Product details
Overview
AD7816AR-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, single-channel analog-to-digital converter with integrated temperature sensor, 9 μs conversion time for VIN1, 27 μs for temperature channel, on-chip 2.5 V reference (±1%), and −55°C to +125°C operating range. It serves as a compact ambient sensing and voltage monitoring IC in battery-powered industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AD7816AR-REEL7 datasheet, AD7816AR-REEL7 pinout, AD7816AR-REEL7 application, or AD7816AR-REEL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional context, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Analog Devices' Rev. E datasheet and official package documentation.
Technical Context
The AD7816AR-REEL7 implements a successive approximation ADC architecture centered on a capacitor DAC, with inherent track-and-hold functionality and an internal clock oscillator. Its conversion sequence is initiated by a falling edge on CONVST, and BUSY remains high during conversion.
It features dual-mode operation: normal conversion mode and auto power-down triggered by low CONVST state post-conversion. The on-chip temperature sensor is accessed via Channel 0, delivering 0.25°C resolution and ±2°C accuracy from −40°C to +85°C using the internal reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - delivers 1,024 discrete output codes for precise voltage and temperature digitization. |
| Conversion Time (VIN1) | 9 μs - enables up to ~111 kSPS sampling without external timing control. |
| Conversion Time (Temp) | 27 μs - supports accurate ambient sensing at moderate update rates (e.g., 37 kSPS max). |
| Temperature Accuracy | ±2°C over −40°C to +85°C - meets industrial-grade thermal monitoring requirements without calibration. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V system rails. |
| On-Chip Reference | 2.5 V ±1% - eliminates need for external reference while maintaining <±2 LSB gain error. |
| Power (1 kSPS) | 48.8 μW at VDD = 3 V - enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on sensor nodes. |
Pinout & Package
AD7816AR-REEL7 is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), 0.15-inch width, RoHS-compliant, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CONVST | Logic Input (Active-Low Trigger) | Falling edge initiates conversion and places track-and-hold into hold mode; low state after conversion triggers auto power-down. |
| BUSY | Logic Output (Open-Drain) | High during conversion; used for interrupt-driven microcontroller synchronization or polling. |
| OTI | Logic Output (Open-Drain) | Asserted low when temperature reading exceeds user-programmed threshold in OTR register; resets after serial read completion. |
| CS | Logic Input (Chip Select) | Enables serial interface; required when sharing SPI bus with multiple devices. |
| GND | Analog/Digital Ground | Single ground pin serving both analog and digital sections - simplifies layout but requires careful PCB grounding strategy. |
| VIN | Analog Input (Single-Ended) | Accepts 0 V to 2.5 V input referenced to GND; supports direct connection to resistive sensors or voltage dividers. |
| VDD | Positive Supply | 2.7 V–5.5 V supply powering ADC core, reference, and digital logic; decoupling capacitor mandatory near pin. |
| DIN/OUT | Serial Data I/O | 3-wire SPI-compatible bidirectional data line - reduces pin count vs. separate DOUT/DIN (as in AD7817). |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Master-generated clock; data latched on rising edge (input), output on falling edge (output). |
| RD/WR | Read/Write Control | High = read from ADC, low = write to address or overtemperature register; defines transaction direction on DIN/OUT. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Temperature Sensor | Direct access via Channel 0 with 0.25°C LSB resolution and ±2°C accuracy - eliminates external sensor and signal conditioning. |
| Overtemperature Indicator (OTI) | Dedicated open-drain output that asserts low when sensed temperature exceeds programmable threshold - enables hardware-level thermal shutdown. |
| Auto Power-Down Mode | Reduces current to ≤4.5 μA at 3 V after conversion - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like environmental loggers. |
| Flexible Serial Interface | 3-wire SPI-compatible protocol supporting Intel 8051, Motorola SPI/QSPI, and National MICROWIRE - ensures drop-in compatibility with legacy and modern MCUs. |
| On-Chip 2.5 V Reference | Stable ±1% initial tolerance and 30 ppm/°C tempco - removes external reference cost and board space while maintaining DC accuracy within ±10 LSB gain error. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog sensing and temperature monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7818ARZ-REEL7 | Same silicon, 8-lead SOIC package, identical pinout and electrical specs - direct replacement with same RoHS and tape-and-reel packaging. | No functional difference; both support single-channel VIN + temperature sensing with OTI and 3-wire SPI. | Select AD7818ARZ-REEL7 when requiring full manufacturer traceability and documented qualification per Analog Devices' ordering guide. |
| MCP3001-I/P | 10-bit, single-channel SAR ADC without integrated temperature sensor; requires external reference and thermal sensing circuitry. | Lacks on-chip temperature measurement and OTI output - necessitates additional components for thermal monitoring. | Choose MCP3001-I/P only if temperature sensing is handled separately and lowest possible unit cost is prioritized over integration. |
Compared with AD7816AR-REEL7, AD7818ARZ-REEL7 offers identical functionality and form factor with full Analog Devices production traceability, while MCP3001-I/P trades integration for lower base ADC cost - making it viable only when thermal sensing is implemented externally.

FAQ
What is the function of the OTI pin on the AD7816AR-REEL7?
The OTI (Overtemperature Indicator) pin on the AD7816AR-REEL7 is an open-drain logic output that goes low when the digitized temperature from Channel 0 exceeds the value stored in the on-chip overtemperature register (OTR). It resets automatically after a serial read operation completes. This hardware-level alert allows immediate system response - such as disabling a heater or triggering a fan - without MCU intervention, enhancing reliability in AD7816AR-REEL7-based thermal protection circuits.
Does the AD7816AR-REEL7 require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7816AR-REEL7 does not require an external reference voltage. It integrates a 2.5 V ±1% on-chip reference with 30 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, which is used by default for both analog-to-digital conversion and temperature measurement. An external reference may be applied only if higher initial accuracy or custom reference voltage is needed - but doing so disables the internal reference and alters temperature sensor accuracy per the AD7816AR-REEL7 datasheet's error analysis section.
What is the maximum sampling rate achievable with the AD7816AR-REEL7?
The AD7816AR-REEL7 achieves a maximum sampling rate of approximately 111 kSPS when converting the VIN channel, based on its guaranteed 9 μs conversion time. For temperature channel conversions, the 27 μs time limits maximum rate to ~37 kSPS. Actual sustained throughput depends on serial interface speed, MCU overhead, and whether auto power-down is enabled - but the core ADC timing is fixed and independent of external clocking.
How is temperature measured using the AD7816AR-REEL7?
Temperature is measured using the AD7816AR-REEL7 by selecting Channel 0 (the on-chip temperature sensor) via the address register and initiating a conversion. The resulting 10-bit code corresponds to ambient temperature with 0.25°C resolution. At 25°C, the typical output is 0x80 (128 decimal); each LSB change equals 0.25°C. Accuracy is ±2°C from −40°C to +85°C when using the internal 2.5 V reference, as specified in the AD7816AR-REEL7 datasheet Rev. E.
Is the AD7816AR-REEL7 pin-compatible with other devices in the AD7817/AD7818 family?
Yes, the AD7816AR-REEL7 is functionally and pin-compatible with the AD7818ARZ-REEL7 - both are 8-lead SOIC-packaged, single-channel variants sharing identical pin configuration (CONVST, BUSY, OTI, CS, GND, VIN, VDD, DIN/OUT, SCLK, RD/WR), register map, and timing behavior. However, it is not pin-compatible with the 4-channel AD7817 (16-lead SOIC/TSSOP), which uses separate DOUT/DIN pins and different pin numbering.
