Product details
Overview
AD7859LASZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 8-channel, pseudo-differential sampling ADC optimized for low-power operation at up to 100 kSPS, featuring on-chip self- and system calibration, flexible 16-/8-bit parallel interface, and operation from a single 3 V to 5.5 V supply. It supports unipolar (0 to VREF) and bipolar (±VREF/2) input ranges with straight binary or 2's complement output coding, and is used in battery-powered medical instruments and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7859LASZ-REEL datasheet, AD7859LASZ-REEL pinout, AD7859LASZ-REEL application, or AD7859LASZ-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 kSPS throughput, 5.5 mW typical power dissipation at 3 V, ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity, 44-pin PQFP package, and support for system-level offset/gain calibration - all critical for precision, low-power embedded data acquisition.
Technical Context
The AD7859LASZ-REEL employs a charge redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold (500 ns acquisition time), internal 2.5 V reference buffer, and programmable analog input configuration via control register bits SGL/DIFF and AMODE. Its calibration engine supports full self-calibration (31.25 ms at 1.8 MHz CLKIN) and system-level offset/gain correction using external reference inputs.
Power management is implemented through dual PMGT bits and the SLEEP pin, enabling three modes: normal (5.5 mA at 3 V), partial power-down (400 µA), and full power-down (5 µA with clock off). The parallel interface supports both 16-bit word and 8-bit byte transfers via W/B pin control, with RD/WR/CS timing compliant to 40 ns minimum pulse widths and 55 ns data access.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 1 LSB = 0.024% of full-scale range for high-fidelity signal digitization |
| Sampling Rate | 100 kSPS - enables real-time capture of signals up to 40 kHz (Nyquist-limited) in portable systems |
| INL | ±1 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and <0.025% end-point linearity error across temperature |
| Power Dissipation | 5.5 mW @ 3 V - supports >100-hour battery life in 3 V medical PDA applications |
| Input Range | 0 to VREF (unipolar) or ±VREF/2 (bipolar) - accommodates sensor outputs referenced to ground or mid-supply |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V REFOUT with 20 ppm/°C tempco - eliminates need for external precision reference in cost-sensitive designs |
| Supply Range | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - interoperable with Li-ion (3.3 V), alkaline (4.5 V), and USB-powered (5 V) platforms |
Pinout & Package
AD7859LASZ-REEL is housed in a 44-pin plastic quad flatpack (PQFP) package, RoHS-compliant and moisture-sensitive level 3. Pin layout supports standard PCB routing with 0.8 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN0–AIN7 | Analog Input Channels | Eight configurable inputs supporting single-ended or pseudo-differential pairs (e.g., AIN1+/AIN2−); all must remain within AGND to AVDD |
| REFIN/REFOUT | Reference I/O | Provides 2.5 V internal reference; accepts external 1.2 V–AVDD reference for system calibration or extended range |
| CONVST | Conversion Start Trigger | Rising-edge initiates sample-and-hold hold mode and conversion; may be hardware- or software-controlled via control register |
| BUSY | Status Output | Active-high open-drain signal indicates ongoing conversion or calibration; used for handshaking with host processor |
| DB0–DB15 | Parallel Data Bus | 16-bit bidirectional bus; W/B pin selects 16-bit word (DB0–DB15) or 8-bit byte mode (DB0–DB7 + DB8/HBEN) |
| SLEEP | Power-Down Control | Combined with PMGT[1:0] bits to select full (5 µA) or partial (400 µA) power-down; clock gating reduces leakage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip self- and system calibration | Eliminates manual trimming; corrects offset/gain drift over –40°C to +85°C without external equipment |
| Flexible 16-/8-bit parallel interface | Reduces host MCU pin count and simplifies firmware: byte mode uses only DB0–DB7 + HBEN for 8-bit microcontrollers |
| Configurable analog input modes | Single-ended (8 channels) or pseudo-differential (4 channels) via SGL/DIFF and AMODE bits - adapts to sensor topology |
| Low-power sleep states | Full power-down draws just 5 µA with clock disabled - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications |
| Integrated 2.5 V reference | 20 ppm/°C tempco and 150 kΩ input impedance enable stable conversions without external reference IC or op-amp buffering |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, multi-channel, low-power ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7859ASZ-REEL | Same 44-pin PQFP package and pinout; higher speed (200 kSPS) and higher power (15 mW @ 3 V) | Required where >100 kSPS sampling or faster calibration (27.8 ms vs. 31.25 ms) is needed | Select AD7859ASZ-REEL only if throughput >100 kSPS is mandatory; otherwise AD7859LASZ-REEL saves 63% power |
| ADS7822U | 8-channel, 12-bit, SPI interface; 200 kSPS; 3.3 V only; no on-chip reference or calibration | Used in space-constrained designs where serial interface reduces MCU pin count and board routing complexity | Choose ADS7822U when SPI compatibility and smaller SOIC-8 package outweigh need for calibration and parallel throughput |
Compared with AD7859ASZ-REEL, AD7859LASZ-REEL trades 100 kSPS for 63% lower active power and identical calibration capability; versus ADS7822U, it offers parallel interface speed and integrated calibration but requires more PCB area and pins.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7859LASZ-REEL?
The AD7859LASZ-REEL supports a maximum sampling rate of 100 kSPS, achieved with a 1.8 MHz master clock (CLKIN). This is specified for the L-version across the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. Conversion time is fixed at 18 × tCLKIN, resulting in 10 µs per conversion at 1.8 MHz. Exceeding this rate risks incomplete settling and increased INL error beyond ±1 LSB.
Does the AD7859LASZ-REEL require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7859LASZ-REEL does not require an external reference voltage. It features an internal 2.5 V reference available at the REFIN/REFOUT pin with 20 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. However, the pin can be overdriven with an external reference (1.2 V to AVDD) to enable system calibration or accommodate non-standard input ranges - a capability confirmed in the AD7859/AD7859L datasheet Rev. A, page 3.
How does the AD7859LASZ-REEL handle analog input configuration?
The AD7859LASZ-REEL supports both single-ended (8 channels) and pseudo-differential (4 channels) analog input configurations, selected via the SGL/DIFF bit (bit 13) and AMODE bit (bit 5) in the control register. In pseudo-differential mode, AIN1–AIN7 pair as positive/negative inputs (e.g., AIN1+/AIN2−); in single-ended mode, each AINx is referenced to AGND or AIN8. Configuration is software-defined and requires no external hardware changes.
What power-down modes are available on the AD7859LASZ-REEL?
The AD7859LASZ-REEL offers three power-down modes controlled by the SLEEP pin and PMGT[1:0] bits: normal operation (5.5 mA), partial power-down (400 µA with clock active), and full power-down (5 µA with clock disabled). Full power-down retains register contents and allows wake-up via CONVST or SLEEP edge. These modes are documented in the "Power Requirements" table (page 3) and "Power-Down Options" section (page 14) of the datasheet.
Is the AD7859LASZ-REEL pin-compatible with other members of the AD7859 family?
Yes, the AD7859LASZ-REEL is pin-compatible with AD7859ASZ-REEL and AD7859BSZ-REEL in the same 44-pin PQFP package. All share identical pin functions, electrical characteristics (except speed/power), and register map. This allows direct substitution in existing designs when lower power consumption is prioritized over maximum throughput - a key design flexibility highlighted in the AD7859/AD7859L Ordering Guide (page 5).
