Product details
Overview
AD7788ARMZ from Analog Devices is a low-power, 16-bit sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with differential input, 16.6 Hz output update rate, 1.5 µV rms noise, and integrated VDD monitor channel. It operates from a single 2.5 V to 5.25 V supply, consumes ≤75 µA in normal mode, and targets precision sensor measurement in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7788ARMZ datasheet, AD7788ARMZ pinout, AD7788ARMZ application, or AD7788ARMZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection, internal clock oscillator eliminating external timing components, MSOP-10 package compatibility with space-constrained layouts, and guaranteed 16-bit no-missing-codes performance over −40°C to +105°C (B grade).
Technical Context
The AD7788ARMZ implements a fully differential sigma-delta modulator with on-chip digital filtering optimized for low-frequency DC and near-DC signals. Its architecture delivers simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz line frequency rejection without external notch filters, enabled by a fixed 16.6 Hz output data rate synchronized to the internal oscillator.
It features a dedicated VDD monitor channel (CH1=CH0=11), unbuffered differential analog input (AIN+/AIN−), and reference input range of 0.1 V to VDD. The device supports bipolar/unipolar coding via the U/B bit and uses offset binary output format, with all register access handled through a 3-wire SPI-compatible serial interface.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar sigma-delta ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7789ARMZ | 24-bit resolution, 19-bit p-p, higher RMS noise (1.5 µV same), identical pinout and interface. | Used where ultra-high dynamic range is required (e.g., precision weigh scales), not for cost-optimized 16-bit systems. | Select AD7789ARMZ only if 24-bit resolution is mandatory; AD7788ARMZ offers lower cost and same footprint for 16-bit use cases. |
| ADS1115IDGSR | 16-bit, I²C interface, 860 SPS max, no internal oscillator, requires external clock or MCU timing control. | Preferred in I²C-based microcontroller systems; lacks simultaneous 50/60 Hz rejection and VDD monitor channel. | Choose ADS1115IDGSR for I²C convenience and higher speed; AD7788ARMZ is superior for AC-line-noise immunity and autonomous operation. |
Compared with AD7789ARMZ, AD7788ARMZ trades resolution for lower cost and identical integration; versus ADS1115IDGSR, it delivers hardware-based line rejection and self-timed operation at the expense of interface flexibility.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed resolution and no-missing-codes specification for AD7788ARMZ?
The AD7788ARMZ guarantees 16-bit no-missing-codes performance across its full operating temperature range (−40°C to +105°C, B grade). Its 16-bit peak-to-peak resolution ensures monotonic output with no code gaps, validated per Table 2 in the Rev. C datasheet. This makes AD7788ARMZ suitable for closed-loop control and metrology-grade applications where code continuity is essential.
Does AD7788ARMZ require an external clock source?
No, AD7788ARMZ does not require an external clock source. It integrates a precision internal oscillator that drives the sigma-delta modulator and digital filter at a fixed 16.6 Hz output data rate. This eliminates external crystals, oscillators, or clock routing, simplifying design and improving reliability-key advantages of the AD7788ARMZ in space- and cost-constrained systems.
How does the VDD monitor channel function in AD7788ARMZ?
The AD7788ARMZ VDD monitor channel (selected via CH1=CH0=11 in the communications register) measures the supply voltage by dividing VDD by 5 internally and converting it against the on-chip 1.17 V reference. This enables real-time supply health checks without external resistive dividers. The result appears in the AD7788ARMZ data register alongside sensor conversions, supporting fail-safe system diagnostics.
What packaging and thermal specifications apply to AD7788ARMZ?
AD7788ARMZ is supplied in a 10-lead MSOP package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm height) with 0.5 mm lead pitch. Its thermal characteristics include θJA = 206°C/W and θJC = 44°C/W, supporting operation up to +105°C ambient when properly mounted on standard FR-4 PCBs with adequate copper pour. The MSOP footprint ensures compatibility with automated SMT assembly lines.
Can AD7788ARMZ reject both 50 Hz and 60 Hz interference simultaneously?
Yes, AD7788ARMZ provides simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz rejection by design. Its fixed 16.6 Hz output update rate creates a digital filter response with deep nulls at both frequencies-verified in Figure 6 of the datasheet. This hardware-based rejection occurs without firmware intervention or external components, making AD7788ARMZ ideal for global deployments where mains frequency varies by region.
