Product details
Overview
AD7851KRZ from Analog Devices is a 14-bit, 285 kSPS serial analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with pseudo-differential input, on-chip 4.096 V reference, and self/system calibration capability. It operates from a single 5 V supply, features ±1 LSB DNL (K grade), 78 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and supports unipolar (0 V to VREF) and bipolar (±VREF/2) input ranges. It is used in high-speed DSP servo control and spectrum analysis systems requiring stable DC accuracy over temperature.
For engineers reviewing the AD7851KRZ datasheet, AD7851KRZ pinout, AD7851KRZ application, or AD7851KRZ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, calibrated DC accuracy specs, package-specific layout guidance, and validated alternative options for industrial signal acquisition designs.
Technical Context
The AD7851KRZ implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated track-and-hold, charge redistribution DAC, and comparator. Its conversion core completes in 3.25 µs (21 CLKIN cycles at 6 MHz), enabling 285 kSPS throughput in K-grade operation (0°C to +85°C).
It supports five configurable serial interface modes-including SPI/QSPI-compatible (Mode 2/3), 8051-compatible (Mode 1), and self-clocking (Modes 4/5)-with programmable polarity and synchronous data transfer via DIN/DOUT/SCLK/SYNC. Calibration is performed via dedicated CAL pin and internal registers, retaining offset/gain correction data in sleep mode.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed differential nonlinearity (DNL) specification for AD7851KRZ?
The AD7851KRZ is rated K grade with ±1 LSB maximum DNL across its full operating temperature range (0°C to +85°C), ensuring monotonicity and no missing codes at 14-bit resolution. This specification is verified post-calibration and applies under standard conditions: AVDD = DVDD = 5.0 V ±5%, fCLKIN = 6 MHz, and REFIN/REFOUT = 4.096 V external reference. The AD7851KRZ maintains this performance up to 125°C at reduced throughput (238 kSPS).
Does AD7851KRZ include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7851KRZ integrates a factory-trimmed 4.096 V bandgap reference with 50 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient. This reference appears on the REFIN/REFOUT pin and serves as the ADC's conversion基准. The pin supports overdriving with an external reference or bypassing entirely; CREF1 (0.1 µF) and CREF2 (0.01 µF) capacitors must be connected to AGND for stability, as specified in the AD7851KRZ datasheet.
How does the AMODE pin affect AD7851KRZ input configuration?
The AMODE pin on AD7851KRZ selects between two analog input voltage ranges: logic low configures unipolar mode (0 V to VREF), producing straight binary output; logic high enables bipolar mode (±VREF/2), yielding two's complement coding. In unipolar mode, AIN(+) must remain ≥ AIN(–); in bipolar mode, AIN(–) must be biased to VREF/2, and AIN(+) may go below it-but never below AGND. This dual-range flexibility simplifies interface to diverse sensor topologies.
Can AD7851KRZ perform calibration without host processor involvement?
Yes, the AD7851KRZ supports autonomous self-calibration triggered automatically on power-up, as well as manual system calibration initiated via the CAL pin. Both routines adjust internal offset and gain registers using the on-chip DAC and reference; calibration data persists in nonvolatile memory during SLEEP mode. No host firmware interaction is required for basic calibration-only CONVST and CAL pin control is needed for full system calibration sequences.
What serial interface protocols does AD7851KRZ support?
The AD7851KRZ supports five distinct serial interface modes: Mode 1 (2-wire 8051-compatible), Modes 2–3 (3-wire SPI/QSPI-compatible with configurable polarity), and Modes 4–5 (self-clocking where SCLK is generated internally from CLKIN). All modes use DIN, DOUT, SCLK, and SYNC signals; POLARITY pin selects rising/falling edge sampling. This multi-protocol compatibility enables drop-in integration with diverse microcontrollers including 8051, ADSP-21xx, TMS320C2x, and PIC families.
