Product details
Overview
AD7708BRZ from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 8-/10-channel Σ-Δ analog-to-digital converter optimized for low-frequency industrial measurement. It integrates a programmable gain amplifier (gain 1–128), on-chip 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator with PLL, rail-to-rail input buffers, and a 2-bit digital I/O port. It operates from single 3 V or 5 V supplies and supports simultaneous 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection - ideal for pressure transducer signal acquisition in smart transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the AD7708BRZ datasheet, AD7708BRZ pinout, AD7708BRZ application, or AD7708BRZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-bit no-missing-codes resolution, CHOP mode vs. non-CHOP trade-off (13–16 bits p-p at 5.4–1.365 kHz), VREF Select™ for ratiometric/absolute measurement, and pin compatibility with the 24-bit AD7718 for scalable system design.
Technical Context
The AD7708BRZ implements a sigma-delta modulation architecture with a 3rd-order modulator and programmable digital filter. Its analog front-end includes a fully differential PGA and configurable input multiplexer supporting up to 10 pseudo-differential or 5 fully differential channels, with two pins (REFIN2+/AIN9 and REFIN2−/AIN10) dual-function as reference inputs or analog inputs.
It features dual power domains (AVDD/DVDD), Schmitt-triggered SCLK for noise immunity, and three operating modes: normal conversion, power-down (30 µA with oscillator running), and standby (2 µA with oscillator off). Calibration is supported via self-calibration and system calibration registers, with offset error reduced to ±0.65 LSB after self-calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit no-missing-codes; 13–16 bits peak-to-peak depending on gain and output data rate (e.g., 16 bits p-p at ±2.56 V range, 20 Hz update) |
| Input Channels | 8 pseudo-differential or 10 pseudo-differential inputs (AIN1–AIN10 + AINCOM); configurable as 4/5 fully differential pairs |

| RESET | Asynchronous Reset | Active-low reset; minimum pulse width 50 ns; initiates power-on reset sequence and register initialization |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-calibrated architecture | Eliminates need for user calibration in most applications; INL ±15 ppm FSR, offset error ±0.65 LSB after self-calibration |
| CHOP mode (CHOP = 0) | Enables ultra-low drift performance: offset drift ±10 nV/°C, 100 dB CMR @ DC and 50/60 Hz, ideal for high-precision DC measurements |
| VREF Select™ technology | Allows dynamic switching between ratiometric (e.g., bridge sensors) and absolute (e.g., thermocouple) measurement modes using same hardware |
| Rail-to-rail input buffer | Supports analog inputs from AGND +100 mV to AVDD −100 mV (NEGBUF = 1), enabling direct connection to low-output sensors |

Applications
| Pressure Transducer Interface | Smart Industrial Transmitter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Digitizing millivolt-level outputs from strain-gauge-based pressure sensors in hazardous-area field devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ADC front-end with integrated PGA and 50/60 Hz rejection; performs synchronized sampling and digital filtering before HART or RS-485 transmission. Use Value: Eliminates external instrumentation amplifier and line-frequency notch filters; reduces BOM count and PCB area while maintaining 16-bit accuracy under AC mains interference. | Use Scenario: Multi-sensor data acquisition in programmable logic controller (PLC) analog input modules with local signal conditioning.

