Product details
Overview
AD7715ANZ-3 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter optimized for low-frequency, high-accuracy sensor signal acquisition. It integrates a programmable-gain amplifier (gains 1/2/32/128), differential input and reference inputs, on-chip digital filtering, and a three-wire SPI-compatible serial interface. Operating at 3 V with ≤450 µA total supply current, it delivers 16-bit no-missing-codes performance and ±0.0015% integral nonlinearity for precision pressure and temperature measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7715ANZ-3 datasheet, AD7715ANZ-3 pinout, AD7715ANZ-3 application, or AD7715ANZ-3 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3 V operation, differential input capability, programmable filter notch (20 Hz to 60 Hz), unipolar/bipolar input range support (±20 mV to ±2.5 V), and self-calibration functionality for offset/gain drift compensation in industrial transmitters.
Technical Context
The AD7715ANZ-3 employs a charge-balancing sigma-delta modulator with an on-chip digital filter whose first notch frequency is software-programmable via register control - enabling precise rejection of 50 Hz or 60 Hz line interference. Its analog front end includes a fully differential PGA and optional input buffer, allowing direct connection to low-level transducer outputs without external amplification.
It supports both unipolar (0 mV to 20 mV, 0 V to 2.5 V) and bipolar (±20 mV, ±2.5 V) input ranges referenced to AGND, with common-mode rejection >90 dB at DC and >150 dB at 50/60 Hz when configured with appropriate filter notches. The device uses separate analog (AVDD) and digital (DVDD) 3 V supplies and features system calibration modes that eliminate zero-scale and full-scale errors in-situ.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD7715ANZ-3 is housed in a 16-lead plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP), 0.3 inch wide, with lead finish compatible with standard SnPb and RoHS-compliant reflow processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SCLK) | Serial clock input | Controls timing of data transfer on DIN/DOUT; supports SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP protocols. |
| 2 (MCLK IN) | Master clock input | Accepts 400 kHz–2.4576 MHz crystal or CMOS clock; drives internal sigma-delta modulator and filter. |
| 3 (MCLK OUT) | Master clock output | Drives external crystal/resonator when used in oscillator mode; left open if external clock applied to MCLK IN. |
| 4 (CS) | Chip select | Active-low enable for serial interface; allows multiple devices on shared SCLK/DIN/DOUT bus. |
| 5 (REF IN(+)) | Positive reference input | Accepts 1.25 V reference for 3 V operation; defines full-scale range with REF IN(−). |
| 6 (AGND) | Analog ground | Return path for analog circuitry; must be separated from DGND to minimize noise coupling. |

| 11 (AIN(–)) | Differential analog input (–) | Completes differential pair; sets common-mode reference point for bipolar/unipolar ranges. |
| 12 (REF IN(–)) | Negative reference input | Connected to AGND for standard operation; establishes reference midpoint for 1.25 V reference. |
| 13 (DGND) | Digital ground | Return path for digital I/O and logic; connected to AGND at single point near AVDD/DVDD decoupling. |
| 14 (DVDD) | Digital supply | +3 V supply for serial interface and digital logic; independent from AVDD for noise isolation. |
| 15 (DIN) | Serial data input | Writes configuration data (setup, communications, test registers) during write cycles. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7714BN | 16-bit, 5 V only, higher supply current (600 µA), fixed 2.5 V reference, no 3 V option | Suitable for legacy 5 V systems; lacks 3 V compatibility and lower power profile of AD7715ANZ-3 | Select AD7715ANZ-3 for new 3 V designs requiring lower power and flexible reference voltage. |
| ADS124S08IPW | 24-bit, integrated PGA, 3 V operation, SPI interface, but requires external reference and lacks on-chip system calibration | Better resolution for ultra-high-precision applications; higher BOM cost and design complexity due to external reference and calibration firmware | Choose AD7715ANZ-3 when 16-bit resolution suffices and on-chip calibration simplifies firmware development and field maintenance. |
Compared with AD7714BN, AD7715ANZ-3 enables lower-power 3 V operation and built-in 1.25 V reference scaling; compared with ADS124S08IPW, it trades resolution for integrated calibration and simpler system-level validation in industrial transmitters.

FAQ
What is the maximum master clock frequency supported by the AD7715ANZ-3?
The AD7715ANZ-3 is specified for master clock frequencies from 400 kHz to 2.4576 MHz. It is production-tested at 2.4576 MHz and guaranteed by characterization down to 400 kHz. Operation outside this range may compromise conversion accuracy, noise performance, or calibration stability. For optimal 16-bit no-missing-codes behavior, use 1 MHz or 2.4576 MHz as recommended in the datasheet.
Does the AD7715ANZ-3 support both unipolar and bipolar input configurations?
Yes, the AD7715ANZ-3 supports both unipolar (0 mV to 20 mV, 0 V to 2.5 V) and bipolar (±20 mV, ±2.5 V) input ranges. Configuration is controlled via the B/U bit in the setup register. Bipolar ranges are referenced to AIN(–), enabling true differential measurement of AC-coupled or centered sensor outputs without external level-shifting circuitry.
How does the AD7715ANZ-3 handle power supply rejection at 50 Hz and 60 Hz?
The AD7715ANZ-3 achieves >120 dB power supply rejection at 50 Hz and 60 Hz when configured with appropriate digital filter notches (e.g., 25 Hz or 50 Hz for 50 Hz rejection). This performance is enabled by its sigma-delta architecture and programmable notch filter, eliminating the need for external RC filters or dedicated PSRR-enhancing components in noisy plant-floor environments.
Can the AD7715ANZ-3 operate with an external reference voltage other than 1.25 V?
No - the AD7715ANZ-3 is characterized and specified for 1.25 V reference input (REF IN(+) − REF IN(−)) under 3 V supply conditions. Using a different reference voltage violates the datasheet's operating conditions and may degrade INL, noise, or gain accuracy. For 2.5 V reference operation, the AD7715-5 variant must be selected instead.
What is the purpose of the buffer (BUF) bit in the AD7715ANZ-3 setup register?
The BUF bit enables or disables the internal analog input buffer. When set, the buffer provides high input impedance (>1 GΩ) and isolates the modulator from source impedance variations, improving accuracy with high-Z sensors like thermocouples. When cleared, the device draws only 1 nA input bias current but requires source impedance <2 kΩ to maintain specified INL and drift performance.
