Product details
Overview
AD7685CRMZRL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, pseudo-differential, successive-approximation ADC with 250 kSPS throughput, ±2 LSB max INL, 93.5 dB SINAD at 20 kHz, and single-supply operation from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. It features no pipeline delay, SPI-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE™-/DSP-compatible serial interface, and operates in MSOP-10 package for precision data acquisition in space-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7685CRMZRL7 datasheet, AD7685CRMZRL7 pinout, AD7685CRMZRL7 application, or AD7685CRMZRL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10-lead MSOP footprint, 1.8 V–5 V logic interface via VIO, daisy-chain capability, 1 nA standby current, and compatibility with battery-powered medical and instrumentation systems requiring true 16-bit resolution without missing codes.
Technical Context
The AD7685CRMZRL7 employs a charge redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, enabling acquisition in 1.8 µs and conversion in ≤2.2 µs (VDD ≥4.5 V). Its pseudo-differential input accepts 0 V to VREF differential range referenced to IN−, supporting external reference voltages from 0.5 V to VDD.
Digital interface modes include CS-based 3-/4-wire and chain mode with BUSY indicator; all support 1.8 V–5 V logic levels via dedicated VIO supply. Power dissipation scales linearly with throughput-1.35 mW at 100 kSPS/2.5 V and 10 mW at 250 kSPS/5 V-enabling low-power and high-speed operation within the same device.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full-scale range. |
| Throughput | 250 kSPS maximum (VDD ≥4.5 V)-supports real-time sampling of signals up to ~100 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| INL | ±2 LSB maximum (±0.003% FSR)-ensures high absolute accuracy for calibrated measurement systems. |
| SINAD | 93.5 dB at 20 kHz (VREF = 5 V)-delivers >15.5 ENOB for high-fidelity signal capture in instrumentation. |
| Supply Range | VDD: 2.3 V–5.5 V; VIO: 1.8 V–VDD + 0.3 V-enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V host controllers. |
| Standby Current | 1 nA at 5 V/25°C-minimizes quiescent power in wake-on-event or duty-cycled battery applications. |
| Package | 10-lead MSOP (3 mm × 3 mm)-provides compact, surface-mountable footprint compatible with automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
AD7685CRMZRL7 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP package (3 mm × 3 mm), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad connected to GND (not required for electrical performance).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 REF | Analog reference input | Accepts 0.5 V–VDD external reference; requires local 10 µF decoupling for stable conversion accuracy. |
| 2 VDD | Analog power supply | 2.3 V–5.5 V main supply; powers internal analog circuitry including track-and-hold and DAC array. |
| 3 IN+ | Pseudo-differential analog input (+) | Input voltage range: 0 V to VREF relative to IN−; high-impedance node during acquisition (1 nA leakage). |
| 4 IN− | Analog ground sense input | Reference point for IN+; connects to system analog ground or remote sense plane to reject common-mode noise. |
| 5 GND | Power ground | Common return for VDD and analog circuitry; must be low-impedance and separated from digital ground where possible. |
| 6 CNV | Convert control input | Rising edge initiates conversion and selects interface mode (CS vs. chain); doubles as chip select in CS mode. |
| 7 SDO | Serial data output | 16-bit straight-binary output synchronized to SCK; high-impedance when not selected or after tDIS (25 ns). |
| 8 SCK | Serial clock input | Drives data shift-out; minimum period 15 ns (VDD ≥4.5 V); timing varies with VIO voltage level. |
| 9 SDI | Serial data input | Configures interface mode on CNV rising edge (low = chain, high = CS); enables daisy-chaining in chain mode. |
| 10 VIO | Digital I/O power supply | 1.8 V–VDD + 0.3 V supply sets logic thresholds for SDI/SCK/SDO; isolates digital noise from analog section. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Immediate availability of conversion result after tCONV (≤2.2 µs), eliminating latency in closed-loop control or multiplexed channel sequencing. |
