Product details
Overview
AD7715ARU-5 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) optimized for low-frequency precision measurement. It integrates a programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) with gains of 1, 2, 32, and 128; differential analog and reference inputs; and a three-wire SPI-compatible serial interface. Operating at 5 V AVDD with 450 µA total supply current, it delivers 16-bit no-missing-codes performance and ±0.0015% integral nonlinearity - ideal for high-accuracy sensor signal conditioning in industrial transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the AD7715ARU-5 datasheet, AD7715ARU-5 pinout, AD7715ARU-5 application, or AD7715ARU-5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5 V operation mode, differential input capability, programmable digital filter notch (20 Hz to 60 Hz), on-chip self/system calibration, and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with isolated microcontroller interfaces.
Technical Context
The AD7715ARU-5 employs a charge-balancing sigma-delta modulator with on-chip digital filtering, where the first notch frequency is software-programmable to set output update rate and 50/60 Hz rejection. Its PGA front end enables direct connection to low-level transducers such as strain gauges without external amplification.
It supports unipolar (0 mV to 2.5 V) and bipolar (±2.5 V) input ranges referenced to AGND, with 98 dB normal-mode and 150 dB common-mode 50/60 Hz rejection when configured with appropriate filter notches. The device features dual power domains (AVDD/DVDD), buffer enable control, and system-level calibration sequences that eliminate zero-scale and full-scale errors.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7714ARU-5 | 16-bit, 4-channel multiplexed input vs. AD7715ARU-5's single channel; identical PGA, filter, and interface architecture. | Requires channel sequencing and timing management; less suitable for dedicated single-sensor systems. | Choose AD7714ARU-5 only when multi-sensor scanning is required; AD7715ARU-5 offers simpler register map and lower software overhead for single-input use. |
| ADS1220IPWR | 24-bit resolution, integrated PGA (1–128), but fixed 50/60 Hz rejection and no programmable notch; higher current (350 µA typical). | Lacks flexible digital filter configuration - cannot adjust update rate independently of rejection profile. | Prefer ADS1220IPWR for ultra-high-resolution applications where notch flexibility is secondary; AD7715ARU-5 remains superior for adaptive line-frequency rejection in variable-speed motor controls. |
Compared with AD7714ARU-5 and ADS1220IPWR, the AD7715ARU-5 provides optimal balance of single-channel simplicity, programmable filter notch, and proven 16-bit metrology-grade performance in 5 V industrial systems - making it the preferred choice for fixed-function, high-stability sensor interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended master clock frequency for AD7715ARU-5?
The AD7715ARU-5 is production-tested at 2.4576 MHz and guaranteed by characterization to operate up to 2.5 MHz. Operation above this frequency may compromise timing margins and conversion accuracy. For optimal 50/60 Hz rejection and noise performance, Analog Devices recommends using either 1 MHz or 2.4576 MHz - the latter enabling faster output update rates in high-gain configurations.
Does AD7715ARU-5 support both unipolar and bipolar input ranges?
Yes, AD7715ARU-5 supports both unipolar (0 mV to 2.5 V) and bipolar (±2.5 V) input ranges. The mode is selected via the B/U bit in the setup register. In bipolar mode, the negative input AIN(−) serves as the zero-reference point, enabling true differential measurement with symmetric full-scale swing around ground.
How does the programmable digital filter notch affect AD7715ARU-5 output update rate?
The AD7715ARU-5's first digital filter notch frequency directly determines output update rate: at 60 Hz notch, update rate is ~16.7 Hz; at 50 Hz, ~20 Hz; at 25 Hz, ~40 Hz. This relationship is fixed per notch setting and independent of PGA gain - unlike sampling rate, which varies with gain (e.g., fCLK/8 for G=32/128). The notch setting thus trades rejection depth for throughput.
Can AD7715ARU-5 operate with a 2.5 V reference while powered from 5 V AVDD?
Yes, AD7715ARU-5 is explicitly specified for 2.5 V reference input (REF IN(+) − REF IN(−)) under 5 V AVDD operation. Table 1 confirms REF IN(+) = 2.5 V nominal with ±1% tolerance for full performance. The device maintains 16-bit no-missing-codes and ±0.0015% INL under these conditions, making it suitable for systems using precision bandgap references.
What is the purpose of the BUF bit in the AD7715ARU-5 setup register?
The BUF bit enables or disables the input buffer amplifier in AD7715ARU-5. When BUF = 1, the buffer isolates the PGA input from source impedance, allowing accurate measurement with high-Z sensors (e.g., thermocouples); when BUF = 0, input impedance drops to ~10 kΩ, increasing power efficiency but limiting usable source resistance to <1 kΩ. Buffering also extends common-mode input range to AGND + 0.05 V to AVDD − 1.5 V.
