Product details
Overview
AD7862AR-2 from Analog Devices is a dual 12-bit simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with four analog inputs grouped into two synchronized channels (A and B), unipolar 0 V to +2.5 V input range, 3.6 µs conversion time, and high-speed parallel interface. It preserves phase coherence between channel pairs for precision motor control and power monitoring applications.
For engineers reviewing the AD7862AR-2 datasheet, AD7862AR-2 pinout, AD7862AR-2 application, or AD7862AR-2 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed unipolar 0–2.5 V operation mode, and real-world timing behavior - all critical for deterministic sampling in closed-loop industrial systems.
Technical Context
The AD7862AR-2 integrates two independent successive-approximation ADCs, each paired with a track-and-hold amplifier, enabling true simultaneous sampling of VA1/VA2 or VB1/VB2 on falling CONVST edge. Its internal +2.5 V reference is buffered and accessible at VREF, supporting straight binary output coding optimized for unipolar signal chains.
Conversion control uses a single CONVST pulse to initiate concurrent hold-and-convert operations; BUSY remains high for 3.6 µs before results become available via 12-bit parallel bus (DB0–DB11) under CS/RD strobing. A0 selects channel group (A or B), determining read sequence order without reconfiguration delay.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - guarantees monotonic transfer function with no missing codes over full temperature range. |
| Conversion Time | 3.6 µs max - enables 250 kSPS throughput per channel with deterministic latency for real-time control loops. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to +2.5 V - unipolar configuration eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry in sensor front-ends. |
| Reference Voltage | +2.5 V internal (±10 mV @ 25°C) - provides stable gain reference; external 2.5 V sources can override for tighter accuracy. |
| Aperture Delay Matching | 200 ps typ - ensures sub-degree phase alignment between sampled channels for accurate vector measurements. |
| Power Dissipation | 60 mW typ @ 5 V - low quiescent consumption supports portable or thermally constrained embedded designs. |
| Channel Isolation | –80 dB max @ 100 kHz - prevents crosstalk-induced measurement error in multi-signal acquisition systems. |
Pinout & Package
AD7862AR-2 is housed in a 28-lead Small Outline Package (SOIC, R-28), with exposed pad not present and RoHS-compliant lead finish. Pin 1 is NC; pins 16 and 27 are AGND; pin 7 is DGND; pin 24 is VDD (+5 V ±5%); and pin 19 is VREF (2.5 V reference I/O).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 28 | NC | No internal connection - must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
| 2–6, 9–15 | DB11–DB0 | 12-bit parallel data bus - outputs straight binary code (0–4095) for VA1/VA2 or VB1/VB2 depending on A0 state. |
| 7 | DGND | Digital ground reference - separate from AGND to minimize digital noise injection into analog path. |
| 8 | CONVST | Active-high conversion start - falling edge triggers simultaneous track-to-hold transition on both channels. |
| 16, 27 | AGND | Analog ground - common return for mux, track/hold, reference, and analog inputs; requires star grounding. |
| 17–18, 25–26 | VB2, VA2, VA1, VB1 | Four analog inputs - VA1/VA2 form Channel A; VB1/VB2 form Channel B; all accept 0–2.5 V unipolar signals. |
| 19 | VREF | Reference I/O - supplies or accepts +2.5 V reference; internal buffer has 2 kΩ output impedance and ±25 mV total error over temp. |
| 20 | A0 | Multiplexer select - low = read VA1 then VA2; high = read VB1 then VB2; determines channel group during parallel reads. |
| 21 | CS | Chip select - active-low enable for data bus; must be asserted before RD to avoid bus contention. |
| 22 | RD | Read strobe - active-low signal that latches DB0–DB11 output; timing relative to CS and A0 defines data validity window. |
| 23 | BUSY | Status flag - high during conversion (3.6 µs), low when results are ready for read access via DB bus. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous sampling & conversion | Preserves phase relationship between dual-channel inputs - essential for vector-controlled AC drives and differential sensor pairs. |
