Product details
Overview
AD7853LBNZ from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, pseudo-differential successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter optimized for low-power operation at up to 100 kSPS, featuring on-chip 2.5 V reference, self- and system-calibration, and SPI/8051-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 3 V to 5.5 V supply, consumes 4.5 mW at 3 V, and targets battery-powered instrumentation requiring stable DC accuracy and fast acquisition (500 ns track/hold).
For engineers reviewing the AD7853LBNZ datasheet, AD7853LBNZ pinout, AD7853LBNZ application, or AD7853LBNZ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, calibrated DC and dynamic performance specs (±1 LSB INL, 71 dB SNR), real-world use cases in portable medical devices and modem front-ends, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The AD7853LBNZ implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, internal 2.5 V reference, and calibration memory. Its pseudo-differential input supports unipolar (0 to VREF) and bipolar (±VREF/2) ranges via AMODE control, with AIN(+) and AIN(–) referenced to AGND and bounded by AVDD.
Serial communication uses configurable interface modes (selected by SM1/SM2) supporting external-clock (SPI/QSPI/8051) or self-clocking operation, with POLARITY defining SCLK idle state. Calibration is triggered by CAL pin or software write, covering offset, gain, and full self-calibration sequences timed to CLKIN (1 MHz max for AD7853L).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 1 LSB = 0.024% of full-scale range for precise sensor digitization |
| Throughput Rate | 100 kSPS - enables real-time sampling of audio-band and control-loop signals without oversampling |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB max - guarantees monotonicity and ≤1 LSB code-width error across full temperature range |
| SNR + THD | 71 dB min at 10 kHz - supports >11.5 effective bits for clean signal capture in noisy environments |
| Supply Range | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - allows direct integration with Li-ion (3.3 V/3.6 V) or legacy 5 V systems |
| Power Dissipation | 4.5 mW at 3 V - reduces thermal load and extends battery life in portable PDAs and medical monitors |
| Track/Hold Acquisition | 500 ns - ensures accurate sampling of fast transients without external hold circuitry |
Pinout & Package
AD7853LBNZ is housed in a 24-lead narrow-body SOIC (SOIC_N-24) package with 0.3-inch width and standard JEDEC MS-013 footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CONVST | Convert Start Input | Edge-triggered control initiating track-to-hold transition and conversion start; tied to DVDD if unused |
| 2 BUSY | Conversion Status Output | Active-high open-drain signal indicating active conversion or calibration; used for handshaking with µC |
| 3 SLEEP | Low-Power Mode Control | Logic 0 powers down all analog/digital blocks except calibration memory; retains calibration data |
| 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 | Accepts unipolar (0 to VREF) or bipolar (±VREF/2) input ranges; AIN(–) must be biased per AMODE setting |
| 11 NC | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain floating - no PCB trace or solder connection |
| 13 AMODE | Analog Range Select | Logic 0 configures 0 to VREF unipolar range; Logic 1 configures ±VREF/2 bipolar range |
| 14 POLARITY | SCLK Idle State Control | Defines active edge of SCLK: Logic 1 → SCLK idles high (rising-edge sampled); Logic 0 → idles low |
| 15 SM1, 16 SM2 | Serial Interface Mode Select | Two-pin encoding selects among five SPI/8051/QSPI-compatible modes including self-clocking and frame-sync |
| 17 CAL | Calibration Trigger | Rising edge initiates self- or system-calibration; 10 nF capacitor to DGND enables auto-cal on power-up |
| 20 DOUT, 21 DIN | Serial Data I/O | 16-bit serial word interface; DIN becomes bidirectional in self-clocking modes (SM1/SM2 = 11) |
| 22 CLKIN | Master Clock Input | 1 MHz clock sets conversion time (10 µs) and calibration duration; duty cycle 40/60 to 60/40 |
| 23 SCLK | Serial Clock I/O | Configured as input or output based on SM1/SM2; frequency ≤4 MHz in external-clock modes |
| 24 SYNC | Frame Sync I/O | Functions as chip-select input or frame-sync output depending on serial mode configuration |

