Product details
Overview
AD7690BRMZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is an 18-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with true differential input, ±1.5 LSB INL, 400 kSPS throughput, and single 5 V supply operation. It features no pipeline delay, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, and operates across −40°C to +85°C in a 10-lead MSOP package. It is used in high-precision seismic data acquisition and portable instrumentation where low power and high linearity are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AD7690BRMZ-RL7 datasheet, AD7690BRMZ-RL7 pinout, AD7690BRMZ-RL7 application, or AD7690BRMZ-RL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with functional distinctions, and supply-chain support details specific to OEM and industrial embedded programs.
Technical Context
The AD7690BRMZ-RL7 implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with on-chip track-and-hold, enabling zero-latency conversion and full 18-bit accuracy without missing codes. Its differential input accepts ±VREF ranges up to ±5 V, with common-mode range centered at VREF/2 ± 0.1 V and 65 dB CMRR at 250 kHz.
It uses a proprietary SPI-compatible 3- or 4-wire interface with daisy-chain capability via SDI/SDO, supports 1.8 V to 5 V logic via separate VIO, and scales power linearly with throughput - consuming only 4.25 µW at 100 SPS and 20 mW at 400 kSPS. Standby current is 1 nA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and unambiguous code mapping across full scale. |
| Throughput | 400 kSPS maximum - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~195 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| INL | ±1.5 LSB max (±6 ppm of FSR) - ensures <±12 ppm total error budget when combined with reference drift. |
| Differential Input Range | ±VREF (up to ±5 V) - supports direct connection to precision op-amp drivers like ADA4941 without level-shifting. |
| Dynamic Range | 102 dB at 400 kSPS - allows detection of signals 105× smaller than full scale in high-speed mode. |
| Power @ 100 kSPS | 4.25 mW typical - enables battery-powered DVMs and portable medical instruments with >100-hour runtime. |
| Interface Logic | 1.8 V/2.5 V/3 V/5 V compatible via VIO - eliminates level-shifters when interfacing with modern low-voltage MCUs. |
Pinout & Package
AD7690BRMZ-RL7 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP package (3.0 mm × 4.9 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad recommended for grounding to improve thermal and noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF | Analog reference input | Accepts 0.5 V to VDD; must be decoupled with 10 µF ceramic capacitor; sets full-scale range for differential input. |
| 2 - VDD | Analog power supply | 4.75 V to 5.25 V; powers internal SAR core, track-and-hold, and reference buffer. |
| 3 - IN+ | Differential analog input (+) | Swings 0 V to VREF relative to IN−; requires matched layout and driver with ≥9 MHz bandwidth. |
| 4 - IN− | Differential analog input (−) | Swings 0 V to VREF relative to IN+; common-mode voltage fixed at VREF/2 ± 0.1 V. |
| 5 - GND | Analog ground | Single-point return for REF, IN+, IN−, and VDD; isolated from digital ground except at single star point. |
| 6 - CNV | Convert control input | Rising edge initiates sampling; selects CS vs. chain mode based on SDI state; enables busy indicator in CS mode. |
| 7 - SDO | Serial data output | 18-bit two's complement output synchronized to SCK falling edge; tri-state when CNV/SDI high in CS mode. |
| 8 - SCK | Serial clock input | Drives data shift-out; min period 15 ns (VIO > 4.5 V); supports daisy-chain timing alignment. |
| 9 - SDI | Serial data input / mode select | Low at CNV rising edge enables chain mode; high enables CS mode; also carries daisy-chain input data. |
| 10 - VIO | Digital I/O supply | 2.3 V to VDD; sets logic thresholds for all digital pins; decoupling required for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Enables deterministic timing in multiplexed multi-channel systems - conversion result available immediately after tCONV (≤2.1 µs). |
