Product details
Overview
AD7689BCBZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is an 8-channel, 16-bit, 250 kSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with integrated multiplexer, internal 2.5 V/4.096 V reference, temperature sensor, and SPI-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 2.3 V to 5.5 V supply, supports unipolar/differential/pseudobipolar input configurations, and delivers ±0.4 LSB typical INL and 92.5 dB SINAD at 20 kHz - enabling high-accuracy multichannel data acquisition in space-constrained medical ECG systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7689BCBZ-RL7 datasheet, AD7689BCBZ-RL7 pinout, AD7689BCBZ-RL7 application, or AD7689BCBZ-RL7 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping to the 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP, confirmed 20-pin terminal roles, real-world use cases in battery-powered instrumentation, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and thermal differences.
Technical Context
The AD7689BCBZ-RL7 implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with no pipeline delay, supporting full-bandwidth conversion in 2.2 µs and acquisition time of 1.8 µs. Its 8-channel low-crosstalk multiplexer enables flexible input configuration - including ground-sense differential and pseudobipolar modes - with −125 dB channel-to-channel crosstalk at 100 kHz.
It integrates a selectable internal reference (2.5 V or 4.096 V), a dedicated temperature sensor output (283 mV at 25°C, 1 mV/°C sensitivity), and a configurable 1-pole filter. The SPI-compatible serial interface uses independent VIO (1.8 V to 5.5 V) for logic-level compatibility and supports read/write during conversion with busy-indicator control via CNV pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full-scale linearity for precision measurement systems. |
| Throughput | 250 kSPS at VDD ≥ 4.5 V - supports real-time sampling of fast transients in power line monitoring and seismic acquisition. |
| INL | ±0.4 LSB typical (±1.5 LSB max) - ensures <±23 ppm FSR error across temperature, critical for calibrated medical instruments. |
| SINAD | 92.5 dB at 20 kHz (VREF = 5 V) - enables >15-bit effective resolution in audio-band signal capture without external dithering. |
| Supply Range | VDD = 2.3 V to 5.5 V; VIO = 1.8 V to VDD - allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Power Dissipation | 12.5 mW at 5 V/250 kSPS - achieves 60 nJ/conversion energy efficiency, suitable for always-on battery-powered sensors. |

Pinout & Package
The AD7689BCBZ-RL7 is housed in a 20-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP) with exposed pad (EPAD) for thermal and mechanical reliability. Pin numbering follows standard LFCSP top-down view (pin 1 at top-left corner, counterclockwise).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 20 | VDD | Main analog power supply (2.3–5.5 V); requires 10 μF + 100 nF decoupling; minimum 4.5 V when using 4.096 V internal reference. |
| 2 | REF | Reference input/output - sources 2.5 V or 4.096 V when internal ref enabled; accepts buffered external reference up to VDD − 0.5 V. |
| 3 | REFIN | Internal reference buffer input - connects to precision external reference or supplies unbuffered bandgap voltage when internal ref active. |
| 4, 5 | GND | Analog ground return - must be tied to system ground plane; EPAD soldered to GND improves thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
| 6, 8, 17, 19 | IN4, IN6, IN1, IN3 | Analog input channels - eight total (IN0–IN7); each configurable as unipolar single-ended, differential (vs. COM), or pseudobipolar. |
| 10 | COM | Common-mode reference input - sets 0 V or VREF/2 bias point for all analog inputs; enables true differential measurements. |
| 11 | CNV | Conversion start input - rising edge initiates sampling; held low during conversion enables busy indicator on SDO. |
| 12 | DIN | Serial configuration input - writes to 14-bit CFG register during or after conversion; supports dynamic mode reconfiguration. |
| 13 | SCK | Serial clock input - clocks data in/out synchronously; compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP interfaces. |
| 14 | SDO | Serial data output - outputs 16-bit conversion result MSB-first; polarity depends on unipolar (straight binary) or bipolar (two's complement) mode. |
| 15 | VIO | Digital I/O supply - sets logic threshold for DIN/SCK/SDO; independent of VDD, enabling mixed-voltage host interfacing. |
