Product details
Overview
AD7685BCPZRL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, pseudo-differential, successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 250 kSPS throughput, ±2 LSB integral nonlinearity, 93.5 dB SINAD at 20 kHz, and no pipeline delay-designed for high-precision data acquisition in battery-powered medical instruments and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7685BCPZRL7 datasheet, AD7685BCPZRL7 pinout, AD7685BCPZRL7 application, or AD7685BCPZRL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, MSOP-10 pin mapping, real-world timing behavior across 2.3–5.5 V supply, and validated alternatives for low-power 16-bit SAR ADC selection.
Technical Context
The AD7685BCPZRL7 employs a charge redistribution capacitive DAC architecture with integrated track-and-hold, enabling true 16-bit resolution without missing codes and zero latency conversion. Its CNV-triggered sampling captures IN+ relative to IN− over 0 V to VREF, supporting external reference voltages up to VDD.
It features a SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain capability and optional BUSY indicator, powered by dual supplies: VDD (2.3–5.5 V) for analog core and VIO (1.8–VDD+0.3 V) for logic compatibility with 1.8 V/2.5 V/3 V/5 V hosts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage for precision measurement systems. |
| Throughput | 250 kSPS at VDD = 4.5–5.5 V-supports real-time signal capture in portable oscilloscopes and sensor interfaces. |
| INL | ±2 LSB max (±0.003% FSR)-enables accurate DC calibration and multi-channel system linearity matching. |
| SINAD | 93.5 dB at 20 kHz, VREF = 5 V-delivers >15.5 ENOB for high-fidelity audio and vibration analysis. |
| Power @ 100 kSPS | 1.35 mW at 2.5 V-enables >10-year battery life in 100-SPS sleep-wake cycles for remote monitoring nodes. |
| Aperture Delay | 2.5 ns at VDD = 5 V-minimizes sampling uncertainty in wideband signal reconstruction. |
| Reference Range | 0.5 V to VDD-allows flexible scaling from low-voltage sensors to full-supply-rail inputs without external buffers. |
Pinout & Package
AD7685BCPZRL7 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP package (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad connected to GND (not required for electrical performance).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF | Analog reference input | Accepts 0.5 V to VDD; must be decoupled with 10 µF capacitor-sets full-scale range and directly impacts gain accuracy. |
| VDD | Analog power supply | 2.3–5.5 V single supply powers internal DAC, comparator, and track-and-hold-determines dynamic range and noise floor. |
| IN+ | Pseudo-differential analog input | Input voltage measured relative to IN−; supports 0 V to VREF range-ideal for single-ended sources with ground-referenced sensing. |
| IN− | Analog ground sense | Provides remote ground reference point; connects to analog ground plane-rejects common-mode noise in noisy environments. |
| GND | Power ground | Common return for VDD and analog circuitry-requires low-impedance connection to minimize offset drift. |
| CNV | Convert control input | Rising edge initiates conversion and selects interface mode (CS or chain); doubles as chip select in CS mode-defines timing critical path. |
| SDO | Serial data output | 16-bit straight-binary result synchronized to SCK falling edge-drives 50 pF load with 5 ns hold time at 2.3 V VIO. |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Drives data shift-out; minimum period 15 ns at VIO > 4.5 V-enables >66 MHz interface clock for fast readout. |
| SDI | Serial data input | Selects CS vs. chain mode on CNV rising edge; enables daisy-chaining or BUSY signaling-eliminates need for additional GPIOs. |
| VIO | Digital I/O supply | 1.8–VDD+0.3 V independent rail-ensures logic compatibility with mixed-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Conversion result available immediately after tCONV (≤2.2 µs), enabling deterministic timing in closed-loop control. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 1 nA at 25°C-reduces quiescent drain in always-on sensor nodes and extends shelf life of sealed devices. |
