Product details
Overview
AD7851KRZ-REEL 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, self/system calibration, and flexible SPI/QSPI/8051-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 5 V supply, delivers ±1 LSB DNL (K grade), and supports dual input ranges (0 V to VREF and ±VREF/2) for precision signal acquisition in high-speed data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7851KRZ-REEL datasheet, AD7851KRZ-REEL pinout, AD7851KRZ-REEL application, or AD7851KRZ-REEL equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented functional differences, and application-specific implementation guidance - all grounded in the official AD7851 Rev. B datasheet and ordering guide.
Technical Context
The AD7851KRZ-REEL implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated track-and-hold, charge redistribution DAC, and comparator. Its pseudo-differential input stage acquires signals in 3.5 µs (max) and supports two user-selectable voltage ranges via the AMODE pin.
Calibration is performed using on-chip registers: self-calibration corrects offset and gain errors over temperature, while system calibration allows external circuit error correction. The serial interface supports five configurable modes-including master-clock-driven and self-clocked variants-with programmable polarity (POLARITY pin) and synchronization (SYNC).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - delivers 16,384 discrete output codes for high-fidelity digitization of analog sensor or signal chain outputs. |
| Throughput Rate | 285 kSPS - enables real-time sampling of audio-band and control-loop signals up to ~140 kHz Nyquist frequency. |
| Differential Nonlinearity | ±1 LSB max - guarantees monotonicity and absence of code misses across full operating temperature range (0°C to +85°C). |
| Input Voltage Ranges | 0 V to VREF (unipolar) or ±VREF/2 (bipolar) - selectable via AMODE pin; supports both single-ended referenced and centered differential measurements. |
| Reference Source | Internal 4.096 V ±0.5% (REFIN/REFOUT pin) - eliminates need for external reference; supports overdrive with external 4 V–5.25 V sources. |
| Power Dissipation | 60 mW typ (normal mode); 5 µW typ (full power-down) - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or thermally constrained systems. |
| Serial Interface Compatibility | 8051/SPI/QSPI/P - interoperates with common microcontrollers without level-shifting or protocol translation hardware. |
Pinout & Package
The AD7851KRZ-REEL is housed in a 24-lead SOIC package (R-24 footprint, 0.3-inch width), RoHS-compliant (Z suffix), tape-and-reel format (REEL suffix). Pin assignments are identical across PDIP, SOIC, and SSOP variants per datasheet Figure 7 (PINOUT FOR DIP, SOIC, AND SSOP).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CONVST | Convert Start Input | Edge-triggered control: rising edge initiates hold-and-convert sequence; required for synchronous sampling timing control. |
| BUSY | Conversion Status Output | Active-high open-drain signal indicates ongoing conversion or calibration; used for polling or interrupt-driven readout. |
| SLEEP | Power-Down Control | Logic low disables internal reference and analog circuitry, reducing current to 10 µA (ext clock off); retains calibration data. |
| REFIN/REFOUT | Reference I/O | Provides 4.096 V internal reference; accepts external 4–5.25 V reference; requires CREF1/CREF2 decoupling capacitors. |
| AIN(+), AIN(–) | Pseudo-Differential Analog Inputs | Support unipolar (0–VREF) or bipolar (±VREF/2) ranges; AIN(–) must be biased appropriately per AMODE setting. |
| AMODE | Analog Range Select | Logic 0 = 0 V to VREF; Logic 1 = –VREF/2 to +VREF/2 - configures transfer function and input biasing requirements. |
| DIN/DOUT/SCLK/SYNC | Serial Interface Signals | Support 3-wire SPI (DIN/DOUT/SCLK), 2-wire 8051 (DIN/SCLK), or self-clocked modes (SCLK output); SYNC enables multi-device synchronization. |
| POLARITY | Interface Clock Polarity | Selects SCLK edge sensitivity: HIGH = data sampled on SCLK↑; LOW = data sampled on SCLK↓ - ensures timing compatibility with host controller. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single 5 V supply operation | Eliminates dual-rail power design complexity; AVDD and DVDD tied together simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count. |
| On-chip self- and system calibration | Enables drift compensation over temperature and time without external calibration hardware; offset/gain registers accessible via serial interface. |
| Pseudo-differential input architecture | Rejects common-mode noise on AIN(+) and AIN(–) while supporting both unipolar and bipolar signal conditioning topologies. |
| Five configurable serial interface modes | Permits direct connection to 8051, ADSP-21xx, TMS320Cxx, and QSPI hosts - avoids glue logic or firmware protocol translation layers. |
| Low-power sleep mode (5 µW typ) | Extends battery life in portable instrumentation; retains calibration state during wake-up, eliminating recalibration overhead. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7851ARZ-REEL | A-grade variant: ±2 LSB DNL, rated –40°C to +85°C, 333 kSPS throughput. | Preferred where wider temperature range or higher speed is required; not suitable for 125°C ambient. | Select AD7851ARZ-REEL if system operates below 0°C or requires >285 kSPS sampling. |
| ADS8325IPW | Texas Instruments 16-bit, 100 kSPS SAR ADC; SPI-only interface; no on-chip reference; external REFIO required. | Higher resolution but lower speed; lacks self-calibration and dual-range input; requires external reference design. | Choose ADS8325IPW only when 16-bit resolution outweighs need for calibration autonomy and input flexibility. |
Compared with AD7851KRZ-REEL, the AD7851ARZ-REEL offers higher speed and extended cold-temperature operation but sacrifices DNL performance, while the ADS8325IPW trades calibration convenience and input versatility for increased resolution - making AD7851KRZ-REEL optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding, or calibration-critical 14-bit applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the AD7851KRZ-REEL?
The AD7851KRZ-REEL is specified for operation from 0°C to +85°C, with guaranteed performance up to +125°C at reduced throughput (238 kSPS). This K-grade rating makes it suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial ranges but do not reach the –40°C lower limit of the A-grade variants.
Does the AD7851KRZ-REEL require external reference components?
Yes, the AD7851KRZ-REEL requires two external capacitors: a 0.1 µF ceramic + 470 nF tantalum pair on CREF1, and a 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor on CREF2. These stabilize the internal 4.096 V reference and charge redistribution DAC. No external voltage reference IC is needed unless overriding the internal reference via the REFIN/REFOUT pin.
How does the AMODE pin affect analog input configuration in the AD7851KRZ-REEL?
The AMODE pin selects between two input ranges: logic low configures unipolar mode (0 V to VREF), requiring AIN(–) ≥ AGND and AIN(+) ≥ AIN(–); logic high enables bipolar mode (±VREF/2), requiring AIN(–) biased to VREF/2 and AIN(+) ≥ 0 V. This determines transfer function, coding (straight binary vs. two's complement), and external biasing network design.
Can the AD7851KRZ-REEL perform calibration without host processor intervention?
Yes, the AD7851KRZ-REEL supports automatic self-calibration on power-up and can execute full system calibration autonomously via the CAL pin. When CAL is pulsed high, the device performs offset and gain calibration using internal DACs and reference - no serial commands or host timing control are required for basic calibration sequences.
What serial interface modes does the AD7851KRZ-REEL support, and how are they selected?
The AD7851KRZ-REEL supports five serial interface modes selected by SM1/SM2 pin states and POLARITY pin level. Modes include 2-wire 8051 (SM1=0, SM2=0), 3-wire SPI/QSPI (SM1=1, SM2=0), QSPI with separate SYNC (SM1=1, SM2=1), and two self-clocked variants (SM1=0, SM2=1). Mode selection is hardware-configured at power-on and cannot be changed dynamically.
