Product details
Overview
AD7828BR from Analog Devices is an 8-channel, 8-bit LC2MOS successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with built-in track-and-hold, single 5 V supply operation, ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error (B-grade), and 2.5 µs per-channel conversion time. It digitizes 0 V to 5 V analog inputs across eight multiplexed channels and is used in real-time data acquisition systems requiring multichannel sampling without external sample-and-hold circuitry.
For engineers reviewing the AD7828BR datasheet, AD7828BR pinout, AD7828BR application, or AD7828BR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, confirmed timing behavior in Mode 0 and Mode 1, and validated alternative parts for industrial temperature-range 8-channel ADC designs.
Technical Context
The AD7828BR employs a half-flash architecture using two 4-bit flash ADCs - one for MSBs and one for LSBs - with an internal 4-bit DAC reconstructing the MSB analog value for subtraction before LSB conversion. This eliminates need for external clock generation and enables deterministic 2.5 µs conversion time per channel.
It supports two microprocessor interface modes: Mode 0 uses RDY/INT to assert WAIT/DTACK signals for synchronous read-after-conversion, while Mode 1 performs overlapped conversion and read operations with 2.5 µs inter-conversion delay. Address latching occurs on rising RD edge in Mode 1, and A0–A2 select among eight analog inputs (AIN1–AIN8).
Key Specifications

| Conversion Time | 2.5 µs per channel - sets maximum per-channel sampling rate at 400 kSPS in burst mode |
| Analog Input Bandwidth | 10 kHz - supports full-scale sinusoidal inputs up to 157 mV/µs slew rate without external S/H |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±5% - simplifies system power design; no dual or split supplies required |

Pinout & Package
AD7828BR is supplied in a 28-pin plastic DIP (N-28) package measuring 0.600" × 0.300", with 0.100" lead pitch and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 identifier is located at top-left corner when notch faces upward.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN1–AIN8 | Analog input channels | Eight single-ended voltage inputs referenced to VREF(–); selected via A0–A2 address lines |
| A0, A1, A2 | Multiplexer address inputs | Binary-encoded selection of active analog channel (e.g., A2A1A0 = 111 selects AIN8) |

| RD | Read input | Active-low control; triggers data output enable and conversion start depending on operating mode |
| RDY | Ready status output | Open-drain signal indicating conversion completion; requires external pull-up in Mode 0 |
| INT | Interrupt output | Active-low pulse signaling end of conversion; self-clears on CS or RD rising edge |
| DB0–DB7 | Three-state data outputs | 8-bit parallel natural binary output; high-impedance when CS or RD is high |
| VREF(+), VREF(–) | Differential reference inputs | Define full-scale range (e.g., 5 V span yields 19.5 mV/LSB); support ratiometric and bipolar configurations |
| VDD, GND | Power supply terminals | Single 5 V supply with ground return; decoupling capacitors required per datasheet layout guidelines |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-channel, 8-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7828LN | Same architecture and pinout; commercial temp range (0°C to 70°C) vs. AD7828BR's industrial range | Suitable for lab equipment or non-ruggedized embedded systems where ambient temperature stays within 0–70°C | Select AD7828LN only if operating environment remains within commercial temperature limits and ±1/2 LSB error is required |
| MAX195BCPP | 16-bit SAR ADC with serial SPI interface; no built-in track-and-hold; requires external clock and reference | Better resolution but slower (4.5 µs conversion) and higher system complexity due to serial interface and external components | Choose MAX195BCPP only when 16-bit resolution outweighs added design effort and cost of external support circuitry |
Compared with AD7828LN, AD7828BR offers extended temperature qualification critical for factory-floor deployment, while MAX195BCPP trades simplicity and speed for resolution - making AD7828BR optimal for cost-sensitive, high-channel-count industrial data acquisition where 8-bit precision suffices.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the AD7828BR?
The AD7828BR is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the Ordering Guide section of the AD7828 datasheet Rev. F, where "BR" suffix denotes the B-grade temperature range and R-28 package. The device maintains ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error across this full range when operated with VDD = 5 V ±5% and VREF = 5 V.
Does the AD7828BR require an external clock signal to operate?
No, the AD7828BR does not require an external clock signal. Its half-flash conversion architecture generates internal timing autonomously. Conversion is initiated solely by asserting CS and RD control signals - a key differentiator from SAR or sigma-delta ADCs. This simplifies system design and eliminates clock distribution noise concerns in sensitive analog sections.
How many analog input channels does the AD7828BR support, and how are they selected?
The AD7828BR supports eight single-ended analog input channels (AIN1 through AIN8). Channel selection is performed using the three address inputs A2, A1, and A0, which accept TTL/CMOS-compatible logic levels. The truth table in the datasheet defines binary combinations - for example, A2A1A0 = 000 selects AIN1, and A2A1A0 = 111 selects AIN8.
What is the meaning of the "BR" suffix in AD7828BR?
The "BR" suffix identifies the AD7828BR as a B-grade industrial-temperature version in the R-28 (28-pin SOIC wide-body) package. "B" denotes the –40°C to +85°C operating range, and "R" specifies the SOIC package variant. This differs from "BN" (DIP) or "BQ" (ceramic LCC) variants, all sharing identical electrical specifications but differing in mechanical form factor and thermal characteristics.
Can the AD7828BR interface directly with a Z80 microprocessor?
Yes, the AD7828BR can interface directly with a Z80 microprocessor using Mode 0 operation. As shown in Figure 16 of the datasheet, RDY connects to the Z80 WAIT input, and CS/RD map to memory-read cycles. A single LD instruction (e.g., LD B, (C000)) initiates conversion and reads result - no glue logic or timing adapters are needed due to native compatibility with Z80 bus timing requirements.
