Product details
Overview
AD7853BNZ 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/QSPI/8051-compatible serial interface, and 24-lead PDIP package. Used in battery-powered instrumentation requiring high accuracy and low power.
For engineers reviewing the AD7853BNZ datasheet, AD7853BNZ pinout, AD7853BNZ application, or AD7853BNZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed calibration behavior, real-world timing constraints (4.6 µs conversion time), and two documented alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The AD7853BNZ implements a 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) selected via AMODE pin. Calibration logic supports automatic power-up self-calibration and user-initiated system calibration using external reference inputs.
Its serial interface supports five modes via SM1/SM2 pins, including external-clock (SCLK input) and self-clocking (SCLK output) configurations, with POLARITY pin controlling SCLK idle state. Power management includes full and partial power-down modes controlled by PMGT bits in the control register.

Pinout & Package
AD7853BNZ is supplied in a 24-lead plastic DIP (N-24) package with 0.3 inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is located at bottom-left corner when notch faces upward.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CONVST | Convert Start input | Edge-triggered control initiating T/H hold and conversion; must be tied to DVDD if unused |
| 2 BUSY | Conversion status output | Active-high open-drain signal indicating active conversion or calibration sequence |
| 3 SLEEP | Power-down control | Logic 0 disables all circuitry except calibration memory; retains calibration data |
| 4 REFIN/REFOUT | Reference I/O | Provides 2.5 V internal reference or accepts external 1.2 V–VDD reference source |
| 5 AVDD | Analog supply | +3.0 V to +5.5 V analog rail; must be decoupled to AGND with low-ESR capacitor |
| 6,12 AGND | Analog ground | Common return for analog circuitry; separate from DGND to minimize noise coupling |
| 9 AIN(+), 10 AIN(–) | Pseudo-differential inputs | Support unipolar (0 to VREF) or bipolar (±VREF/2) ranges via AMODE pin selection |
| 13 AMODE | Analog range select | Logic 0 = 0 to VREF; Logic 1 = ±VREF/2 - configures input topology before conversion |
| 17 CAL | Calibration trigger | Rising edge initiates self-calibration; 10 nF cap to DGND enables auto-cal on power-up |
| 18 DVDD | Digital supply | +3.0 V to +5.5 V digital rail; must be within ±0.3 V of AVDD per absolute max ratings |
| 19 DGND | Digital ground | Return path for digital I/O; isolated from AGND to prevent ground bounce interference |
| 20 DOUT | Serial data output | 16-bit MSB-first output; three-state controlled by SYNC in non-self-clocking modes |
| 21 DIN | Serial data input | 16-bit command/data input; bidirectional in self-clocking modes (SCLK output) |
| 22 CLKIN | Master clock input | 4 MHz nominal - sets conversion time (4.6 µs) and calibration duration |
| 23 SCLK | Serial clock | I/O pin whose direction (input/output) and idle state (high/low) depend on SM1/SM2/POLARITY |
| 24 SYNC | Frame synchronization | Chip-select-like input or frame-sync output depending on serial mode configuration |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7853BNZ?
The AD7853BNZ supports a maximum sampling rate of 200 kSPS, achieved with a 4 MHz master clock (CLKIN). This corresponds to a 4.6 µs conversion time and enables accurate digitization of signals up to 100 kHz under Nyquist criteria. The part maintains specified DC accuracy and dynamic performance (71 dB SNR, –78 dB THD) at full throughput. AD7853BNZ does not support oversampling modes beyond its rated 200 kSPS.
Does the AD7853BNZ require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7853BNZ includes an internal 2.5 V reference with 20 ppm/°C tempco, sufficient for most applications. However, it also supports external reference voltages from 1.2 V to AVDD applied to the REFIN/REFOUT pin. When using an external reference, the internal reference is disabled, and CREF1/CREF2 capacitors remain required for DAC charge redistribution. AD7853BNZ operates correctly with either configuration.
How does the AD7853BNZ handle power management during idle periods?
The AD7853BNZ offers three power states: normal (20 mW), partial power-down (400 µA), and full power-down (5 µA with clock off). Entry is controlled via the SLEEP pin and PMGT bits in the control register. Calibration data is retained in all modes. Automatic power-down occurs after conversion completion unless disabled. AD7853BNZ resumes conversion within microseconds upon SLEEP deassertion.
Can the AD7853BNZ perform system-level calibration with external components?
Yes, the AD7853BNZ supports system calibration using external gain and offset sources. Its CAL pin triggers calibration sequences, and the REFIN/REFOUT pin accepts external references. The device defines allowable calibration spans: ±0.05 × VREF for offset and ±0.025 × VREF for gain. These values constrain the maximum correctable external error in systems using AD7853BNZ with precision op-amps or sensor conditioners.
What serial interface protocols does the AD7853BNZ support out-of-the-box?
The AD7853BNZ natively supports SPI, QSPI, and 8051-compatible serial interfaces through five selectable modes configured by SM1 and SM2 pins. No firmware or external logic is required to adapt to these protocols. The POLARITY pin selects SCLK idle state (high/low), and SYNC acts as chip select or frame sync depending on mode. AD7853BNZ delivers 16-bit MSB-first data with configurable three-state control.
