Product details
Overview
AD7776AR from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, 380.95 kSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with single-channel input, on-chip reference buffer, and parallel microprocessor interface. It delivers ±1 LSB relative accuracy, –56 dB S/(N+D), and operates from a +5 V supply across –40°C to +85°C for real-time DSP acquisition in voice recognition and sensor digitization systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7776AR datasheet, AD7776AR pinout, AD7776AR application, or AD7776AR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-pin SOIC package, 10-bit resolution with guaranteed no missing codes, BUSY/INT dual-mode flag, REFIN/REFOUT reference architecture, and compatibility with TMS320 and ADSP-210x processors.
Technical Context
The AD7776AR implements a track-and-hold front-end supporting up to 189 kHz input sine wave bandwidth at full throughput, with acquisition time of 4.5–5.5 tCLKIN and conversion time of 14 tCLKIN. Its control register is 10-bit wide and write-only, with CR8 enabling power-down mode (1.5 mA ICC) and CR9 selecting BUSY or INT behavior.
It uses a pseudo-ground input structure where VBIAS = REFIN and VSWING = REFIN/2, yielding a nominal 1 V to 3 V input range when REFIN = 2.0 V. The device features two independent ADC registers (ADCREG1 only active for AD7776AR), and supports both single-conversion and simultaneous-sampling modes - though CR6 is "don't care" for this single-channel variant.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Resolution | 10 bits - defines 1024 discrete output codes; 1 LSB = 1.95 mV for VSWING = 1.0 V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution, SPI interface, 200 kSPS max, no internal reference buffer | Lacks REFOUT and REFIN support; requires external reference and level-shifting for 5 V systems | Choose ADS7822U only if lower resolution and serial interface are acceptable and board space is constrained |
| MAX1113ECM+ | 10-bit, 250 kSPS, SPI interface, internal 2.048 V reference, 16-pin QSOP | No parallel bus; lower throughput; fixed internal reference limits input range flexibility | Select MAX1113ECM+ when migrating from parallel to SPI-based designs and reference flexibility is secondary to footprint reduction |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1113ECM+, the AD7776AR uniquely combines 10-bit accuracy, 380.95 kSPS parallel throughput, and integrated REFIN/REFOUT architecture - making it optimal for legacy microprocessor-based systems requiring minimal external components and deterministic timing.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7776AR?
The AD7776AR supports a maximum sampling rate of 380.95 kSPS when driven by an 8 MHz CLKIN. This corresponds to a conversion time of 14 tCLKIN cycles and enables accurate digitization of signals up to 189 kHz (Nyquist frequency). The device maintains this rate across its full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, and the timing is validated per the official Analog Devices timing specifications table.
Does the AD7776AR require an external reference voltage?
The AD7776AR does not require an external reference voltage but supports it via the REFIN pin (1.9 V to 2.1 V). It also provides an internal 2.0 V nominal REFOUT, which can serve as the reference source. When REFOUT is used, REFIN is left unconnected or tied to REFOUT, and the input range becomes VBIAS ± VSWING = 2.0 V ± 1.0 V. This eliminates need for external reference ICs in many applications.
How is the BUSY/INT pin configured on the AD7776AR?
The BUSY/INT pin on the AD7776AR is configured via control register bit CR9: when CR9 = 0, the pin functions as an active-low BUSY signal that remains low during conversion; when CR9 = 1, it acts as an active-low INT signal that goes low after conversion completes and is reset by the falling edge of WR or RD. This dual-mode capability is confirmed in the AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 datasheet Pin Function Description section.
What package type is used for the AD7776AR?
The AD7776AR is packaged in a 24-lead small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) with RW-24 option code, per the official Analog Devices ordering guide. This package has standard JEDEC MS-013AC dimensions (7.5 mm × 12.8 mm), gull-wing leads, and is RoHS-compliant. It is distinct from the PDIP (N-28) and PQFP (S-44) packages used for AD7777 and AD7778 variants.
Can the AD7776AR operate in power-down mode, and what is its quiescent current?
Yes, the AD7776AR supports power-down mode activated by writing '1' to control register bit CR8. In this mode, all linear circuitry is disabled, REFOUT is weakly pulled to AGND (5 kΩ), and ICC drops to 1.5 mA maximum. Power-up time to full operational specification is 500 µs. These values are specified in the Power Requirements section of the AD7776/AD7777/AD7778 datasheet Rev. A.
