Product details
Overview
AD7689BCPZRL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 8-channel, 250 kSPS successive approximation register (SAR) ADC 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-precision multichannel data acquisition in space-constrained industrial and medical systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7689BCPZRL7 datasheet, AD7689BCPZRL7 pinout, AD7689BCPZRL7 application, or AD7689BCPZRL7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated LFCSP-20 pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented differences, and supply-chain support tailored for OEMs building battery-powered instrumentation, ECG monitors, or power line monitoring units.
Technical Context
The AD7689BCPZRL7 implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with no pipeline delay, supporting full-bandwidth conversion at 250 kSPS (VDD ≥ 4.5 V) or 200 kSPS (VDD = 2.3–4.5 V). Its 8-channel low-crosstalk multiplexer enables configurable single-ended (GND-sense), differential, or pseudobipolar analog inputs referenced to COM or VREF/2.
It integrates a selectable internal reference (2.5 V or 4.096 V), a 1-pole programmable filter, channel sequencer, busy indicator, and on-die temperature sensor (283 mV at 25°C, 1 mV/°C sensitivity). The SPI-compatible serial interface uses independent VIO (1.8–5.5 V) for logic-level flexibility and supports read/write during or after conversion.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD7689BCPZRL7 is housed in a 20-lead 4 mm × 4 mm lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad (EPAD) recommended for soldering to PCB ground plane to improve thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pins 1, 20) | Core analog power supply | Must be ≥4.5 V when using internal 4.096 V reference; decoupled with 10 µF + 100 nF capacitors for noise immunity. |
| REF (Pin 2) | Reference output/input | Delivers selectable 2.5 V or 4.096 V internal reference; requires 10 µF external capacitor for stability. |
| REFIN (Pin 3) | Internal reference buffer input | Accepts buffered external reference up to VDD − 0.5 V; used with precision references for improved drift performance. |
| GND (Pins 4, 5) | Analog ground return | Low-impedance path for analog circuitry; must be separated from digital ground and tied at single point. |
| IN0–IN7 (Pins 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18, 19) | Configurable analog input channels | Support unipolar single-ended, differential (COM-referenced), or pseudobipolar modes; crosstalk ≤−125 dB. |
| COM (Pin 10) | Common-mode reference node | Serves as shared reference for all 8 channels; can be tied to GND (unipolar) or VREF/2 (bipolar) per configuration register. |
| CNV (Pin 11) | Conversion start trigger | Rising edge initiates sampling; held low during conversion enables busy indicator on SDO pin. |
| DIN (Pin 12) | Serial configuration input | Writes to 14-bit CFG register during or after conversion; supports dynamic reconfiguration of channel sequence and filter. |
| SCK (Pin 13) | Serial clock input | Drives synchronous SPI interface; timing compatible with MICROWIRE, QSPI, and DSP controllers. |
| SDO (Pin 14) | Serial data output | Outputs 16-bit conversion result MSB-first; doubles as busy indicator when CNV held low. |
| VIO (Pin 15) | Digital I/O power supply | Independent 1.8–5.5 V rail sets logic thresholds; isolates ADC core from host MCU voltage variations. |
| EPAD (Pin 21) | Thermal and ground pad | Not internally connected; soldering to PCB ground improves thermal dissipation and reduces EMI susceptibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 8-channel multiplexer | Enables scanning of up to eight sensors without external MUX, reducing BOM count and board area in compact DAQ systems. |
| Selectable internal reference | 2.5 V or 4.096 V options eliminate need for external reference IC in cost-sensitive designs while maintaining ±10 ppm/°C drift. |
| On-chip temperature sensor | Provides factory-calibrated 283 mV @ 25°C output with 1 mV/°C slope - usable for system thermal compensation without added components. |
| Channel sequencer & 1-pole filter | Automatically cycles through user-defined channel list and applies digital filtering to suppress noise before conversion. |
| No pipeline delay SAR architecture | Delivers deterministic latency (2.2 µs conversion time) - essential for closed-loop control and time-critical event capture. |
| Ultra-low standby current | 50 nA shutdown current extends battery life in portable instruments where ADC is active only intermittently. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for AD7689BCPZRL7?
The AD7689BCPZRL7 is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C. This grade (B suffix) guarantees full performance including ±0.4 LSB typical INL, 250 kSPS throughput, and 92.5 dB SINAD across that range. Extended temperature variants (e.g., AD7689CCPZRL7) support up to +125°C but are not applicable to the BC-grade part number AD7689BCPZRL7.
Does AD7689BCPZRL7 require an external reference, or does it have an internal one?
AD7689BCPZRL7 includes an internal selectable reference of either 2.5 V or 4.096 V, eliminating the need for an external reference in most applications. When enabled, the REF pin outputs the selected voltage and requires a 10 µF decoupling capacitor. External references (0.5 V to VDD) may also be used via REFIN for improved stability or accuracy, but are optional - the internal reference is fully functional and characterized across temperature.
How many analog input channels does AD7689BCPZRL7 support, and what configurations are available?
AD7689BCPZRL7 supports 8 analog input channels (IN0–IN7) with flexible configuration options: unipolar single-ended (referenced to GND), differential (with COM as common node), or pseudobipolar (single-ended with bipolar interpretation). The channel sequencer allows automatic scanning of any subset in user-defined order, and crosstalk is limited to −125 dB between adjacent channels.
What digital interface standards is AD7689BCPZRL7 compatible with?
AD7689BCPZRL7 features an SPI-compatible serial interface that operates with standard SPI, MICROWIRE, QSPI, and DSP controllers. It uses separate VIO (1.8–5.5 V) for logic-level compatibility, supports MSB-first data transfer, and allows read/write operations during or after conversion. No special protocol translation is needed - standard SPI firmware drivers work directly with AD7689BCPZRL7.
Is AD7689BCPZRL7 pin-compatible with other members of the AD768x family?
AD7689BCPZRL7 shares the same 20-lead LFCSP package and pinout with AD7682BCPZRL7 (4-channel variant), enabling layout reuse across designs with different channel counts. Pin functions for VDD, REF, REFIN, GND, CNV, DIN, SCK, SDO, VIO, COM, and IN0–IN3 are identical; IN4–IN7 are active on AD7689BCPZRL7 but NC on AD7682BCPZRL7. No PCB changes are required when upgrading from AD7682 to AD7689.