| 16, 18 | IN0, IN2 | Analog input channels - part of the full 8-channel set; IN0 is always active; IN2 maps to AD7689 channel 2 per LFCSP pinout. |
| 21 | EPAD | Exposed thermal pad - not electrically connected internally; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 8-channel multiplexer | Supports simultaneous configuration of inputs as unipolar, differential (GND-sense), or pseudobipolar - eliminates need for external analog switches or op-amp front-ends. |
| Selectable internal reference | 2.5 V or 4.096 V options with ±10 ppm/°C drift and 5 ms turn-on settling - removes external reference IC and reduces BOM count in portable designs. |
| On-chip temperature sensor | 283 mV output at 25°C with 1 mV/°C slope, accessible via dedicated MUX channel - enables system-level thermal compensation without discrete sensors. |
| Configurable channel sequencer | Automatically scans selected channels in order; reduces host CPU overhead and ensures deterministic timing in continuous acquisition modes. |
| Low-power standby mode | 50 nA quiescent current at 5 V - extends battery life in wake-on-event sensor nodes and intermittent-monitoring applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7682BCBZ-RL7 | 4-channel version, identical 16-bit SAR core, same LFCSP package and SPI interface, but lacks IN4–IN7 pins and associated internal routing. | Suitable only for ≤4-channel systems; cannot replace AD7689BCBZ-RL7 in 8-channel designs without hardware revision. | Select when channel count is fixed at four and board layout reuse is prioritized over future scalability. |
| AD7699ACPZ-RL7 | 8-channel, 16-bit, 500 kSPS SAR ADC with higher throughput, wider input bandwidth (3.5 MHz), and improved SNR (94.5 dB), but requires 4.75–5.25 V VDD only. | Targeted at high-speed industrial DAQ where 250 kSPS is insufficient; not suitable for 2.3–3.6 V battery operation. | Choose for applications needing >250 kSPS or better AC performance, accepting tighter supply constraints and higher power (25 mW). |
Compared with AD7682BCBZ-RL7, the AD7689BCBZ-RL7 adds four extra analog inputs and internal routing without increasing package size or interface complexity; compared with AD7699ACPZ-RL7, it trades speed and SNR for broader supply range and lower power - making it optimal for portable, 8-channel, sub-250 kSPS precision systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for AD7689BCBZ-RL7?
The AD7689BCBZ-RL7 is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C. This industrial-grade temperature range is fully specified in the datasheet for all key parameters including INL, SINAD, and throughput. An extended-range variant, AD7689C, supports up to +125°C but uses a different ordering code and is not interchangeable with AD7689BCBZ-RL7 without validation.
Does AD7689BCBZ-RL7 require external decoupling capacitors?
Yes, AD7689BCBZ-RL7 requires external decoupling: a 10 μF tantalum or ceramic capacitor plus a 100 nF ceramic capacitor on VDD; a 10 μF capacitor on REF; and a 0.1 μF capacitor on REFIN. These are mandatory per the datasheet to ensure stable reference operation, low-noise analog performance, and robust power integrity - especially at 250 kSPS throughput.
Can AD7689BCBZ-RL7 interface directly with a 1.8 V microcontroller?
Yes, AD7689BCBZ-RL7 supports direct 1.8 V logic interfacing via its independent VIO supply pin. When VIO = 1.8 V, DIN, SCK, and SDO operate at 1.8 V logic levels, while VDD can remain at 3.3 V or 5 V for optimal analog performance - eliminating level shifters and simplifying host connectivity in mixed-voltage systems.
How is the internal temperature sensor accessed in AD7689BCBZ-RL7?
The internal temperature sensor in AD7689BCBZ-RL7 is accessed as a dedicated analog input channel (TEMP) mapped to one of the multiplexer inputs. It outputs 283 mV at 25°C with a linear 1 mV/°C slope and is digitized alongside other channels using the same 16-bit SAR core - enabling system-level thermal calibration without external components.
Is AD7689BCBZ-RL7 pin-compatible with AD7682BCBZ-RL7?
No, AD7689BCBZ-RL7 is not pin-compatible with AD7682BCBZ-RL7. Although both use the same 20-lead LFCSP package, pin functions differ significantly: AD7689BCBZ-RL7 assigns pins 6, 8, 17, and 19 to IN4, IN6, IN1, and IN3 respectively, whereas those pins are NC or alternate channels on AD7682BCBZ-RL7. PCB layout must be redesigned for substitution.
