Product details
Overview
AD7822BNZ from Analog Devices is a high-speed, single-channel, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 2 MSPS throughput, 420 ns conversion time, on-chip 2.5 V reference, and parallel interface - designed for DSP front ends and data acquisition systems operating from 3 V or 5 V supplies.
For engineers reviewing the AD7822BNZ datasheet, AD7822BNZ pinout, AD7822BNZ application, or AD7822BNZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional context, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in the Rev. C datasheet and official Analog Devices documentation.
Technical Context
The AD7822BNZ implements an 8-bit half-flash architecture with a track-and-hold amplifier and integrated 2.5 V reference. It supports automatic power-down triggered by CONVST logic level sampling at EOC assertion, enabling ultra-low quiescent current (5 µA) between conversions.
Its parallel interface uses active-low CS and RD with EOC pulse output for microprocessor/DSP synchronization. Channel selection is fixed (single-input), eliminating address bus requirements - unlike the AD7825/AD7829 variants - and simplifying standalone operation in compact signal chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - guarantees monotonic transfer function and no missing codes over full temperature range. |
| Max Throughput | 2 MSPS - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 10 MHz full-power bandwidth (FPBW) for subsampling applications. |
| Conversion Time | 420 ns max - defines minimum inter-conversion interval and maximizes DSP processing window in time-critical systems. |
| Input Span | 0 V to 2.5 V p-p @ 5 V supply or 0 V to 2 V p-p @ 3 V supply - auto-detected via internal VDD comparator; centered by VMID pin. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.75 LSB max each - ensures accurate amplitude fidelity in measurement and control loops without calibration. |
| Power Consumption | 12 mA max @ 2 MSPS (3 V or 5 V); drops to 5 µA in power-down - supports battery-powered or thermally constrained designs. |
| SNR | 48 dB min @ fIN = 30 kHz - sufficient for medium-fidelity instrumentation and communication baseband digitization. |
Pinout & Package
The AD7822BNZ is packaged in a 20-lead, 0.3" wide plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), with pins arranged for direct PCB mounting and standard through-hole assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CONVST | Convert Start Input | Falling edge initiates conversion and places T/H in hold mode; sampled at EOC to trigger automatic power-down. |
| EOC | End-of-Conversion Output | Active-low pulse signals completion; used to interrupt MCU or latch data without external timing logic. |
| RD | Read Strobe Input | Activates output drivers when low (with CS), enabling parallel data readout onto DB0–DB7 bus. |
| CS | Chip Select Input | Enables parallel port only when low - essential for shared-bus systems with multiple peripherals. |
| DB0–DB7 | Digital Output Bus | Tri-state outputs deliver 8-bit straight-binary code; high-impedance when RD/CS inactive for bus isolation. |
| VIN1 | Analog Input Channel | Single-ended input with 15 pF capacitance and ±1 µA leakage - compatible with op-amp drivers and passive anti-alias filters. |
| VREF IN/OUT | Reference I/O | Provides access to internal 2.5 V ±50 mV reference or accepts external reference; decoupling recommended. |
| VMID | Input Span Center | Adjusts analog input range center point from AGND to VDD - enables offset compensation in single-supply front ends. |
| AGND / DGND | Analog & Digital Grounds | Separate ground pins minimize digital switching noise coupling into sensitive analog path; tied together at single point. |
| VDD | Supply Voltage | Accepts 2.7–3.3 V or 4.5–5.5 V - wide tolerance simplifies power rail design and supports mixed-voltage system integration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 420 ns conversion time | Enables 2 MSPS sampling without pipeline latency - critical for real-time feedback control and burst-mode acquisition. |
| On-chip 2.5 V reference | Eliminates need for external precision reference; ±50 mV error and 50 ppm/°C drift support stable DC accuracy. |
| Automatic power-down | Reduces average current to µA-level between conversions - extends battery life in portable test equipment and sensors. |
| VMID-adjustable input span | Allows input range centering anywhere from AGND to VDD - simplifies interfacing with unipolar or bipolar sensor outputs. |
| Track-and-hold FPBW = 10 MHz | Preserves signal integrity for full-scale inputs up to 10 MHz - suitable for IF subsampling in wireless receivers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit, high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7825BNZ | 4-channel variant with A0/A1 address inputs; identical conversion speed, reference, and power specs. | Requires multiplexer control logic and address decoding - unsuitable for single-input simplicity but better channel density. | Select AD7825BNZ only if multi-channel sampling is required; AD7822BNZ avoids address bus overhead and layout complexity. |
| MAX1186BCPP+ | Pin-compatible 8-bit, 2 MSPS ADC with internal reference; different timing (tCONV = 450 ns), higher THD (−50 dB). | Lacks VMID offset adjustment and automatic power-down - requires external reference and explicit sleep control. | Choose MAX1186BCPP+ only if legacy MAXIM footprint compatibility is mandatory; AD7822BNZ offers superior offset flexibility and lower idle power. |
Compared with AD7825BNZ, AD7822BNZ eliminates channel addressing complexity and reduces BOM count in single-signal systems; compared with MAX1186BCPP+, it delivers tighter DC accuracy (±0.75 LSB INL vs ±1.5 LSB), integrated VMID offset, and autonomous power management - making it optimal for precision, low-overhead acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7822BNZ?
The AD7822BNZ supports a maximum throughput of 2 MSPS, with a guaranteed maximum conversion time of 420 ns. This rate is achievable across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and under both 3 V and 5 V supply conditions, as confirmed in the Rev. C datasheet Table 1 and Timing Characteristics section.
Does the AD7822BNZ require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7822BNZ includes an on-chip 2.5 V reference with ±50 mV initial error and 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The VREF IN/OUT pin can be left unconnected for internal reference use or decoupled with a 0.1 µF capacitor to AGND - no external reference is needed unless higher precision is required.
How does the automatic power-down feature work on the AD7822BNZ?
The AD7822BNZ samples the logic level on the CONVST pin at the moment EOC goes high. If CONVST is low, the device enters power-down mode, reducing supply current to 5 µA. This occurs automatically after every conversion unless CONVST is held high - enabling energy-efficient burst-mode operation without software intervention.
What is the purpose of the VMID pin on the AD7822BNZ?
The VMID pin sets the center point of the AD7822BNZ's analog input range (0 V to 2 V @ 3 V or 0 V to 2.5 V @ 5 V). When left unconnected, it defaults to 1.0 V or 1.25 V respectively. Connecting an external voltage allows full-span centering anywhere from AGND to VDD - essential for interfacing with single-supply op amps and compensating system offsets.
Is the AD7822BNZ pin-compatible with other devices in the AD782x family?
No - the AD7822BNZ (20-pin PDIP) has a distinct pinout from the AD7825BNZ (24-pin) and AD7829 (28-pin), with no shared pin mapping for address lines (A0/A1/A2), additional analog inputs, or PD. Its simplified single-channel layout omits multiplexer control pins, making it electrically and physically non-interchangeable with those variants.
