Product details
Overview
AD7853AN from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 200 kSPS pseudo-differential successive-approximation ADC operating from a single 3 V to 5.5 V supply. It features on-chip 2.5 V reference, self- and system-calibration, flexible SPI/8051-compatible serial interface, and 24-pin PDIP package. Used in battery-powered instrumentation requiring high accuracy and low power.
For engineers reviewing the AD7853AN datasheet, AD7853AN pinout, AD7853AN application, or AD7853AN equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, calibrated DC accuracy (±1 LSB INL), dynamic performance (71 dB SNR), and validated alternative options for portable and embedded data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The AD7853AN implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold (500 ns acquisition), internal 2.5 V reference, and programmable analog input ranges (0 to VREF or ±VREF/2). Calibration logic supports automatic power-up self-calibration and user-initiated system calibration via the CAL pin.
Its serial interface supports five modes (SM1/SM2 configurable), including external-clock and self-clocking operation, with POLARITY-selectable SCLK edge triggering. Conversion is initiated by CONVST or software write, and BUSY indicates active conversion or calibration state.

Pinout & Package
AD7853AN is supplied in a 24-lead plastic dual-in-line package (N-24), 0.3 inch wide, with through-hole mounting and standard DIP footprint compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CONVST | Convert Start input | Edge-triggered command to latch analog input and begin conversion; required for hardware-started acquisition |
| 2 BUSY | Conversion status output | Active-high open-drain signal indicating ongoing conversion or calibration; used for polling or interrupt generation |
| 3 SLEEP | Power-down control | Logic-low entry into low-power mode (5 µA typical); retains calibration data and exits automatically on next CONVST or CAL |
| 4 REFIN/REFOUT | Reference I/O | Provides 2.5 V internal reference output or accepts external 1.2 V–VDD reference; requires CREF1/CREF2 decoupling |
| 9 AIN(+), 10 AIN(–) | Pseudo-differential analog inputs | Support unipolar (0 to VREF) or bipolar (±VREF/2) ranges; AIN(–) must be biased appropriately per AMODE setting |
| 11 NC | No-connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice |
| 13 AMODE | Analog range select | Logic-0 selects 0 to VREF; Logic-1 selects ±VREF/2 - determines input voltage translation and coding format |
| 14 POLARITY | SCLK idle state control | Defines active SCLK edge: Logic-1 → SCLK idles high (active low), Logic-0 → idles low (active high) |
| 15 SM1, 16 SM2 | Serial interface mode select | Configure among five SPI/8051/QSPI-compatible protocols including external clock, self-clock, and frame-sync modes |
| 17 CAL | Calibration trigger | Rising-edge initiates full self-calibration; optional 10 nF capacitor to DGND enables auto-cal on power-up |
| 20 DOUT, 21 DIN | Serial data I/O | 16-bit MSB-first interface; DIN functions as input or bidirectional depending on selected serial mode |
| 22 CLKIN | Master clock input | 4 MHz nominal clock sets conversion time (4.6 µs) and calibration duration; tolerant of 500 kHz–4 MHz range |
| 23 SCLK | Serial clock | Configured as input or output based on SM1/SM2; frequency up to 4 MHz in external-clock modes |
| 24 SYNC | Frame synchronization | Functions as chip-select input or frame-sync output depending on serial mode; enables multi-device daisy-chaining |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic power-up self-calibration | Eliminates manual calibration step and ensures ±1 LSB INL without external intervention at startup |
| Flexible serial interface (5 modes) | Interoperates with 8051, SPI, QSPI, and μP controllers without protocol translation hardware or firmware overhead |
| Configurable analog input ranges | Single pin (AMODE) switches between unipolar 0–VREF and bipolar ±VREF/2, supporting both sensor and AC-coupled signals |
| Low-power sleep mode | Reduces current to 5 µA (typ) with external clock off - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications |
| Integrated 2.5 V reference | Removes need for external precision reference; tempco of 20 ppm/°C maintains accuracy across –40°C to +85°C |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7853BN | Same package and pinout; improved ±0.5 LSB INL (B grade) at 5 V supply only | Preferred where tighter DC accuracy is required in fixed 5 V systems; not rated for 3 V operation | Select AD7853BN when 5 V rail is stable and ±0.5 LSB INL is mandatory; AD7853AN remains optimal for 3 V–5.5 V flexibility |
| AD7853LAN | Lower 100 kSPS throughput, 6.85 mW power at 3.6 V, identical pinout and calibration features | Targeted for ultra-low-power, lower-bandwidth applications such as static sensor monitoring | Choose AD7853LAN when sampling rate ≤100 kSPS suffices and sub-7 mW operation is critical; AD7853AN delivers 2× speed at modest power cost |
Compared with AD7853BN and AD7853LAN, the AD7853AN uniquely balances 200 kSPS speed, ±1 LSB INL across 3 V–5.5 V, and DIP-package availability-making it the default choice for general-purpose, mixed-supply, medium-speed data acquisition where calibration robustness and layout simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7853AN?
The AD7853AN supports a maximum throughput rate of 200 kSPS under specified conditions (4 MHz CLKIN, VDD = 3.0 V to 5.5 V). This is achieved with a 4.6 µs conversion time and requires proper timing alignment of CONVST, BUSY, and serial interface signals. The AD7853AN maintains this rate across its full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
Does the AD7853AN require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7853AN includes an internal 2.5 V reference with ±20 ppm/°C tempco, eliminating the need for an external reference in most applications. However, the REFIN/REFOUT pin can accept an external reference from 1.2 V to VDD if higher precision or different voltage scaling is required. When using the internal reference, CREF1 (0.1 µF) and CREF2 (0.01 µF) capacitors must be connected to AGND.
How does the AD7853AN handle calibration during power-up?
The AD7853AN supports automatic self-calibration on power-up when a 10 nF capacitor is connected between the CAL pin and DGND. This initiates a full self-calibration sequence (~31 ms at 4 MHz CLKIN) that corrects offset and gain errors, ensuring ±1 LSB INL without host processor involvement. If auto-cal is not needed, CAL should be tied to DVDD.
Can the AD7853AN operate from a 3 V supply?
Yes, the AD7853AN is fully specified for operation from 3.0 V to 5.5 V on both AVDD and DVDD. At 3 V, it delivers 20 mW power dissipation, ±1 LSB INL, and 200 kSPS throughput. All logic thresholds, reference behavior, and timing parameters are guaranteed across this range, making it ideal for single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline systems.
What serial interface protocols does the AD7853AN support?
The AD7853AN supports five configurable serial interface modes via SM1 and SM2 pins, compatible with 8051, SPI, QSPI, and generic microprocessor buses. Modes include external-clock read/write, self-clocking output, and frame-sync configurations. POLARITY pin selects SCLK idle state, enabling interoperability with diverse controller peripherals without level-shifting or protocol adaptation.
