Product details
Overview
AD7691BRMZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is an 18-bit, charge redistribution successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with true differential input, ±1.5 LSB INL max, 250 kSPS throughput, and single-supply operation from 2.3 V to 5.25 V. It delivers 102 dB typical dynamic range at full speed and supports battery-powered instrumentation requiring high resolution without missing codes.
For engineers reviewing the AD7691BRMZ-RL7 datasheet, AD7691BRMZ-RL7 pinout, AD7691BRMZ-RL7 application, or AD7691BRMZ-RL7 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping to MSOP-10 and LFCSP-10, real-world timing behavior, interface compatibility with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE, and validated alternative options for precision data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The AD7691BRMZ-RL7 implements a track-and-hold SAR architecture with no pipeline delay, enabling immediate conversion result availability after CNV rising edge. Its proprietary serial interface supports both CS mode (3- or 4-wire) and daisy-chain mode, with optional busy indicator and 1.8 V–5 V logic compatibility via dedicated VIO supply.
It accepts true differential analog inputs spanning ±VREF with common-mode range centered at VREF/2, and features internal conversion clocking, low leakage (<1 nA), and 2 MHz −3 dB input bandwidth. Power scales linearly with throughput: 1.35 mW at 2.5 V/100 kSPS, 10.6 mW at 5 V/250 kSPS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and unambiguous digital representation across full scale. |
| Throughput | 250 kSPS maximum at VDD ≥ 4.5 V - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~100 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| INL | ±1.5 LSB maximum - ensures absolute accuracy ≤ ±6 ppm of FSR, critical for calibration-sensitive instrumentation. |
| Differential Input Range | ±VREF with VREF up to VDD - supports flexible reference selection (e.g., 2.5 V or 5 V) and rail-to-rail analog signal swing. |
| Power Dissipation | 1.35 mW at 2.5 V/100 kSPS - enables ultra-low-power operation in portable seismic or medical devices. |
| Interface Compatibility | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP - allows direct connection to FPGA, MCU, or DSP without level-shifting or protocol translation. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and field-deployed data acquisition environments. |
Pinout & Package
The AD7691BRMZ-RL7 is available in two 10-lead packages: 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP (pin-compatible with SOT-23 footprint) and narrow-body MSOP-10. Both packages feature exposed thermal pad recommended for soldering to ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF | Analog reference input | Accepts external reference from 0.5 V to VDD; requires local 10 µF decoupling for stable conversion accuracy. |
| VDD | Analog power supply | 2.3 V–5.25 V single supply; powers core ADC and internal track-and-hold circuitry. |
| IN+, IN− | Differential analog inputs | True differential pair with 180° phase relationship; common-mode range = VREF/2 ± 0.1 V. |
| GND | Power ground | Reference node for analog and digital sections; must be low-impedance and separated from noisy digital return paths. |
| CNV | Convert control input | Rising edge initiates sampling; also selects interface mode (CS vs. chain) based on SDI state at edge. |
| SDO | Serial data output | 18-bit twos-complement output synchronized to SCK; tri-state when not selected in CS mode. |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Drives data shift-out; minimum period 15 ns (VIO > 4.5 V) - supports high-speed host interfacing. |
| SDI | Serial data input / mode select | Configures interface mode on CNV edge; in chain mode, relays upstream ADC data with 18-cycle delay. |
| VIO | Digital I/O supply | Independent 1.8 V–5 V supply for logic interface - enables mixed-voltage system integration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Conversion result available immediately post-CNV rising edge - eliminates latency in closed-loop control or multiplexed channel sequencing. |