| Oversampled dynamic range: 125 dB @ 1 kSPS | Supports ultra-low-noise applications like seismic sensor arrays where 20-bit noise-free resolution is required. |
| True differential input with 65 dB CMRR @ 250 kHz | Rejects common-mode noise from motor drives or switching supplies without external instrumentation amplifiers. |
| 1 nA standby current | Permits micro-power wake-on-event architectures - e.g., battery-powered environmental monitors sleeping between acquisitions. |
| Pin-for-pin compatibility with AD7691/AD7982/AD7687 | Allows hardware reuse across 16–18-bit PulSAR family - simplifies design migration and BOM consolidation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7691BRMZ | Same 18-bit resolution and 400 kSPS, but includes internal reference (2.5 V) and higher INL (±2 LSB max); 10-lead LFCSP only. | Reduces BOM count in space-constrained designs but sacrifices external reference flexibility and worst-case linearity. | Select AD7691BRMZ if reference integration and LFCSP footprint are prioritized over ±1.5 LSB INL and MSOP compatibility. |
| AD7982BRMZ | 18-bit, 500 kSPS, ±1.5 LSB INL, but requires external reference and has higher power (25 mW @ 400 kSPS); pinout differs in REF/VIO placement. | Used in higher-speed data acquisition where 100 kSPS headroom is needed, but demands more PCB area and thermal management. | Select AD7982BRMZ only when throughput >400 kSPS is mandatory and layout allows rework for non-pin-compatible REF/VIO routing. |
Compared with AD7691BRMZ and AD7982BRMZ, the AD7690BRMZ-RL7 uniquely balances 18-bit linearity, 400 kSPS speed, ultra-low standby current (1 nA), and MSOP package - making it optimal for battery-critical, high-accuracy applications where external reference control and pin compatibility with legacy PulSAR designs are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7690BRMZ-RL7?
The AD7690BRMZ-RL7 supports a maximum throughput of 400 kSPS, with conversion time from CNV rising edge to valid data output specified at ≤2.1 µs. At this rate, the device achieves 102 dB dynamic range and maintains ±1.5 LSB integral nonlinearity. Lower throughput modes (e.g., 1 kSPS) improve performance to 125 dB oversampled dynamic range and 20-bit noise-free resolution.
Does the AD7690BRMZ-RL7 require an external voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7690BRMZ-RL7 requires an external reference applied to the REF pin. The reference voltage range is 0.5 V to VDD (up to 5.25 V), and it directly defines the full-scale differential input range (±VREF). No internal reference is provided - this enables system-level optimization using ultra-stable references like ADR4550 or LT6657.
Can the AD7690BRMZ-RL7 interface directly with a 1.8 V microcontroller?
Yes, the AD7690BRMZ-RL7 supports 1.8 V logic via its dedicated VIO supply pin. When VIO = 1.8 V, digital inputs (CNV, SDI, SCK) accept standard 1.8 V logic levels, and SDO outputs are compatible with 1.8 V receivers. Timing parameters adjust accordingly - e.g., minimum SCK period increases to 20 ns - ensuring robust communication without level shifters.
What package type is used for the AD7690BRMZ-RL7?
The AD7690BRMZ-RL7 is supplied in a 10-lead MSOP package (RMZ suffix), measuring 3.0 mm × 4.9 mm with 0.5 mm lead pitch. It features an exposed pad recommended for soldering to the PCB ground plane to enhance thermal dissipation and reduce ground impedance. This package is pin-compatible with other PulSAR ADCs including AD7691 and AD7687.
How does the AD7690BRMZ-RL7 handle power consumption at low throughput rates?
The AD7690BRMZ-RL7 scales power linearly with throughput: it consumes just 4.25 µW at 100 SPS, 4.25 mW at 100 kSPS, and 20 mW at 400 kSPS. In standby mode (all inputs static), current drops to 1 nA. This makes it ideal for duty-cycled applications such as battery-powered data loggers, where the ADC can sleep between acquisitions without sacrificing wake-up latency or accuracy.