| Wide VIO range | Supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, and 5 V logic families without level shifters-simplifies integration with modern low-voltage SoCs. |
| Daisy-chain capability | Multiple AD7685BCPZRL7 units share one SDO line using SDI as data-in-cuts PCB routing complexity and reduces host SPI peripheral count. |
| Pin-for-pin compatibility | Interchangeable with AD7686, AD7687, and AD7688-enables scalable design reuse across 16-bit PulSAR® family variants. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7687BRMZ | Same 16-bit PulSAR® architecture, but rated for 500 kSPS and uses LFCSP-10 package-higher speed, smaller footprint, identical pinout. | Preferred where higher throughput or space-constrained layouts are required; not drop-in due to different thermal pad requirements. | Select AD7687BRMZ when >250 kSPS sampling or tighter board area budgets drive design-verify thermal management for LFCSP. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | Texas Instruments 16-bit SAR ADC with 1 MSPS throughput, SPI interface, and 1.8 V–3.6 V supply-lower power at high speed but narrower VREF range (0.5–3.6 V). | Better suited for ultra-low-voltage embedded systems; lacks daisy-chain support and has lower INL (±3.5 LSB max). | Choose ADS8860IDRCT for battery-operated IoT endpoints needing 1 MSPS with 1.8 V logic-accept trade-off in linearity and interface flexibility. |
Compared with AD7685BCPZRL7, AD7687BRMZ offers higher speed in same form factor while ADS8860IDRCT provides superior energy efficiency per sample at the cost of reduced DC accuracy and missing daisy-chain capability-selection depends on whether throughput, power, or system-level interface simplicity is dominant.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended reference voltage for AD7685BCPZRL7?
The AD7685BCPZRL7 supports an external reference voltage (REF) from 0.5 V up to VDD. When VDD = 5.5 V, REF may be set to 5.5 V; however, typical operation uses VREF = VDD = 5 V or 2.5 V. Exceeding VDD on REF violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. The AD7685BCPZRL7 datasheet specifies REF ≤ VDD under all conditions.
Does AD7685BCPZRL7 support true differential input mode?
No, AD7685BCPZRL7 implements pseudo-differential input architecture: IN+ is sampled relative to IN−, but IN− serves only as a ground sense reference-not an active complementary input. It does not accept inverted differential signals like true differential ADCs (e.g., AD7689). The AD7685BCPZRL7 input range is defined as 0 V to VREF between IN+ and IN−, with IN− tied to analog ground or remote sense point.
Can AD7685BCPZRL7 operate with a 1.8 V digital interface while using a 5 V analog supply?
Yes, AD7685BCPZRL7 supports independent supplies: VDD = 5 V powers the analog core, while VIO = 1.8 V powers the digital interface. This configuration is explicitly validated in the datasheet's timing tables (Table 4 and Table 5) and allows seamless interfacing with 1.8 V microcontrollers without level shifters. The AD7685BCPZRL7 maintains full 250 kSPS throughput and 93.5 dB SINAD under this mixed-supply condition.
What is the minimum acquisition time required for full 16-bit accuracy in AD7685BCPZRL7?
The AD7685BCPZRL7 requires a minimum acquisition time (tACQ) of 1.8 µs, as specified in Tables 4 and 5 across all supply and temperature conditions. This value is fixed and independent of throughput-it ensures the internal sampling capacitor fully settles to within ½ LSB of final value. Shorter acquisition times risk DNL degradation and missing codes; the AD7685BCPZRL7 does not support programmable acquisition windows.
Is AD7685BCPZRL7 pin-compatible with other PulSAR® ADCs in MSOP-10 packages?
Yes, AD7685BCPZRL7 is pin-for-pin compatible with AD7686, AD7687, and AD7688 in the MSOP-10 package, as confirmed in the General Description and Pin Configuration sections of the AD7685 datasheet. This allows direct substitution within the same footprint for design scalability-though users must verify timing, power, and reference requirements match the target variant's specifications before replacement.
