Product details
Overview
AD7862BR-3 from Analog Devices is a dual 12-bit simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with ±2.5 V input range, 250 kSPS throughput, 3.6 µs conversion time, and integrated +2.5 V reference. It preserves phase coherence between channel A (VA1/VA2) and channel B (VB1/VB2) for synchronized acquisition in motor control and power monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7862BR-3 datasheet, AD7862BR-3 pinout, AD7862BR-3 application, or AD7862BR-3 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed timing behavior, and real-world use context - all grounded in Analog Devices' official documentation for the BR-3 variant.
Technical Context
The AD7862BR-3 implements two independent 4 µs successive approximation ADCs with matched track-and-hold amplifiers, enabling true simultaneous sampling across four analog inputs (VA1/VA2/VB1/VB2). Its aperture delay matching is ≤200 ps, and small-signal bandwidth exceeds 3 MHz - critical for preserving inter-channel phase integrity in AC motor current sensing.
It uses an internal laser-trimmed clock oscillator and supports high-speed parallel readout via 12-bit TTL-compatible outputs (DB0–DB11), with CS/RD/CONVST/BUSY control logic. The device operates from a single +5 V supply and enters automatic power-down mode post-conversion, drawing only 25 µA in standby.

Pinout & Package
AD7862BR-3 is housed in a 28-lead Small Outline Package (SOIC, R-28) with exposed pad thermal enhancement per Analog Devices' ordering guide. Pin 1 and Pin 28 are No Connect (NC); Pins 16 and 27 are AGND; Pin 7 is DGND; Pin 24 is VDD (+5 V).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CONVST (Pin 8) | Convert Start Input | Falling-edge-triggered global sample command - simultaneously freezes both track/holds to preserve inter-channel phase alignment. |
| BUSY (Pin 23) | Conversion Status Output | Active-high open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; goes low when both 12-bit results are latched and ready for read. |
| A0 (Pin 20) | Multiplexer Select | Controls read sequence: A0 low → first RD reads VA1/VB1; A0 high → second RD reads VA2/VB2 - enables interleaved dual-channel data access. |
| VREF (Pin 19) | Reference I/O | Provides buffered +2.5 V internal reference (±10 mV @ 25°C); also accepts external 2.5 V reference to override internal source for improved accuracy. |
| VA1/VA2/VB1/VB2 (Pins 25/18/26/17) | Analog Inputs | Four dedicated inputs grouped into two synchronous channels (A and B), each supporting ±2.5 V range with ±7 V overvoltage tolerance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous Sampling | Two matched track/hold amplifiers with ≤200 ps aperture delay matching - preserves phase relationship between VA and VB channels for vector-controlled drives. |
| Integrated Reference | +2.5 V internal reference with 25 ppm/°C tempco and ±25 mV total error over –40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for external reference in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Overvoltage Protection | ±7 V absolute max on analog inputs - withstands transient surges common in industrial motor drive feedback paths without latch-up or damage. |
| Low-Power Auto-Sleep | Reduces IDD to 25 µA between conversions - extends battery life in portable power analyzers and reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts. |
| High-Speed Parallel Interface | 12-bit TTL-compatible bus with 60 ns data access time - interfaces directly to legacy microcontrollers (e.g., 8051, TMS320C2xx) without glue logic. |
Applications
| AC Motor Current Sensing | Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Monitoring |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time sampling of phase currents in three-phase inverters for field-oriented control (FOC). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel simultaneous ADC capturing IA and IB at exact same instant to compute rotor flux angle.

Use Scenario: Digitizing baseband I/Q signals in narrowband wireless modems (e.g., NB-IoT, LoRa gateways). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Simultaneous sampling of in-phase and quadrature analog paths prior to digital modulation. Use Value: Channel isolation >80 dB prevents I/Q crosstalk that would degrade EVM in QPSK/QAM constellations. |
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-3 | 14-bit resolution, same pinout and interface; higher SNR (74 dB), longer conversion time (4.5 µs). | Required where 0.006% FSR resolution is needed (e.g., high-accuracy energy metering), not for standard motor control. | Select AD7863AR-3 only if 14-bit precision justifies added cost and slightly reduced speed. |
| ADS8325IPFB | Single 16-bit SAR ADC, serial SPI interface, no simultaneous sampling; 100 kSPS, ±10 V range. | Suitable for non-synchronous, lower-speed measurements (e.g., sensor calibration), not phase-critical dual-channel acquisition. | Choose ADS8325IPFB only for space-constrained designs needing higher resolution without inter-channel timing constraints. |
Compared with AD7862BR-3, AD7863AR-3 offers higher resolution at the expense of 25% slower conversion, while ADS8325IPFB sacrifices simultaneity and speed for 16-bit depth and serial simplicity - neither is pin-compatible, and both require layout changes and firmware adaptation.

FAQ
What is the analog input voltage range supported by the AD7862BR-3?
The AD7862BR-3 supports a bipolar ±2.5 V analog input range across all four inputs (VA1, VA2, VB1, VB2), with overvoltage tolerance up to ±7 V. This range is factory-configured and cannot be reconfigured - it differs from the ±10 V range of the AD7862BR-10 and the 0 V to +2.5 V range of the AD7862BR-2. The AD7862BR-3 uses twos complement output coding.
How does the AD7862BR-3 achieve simultaneous sampling across two channels?
The AD7862BR-3 achieves true simultaneous sampling using two physically matched track-and-hold amplifiers triggered by a single CONVST falling edge. Both amplifiers enter hold mode at the same instant, with aperture delay matching ≤200 ps - ensuring phase coherence between VA and VB channel acquisitions. This is verified in the AD7862 datasheet's "Aperture Delay Matching" specification.
Can the AD7862BR-3 operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7862BR-3 can use an external +2.5 V reference applied to the VREF pin (Pin 19), which overrides the internal reference. The reference input is buffered and accepts ±100 µA, making it compatible with precision references like the AD780 or REF43. Using an external reference improves gain accuracy and temperature stability beyond the internal ±25 mV total error.
What is the power consumption of the AD7862BR-3 during active conversion?
The AD7862BR-3 consumes 60 mW typical (15 mA at +5 V) during normal conversion operation, and drops to 75 µW typical (25 µA) in standby mode after conversion completes. This automatic power-down behavior is inherent to the part's design and requires no software control - it resumes full operation before the next CONVST pulse.
Is the AD7862BR-3 pin-compatible with other variants in the AD7862 family?
Yes, all AD7862 variants - including AD7862BR-3, AD7862BR-10, and AD7862BR-2 - share identical 28-pin SOIC (R-28) pinouts and parallel interface timing. However, input ranges, output coding (twos complement vs. straight binary), and internal scaling resistors differ - so PCB layout is interchangeable, but system-level signal conditioning and firmware interpretation must match the specific variant's configuration.
