Product details
Overview
AD7853ANZ 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 integrates on-chip 2.5 V reference, self/system calibration, and SPI/8051-compatible serial interface. Designed for portable instrumentation, it delivers ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity, 70 dB SNR at 10 kHz input, and 4.6 µs conversion time with 12 mW power dissipation at 3 V.
For engineers reviewing the AD7853ANZ datasheet, AD7853ANZ pinout, AD7853ANZ application, or AD7853ANZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, calibrated DC and dynamic performance data, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases in battery-powered systems, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The AD7853ANZ employs 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). Its calibration memory retains offset/gain coefficients across power cycles.
It supports five serial interface modes via SM1/SM2 pins, including external-clock (SCLK input) and self-clocking (SCLK output) configurations, with POLARITY pin selecting SCLK idle state. Conversion is initiated by CONVST edge or software write to control register.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7853LNZ | Same pinout and interface, but rated for 100 kSPS and 6.85 mW at 3 V - lower speed, 43% less power than AD7853ANZ | Optimized for ultra-low-power applications where throughput >100 kSPS is unnecessary, e.g., slow-scan sensors | Select AD7853LNZ when battery life is prioritized over sampling rate; verify timing margins for 100 kSPS system requirements |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, SPI-only interface, 2.7–5.25 V supply, no internal reference - requires external 2.5 V reference and decoupling | Used in cost-sensitive industrial controls where external reference improves long-term stability beyond internal 2.5 V option | Select ADS7822U when higher reference accuracy or flexibility is required; accept added BOM cost and layout complexity |
Compared with AD7853LNZ and ADS7822U, the AD7853ANZ uniquely combines 200 kSPS throughput, integrated 2.5 V reference, and system calibration in a DIP package - making it optimal for legacy-compatible, medium-speed, self-contained analog acquisition where board space and calibration simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7853ANZ?
The AD7853ANZ supports a maximum throughput rate of 200 kSPS, achieved with a 4 MHz master clock (CLKIN). This corresponds to a minimum conversion time of 4.6 µs and enables accurate digitization of input signals up to 100 kHz under Nyquist criteria. The part maintains specified DC accuracy and dynamic performance (70 dB SNR) at this rate when using the internal 2.5 V reference and proper external decoupling capacitors on CREF1 and CREF2.
Does the AD7853ANZ require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7853ANZ does not require an external reference voltage because it integrates a 2.5 V internal reference that appears on the REFIN/REFOUT pin. This reference is factory-trimmed and stable over temperature (20 ppm/°C typical). However, the pin can be overdriven with an external reference from 1.2 V to AVDD if higher accuracy or different voltage scaling is needed - in which case CREF1 and CREF2 must still be populated per the datasheet.
How does the AD7853ANZ handle power management in portable applications?
The AD7853ANZ implements three power states: normal (12 mW at 3 V), partial power-down (400 µA), and full power-down (5 µA). The SLEEP pin controls entry into low-power modes, and automatic power-down activates after each conversion completes. Calibration data is retained in all modes. This enables burst-sampling architectures where the ADC wakes, converts, transmits data, and returns to 5 µA sleep - extending battery life in handheld medical and test equipment.
Can the AD7853ANZ perform system-level calibration with external components?
Yes, the AD7853ANZ supports system calibration to compensate for gain and offset errors introduced by external signal-conditioning circuitry. Using the CAL pin and control register, users can apply known reference voltages to AIN(+) and AIN(–) and execute system offset and full-scale calibration sequences. The allowable calibration spans are ±0.05 × VREF for offset and ±0.025 × VREF for gain, ensuring robust compensation of front-end amplifier and resistor network errors.
What package type is used for the AD7853ANZ and is it RoHS-compliant?
The AD7853ANZ is packaged in a 24-lead plastic DIP (N-24) with 0.3-inch width, through-hole mounting, and standard lead finish. Per Analog Devices' official product documentation and packaging data, the AD7853ANZ is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The device carries the "N" suffix per the ordering guide, confirming the DIP package variant.
