Product details
Overview
AD7859ASZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 8-channel, 200 kSPS sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated track-and-hold, on-chip reference, and parallel interface. It operates from a single 3 V to 5.5 V supply, supports unipolar (0 to VREF) and bipolar (±VREF/2) input ranges, and delivers 70 dB SNR at 10 kHz input. It is used in portable instrumentation and battery-powered data acquisition systems requiring high throughput and low power.
For engineers reviewing the AD7859ASZ-REEL datasheet, AD7859ASZ-REEL pinout, AD7859ASZ-REEL application, or AD7859ASZ-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 kSPS conversion rate, self/system calibration capability, 44-pin PQFP package, flexible 16-/8-bit parallel I/O, and dual-mode (unipolar/bipolar) analog input support.
Technical Context
The AD7859ASZ-REEL employs a charge redistribution SAR architecture with a 500 ns track-and-hold acquisition time and internal 2.5 V reference (REFIN/REFOUT). Its control register enables software-configurable channel selection (8 single-ended or 4 pseudo-differential), analog mode (unipolar/bipolar), and power-down modes via PMGT1/PMGT0 bits.
Calibration is supported via dedicated CAL pin or software-triggered STCAL bit, covering offset, gain, and DAC calibration. Conversion timing is clock-driven (fCLKIN = 4 MHz), with BUSY signal indicating active conversion or calibration, and CONVST supporting both hardware and software start.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - provides 4096 discrete output codes for precision measurement applications. |
| Sampling Rate | 200 kSPS - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~90 kHz (Nyquist-limited) without aliasing. |
| Input Channels | 8-channel - configurable as 8 single-ended or 4 pseudo-differential inputs via control register. |
| SNR | 70 dB min @ 10 kHz - ensures high-fidelity digitization of medium-frequency analog signals. |
| Power Dissipation | 15 mW @ 3 V - supports extended operation in battery-powered systems with thermal constraints. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 to VREF (unipolar) or ±VREF/2 (bipolar) - accommodates both ground-referenced and AC-coupled sensor signals. |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V REFOUT - eliminates need for external reference; REFIN/REFOUT pin allows overdrive or bypass. |
Pinout & Package
AD7859ASZ-REEL is housed in a 44-pin plastic quad flatpack (PQFP) package, RoHS-compliant and tape-and-reel packaged (REEL suffix). Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch; pins are arranged in four 11-pin sides with NC (no-connect) pins at positions 1, 22, and 43.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN7 | Analog input channels | Accepts 8 single-ended or 4 pseudo-differential inputs; all must remain within AGND to AVDD. |
| REFIN/REFOUT | Reference input/output | Provides 2.5 V internal reference; can be overdriven externally or tied to AVDD for rail-to-rail input range. |
| CONVST | Hardware conversion trigger | Rising edge initiates conversion; may be left unconnected and replaced by software CONVST bit in control register. |
| BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output signals ongoing conversion or calibration; used for handshaking with host processor. |
| DB0–DB15 | Parallel data bus | 16-bit bidirectional interface; W/B pin selects word (16-bit) or byte (two 8-bit transfers) mode. |
| CS, RD, WR | Control strobes | Standard 3-wire parallel interface enabling register read/write with chip select and direction control. |
| CAL | Calibration initiator | Rising edge triggers full self-calibration; overrides all other operations and resets internal logic. |
| SLEEP | Power-down enable | Combined with PMGT1/PMGT0 bits to enter full or partial power-down; reduces IDD to ≤10 µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Self and system calibration | On-chip calibration memory and controller enable automatic correction of offset/gain errors over temperature and time-no external components required. |
