Product details
Overview
AD7856KR-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 14-bit, 285 kSPS sampling ADC operating from a single 5 V supply, featuring eight single-ended or four pseudo-differential analog inputs, on-chip 4.096 V reference, and SPI/QSPI/μP-compatible serial interface. It delivers ±2 LSB integral nonlinearity, 78 dB SNR at 10 kHz input, and supports system calibration for precision instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7856KR-REEL7 datasheet, AD7856KR-REEL7 pinout, AD7856KR-REEL7 application, or AD7856KR-REEL7 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping to 24-lead SOIC, real-world timing behavior (5.25 µs max conversion time), power-down modes (2.5 mW typ), and calibrated DC accuracy across 0°C to +105°C operation.
Technical Context
The AD7856KR-REEL7 implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated track-and-hold, charge redistribution DAC, and self-calibration memory. Its K-grade rating specifies operation from 0°C to +105°C with 4 MHz master clock support and 102 kSPS typical throughput in standard mode.
It uses a flexible 3-wire serial interface (SYNC/SCLK/DIN/DOUT) supporting SPI Mode 2, with configurable read/write register addressing via control bits RDSLT1/RDSLT0 and CALSLT1/CALSLT0. Calibration is initiated via dedicated CAL pin or software-controlled STCAL bit in the control register.

Pinout & Package
AD7856KR-REEL7 is housed in a 24-lead small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package, 0.3 inch wide, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel format (REEL7). Pin layout matches industry-standard 24-pin SOIC footprint with 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CONVST | Convert Start Input | Edge-triggered command initiating track-to-hold transition and conversion sequence; tied high if unused. |
| 2 BUSY | Conversion Status Output | Active-high open-drain signal indicating active conversion or calibration; used for handshaking in polled systems. |
| 3 SLEEP | Power Management Input | Logic low enables full or partial power-down; retains calibration data and reference state during sleep. |
| 4 REFIN/REFOUT | Reference I/O | Provides 4.096 V internal reference; accepts external references from 1.2 V to AVDD for flexible scaling. |
| 5 AVDD, 6 AGND | Analog Supply & Ground | Separate analog domain supply (5.0 V ±5%) and ground minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog front-end. |

| 18 DVDD, 19 DGND | Digital Supply & Ground | Isolated 5.0 V ±5% digital rail prevents digital switching noise from modulating analog conversion accuracy. |
| 20 DOUT, 21 DIN | Serial Data I/O | 16-bit serial interface supports bidirectional communication; DIN functions as input or I/O depending on 2/3 MODE bit setting. |
| 22 CLKIN | Master Clock Input | Accepts 4 MHz clock for K-grade operation; defines conversion time (5.25 µs max), calibration duration, and timing margins. |
| 23 SCLK, 24 SYNC | Serial Interface Clock & Frame Sync | SCLK clocks data transfer; SYNC frames each 16-bit word-enables reliable communication with μP, SPI, or QSPI controllers. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7856AR-REEL7 | A-grade (-40°C to +105°C), 6 MHz CLKIN support, 285 kSPS guaranteed across full temp range | Required for extended industrial or automotive under-hood environments | Select AD7856AR-REEL7 when operation below 0°C or sustained >85°C ambient is required. |
| AD7682BCPZ-RL7 | 16-bit, 250 kSPS, SPI-only interface, no internal reference, requires external REF | Higher resolution needed; system already includes precision reference and can tolerate added component count | Choose AD7682BCPZ-RL7 only if 16-bit ENOB and lower THD (<–90 dB) are mandatory and board space permits external reference design. |
Compared with AD7856KR-REEL7, the AD7856AR-REEL7 extends temperature coverage but increases cost and power; the AD7682BCPZ-RL7 improves resolution and noise performance but removes integrated reference convenience and adds design complexity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AD7856KR-REEL7?
The AD7856KR-REEL7 is rated for operation from 0°C to +105°C, per its K-grade specification. This makes it suitable for commercial and industrial applications where ambient temperatures remain above freezing but may reach elevated levels near heat-generating components. The AD7856KR-REEL7 maintains ±2 LSB integral nonlinearity and 78 dB SNR across this full range after calibration.
Does the AD7856KR-REEL7 require an external reference voltage?
No-the AD7856KR-REEL7 includes an internal 4.096 V reference accessible at the REFIN/REFOUT pin, eliminating the need for an external reference in most applications. However, the device also supports external references from 1.2 V to AVDD, allowing users to optimize full-scale range or improve long-term stability with a higher-precision source. The AD7856KR-REEL7 automatically adapts its transfer function to the applied reference voltage.
How does the AD7856KR-REEL7 handle power management during idle periods?
The AD7856KR-REEL7 offers two programmable power-down modes controlled via PMGT1/PMGT0 bits in the control register: full shutdown (30 µA typ) and partial retention (400 µA typ). In both states, calibration data remains intact, and the internal reference stays stable. Power-down is triggered by pulling the SLEEP pin low or asserting the appropriate bits-enabling rapid wake-up (<1 µs) without recalibration. This behavior is fully documented for the AD7856KR-REEL7 in the Power-Down section of its datasheet.
Can the AD7856KR-REEL7 interface directly with an 8051 microcontroller?
Yes-the AD7856KR-REEL7's serial interface is explicitly designed to be compatible with 8051-family controllers, in addition to SPI and QSPI protocols. Its 3-wire mode (using SYNC, SCLK, and DIN/DOUT) aligns with standard 8051 GPIO timing constraints, and the control register supports software-initiated conversions via the CONVST bit-removing dependency on external hardware triggers. All timing parameters for 8051 interfacing are validated for the AD7856KR-REEL7 in the Timing Specifications table.
What calibration options are supported by the AD7856KR-REEL7?
The AD7856KR-REEL7 supports both self-calibration (on-chip DAC and reference) and system calibration (external gain/offset correction), selectable via the CALMD bit. Calibration can be initiated by the CAL pin or through software control using STCAL and CALSLT bits. Full self-calibration takes 62.5 ms (typ) at 4 MHz CLKIN. The AD7856KR-REEL7 retains calibration coefficients in on-chip memory, ensuring accuracy remains stable across power cycles and temperature excursions.
