Product details
Overview
AD7828LNZ 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, ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error, 2.5 µs per-channel conversion time, and 0 V to 5 V analog input range - used in multichannel data acquisition systems for industrial monitoring and real-time signal analysis.
For engineers reviewing the AD7828LNZ datasheet, AD7828LNZ pinout, AD7828LNZ application, or AD7828LNZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated DIP-28 package mapping, confirmed microprocessor interface timing (Mode 0/1), and two documented alternative parts with functional and application-level distinctions.
Technical Context
The AD7828LNZ employs a half-flash architecture: two 4-bit flash ADCs (MSB and LSB) plus an internal 4-bit DAC reconstruct the analog input to generate full 8-bit output. Its track-and-hold function is inherent to the comparator switching structure, requiring no external circuitry for ≤10 kHz signals (157 mV/µs slew rate).
Digital control uses only CS and RD lines - no external clock needed - with address inputs A0–A2 selecting among eight analog channels. It supports two modes: Mode 0 (WAIT-state microprocessors like Z80/MC68000) and Mode 1 (non-WAIT systems like TMS32010), each with distinct timing constraints on tCRD (2.8 µs max), tP (600 ns min), and INT/RDY behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8 bits - delivers 256 discrete digital codes across full-scale range |
| Total Unadjusted Error | ±1/2 LSB max - guarantees monotonicity and eliminates need for user trimming |
| Conversion Time | 2.8 µs max (T/U grade) - enables 50 kHz per-channel sampling on all 8 inputs |
| Analog Input Bandwidth | 10 kHz - supports full-scale sinusoidal signals without external sample-and-hold |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±5% - simplifies system power design; no dual or split supplies required |
| Power Dissipation | 50 mW typ - low thermal load suitable for dense PCB layouts |
| Input Leakage Current | ±3 µA max - minimizes loading error with high-impedance sensor sources |
Pinout & Package
AD7828LNZ is supplied in a 28-pin plastic DIP (N-28) package, 0.6" wide, with 0.1" lead pitch and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 identifier is a notch or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise from top-left corner when viewed from top.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0, A1, A2 | Multiplexer Address Inputs | Select one of eight analog input channels (AIN1–AIN8); latched on rising edge of RD in Mode 1 |
| AIN1–AIN8 | Analog Input Channels | Single-ended, 0 V to 5 V range; internally multiplexed to shared ADC core |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; initiates conversion when pulled low with RD in Mode 0 |
| RD | Read Strobe | Active-low control; triggers conversion start and enables data bus output |
| RDY | Ready Output | Open-drain status signal; goes high-impedance at end of conversion to indicate valid data |
| INT | Interrupt Output | Active-low pulse signaling completion of conversion; resets on rising edge of CS or RD |
| DB0–DB7 | Data Bus Outputs | Three-state, TTL-compatible outputs delivering 8-bit natural binary result |
| VREF (+), VREF (–) | Differential Reference Inputs | Define full-scale range; support ratiometric measurement and offset-adjustable input spans |
| VDD, GND | Power Supply | Single 5 V supply; GND serves as analog and digital reference common |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Half-flash conversion architecture | Eliminates need for external clock and reduces conversion latency vs. SAR or sigma-delta ADCs |

| Microprocessor-compatible interface | Direct connection to Z80, MC68000, or TMS32010 using standard memory or I/O read cycles |
| Channel-to-channel matching | ±1/4 LSB max mismatch ensures consistent gain/offset across all 8 inputs for multi-sensor systems |
| Flexible reference configuration | VREF (+)/VREF (–) differential pair allows unipolar (0–5 V), bipolar (±4 V), or scaled ranges |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multichannel 8-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7828KN | Same architecture and pinout; ±1 LSB total unadjusted error (vs. ±1/2 LSB for AD7828LNZ) | Commercial temp range (0°C to 70°C) identical; lower accuracy spec suits cost-sensitive non-critical sensing | Select AD7828KN where 1 LSB error is acceptable and budget constraints outweigh precision requirements |
| MAX195BCPP | 5 V, 16-bit, single-channel SAR ADC; no internal MUX or track-and-hold; requires external clock and driver | Higher resolution but lacks multichannel capability - necessitates external analog multiplexer and THS for 8-input use | Choose MAX195BCPP only when 16-bit resolution is mandatory and system can accommodate added external components and timing complexity |
Compared with AD7828KN, AD7828LNZ provides tighter accuracy without layout or interface changes; compared with MAX195BCPP, it delivers integrated 8-channel sampling at 1/3 the component count and zero clock overhead - critical for compact, deterministic real-time systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for AD7828LNZ?
The AD7828LNZ is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. This range is defined by its "L" grade designation and is validated across all electrical specifications including ±1/2 LSB total unadjusted error, 2.5 µs conversion time, and 10 kHz analog input bandwidth. Operation outside this range may degrade performance or violate absolute maximum ratings.
Does AD7828LNZ require an external clock signal?
No, the AD7828LNZ does not require an external clock. Its half-flash conversion architecture generates timing internally using CS and RD control signals only. This eliminates clock distribution, jitter concerns, and external oscillator components - a key advantage over SAR or sigma-delta ADCs. The AD7828LNZ relies solely on microprocessor-compatible strobes for full operation.
Can AD7828LNZ perform bipolar input measurements?
Yes, the AD7828LNZ supports bipolar operation via external op-amp conditioning (e.g., AD544) and differential reference configuration. With VREF (–) set to 2.5 V and VREF (+) to 5 V, it achieves ±4 V input range and complementary offset binary output coding. The device itself is unipolar, but its fully differential reference inputs enable robust ratiometric and offset-adjusted measurement schemes.
What package type is used for AD7828LNZ?
The AD7828LNZ is packaged in a 28-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP), designated N-28 per Analog Devices' ordering guide. It measures 0.600" × 0.300" with 0.1" lead pitch, features through-hole mounting, and complies with JEDEC MS-011AB standards. No surface-mount variants (e.g., SOIC or PLCC) are assigned to the "LNZ" suffix.
How does the built-in track-and-hold function work in AD7828LNZ?
The AD7828LNZ's track-and-hold is inherent to its half-flash architecture: during conversion initiation, input switches connect the selected channel to both MSB and LSB comparators simultaneously for ~1 µs, capturing the instantaneous value before digitization. This eliminates external THS components while supporting full-scale 10 kHz signals (157 mV/µs slew rate) - verified in TPC 3 and operational diagrams.