Use Value: Enables channel throughput up to 1.365 kHz (non-CHOP) or 105 Hz (CHOP) with consistent 16-bit resolution - sufficient for <100 Hz control loop sampling. |
| Portable Instrumentation | Combined Ratiometric/Absolute System |
Use Scenario: Battery-powered handheld multimeter acquiring DC voltage, current, and resistance with auto-ranging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power ADC with 3 V operation, 30 µA power-down mode, and internal oscillator - removes need for external clock source or power management IC. Use Value: Extends battery life beyond 100 hours; supports precision measurement down to 20 mV full-scale without external gain stages. | Use Scenario: Single-board system measuring both 4–20 mA loop current (ratiometric) and auxiliary thermistor voltage (absolute) simultaneously. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-reference-capable ADC using REFIN1 for loop-powered sensor and REFIN2 for thermistor; VREF Select™ enables software-switched reference paths. Use Value: Reduces component count by consolidating two independent measurement chains into one IC; avoids reference crosstalk and layout complexity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7718BRZ | 24-bit resolution, identical pinout and register map; higher noise performance (13–18 bits p-p), lower offset drift (±10 nV/°C CHOP) | Required for sub-ppm precision metrology; not suitable where 16-bit resolution suffices and cost/power are constrained | Select AD7718BRZ only when 24-bit resolution and enhanced 50/60 Hz rejection (110 dB typ) are mandatory for the target accuracy class. |
| ADS124S08IPWR | 24-bit, 4-channel, integrated PGA and reference; SPI interface; lower power (0.38 mA typ @ 3 V), but no dual-reference or VREF Select™ | Lacks dual-reference flexibility and 8+ channel count; better suited for compact, low-channel-count sensor nodes | Choose ADS124S08IPWR for space-constrained designs needing integrated reference and lower quiescent current, but accept loss of ratiometric/absolute dual-mode capability. |
Compared with AD7718BRZ, the AD7708BRZ trades resolution and drift performance for lower cost and power; compared with ADS124S08IPWR, it offers superior channel density and reference flexibility at the expense of higher active current and absence of integrated reference.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate of the AD7708BRZ in non-CHOP mode?
The AD7708BRZ achieves a maximum output update rate of 1.365 kHz in non-CHOP (CHOP = 1) mode. This rate is achieved with minimal digital filter settling and is suitable for applications requiring higher channel throughput, such as multi-sensor polling in PLC analog input modules. At this rate, peak-to-peak resolution is 16 bits for a ±2.56 V input range with appropriate gain setting. The AD7708BRZ maintains no missing codes across its full 16-bit range regardless of update rate.
Does the AD7708BRZ support both ratiometric and absolute measurements?
Yes, the AD7708BRZ supports both ratiometric and absolute measurements via its VREF Select™ feature. It provides two independent reference inputs (REFIN1 and REFIN2), each configurable for separate sensor channels. When used with a bridge sensor, REFIN1 can be tied to the excitation voltage for ratiometric operation; REFIN2 can connect to a precision 2.5 V reference for absolute thermistor or voltage measurements. This dual-reference capability is implemented in hardware and requires no external components - a core differentiator of the AD7708BRZ.
What is the power consumption of the AD7708BRZ in power-down mode?
In power-down mode with the 32.768 kHz oscillator still running, the AD7708BRZ consumes a maximum of 30 µA at DVDD = 5 V and 10 µA at DVDD = 3 V. If the oscillator is powered down, consumption drops further to 8 µA (5 V) or 2 µA (3 V). These values reflect total device current (DIDD + AIDD). The fast wake-up time of 1 ms from power-down enables efficient duty-cycled operation in battery-powered instrumentation without sacrificing measurement readiness.
How many analog input channels does the AD7708BRZ support, and how are they configured?
The AD7708BRZ supports up to 10 analog input terminals: AIN1 through AIN10 plus AINCOM. These can be configured as 8 pseudo-differential channels (e.g., AIN1–AINCOM, AIN2–AINCOM, ..., AIN8–AINCOM) or 5 fully differential channels (e.g., AIN1–AIN2, AIN3–AIN4, ..., AIN9–AIN10). Pins AIN9 and AIN10 are dual-function: they serve as REFIN2(+) and REFIN2(−) by default but can be reconfigured as analog inputs via the ADC Control Register. This flexibility allows adaptation to diverse sensor topologies without board redesign.
Is the AD7708BRZ pin-compatible with any other Analog Devices ADCs?
Yes, the AD7708BRZ is pin-for-pin compatible with the AD7718BRZ - a 24-bit version in the same family. Both share identical pinout, register map, serial interface protocol, and package options (28-lead SOIC and TSSOP). This compatibility enables seamless hardware upgrade paths: a system designed for the AD7708BRZ can migrate to the AD7718BRZ for higher resolution without PCB layout changes, provided firmware accommodates extended data words and updated noise performance characteristics.