| Unipolar 0 V to +2.5 V input range | Eliminates need for external biasing or rail-splitting networks - simplifies interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and current-output sensors. |
| Internal +2.5 V reference with external override | Reduces BOM count while allowing precision system-level referencing using AD780 or REF43 if required. |
| Overvoltage protection | Withstands up to +7 V on analog inputs without damage - protects against transient surges in industrial environments. |
| Low-power auto-sleep mode | Draws only 25 µA standby current - extends battery life in portable DAQ systems without sacrificing wake-up latency. |
Applications
| AC Motor Control | Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7863AR-2 | 14-bit resolution, same pinout and timing; higher resolution but increased power (85 mW typ) and cost. | Required where >12-bit dynamic range is needed for high-fidelity audio or precision metrology. | Select AD7863AR-2 only if 14-bit ENOB is mandatory; otherwise AD7862AR-2 offers optimal balance of speed, accuracy, and power. |
| ADS8325IPW | Single 16-bit SAR ADC with serial interface (SPI), no simultaneous sampling; 250 kSPS, 0–5 V input range. | Suitable for non-phase-critical applications where space or interface simplicity outweighs dual-channel sync needs. | Choose ADS8325IPW for compact PCB layouts or SPI-based microcontrollers; avoid when inter-channel timing correlation is required. |
Compared with AD7863AR-2, AD7862AR-2 trades 2 bits of resolution for lower power and proven thermal stability in extended industrial temperature ranges; compared with ADS8325IPW, it delivers hardware-enforced simultaneity and parallel throughput - eliminating software synchronization overhead in time-critical control systems.

FAQ
What is the analog input voltage range supported by the AD7862AR-2?
The AD7862AR-2 supports a unipolar analog input range of 0 V to +2.5 V on all four inputs (VA1, VA2, VB1, VB2). This is distinct from other variants like AD7862AR-10 (±10 V) and AD7862AR-3 (±2.5 V). The 0–2.5 V range aligns directly with common 3.3 V system references and eliminates the need for external level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with current-output sensors or I/V converters.
Does the AD7862AR-2 use twos complement or straight binary output coding?
The AD7862AR-2 uses straight (natural) binary output coding - unlike AD7862AR-10 and AD7862AR-3, which use twos complement. For a full-scale 0–2.5 V input, the digital output spans 0x000 (0 V) to 0xFFF (2.5 V), with 1 LSB = 0.61 mV. This simplifies firmware interpretation in unipolar applications and avoids sign-extension logic in microcontroller code handling the AD7862AR-2.
How does the AD7862AR-2 achieve simultaneous sampling across two channels?
The AD7862AR-2 achieves true simultaneous sampling via dual independent track-and-hold amplifiers triggered synchronously on the falling edge of the CONVST signal. Both amplifiers enter hold mode at the same instant, freezing analog inputs VA1/VA2 or VB1/VB2 concurrently. This hardware-level synchronization - with aperture delay matching of 200 ps typ - preserves phase relationships critical for vector calculations in motor control and power analysis applications using the AD7862AR-2.
What is the role of the A0 pin on the AD7862AR-2?
The A0 pin on the AD7862AR-2 selects the analog channel group for sequential parallel reads: when A0 is low, the first RD pulse after conversion returns VA1 data and the second returns VA2 data; when A0 is high, the first RD returns VB1 and the second returns VB2. This multiplexer control enables efficient access to both inputs per channel without reconfiguring control lines - a key timing advantage in high-throughput systems using the AD7862AR-2.
Can the AD7862AR-2 operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7862AR-2 can operate with an external +2.5 V reference applied to the VREF pin. The internal reference is overridden when an external source with sufficient drive capability (>±100 µA) is connected. This allows system-level referencing using precision sources like AD780 or REF43 to improve overall gain accuracy beyond the internal reference's ±25 mV max error over temperature - a capability fully supported in all operating modes of the AD7862AR-2.
