Product details
Overview
AD7715AR-3REEL from Analog Devices is a 16-bit sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter optimized for low-frequency, high-precision transducer interfacing. It features a programmable gain amplifier (gains 1/2/32/128), differential analog and reference inputs, and operates at 3 V with 450 µA max supply current. Used in strain gauge and RTD measurement front ends where resolution, noise rejection, and single-supply operation are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AD7715AR-3REEL datasheet, AD7715AR-3REEL pinout, AD7715AR-3REEL application, or AD7715AR-3REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-bit no-missing-codes performance, ±0.0015% integral nonlinearity, 50 Hz/60 Hz notch filter programmability, and three-wire SPI-compatible serial interface for microcontroller integration.
Technical Context
The AD7715AR-3REEL implements a charge-balancing sigma-delta architecture with on-chip digital filtering, enabling up to 16-bit no-missing-codes resolution. Its first digital filter notch is software-programmable to set output update rates and reject line-frequency interference at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
It integrates a buffered or unbuffered differential input stage, selectable via the BUF bit, and supports both unipolar (0 mV to 20 mV, 0 V to 1.25 V) and bipolar (±20 mV, ±1.25 V) input ranges referenced to AGND. The device uses a 1.25 V reference (REF IN(+) − REF IN(−)) and accepts master clock frequencies from 400 kHz to 2.4576 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7714AR-3 | 5-channel multiplexed input vs. single channel; identical 16-bit sigma-delta core, 3 V supply, and 450 µA current | Supports multi-sensor systems requiring sequential channel scanning; lacks dedicated DRDY pin per channel | Choose AD7714AR-3 when measuring multiple transducers with shared timing constraints and board space efficiency is prioritized |
| ADS1248IPWR | 24-bit resolution, integrated PGA (1–128), but higher 1.3 mA supply current and 5 V min supply requirement | Better resolution for ultra-high-precision lab equipment; not suitable for 3 V battery operation | Choose ADS1248IPWR when absolute accuracy >16 bits is mandatory and power budget allows >1 mA continuous draw |
Compared with AD7715AR-3REEL, AD7714AR-3 offers input multiplexing at identical power and resolution, while ADS1248IPWR trades higher current and voltage requirements for 24-bit resolution-making AD7715AR-3REEL optimal for cost-sensitive, single-channel, 3 V embedded systems demanding proven 16-bit stability.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended master clock frequency for AD7715AR-3REEL?
The AD7715AR-3REEL is production-tested at 2.4576 MHz and guaranteed by characterization to operate up to 2.5 MHz. For reliable performance with specified timing margins, Analog Devices recommends limiting fCLKIN to ≤2.4576 MHz. Operation below 400 kHz is also supported but reduces output data rate proportionally.
Does AD7715AR-3REEL support both unipolar and bipolar input configurations?
Yes, AD7715AR-3REEL supports both unipolar (e.g., 0 mV to 20 mV, 0 V to 1.25 V) and bipolar (e.g., ±20 mV, ±1.25 V) input ranges. Selection is controlled by the B/U bit in the setup register. Bipolar ranges are referenced to AIN(–), and the device maintains ±0.0015% integral nonlinearity in both modes.
How does the programmable digital filter notch affect AD7715AR-3REEL's output update rate?
The AD7715AR-3REEL's first digital filter notch determines its output update rate: selecting 20 Hz yields ~20 SPS, 25 Hz yields ~25 SPS, 50 Hz yields ~50 SPS, and 60 Hz yields ~60 SPS. Update rate scales inversely with notch frequency and is independent of PGA gain setting.
Can AD7715AR-3REEL operate with an external reference other than 1.25 V?
Yes, AD7715AR-3REEL functions with external references down to 1.0 V (±1% tolerance for specified performance). However, using the nominal 1.25 V reference ensures optimal full-scale range mapping, noise performance, and compliance with datasheet specifications including ±0.0015% INL and 16-bit no-missing-codes guarantee.
What is the purpose of the BUF bit in the AD7715AR-3REEL setup register?
The BUF bit enables or disables the internal analog input buffer. When BUF = 1, the buffer provides high input impedance (>1 GΩ) and allows common-mode voltage up to AVDD − 1.5 V, supporting direct connection to high-impedance sources like thermistors. When BUF = 0, input impedance drops to ~10 kΩ, reducing power consumption but requiring low-impedance driving sources.
