Product details
Overview
AD7825BRU from Analog Devices is a high-speed, 4-channel, 8-bit parallel-output analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 2 MSPS throughput, 420 ns conversion time, on-chip 2.5 V reference, and track-and-hold - designed for DSP front ends and subsampling in mobile communication systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7825BRU datasheet, AD7825BRU pinout, AD7825BRU application, or AD7825BRU equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3 V/5 V dual-supply compatibility, automatic power-down via CONVST, flexible channel addressing (A0/A1), and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AD7825BRU implements an 8-bit half-flash architecture with two-stage conversion: a coarse 4-bit flash stage followed by a fine 4-bit flash stage, completing within 420 ns max. Its track-and-hold acquires input signals in ≤200 ns and supports full-power bandwidth up to 10 MHz.
It features a single-conversion-start/power-down pin (CONVST) that samples logic level at EOC assertion to enable automatic power-down; additionally, it includes a dedicated PD pin for explicit low-power control - a capability shared only with AD7822 and AD7825, not AD7829.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - guarantees no missing codes over full operating range. |
| Max Throughput | 2 MSPS - enables real-time sampling of baseband and IF signals in communications systems. |
| Conversion Time | 420 ns max - defines minimum inter-conversion interval for sustained high-speed acquisition. |
| Analog Input Channels | 4 single-ended - selectable via A0/A1 address inputs without register writes. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V ±10% or 5 V ±10% - supports dual-voltage system integration without level-shifting. |
| On-Chip Reference | 2.5 V ±50 mV - eliminates need for external reference in cost-sensitive designs; buffered output available at VREF IN/OUT. |
| Power Dissipation | 24 mW typical at 3 V - enables low-power portable instrumentation and battery-backed data loggers. |
Pinout & Package
The AD7825BRU is packaged in a 24-lead, 0.3" wide SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) - RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable, with standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1–VIN4 | Analog Input Channels | Four single-ended inputs; span = 2.5 V @ 5 V supply or 2.0 V @ 3 V supply, centered by VMID. |
| CONVST | Convert Start / Power-Down Control | Falling edge initiates conversion; logic state sampled at EOC high to auto-enter power-down mode. |
| PD | Explicit Power-Down Input | Low-active signal forces immediate shutdown - independent of CONVST timing, enabling deterministic low-power sequencing. |
| A0, A1 | Channel Address Inputs | Selects VIN1–VIN4 prior to RD assertion; no internal register required - simplifies microcontroller interface. |
| EOC | End-of-Conversion Output | Active-low pulse indicates data validity; used to trigger interrupt or latch data in standalone operation. |
| RD, CS | Parallel Bus Enable Controls | Both must be low to drive DB0–DB7; supports shared data bus architectures with address decoding. |
| DB0–DB7 | 8-Bit Parallel Data Outputs | High-impedance when inactive; driven after RD/CS assertion - compatible with 5 V and 3 V logic families. |
| VREF IN/OUT | Reference I/O Terminal | Provides access to internal 2.5 V reference or accepts external reference - decoupling to AGND improves noise immunity. |
| VMID | Analog Input Span Centering | Sets common-mode voltage for all channels; default = 1.25 V @ 5 V or 1.0 V @ 3 V - enables single-supply op amp interfacing. |
| VDD, AGND, DGND | Power & Ground Rails | Separate analog/digital grounds reduce coupling noise; VDD tolerance allows direct connection to regulated 3.3 V or 5 V rails. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 420 ns conversion time | Enables ≥2 MSPS sustained sampling - critical for real-time DSP front ends and disk drive servo loops. |
| Automatic power-down via CONVST | Reduces average current to <5 µA between conversions - extends battery life without software overhead. |
| On-chip 2.5 V reference (±2%) | Eliminates external reference IC and associated layout area - lowers BOM count and design risk. |
| Track-and-hold with 10 MHz FPBW | Preserves signal integrity for undersampling applications up to IF frequencies - avoids aliasing in SDR receivers. |
| Flexible 3 V/5 V operation | Supports mixed-voltage systems and legacy 5 V microcontrollers while enabling modern 3 V DSPs - no level shifters needed. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-channel, 8-bit, high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7822BRU | 1-channel, same 420 ns conversion, identical package and pinout except no A0/A1/PD pins. | Limited to single-signal monitoring; unsuitable for multiplexed multi-sensor systems. | Select when only one analog input is required and board space must match AD7825 footprint. |
| ADS7822U | 8-bit, 200 kSPS serial-output SAR ADC; no on-chip reference; requires external clock and reference. | Lower speed, serial interface, higher external component count - suited for low-cost, low-power sensor nodes. | Select for ultra-low-power (<1 mW) applications where 2 MSPS is unnecessary and serial interface is preferred. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7825BRU?
The AD7825BRU supports a maximum throughput of 2 MSPS, corresponding to a guaranteed maximum conversion time of 420 ns. This rate is achievable across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and both 3 V and 5 V supply conditions, as verified in the Rev. C datasheet timing characteristics table.
Does the AD7825BRU require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7825BRU includes an on-chip 2.5 V reference with ±2% initial accuracy and 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The VREF IN/OUT pin provides access to this reference; it may be left unconnected or decoupled to AGND with a 0.1 µF capacitor. An external reference can be applied if higher precision is required.
How does channel selection work on the AD7825BRU without register writes?
The AD7825BRU uses hardwired address inputs A0 and A1 to select among VIN1–VIN4. Prior to asserting RD, the user drives the desired binary code (00–11) onto A0/A1; the selected channel is sampled on the falling edge of CONVST. No internal configuration register or SPI/I²C interface is involved - enabling simple GPIO-based control.
What is the purpose of the VMID pin on the AD7825BRU?
The VMID pin sets the center voltage of the analog input span. With VDD = 5 V, default span is 0–2.5 V centered at 1.25 V; with VDD = 3 V, it is 0–2.0 V centered at 1.0 V. Connecting VMID to an external voltage shifts the entire input range - allowing single-supply op amps to drive the AD7825BRU without level-shifting circuitry.
Can the AD7825BRU operate in standalone mode without a microprocessor?
Yes, the AD7825BRU supports standalone operation using its EOC pulse and CONVST-controlled power-down. A monostable or counter can generate periodic CONVST pulses; EOC then signals data readiness to latch into external registers. No address decoding or bus arbitration is required - confirmed in the Parallel Interface and Standalone Operation sections of the Rev. C datasheet.