| Flexible power management | Three power-down modes (full, partial, auto-after-conversion) reduce typical power from 15 mW to 3.6 µW, extending battery life in portable instruments. |
| Dual analog input modes | Software-selectable unipolar (0 to VREF) or bipolar (±VREF/2) ranges allow direct interfacing with both DC-coupled sensors and AC-coupled signal chains. |
| Configurable channel mapping | Control register bits SGL/DIFF, CHSLT[2:0], and AMODE define input topology (single-ended/differential), channel selection, and AIN(–) source (AGND or AIN8). |
| Integrated reference and capacitors | Internal 2.5 V reference with CREF1 (0.1 µF) and CREF2 (0.01 µF) support stable DAC operation-minimizes BOM count and layout sensitivity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, multi-channel, parallel-interface ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7859LARSZ-REEL | 100 kSPS max, 5.5 mW @ 3 V, 1.8 MHz CLKIN - lower speed and power than AD7859ASZ-REEL. | Optimized for ultra-low-power, lower-throughput systems (e.g., static sensor nodes); not suitable for 200 kSPS use cases. | Select AD7859LARSZ-REEL only when throughput ≤100 kSPS is acceptable and sub-6 mW power is mandatory. |
| AD7865BSUZ-REEL | 4-channel, 14-bit, 100 kSPS, SPI interface, 2.5 V internal ref - higher resolution but fewer channels and serial interface. | Lacks parallel bus and 8-channel flexibility; requires SPI host firmware changes and offers no W/B or HBEN functionality. | Choose AD7865BSUZ-REEL only if 14-bit resolution outweighs loss of parallel interface and channel count in new designs. |
Compared with AD7859LARSZ-REEL and AD7865BSUZ-REEL, the AD7859ASZ-REEL uniquely balances 200 kSPS throughput, 8-channel flexibility, parallel I/O, and on-chip calibration-making it optimal for legacy or resource-constrained microcontroller-based DAQ where timing determinism and minimal software overhead are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7859ASZ-REEL?
The AD7859ASZ-REEL supports a maximum sampling rate of 200 kSPS when operated with a 4 MHz master clock (CLKIN). This rate is achieved using its SAR architecture and internal track-and-hold, with conversion time fixed at 4.5 µs (18 × tCLKIN). The AD7859ASZ-REEL datasheet confirms this specification under AVDD = DVDD = 3.0 V to 5.5 V and TA = –40°C to +85°C.
Does the AD7859ASZ-REEL require external reference components?
No, the AD7859ASZ-REEL includes an internal 2.5 V reference accessible via the REFIN/REFOUT pin and requires only two external decoupling capacitors: CREF1 (0.1 µF ceramic) and CREF2 (0.01 µF ceramic), both connected to AGND. The part functions fully with this configuration and does not require an external reference IC unless higher accuracy or temperature stability is needed.
How is channel selection configured on the AD7859ASZ-REEL?
Channel selection on the AD7859ASZ-REEL is controlled by three bits (CHSLT2–CHSLT0) in the write-only control register, allowing selection among eight analog inputs (AIN0–AIN7) in single-ended mode or four differential pairs (e.g., AIN1–AIN2) in pseudo-differential mode. The SGL/DIFF bit determines topology, and AMODE further defines AIN(–) source (AGND or AIN8) in single-ended mode.
Can the AD7859ASZ-REEL operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the AD7859ASZ-REEL is fully specified for operation from 3.0 V to 5.5 V on both AVDD and DVDD supplies. At 3.3 V, it maintains 200 kSPS throughput, 70 dB SNR, and 15 mW typical power dissipation. Logic thresholds scale accordingly: VINH = 2.1 V min and VINL = 0.6 V max, ensuring compatibility with standard 3.3 V CMOS interfaces.
What calibration modes does the AD7859ASZ-REEL support?
The AD7859ASZ-REEL supports both self-calibration (using internal DAC and calibration memory) and system calibration (correcting external front-end errors). Calibration is initiated either by a rising edge on the CAL pin or via the STCAL bit in the control register. System calibration requires external voltage sources applied to AIN(+) and AIN(–) within defined spans (±0.05 × VREF for offset, ±0.025 × VREF for gain).
