., sensor return). Floating –IN or tying it to VDD/GND without regard to signal source grounding degrades INL and introduces offset errors - as detailed in the Analog Input section of the AD7683ACPZRL7 datasheet.
Is the AD7683ACPZRL7 pin-compatible with the ADS8320 or ADS8325?
No, the AD7683ACPZRL7 is not pin-compatible with the ADS8320 or ADS8325. While the AD7683ACPZRL7 is described as an "improved second source" to those devices, it uses an 8-lead MSOP/QFN package with SPI interface, whereas the ADS8320/ADS8325 use 20-pin TSSOP packages and parallel interfaces. Pin count, pin functions, and physical layout differ fundamentally - requiring PCB redesign for substitution. The AD7683ACPZRL7 offers functional equivalence in resolution and speed, not mechanical compatibility.
