Product details
Overview
AD7828KN from Analog Devices is an 8-channel, 8-bit LC2MOS analog-to-digital converter with built-in track-and-hold, single 5 V supply operation, ±1 LSB total unadjusted error, 2.5 µs per-channel conversion time, and 0 V to 5 V unipolar input range - used in real-time multichannel data acquisition systems such as speech analysis and industrial sensor monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the AD7828KN datasheet, AD7828KN pinout, AD7828KN application, or AD7828KN equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, validated DIP-28 package mapping, confirmed microprocessor interface timing (Mode 0/1), and two field-tested alternative parts for legacy system upgrades and obsolescence mitigation.
Technical Context
The AD7828KN employs a half-flash architecture: two 4-bit flash ADCs (MSB and LSB stages) plus an internal 4-bit DAC reconstruct the analog input for full 8-bit resolution. Its track-and-hold function is inherent to the comparator switching topology, eliminating external S/H requirements for ≤10 kHz signals.
Digital control uses only CS and RD lines - no external clock needed - with address latching via A0–A2 inputs. It supports both Mode 0 (WAIT-state microprocessors like Z80/MC68000) and Mode 1 (non-WAIT TMS32010), with open-drain RDY and active-low INT outputs for status signaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8 bits - delivers 256 discrete digital codes across full-scale input range |
| Conversion Time | 2.5 µs per channel - enables 50 kHz per-channel sampling on all 8 inputs |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1 LSB max - includes offset, full-scale, and linearity errors without calibration |
| Analog Input Bandwidth | 10 kHz - supports full-scale sinusoidal inputs up to 157 mV/µs slew rate |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±5% - single-supply operation simplifies power design vs. dual-rail ADCs |
| Power Dissipation | 50 mW typical - low quiescent current (16 mA max at VDD = 5 V) aids thermal management |
| Input Range | 0 V to 5 V (unipolar) - set by external VREF(+) and VREF(–); ratiometric operation supported |
Pinout & Package
AD7828KN is packaged in a 28-pin plastic DIP (N-28), 0.6" wide, with 0.1" lead pitch and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 identifier notch located at top-left corner when viewed from top with pins down.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN1–AIN8 | Analog input channels | Eight single-ended inputs; selected via A0–A2 address lines; 0 V to 5 V range |
| A0, A1, A2 | Multiplexer address inputs | Binary-encoded selection of one of eight analog channels (A2 only on AD7828) |
| CS | Chip Select input | Active-low enable; initiates conversion when asserted with RD in Mode 0 |
| RD | Read input | Active-low control; latches address in Mode 1; triggers data output after conversion |
| RDY | Ready status output | Open-drain signal; goes high-impedance at conversion completion (Mode 0 only) |
| INT | Interrupt output | Active-low pulse indicating conversion completion; resets on rising edge of CS or RD |
| DB0–DB7 | Three-state data outputs | 8-bit parallel natural binary output; driven only after conversion completes |
| VREF(+), VREF(–) | Differential reference inputs | Define full-scale range; support offset and ratiometric configurations (e.g., VREF(–) ≠ GND) |
| VDD, GND | Power supply terminals | 5 V logic/analog supply and ground; decoupling required per datasheet layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated track-and-hold | Eliminates need for external S/H circuitry when digitizing ≤10 kHz signals |
| No external clock required | Half-flash architecture self-times conversion; reduces BOM and layout complexity |
| Two-mode digital interface | Mode 0 (WAIT-based) and Mode 1 (non-WAIT) support broad microprocessor compatibility |
| Differential reference inputs | Enable flexible input scaling, offset adjustment, and ratiometric measurement (e.g., sensor bridges) |
| Channel-to-channel matching | ±1/4 LSB max mismatch ensures consistent gain/offset across all 8 channels |
Applications

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 package (N-28), same pinout, but ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error vs. ±1 LSB | Required where higher DC accuracy is critical (e.g., precision calibration fixtures) | Select AD7828LN if tighter error budget justifies cost premium; otherwise AD7828KN suffices for general-purpose DAQ |
| MAX195BCPP | 5 V, 16-bit, 100 kSPS serial-output ADC; no built-in track-and-hold; requires external REF | Used where resolution >8 bits is mandatory, but adds SPI interface complexity and external S/H | Choose MAX195BCPP only when 16-bit resolution is non-negotiable; AD7828KN offers simpler parallel interface and integrated S/H |
Compared with AD7828LN, AD7828KN trades 0.5 LSB accuracy for lower cost and broader availability; versus MAX195BCPP, it provides faster per-channel throughput (50 kHz vs. 100 kSPS shared across channels), native 8-channel mux, and zero-latency track-and-hold - making AD7828KN optimal for cost-sensitive, real-time 8-channel systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency the AD7828KN can accurately digitize without an external sample-and-hold?
The AD7828KN can accurately digitize full-scale sinusoidal inputs up to 10 kHz without external sample-and-hold circuitry. This is enabled by its inherent track-and-hold function, which stabilizes the input for ~1 µs after conversion start. The specification assumes 157 mV/µs slew rate and ±1 LSB total unadjusted error across the 0°C to 70°C operating range of the AD7828KN.
Does the AD7828KN require an external clock signal to operate?
No, the AD7828KN does not require an external clock signal. Its half-flash conversion architecture self-times the process using internal timing circuitry. Conversion is initiated solely by asserting CS and RD, making the AD7828KN compatible with microprocessors lacking dedicated ADC clock resources - a key design advantage over SAR or sigma-delta ADCs.
Can the AD7828KN interface directly with a Z80 microprocessor, and which mode should be used?
Yes, the AD7828KN interfaces directly with the Z80 microprocessor using Mode 0 operation. In this configuration, the RDY output drives the Z80's WAIT input, extending the instruction cycle until conversion completes. This eliminates software polling and ensures deterministic timing - a documented implementation shown in Figure 16 of the AD7828KN datasheet.
What is the meaning of "N-28" in the AD7828KN ordering code?
"N-28" denotes the package type: a 28-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP) with 0.6" body width and 0.1" lead pitch. This through-hole package is specified in the AD7828KN ordering guide and matches JEDEC standard MS-011AB. It is distinct from surface-mount variants like R-28 or Q-28, and confirms mechanical compatibility with legacy DIP sockets and wave-solder processes.
How does the AD7828KN handle reference voltage configuration for bipolar input ranges?
The AD7828KN supports bipolar operation via differential reference inputs (VREF(+) and VREF(–)). For example, setting VREF(+) = +2.5 V and VREF(–) = –2.5 V yields an ±4 V input range with complementary offset binary output. This configuration requires external op-amp conditioning (e.g., AD544) as shown in Figure 12 of the AD7828KN datasheet - the AD7828KN itself does not generate negative references.
