Product details
Overview
AD7687BRMZRL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with true differential input, ±VREF range, 250 kSPS throughput, ±1.5 LSB max INL, and no missing codes. It operates from a single 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply, supports 1.8 V–5 V logic via separate VIO, and targets precision data acquisition in space-constrained, low-power systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7687BRMZRL7 datasheet, AD7687BRMZRL7 pinout, AD7687BRMZRL7 application, or AD7687BRMZRL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, MSOP-10 pin mapping, real-world use cases in medical instrumentation and battery-powered sensors, and validated alternative options for design continuity.
Technical Context
The AD7687BRMZRL7 employs 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 accepts ±VREF (up to VDD) with 65 dB CMRR at 250 kHz and 2 MHz −3 dB bandwidth.
It features a SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface supporting both CS-mode (3-/4-wire) and daisy-chain mode, with optional BUSY indication via SDI. Power scales linearly with throughput: 1.35 mW at 2.5 V/100 kSPS and only 1.4 µW at 2.5 V/100 SPS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across temperature. |
| Throughput | 250 kSPS at VDD = 4.5–5.5 V - enables high-speed sampling for dynamic signal capture without latency. |
| INL | ±1.5 LSB max (±23 ppm of FSR) - ensures high absolute accuracy for calibrated measurement systems. |
| SNR | 95.5 dB at 20 kHz, VREF = 5 V - supports >15.7 ENOB for clean digitization of low-noise analog signals. |
| Supply Range | VDD = 2.3 V to 5.5 V; VIO = 1.8 V to VDD + 0.3 V - allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V microcontrollers. |
| Power @ 100 kSPS | 1.35 mW at 2.5 V - enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation with minimal thermal impact. |
| Standby Current | 1 nA - facilitates ultra-low-power sleep states in energy-harvesting or wake-on-event designs. |
Pinout & Package
AD7687BRMZRL7 is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP (3 mm × 3 mm), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount package with exposed pad not connected (MSOP variant). Pin functions are electrically identical to the LFCSP version but lack EPAD grounding requirement.
| 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 noise immunity. |
| 2 VDD | Power Supply | Main analog/digital supply (2.3 V–5.5 V); powers internal circuitry and reference buffer. |
| 3 IN+ | Analog Input | Differential positive input; accepts voltage from −VREF to +VREF relative to IN−. |
| 4 IN− | Analog Input | Differential negative input; common-mode range is 0 V to VREF/2 + 0.1 V. |
| 5 GND | Power Ground | Analog and digital ground reference; must be low-impedance and star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 CNV | Digital Input | Convert trigger and interface mode selector; rising edge initiates conversion and determines CS vs. chain mode. |
| 7 SDO | Digital Output | 16-bit two's complement serial output; doubles as BUSY indicator when enabled in chain mode. |
| 8 SCK | Digital Input | Serial clock input; controls data shift timing and enables BUSY feature based on level at CNV edge. |
| 9 SDI | Digital Input | Mode-select input (CS vs. chain) and daisy-chain data input; sets interface configuration on CNV rising edge. |
| 10 VIO | Power Supply | Independent I/O voltage rail (1.8 V–VDD+0.3 V); isolates logic interface from analog supply noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True differential input | Supports ±VREF range with 65 dB CMRR at 250 kHz - rejects common-mode noise in noisy industrial environments. |
| No pipeline delay | Zero-latency conversion result available immediately after tCONV (≤2.2 µs) - essential for real-time closed-loop control. |
| Daisy-chain capability | Enables synchronous readout of multiple AD7687BRMZRL7 devices on one 3-wire bus - reduces MCU GPIO count and PCB routing complexity. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 1 nA at 5 V - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like environmental sensor nodes. |
| Pin-for-pin compatibility | Interchangeable with AD7685, AD7686, and AD7688 - simplifies design reuse and performance scaling across 100–500 kSPS 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7685BRMZ | 100 kSPS max, same 10-lead MSOP package and pinout; lower power (0.7 mW @ 100 kSPS) but reduced speed and SNR (92 dB). | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth systems where 250 kSPS is unnecessary. | Select AD7685BRMZ if throughput ≤100 kSPS suffices and board layout reuse is critical. |
| AD7688BCPZ-RL7 | 500 kSPS, 10-lead LFCSP only; higher power (22 mW @ 5 V/500 kSPS), improved THD (−120 dB), but no MSOP option. | Required for high-speed multiplexed channel systems needing >250 kSPS per channel. | Choose AD7688BCPZ-RL7 only when speed >250 kSPS is mandatory and LFCSP assembly is supported. |
Compared with AD7687BRMZRL7, AD7685BRMZ trades speed for lower power and cost in static-sensing roles, while AD7688BCPZ-RL7 delivers double the throughput at the expense of higher dissipation and incompatible packaging-making AD7687BRMZRL7 the optimal balance for portable, precision, medium-speed data acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended reference voltage for AD7687BRMZRL7?
The AD7687BRMZRL7 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 2.5 V or 5 V references to maximize SNR (95.5 dB at 5 V) and maintain stability. Exceeding VDD risks damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does AD7687BRMZRL7 require an external driver amplifier for its differential inputs?
The AD7687BRMZRL7 includes an integrated track-and-hold with 2 MHz −3 dB input bandwidth and 1 nA input leakage, enabling direct connection to low-impedance sources (<1 kΩ). For high-impedance or noisy sensors, a low-noise, low-distortion amplifier (e.g., ADA4898-1) is recommended to preserve SNR and THD performance.
Can AD7687BRMZRL7 operate with a 1.8 V logic interface while using a 5 V analog supply?
Yes. AD7687BRMZRL7 separates analog (VDD) and digital I/O (VIO) supplies. With VDD = 5 V and VIO = 1.8 V, it fully complies with 1.8 V logic levels (VIH = 1.26 V min, VIL = 0.54 V max) and drives SDO to VOH ≥ 1.5 V, ensuring robust communication with 1.8 V microcontrollers without level shifters.
Is AD7687BRMZRL7 pin-compatible with AD7686BRMZ?
Yes. AD7687BRMZRL7 is explicitly specified as pin-for-pin compatible with AD7685, AD7686, and AD7688 in the datasheet. All share identical 10-lead MSOP/LFCSP pinouts, register maps, and interface protocols-enabling drop-in replacement for throughput scaling (100 → 250 → 500 kSPS) without PCB redesign.
What is the aperture delay specification for AD7687BRMZRL7?
The AD7687BRMZRL7 has a typical aperture delay of 2.5 ns at VDD = 5 V, defined as the time between the CNV rising edge and the instant the input signal is held for conversion. This ultra-low value minimizes sampling uncertainty in high-frequency signal acquisition and supports accurate time-domain analysis.
