Product details
Overview
AD7721ARZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a 16-bit sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 468.75 kHz output word rate, 229.2 kHz input bandwidth, and integrated dual-stage FIR digital filtering. It operates from a single +5 V supply, accepts differential analog inputs (0 V to 2.5 V or ±1.25 V), and features on-chip offset/gain calibration for <±4.88 mV full-scale error. It is used in high-precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring low-latency, high-resolution digitization of sensor signals.
For engineers reviewing the AD7721ARZ-REEL datasheet, AD7721ARZ-REEL pinout, AD7721ARZ-REEL application, or AD7721ARZ-REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-mode serial/parallel interface, 100 µW standby power, guaranteed no-missing-codes performance, and support for unipolar/bipolar input ranges with internal calibration - all in a 28-lead SOIC package.
Technical Context
The AD7721ARZ-REEL employs a single-bit sigma-delta modulator followed by two cascaded finite impulse response (FIR) filters, enabling high linearity and eliminating external antialiasing complexity beyond first-order RC networks. Its modulator samples at twice the master clock frequency (up to 30 MHz), and group delay is fixed at 48.53 µs at 15 MHz CLK.
It supports two distinct operating modes: serial mode (16-bit, 468.75 kHz OWR, 15 MHz max CLK) and parallel mode (12-bit, 312.5 kHz OWR, 10 MHz max CLK). Mode selection is hardware-configured via CS/RD/WR pin states at power-up, and control functions like UNI, CAL, and STBY are implemented as dedicated pins in serial mode or register bits in parallel mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit (serial mode); 12-bit (parallel mode) - defines quantization step size: 38 µV LSB (serial), 0.61 mV LSB (parallel) |
| Output Word Rate | 468.75 kHz (serial mode @ 15 MHz CLK) - determines maximum sampling throughput for real-time signal capture |
| Input Bandwidth | 229.2 kHz - usable analog signal spectrum before –3 dB roll-off; enables digitization of ultrasonic or fast transducer outputs |
| Dynamic Performance | 74 dB SNR (serial mode), –78 dB THD - meets precision requirements for vibration monitoring and power quality analysis |
| Power Consumption | 150 mW active, 100 µW standby - supports battery-backed or thermally constrained embedded systems |
| Analog Input Range | Differential: 0 V to 2.5 V (unipolar) or ±1.25 V (bipolar) - matches standard industrial sensor outputs without external level-shifting |
| Reference Input | 2.4 V to 2.6 V external reference (e.g., AD780) - ensures stable scaling independent of supply rail variations |
Pinout & Package
AD7721ARZ-REEL is housed in a 28-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with 300 mil body width, RoHS-compliant lead finish, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3. Pin 1 is marked with a dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise convention from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLK | Master Clock Input | CMOS-compatible input driving modulator sampling at 2× fCLK; sets OWR, filter cutoff, and settling time |
| VIN1 / VIN2 | Differential Analog Inputs | High-impedance inputs (20.8 kΩ typ @ 15 MHz) accepting 0–2.5 V or ±1.25 V; enable common-mode noise rejection |
| REFIN | External Reference Input | 2.4–2.6 V reference connection requiring 100 nF decoupling to AGND; defines full-scale range accuracy |
| DRDY | Data Ready Indicator | Rising edge (serial) or falling edge (parallel) signals valid output data availability; synchronizes host read timing |
| SCLK/DB7 | Serial Clock Output | Internally generated clock output (master mode); eliminates need for external SCLK generation in serial interface |
| SDATA/DB11 | Serial Data Output | 16-bit MSB-first serial output; data valid on falling edge of SCLK - simplifies FPGA/microcontroller interface design |
| STBY/DB0 | Standby Mode Control | Logic-high assertion disables modulator/filter clocks and analog bias, reducing power to 100 µW |
| UNI/DB2 | Input Range Select | Logic-low = unipolar (0–2.5 V); logic-high = bipolar (±1.25 V); configures transfer function and output coding format |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No missing codes | Guaranteed over full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), ensuring monotonicity critical for closed-loop control feedback |
| On-chip calibration | Offset and gain correction performed internally via CAL pin or register bit; reduces system-level calibration effort and drift-induced errors |
| Integrated dual FIR filter | Reduces external antialiasing to simple first-order RC network - lowers BOM cost and board space vs. traditional ADCs |
| Low-power standby mode | 100 µW consumption with full retention of configuration; enables duty-cycled sensing in energy-constrained IoT nodes |
| Flexible interface options | Hardware-selectable serial (16-bit, master clock out) or parallel (12-bit, microcontroller-friendly) - supports diverse host architectures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7738BRUZ | 24-bit resolution, 125 kHz OWR, SPI interface only, no parallel mode; requires external clock | Better resolution but lower speed; suited for static weight measurement, not dynamic signal capture | Select when ultra-high dc accuracy outweighs speed; avoid if 468.75 kHz OWR or parallel interface is required. |
| ADS127L01IPBSR | 24-bit, 512 kSPS, SPI-only, integrated PGA, lower power (38 mW), no on-chip calibration | Higher integration (PGA), lower power, but lacks hardware-calibration pin and dual-mode interface | Prefer for battery-powered sensors needing programmable gain; AD7721ARZ-REEL remains optimal for calibrated, interface-flexible industrial DAQ. |
Compared with AD7738BRUZ and ADS127L01IPBSR, the AD7721ARZ-REEL uniquely balances 16-bit speed (468.75 kHz), hardware-calibration simplicity, and dual serial/parallel configurability - making it the only choice for legacy microcontroller-based systems requiring pin-level calibration control and high-throughput analog capture.

FAQ
What is the maximum master clock frequency supported by AD7721ARZ-REEL in serial mode?
The AD7721ARZ-REEL supports a maximum master clock frequency of 15 MHz in serial mode, which yields its rated 468.75 kHz output word rate and 229.2 kHz input bandwidth. Operation above 15 MHz is not characterized or guaranteed; exceeding this limit may cause timing violations or undefined behavior in the modulator or digital filter stages.
Does AD7721ARZ-REEL require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7721ARZ-REEL requires an external reference voltage applied to the REFIN pin, specified between 2.4 V and 2.6 V. A precision reference such as the AD780 is recommended. The device does not include an internal reference, and operation outside the 2.4–2.6 V range may degrade full-scale accuracy and increase gain error beyond ±4.88 mV.
How does the AD7721ARZ-REEL handle input overrange conditions?
The AD7721ARZ-REEL uses the DVAL pin to indicate overrange events: small overloads clip output to full scale and assert DVAL low; large overloads causing modulator instability trigger an automatic reset and hold DVAL low for 2080 clock cycles while output registers are set to negative full scale. DRDY continues asserting valid data during DVAL assertion.
Can AD7721ARZ-REEL operate in both unipolar and bipolar input modes?
Yes, the AD7721ARZ-REEL supports both unipolar (0 V to 2.5 V differential) and bipolar (±1.25 V differential) input ranges, selected via the UNI/DB2 pin: logic low enables unipolar mode with straight-binary output coding; logic high enables bipolar mode with 2's complement output coding. Calibration and linearity specs apply to both modes.
What is the purpose of the DSUBST pin on AD7721ARZ-REEL?
The DSUBST pin on AD7721ARZ-REEL is the substrate connection for the digital circuitry and must be tied directly to AGND (Pin 24) via a short, low-inductance path. This connection prevents latch-up and ensures stable digital logic operation by minimizing substrate potential shifts that could affect analog performance or cause ESD-related failures.