| Proprietary SPI-compatible interface | Supports 3-wire CS mode, 4-wire CS mode, and daisy-chain mode with optional BUSY indicator-reduces GPIO count and simplifies multi-ADC synchronization. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 1 nA at 5 V/25°C enables multi-year battery life in intermittent-sampling applications such as portable diagnostics or environmental sensors. |
| Pseudo-differential input architecture | Rejects common-mode noise on IN− while accepting 0 V–VREF swing on IN+, simplifying front-end design versus fully differential ADCs. |
| Pin-for-pin compatibility | Direct replacement for AD7686/AD7687/AD7688 in same MSOP-10 footprint-enables scalable resolution/performance upgrades without PCB redesign. |

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 10-lead MSOP package, 250 kSPS, but with true differential input (IN+/IN−) and higher 95.5 dB SINAD at 20 kHz. | Requires fully differential driver stage; better suited for high-EMI environments or bipolar input ranges. | Select AD7687BRMZ when true differential signaling and improved AC performance outweigh added front-end complexity. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | Texas Instruments 16-bit SAR ADC in 10-pin VSSOP; 1 MSPS throughput, 92 dB SINAD, 1.8 V–3.6 V supply only. | Higher speed but narrower supply range; lacks daisy-chain mode and has no BUSY indicator. | Choose ADS8860IDRCT for ultra-low-voltage, high-throughput applications where TI's ecosystem and 1 MSPS rate are prioritized over multi-ADC synchronization features. |
Compared with AD7685CRMZRL7, AD7687BRMZ offers superior AC specs and differential input at the cost of increased analog front-end design effort, while ADS8860IDRCT delivers higher sample rate in a pin-compatible VSSOP package but sacrifices flexibility in logic interface and power supply range.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the AD7685CRMZRL7?
The AD7685CRMZRL7 achieves a maximum throughput of 250 kSPS when operated with VDD ≥4.5 V. At lower supplies (2.3 V–4.5 V), the rated maximum drops to 200 kSPS. This specification is guaranteed across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range and reflects the time between consecutive CNV rising edges (tCYC = 4 µs minimum at VDD ≥4.5 V). The AD7685CRMZRL7 completes each conversion in ≤2.2 µs, enabling tight timing margins in deterministic real-time systems.
Does the AD7685CRMZRL7 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7685CRMZRL7 requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin. The REF input accepts voltages from 0.5 V up to VDD, and the analog input range is defined as 0 V to VREF differential between IN+ and IN−. The device does not include an internal reference; therefore, a stable, low-noise external reference (e.g., ADR45xx series) with appropriate decoupling (10 µF ceramic + 100 nF ceramic) is mandatory for specified INL and gain error performance. Reference load current is ≤50 µA at 250 kSPS.
Can the AD7685CRMZRL7 interface directly with a 1.8 V microcontroller?
Yes, the AD7685CRMZRL7 supports direct 1.8 V logic interfacing via its dedicated VIO supply pin. When VIO = 1.8 V, digital inputs (CNV, SDI, SCK) recognize VIH ≥1.26 V and VIL ≤0.54 V, and the SDO output drives VOH ≥1.5 V and VOL ≤0.4 V under 500 µA load. This independent I/O supply eliminates level-shifting components and ensures robust communication with low-voltage MCUs while maintaining analog section integrity through separate VDD and GND paths.
What package type is used for the AD7685CRMZRL7?
The AD7685CRMZRL7 is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package) measuring 3 mm × 3 mm, with an exposed pad connected to GND. This package is RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable, and pin-for-pin compatible with other PulSAR® ADCs including AD7686, AD7687, and AD7688. The MSOP-10 footprint enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining manufacturability in standard reflow processes.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the AD7685CRMZRL7?
Daisy-chain mode on the AD7685CRMZRL7 is activated when SDI is held low during the CNV rising edge. In this mode, multiple AD7685CRMZRL7 devices share a single SDO line: the first ADC shifts out its 16-bit result, then passes the data from SDI through to SDO after 16 SCK cycles, allowing cascaded readout without additional chip-select lines. The BUSY indicator can be enabled optionally to signal conversion completion. This reduces SPI peripheral pin count and simplifies firmware for multi-channel systems.
