Product details
Overview
AD7687BCPZRL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, single-supply, successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with true differential input, ±VREF range, and no missing codes. It delivers 250 kSPS throughput, ±1.5 LSB max INL, 95.5 dB SNR at 20 kHz, and operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply with 1.8 V–5 V logic interface - ideal for high-precision, low-power data acquisition in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7687BCPZRL7 datasheet, AD7687BCPZRL7 pinout, AD7687BCPZRL7 application, or AD7687BCPZRL7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world application mappings, and confirmed alternative options for battery-powered medical instruments, process control sensors, and embedded test equipment.
Technical Context
The AD7687BCPZRL7 uses a charge redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, delivering zero pipeline delay and 1.8 µs transient response to full-scale steps. Its differential input stage supports true bipolar operation (−VREF to +VREF) and achieves 65 dB CMRR at 250 kHz, enabling accurate measurement in noisy industrial environments.
It features a proprietary SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain capability and optional BUSY indicator via SDI pin. Power consumption scales linearly with throughput: 1.35 mW at 2.5 V/100 kSPS and only 1.4 µW at 2.5 V/100 SPS - critical for energy-constrained systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full temperature range. |
| Throughput | 250 kSPS at VDD = 4.5–5.5 V - enables real-time sampling of audio-band and control-loop signals. |
| INL | ±1.5 LSB max (±23 ppm of FSR) - ensures <0.0023% absolute linearity error for precision sensor interfacing. |
| SNR | 95.5 dB at 20 kHz, VREF = 5 V - supports >15.8 ENOB for high-fidelity signal capture in instrumentation. |
| Analog Input Range | True differential ±VREF, with common-mode range 0 to VREF/2 + 0.1 V - allows flexible reference scaling and rail-to-rail input handling. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.35 mW at 2.5 V/100 kSPS; 1.4 µW at 2.5 V/100 SPS - enables multi-year battery life in portable devices. |
| Digital Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible, 3-/4-wire or daisy-chain mode, with BUSY indicator - simplifies host MCU integration without FIFO buffering. |
Pinout & Package
AD7687BCPZRL7 is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP (3 mm × 3 mm), RoHS-compliant, with exposed paddle not present (MSOP variant). Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices Rev. E datasheet Figure 4 and Table 8.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 REF | Analog Input | External reference voltage input (0.5 V to VDD); requires 10 µF decoupling capacitor for stable conversion accuracy. |
| 2 VDD | Power Supply | Main analog/digital supply (2.3 V–5.5 V); powers internal track-and-hold, DAC, and logic core. |
| 3 IN+ | Analog Input | Differential positive input; accepts −VREF to +VREF relative to IN−, with 65 dB CMRR at 250 kHz. |
| 4 IN− | Analog Input | Differential negative input; defines common-mode baseline and enables true bipolar measurement. |
| 5 GND | Power Ground | Analog and digital ground reference; must be low-impedance and separated from noisy digital returns. |
| 6 CNV | Digital Input | Convert trigger and interface mode selector; rising edge initiates sampling and determines CS vs. chain mode via SDI state. |
| 7 SDO | Digital Output | Serial data output (16-bit two's complement); doubles as BUSY indicator when enabled in chain mode. |
| 8 SCK | Digital Input | Serial clock input; controls data shift timing; SCK state at CNV edge enables/disables BUSY feature. |
| 9 SDI | Digital Input | Serial data input and interface mode control; low = chain mode (daisy-chain), high = CS mode (chip-select). |
| 10 VIO | Power Supply | Independent I/O voltage supply (1.8 V–5 V); isolates ADC logic from host MCU voltage domain. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Zero-latency conversion results available immediately after tCONV - essential for closed-loop control and multiplexed channel synchronization. |
| Daisy-chain capability | Multiple AD7687BCPZRL7 units share one SDO line using SDI as data-in; eliminates bus contention and reduces PCB routing complexity. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 1 nA typical at 5 V - enables microamp-level system sleep states without sacrificing wake-up speed or accuracy. |
| Wide supply and logic compatibility | VDD = 2.3–5.5 V and VIO = 1.8–5 V - supports direct interfacing with modern low-voltage MCUs (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+) without level shifters. |
| True differential input architecture | Rejects common-mode noise up to 250 kHz while maintaining ±VREF full-scale range - improves immunity in motor drive and sensor front-end applications. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7685BCPZRL7 | 100 kSPS max throughput, same 10-lead MSOP package and pinout - lower speed but identical interface and power profile. | Best suited for cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth applications like environmental monitoring where 250 kSPS is unnecessary. | Select AD7685BCPZRL7 when system sampling rate ≤100 kSPS and board layout reuse is prioritized. |
| AD7688BCPZRL7 | 500 kSPS throughput, same family architecture and pinout - higher speed with increased power (18 mW at 5 V/500 kSPS) and slightly reduced SNR (94 dB). | Required for ultrasound imaging or high-speed vibration analysis where >250 kSPS is mandatory. | Choose AD7688BCPZRL7 only if application demands ≥500 kSPS and can accommodate higher power and thermal load. |
Compared with AD7685BCPZRL7 and AD7688BCPZRL7, the AD7687BCPZRL7 uniquely balances 250 kSPS speed, 95.5 dB SNR, and 1.35 mW power - making it the optimal choice for portable instrumentation where bandwidth, fidelity, and energy efficiency intersect.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the AD7687BCPZRL7?
The AD7687BCPZRL7 achieves a maximum throughput of 250 kSPS when operated with VDD between 4.5 V and 5.5 V. At lower supply voltages (2.3 V–4.5 V), the maximum rate drops to 200 kSPS. This is specified in Table 2 of the Rev. E datasheet and reflects actual conversion timing (tCYC = 4 µs minimum at 5 V).
Does the AD7687BCPZRL7 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7687BCPZRL7 requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin. The reference range is 0.5 V to VDD, and it directly sets the full-scale differential input range (±VREF). A 10 µF decoupling capacitor is mandatory at the REF pin to maintain DC accuracy and AC performance.
Is the AD7687BCPZRL7 pin-compatible with other PulSAR ADCs?
Yes, the AD7687BCPZRL7 is pin-for-pin compatible with AD7685BCPZRL7 (100 kSPS), AD7686BCPZRL7 (250 kSPS, pseudo-differential), and AD7688BCPZRL7 (500 kSPS), as confirmed in the General Description and Table 1 of the Rev. E datasheet - enabling drop-in upgrades or downgrades within the same PCB layout.
What digital interface modes does the AD7687BCPZRL7 support?
The AD7687BCPZRL7 supports three interface configurations: CS mode (3- or 4-wire), Chain mode (daisy-chain), and BUSY indicator mode - all selected dynamically via SDI and SCK states at the CNV rising edge. All modes are SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible and require no external protocol translation.
How does the AD7687BCPZRL7 manage power in low-throughput applications?
The AD7687BCPZRL7 scales power linearly with throughput: it consumes just 1.4 µW at 2.5 V and 100 SPS, and its standby current is only 1 nA. This ultra-low quiescent power is achieved by powering down internal circuitry between conversions - a key enabler for multi-year battery life in remote sensing nodes.
