Product details
Overview
AD7829BRZ from Analog Devices is an 8-bit, 2 MSPS, 8-channel parallel-output analog-to-digital converter with on-chip 2.5 V reference, track-and-hold amplifier, and automatic power-down. It operates from single 3 V ±10% or 5 V ±10% supply and delivers 420 ns conversion time for high-speed data acquisition in DSP front ends and mobile communication subsampling systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7829BRZ datasheet, AD7829BRZ pinout, AD7829BRZ application, or AD7829BRZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation guidance, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and layout implications.
Technical Context
The AD7829BRZ uses a half-flash ADC architecture: a 4-bit flash stage generates MSBs, followed by a second flash stage for LSBs-achieving full 8-bit resolution in ≤420 ns. Its track-and-hold acquires input in ≤200 ns and supports full-scale signals up to 10 MHz, enabling direct RF subsampling without external anti-alias filtering in select applications.
Channel selection is performed via three address inputs (A0–A2), independent of data bus activity; conversion is initiated by falling edge on CONVST, and end-of-conversion is signaled by EOC pulse. Power-down is automatically triggered when CONVST is low at EOC assertion-no separate control logic required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit straight binary output-supports 256 discrete levels with no missing codes guaranteed across temperature. |
| Max Throughput | 2 MSPS-enables real-time sampling of baseband or IF signals up to 10 MHz without undersampling artifacts. |
| Conversion Time | 420 ns max-defines minimum inter-conversion interval; allows ≥2.38 µs dead time for microprocessor read cycle. |
| Input Span | 0 V to 2.5 V p-p at 5 V supply or 0 V to 2 V p-p at 3 V supply-configurable center point via VMID pin for single-supply op amp interfacing. |
| SNR @ 30 kHz | 48 dB min-translates to effective resolution of ~7.7 bits; sufficient for voice-band and medium-fidelity sensor digitization. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.75 LSB max each-ensures monotonicity and <0.3% full-scale linearity error over industrial temperature range. |
| Power Dissipation | 36 mW max at 3 V (normal operation)-enables battery-powered portable instrumentation with thermal budget headroom. |
Pinout & Package
AD7829BRZ is housed in a 28-lead SOIC package (width: 0.300", body: 17.9 mm × 7.5 mm) with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 marked by beveled corner; exposed pad not present.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1–VIN8 | Analog Input Channels | Eight single-ended inputs; default span = 0 V to 2.5 V (5 V supply) or 0 V to 2 V (3 V supply); centered via VMID. |
| A0, A1, A2 | Channel Address Inputs | Binary-select active analog channel prior to CONVST falling edge; no register write required. |
| CONVST | Convert Start / Power-Down Control | Falling edge initiates conversion; sampled at EOC rising edge-if low, device enters auto power-down mode. |
| EOC | End-of-Conversion Output | Active-low pulse (≥70 ns wide) signals valid data ready; usable as interrupt source for µP/DSP. |
| RD & CS | Parallel Interface Enable | Both must be low to drive DB0–DB7; RD controls data bus release timing (t9 = 10/20 ns access time). |
| DB0–DB7 | 8-Bit Data Outputs | High-impedance until RD/CS asserted; CMOS-compatible levels (VOH ≥2.4 V @ 3 V, VOL ≤0.2 V @ 3 V). |
| VREF IN/OUT | Reference I/O | Supplies or sinks 2.5 V ±2% internal reference; can accept external 2.5 V source for improved stability. |
| VMID | Input Span Center Reference | Sets common-mode voltage for all VIN channels; default = 1.25 V (5 V) or 1.0 V (3 V) if left open. |
| VDD, AGND, DGND | Supply & Grounds | Single 3 V or 5 V supply; analog/digital grounds tied at package for noise isolation-no split-plane routing needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 420 ns conversion time | Enables >2 MSPS throughput while leaving ≥2.38 µs per sample for µP processing or memory write cycles. |
| On-chip 2.5 V reference (±2%) | Eliminates external reference IC and decoupling components-reduces BOM count and board area by ≥3 parts. |
| Automatic power-down on CONVST low | Reduces average current from 12 mA to 5 µA between conversions-ideal for burst-mode sensing applications. |
| Track-and-hold FPBW = 10 MHz | Supports accurate digitization of full-scale sine waves up to 10 MHz-validates use in IF sampling architectures. |
| Channel selection via A0–A2 pins | Removes need for SPI/I²C configuration registers-simplifies firmware and enables deterministic channel switching. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit, multi-channel, parallel-output ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7825BRZ | 4-channel version, same 2 MSPS speed, identical pinout except A2 and VIN5–VIN8 omitted; PD pin present. | Limited to 4 inputs; requires PCB redesign if expanding beyond 4 sensors; retains same timing and interface compatibility. | Select AD7825BRZ only when system requires ≤4 analog inputs and space/power constraints favor smaller package. |
| MAX1186ECM+ | 8-channel, 2 MSPS, but uses serial SPI interface (not parallel); 3 V only; no on-chip reference-requires external 2.048 V ref. | Requires FPGA/microcontroller SPI peripheral and additional reference IC; eliminates 8-bit data bus but increases firmware complexity. | Choose MAX1186ECM+ only when board layout prioritizes pin count reduction over deterministic parallel read timing. |
Compared with AD7829BRZ, AD7825BRZ offers identical performance in a reduced channel count with no change to timing or power architecture, while MAX1186ECM+ trades parallel simplicity for serial interface flexibility and higher component count.

FAQ
What is the maximum input frequency the AD7829BRZ can accurately digitize?
The AD7829BRZ track-and-hold amplifier has a full-power bandwidth (FPBW) of 10 MHz, meaning it can accurately capture full-scale sine wave inputs up to that frequency without slew-induced distortion. This makes AD7829BRZ suitable for subsampling applications where aliasing is intentionally used to down-convert IF signals-provided input anti-alias filtering meets Nyquist criteria for the desired band.
Does the AD7829BRZ require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7829BRZ includes an on-chip 2.5 V reference with ±2% initial accuracy and 50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The VREF IN/OUT pin can be left unconnected for basic operation, or decoupled with a 0.1 µF capacitor to AGND. An external 2.5 V reference may be applied to improve stability in precision applications-but AD7829BRZ does not require it for functional operation.
How does automatic power-down work on the AD7829BRZ?
At the end of each conversion, the AD7829BRZ samples the logic level on the CONVST pin. If CONVST is low when the EOC signal goes high, the device enters power-down mode, reducing supply current from 12 mA to 5 µA. This feature is enabled by default and requires no additional control lines-making AD7829BRZ ideal for burst-mode or event-triggered acquisition systems.
Can the AD7829BRZ operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes-the AD7829BRZ supports 3 V ±10%, i.e., 2.7 V to 3.3 V nominal operation. At 3.3 V, input span defaults to 0 V to 2 V p-p, and logic thresholds adjust accordingly (VINH ≥2.0 V, VINL ≤0.4 V). All timing parameters-including 420 ns conversion time and 200 ns acquisition-remain fully specified across this range, as confirmed in the Rev. C datasheet Table 1 and Table 2.
What is the purpose of the VMID pin on the AD7829BRZ?
The VMID pin sets the center voltage of the AD7829BRZ's analog input span. When left unconnected, it defaults to 1.0 V (3 V supply) or 1.25 V (5 V supply), establishing a 0 V to 2 V or 0 V to 2.5 V input range. Connecting an external voltage to VMID shifts the entire input window-e.g., applying 2.0 V centers the range at 2.0 V, allowing ±1.0 V differential input on a single 3 V rail-critical for interfacing with single-supply op amps.
