Product details
Overview
AD7820KP-REEL from Analog Devices is an LC2MOS 8-bit flash analog-to-digital converter with integrated track/hold, 1 µs conversion time, ±0.5 LSB INL, and CMOS/TTL-compatible parallel interface. It operates from a single +5 V supply and targets high-speed data acquisition in instrumentation and digital oscilloscopes.
For engineers reviewing the AD7820KP-REEL datasheet, AD7820KP-REEL pinout, AD7820KP-REEL application, or AD7820KP-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include conversion speed, track/hold aperture uncertainty, single-supply operation, and microprocessor interface timing compatibility.
Technical Context
The AD7820KP-REEL implements a half-flash (subranging) architecture with internal sample-and-hold, enabling 1 µs full-scale conversion without external hold circuitry. Its LC2MOS process ensures low power consumption (125 mW typical) and high noise immunity.
It features a 3-state parallel output bus compatible with 8080/8085 and Z80 microprocessors, with separate BUSY and RDY signals for handshaking. Input range is 0 V to +5 V (ratiometric to VREF), and reference voltage can be internally derived or externally applied.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - delivers 256 discrete digital codes for medium-speed digitization of analog waveforms |
| Conversion Time | 1 µs - enables sampling rates up to 1 MSPS in burst mode with minimal dead time |
| INL | ±0.5 LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.2% full-scale linearity error across temperature |
| Supply Voltage | +5 V only - eliminates need for dual supplies or level-shifting in 5 V system designs |
| Power Dissipation | 125 mW typical - supports compact PCB layout without forced air cooling |
| Input Range | 0 V to +5 V (ratiometric) - simplifies sensor interfacing when using same supply as reference |
Pinout & Package
AD7820KP-REEL is housed in a 20-pin plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package) with 0.3-inch body width and standard through-hole footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VANALOG) | Analog Supply | Primary +5 V supply for analog core; requires local 0.1 µF bypass to GND |
| 2 (VDIGITAL) | Digital Supply | +5 V supply for logic interface; separated from analog rail to reduce coupling noise |
| 3 (GND) | Analog Ground | Reference return for analog input and internal circuitry; must be star-connected to minimize offset drift |
| 4 (VIN) | Analog Input | Single-ended 0–5 V input; accepts DC or AC-coupled signals up to 1 MHz bandwidth |
| 5 (VREF) | Reference Input | Accepts external 5 V reference or connects to VANALOG for ratiometric operation |
| 6–13 (DB0–DB7) | Data Bus Outputs | Active-high TTL/CMOS-compatible 8-bit parallel output; tri-stated when CS = high |
| 14 (RDY) | Ready Flag | Active-high open-collector signal indicating conversion completion and data validity |
| 15 (BUSY) | Busy Flag | Active-high open-collector signal asserted during conversion; used for polling or interrupt generation |
| 16 (CS) | Chip Select | Active-low enable for data bus and control logic; required for multi-device bus sharing |
| 17 (WR) | Write Strobe | Active-low edge-triggered command initiating conversion on falling edge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | Eliminates external sample-and-hold IC and associated layout complexity in high-frequency acquisition paths |
| Microprocessor-compatible interface | Direct connection to 8080/8085/Z80 buses without glue logic or level translators |
| Ratiometric reference option | Enables direct interfacing with resistive sensors (e.g., potentiometers) without precision reference ICs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit flash ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7821KP-REEL | Same pinout and timing, but uses external reference only (no internal ratiometric option); slightly lower power (110 mW) | Suitable where reference accuracy is prioritized over supply simplicity | Select AD7821KP-REEL when external precision reference is already present and board space allows dedicated ref IC |
| MAX160BCPP | 10-bit resolution, 2.5 µs conversion, +5 V supply, but no integrated track/hold and different pinout | Used in higher-resolution, lower-speed systems where aperture jitter is less critical | Choose MAX160BCPP only when 10-bit resolution outweighs need for sub-µs timing and integrated hold function |
Compared with AD7820KP-REEL, AD7821KP-REEL offers tighter reference control at the cost of design flexibility, while MAX160BCPP trades speed and integration for resolution-making AD7820KP-REEL optimal for time-critical 8-bit acquisition where simplicity and timing determinism are primary.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate achievable with the AD7820KP-REEL?
The AD7820KP-REEL achieves a maximum sustained sampling rate of 1 MSPS in burst mode, limited by its 1 µs conversion time and minimum inter-conversion delay. Real-world throughput depends on microprocessor bus access time and RDY signal response; for continuous streaming, system-level timing must accommodate CS setup/hold and data read cycles. The AD7820KP-REEL does not support pipelined or interleaved modes.
Does the AD7820KP-REEL require an external reference voltage?
No-the AD7820KP-REEL supports both external reference and ratiometric operation. When VREF is tied to VANALOG, it uses the +5 V supply as reference, enabling direct interfacing with resistive sensors. For improved accuracy, a precision 5.00 V reference may be applied externally. The AD7820KP-REEL does not generate its own reference and lacks internal bandgap or trimming.
Is the AD7820KP-REEL pin-compatible with other members of the AD782X family?
Yes-the AD7820KP-REEL shares identical pinout and timing with AD7821KP-REEL and AD7822KP-REEL, differing only in reference configuration and resolution. This allows hardware reuse across variants. However, AD7820KP-REEL is not pin-compatible with AD7823 or AD7829 due to different package counts and bus structures.
What is the operating temperature range for the AD7820KP-REEL?
The AD7820KP-REEL is specified for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. Performance parameters-including INL, conversion time, and power dissipation-are guaranteed across this range per the AD7820 military and commercial data sheets. No derating is required within these limits, and the LC2MOS process ensures stable behavior without thermal shutdown.
Can the AD7820KP-REEL interface directly with modern microcontrollers lacking 8080-style bus timing?
Yes-with appropriate timing adaptation. While the AD7820KP-REEL is optimized for 8080/8085 timing, its RDY and BUSY signals allow synchronization with slower or asynchronous controllers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M). GPIO-driven strobes and polling loops can replicate WR/CS timing; however, the AD7820KP-REEL does not support SPI or I²C natively and requires parallel bus emulation.