| Flexible serial interface (SPI/QSPI/8051 compatible) | Five programmable modes enable seamless integration with diverse microcontrollers without protocol translation logic |
| Automatic power-down after conversion | Reduces average current to 1.9 mA (3 V) or 5.5 mA (5 V) during idle periods, critical for intermittent-sampling applications |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7476AARMZ | 1 MSPS throughput, no on-chip reference, 3.6 mW at 3 V, 10-lead MSOP package | Better speed for burst-mode sampling; requires external reference and decoupling; smaller footprint | Select when >100 kSPS is required and board space is constrained; verify external reference stability meets ±1 LSB INL |
| ADS7822U | 100 kSPS, 2.7 V–5.25 V supply, 3.3 mW at 3 V, 8-pin SOIC, no internal reference | Lower power and smaller package but lacks calibration memory and bipolar input support | Choose for ultra-low-power, cost-sensitive designs where system-level calibration is handled externally and only unipolar inputs are needed |
Compared with AD7853LBNZ, AD7476AARMZ trades integrated calibration and reference for higher speed and smaller size, while ADS7822U reduces cost and power at the expense of on-chip features - making AD7853LBNZ optimal for applications demanding guaranteed linearity without external calibration infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7853LBNZ?
The AD7853LBNZ supports a maximum throughput rate of 100 kSPS under specified conditions (CLKIN = 1.8 MHz for 0°C to +70°C, 1 MHz for –40°C to +85°C). This rate is fixed by its internal SAR architecture and timing constraints - exceeding it risks incomplete conversions or BUSY timeout errors. The AD7853LBNZ achieves this while maintaining ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity and 71 dB SNR+THD, making it suitable for audio-band and control-loop sampling where deterministic latency matters.
Does the AD7853LBNZ require external reference components?
Yes, the AD7853LBNZ requires two external capacitors: a 0.1 µF multilayer ceramic capacitor (CREF1) and a 0.01 µF ceramic disc capacitor (CREF2), both connected between their respective pins (CREF1, CREF2) and AGND. These stabilize the internal reference and DAC charge redistribution network. While the device provides a 2.5 V REFOUT, omitting either capacitor degrades INL and increases noise - datasheet testing confirms ±1 LSB INL only with both capacitors installed per Figure 1 and Pin Descriptions.
How does the AMODE pin affect analog input configuration on the AD7853LBNZ?
The AMODE pin on the AD7853LBNZ selects between two analog input ranges: Logic 0 configures unipolar mode (0 to VREF), where AIN(+) must stay ≥ AIN(–) and ≥ AGND; Logic 1 configures bipolar mode (±VREF/2), requiring AIN(–) to be biased to +VREF/2 so AIN(+) can swing from 0 V to +VREF. This dual-range capability eliminates need for external level-shifting circuitry - critical for applications like pen-computer pressure sensing (bipolar) and temperature monitoring (unipolar) using same AD7853LBNZ hardware.
Can the AD7853LBNZ perform calibration without processor intervention?
Yes, the AD7853LBNZ supports autonomous power-up calibration: connecting a 10 nF capacitor from the CAL pin to DGND triggers full self-calibration on rising VDD. This sequence adjusts offset and gain errors using on-chip calibration memory, completing in ~27.78 ms (at 1.8 MHz CLKIN) or ~31.25 ms (at 1 MHz). No µC firmware or serial commands are needed - the device powers up ready for accurate conversion, satisfying requirements for "set-and-forget" portable instrumentation where boot-time calibration reliability is mandatory.
What package type is used for the AD7853LBNZ and is it RoHS compliant?
The AD7853LBNZ uses a 24-lead narrow-body SOIC (SOIC_N-24) package with 0.3-inch width and standard JEDEC MS-013 outline. Per Analog Devices' official product documentation and packaging data sheets, this variant is RoHS compliant (Pb-free lead finish, halogen-free molding compound) and rated for commercial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). The 'N' suffix in the ordering code (e.g., AD7853LBNZ) explicitly denotes the SOIC package option, distinct from DIP ('AN') or SSOP ('ARS') variants.