| Oversampled dynamic range | 125 dB at 1 kSPS - enables high-resolution DC or low-frequency measurements (e.g., strain gauge, thermocouple) with minimal filtering. |
| Low standby current | 1 nA typical - preserves battery life during idle periods in portable data loggers and handheld instruments. |
| Daisy-chain capability | Supports multiple AD7691BRMZ-RL7 units on single 3-wire bus - reduces PCB routing complexity and host GPIO count in multi-channel systems. |
| Flexible reference coupling | VREF can equal VDD (up to 5.25 V) - simplifies supply architecture by eliminating separate reference IC in many applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7690BRMZ-RL7 | Pin-for-pin compatible 18-bit SAR ADC; identical package and interface, but rated for 100 kSPS max throughput. | Lower throughput limits suitability to DC/low-frequency applications only (e.g., precision weight scales), not 250 kSPS seismic capture. | Select when full 250 kSPS is unnecessary and lower power at reduced speed is prioritized. |
| AD7687BRMZ-RL7 | 16-bit SAR ADC in same 10-lead MSOP/LFCSP; shares pinout and interface, but offers ±1.5 LSB INL at 16-bit resolution. | Lacks 18-bit resolution and 102 dB dynamic range - insufficient for applications demanding <1 ppm linearity or >100 dB SNR. | Choose for cost-sensitive, medium-accuracy systems where 16-bit resolution meets specification and BOM reuse is valuable. |
Compared with AD7690BRMZ-RL7 and AD7687BRMZ-RL7, the AD7691BRMZ-RL7 uniquely delivers 18-bit resolution at 250 kSPS in a drop-in-compatible 10-lead package - making it the only option among the three that satisfies simultaneous requirements for high speed, high resolution, and industrial temperature range without layout change.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate of the AD7691BRMZ-RL7?
The AD7691BRMZ-RL7 achieves a maximum throughput of 250 kSPS when operated with VDD ≥ 4.5 V. At lower supply voltages (2.3 V to 4.5 V), the maximum rate drops to 180 kSPS. This is specified in Table 2 of the Rev. E datasheet and confirmed by timing parameters tCYC = 4 µs (min) under high-VDD conditions. The AD7691BRMZ-RL7 maintains full 18-bit performance across its entire speed range.
Does the AD7691BRMZ-RL7 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7691BRMZ-RL7 requires an external reference applied to the REF pin, which sets the full-scale input range. REF may be set from 0.5 V up to VDD (max 5.25 V), and the device draws only 60 µA load current at 250 kSPS. While REF can equal VDD to simplify design, using a precision external reference (e.g., ADR45xx series) is recommended for applications demanding <±1.5 LSB INL stability over temperature and time.
Is the AD7691BRMZ-RL7 pin-compatible with other PulSAR ADCs?
Yes, the AD7691BRMZ-RL7 is pin-for-pin compatible with the AD7690 (18-bit, 100 kSPS) and AD7693 (16-bit, 250 kSPS), as well as the AD7687 and AD7688 (16-bit). This allows direct substitution in existing layouts when upgrading resolution or speed - provided the host firmware accommodates the increased 18-bit word length and updated timing constraints of the AD7691BRMZ-RL7.
What digital interface modes does the AD7691BRMZ-RL7 support?
The AD7691BRMZ-RL7 supports two primary interface modes: CS mode (3- or 4-wire SPI-compatible) and Chain mode (daisy-chain). Mode selection occurs on the CNV rising edge based on SDI logic level. Both modes support 1.8 V–5 V logic via VIO, and Chain mode enables cascading of multiple AD7691BRMZ-RL7 units on a single SDO line with 18-cycle inter-ADC delay - verified in Figures 22–23 and Table 4 of the datasheet.
How does power consumption scale with throughput for the AD7691BRMZ-RL7?
Power dissipation in the AD7691BRMZ-RL7 scales linearly with throughput: 1.35 mW at 2.5 V/100 kSPS, 2.4 mW at 2.5 V/180 kSPS, and 10.6 mW at 5 V/250 kSPS. At ultra-low rates (100 SPS), it consumes just 1.4 µW. This scalability is intrinsic to its SAR architecture and is documented in Table 3 of the Rev. E datasheet - enabling precise energy budgeting in battery-powered AD7691BRMZ-RL7 systems.
