Product details
Overview
AD7863ARS-3REEL from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, simultaneous-sampling 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with ±2.5 V input range, 5.2 μs conversion time, and single 5 V supply operation. It integrates two track-and-hold amplifiers, internal 2.5 V reference, and high-speed parallel interface - enabling phase-coherent acquisition in motor control and power quality monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7863ARS-3REEL datasheet, AD7863ARS-3REEL pinout, AD7863ARS-3REEL application, or AD7863ARS-3REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous dual-channel sampling capability, aperture delay matching ≤350 ps, channel-to-channel isolation of −86 dB, and support for 175 kSPS throughput in Mode 1 operation.
Technical Context
The AD7863ARS-3REEL implements two independent successive approximation register (SAR) ADCs sharing a common CONVST trigger and BUSY status signal. Each ADC uses a dedicated track-and-hold amplifier with 7 MHz small-signal bandwidth and 35 ns maximum aperture delay, ensuring precise phase alignment between VA1/VA2 or VB1/VB2 pairs.
It operates in two modes: high-speed Mode 1 (5.2 μs conversion, 175 kSPS) and auto-power-down Mode 2 (10.0 μs effective conversion, 105 μW max standby). Input scaling is fixed per variant: AD7863ARS-3REEL supports only ±2.5 V bipolar input range with twos-complement output coding and 3 kΩ input resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - guarantees monotonic transfer function with no missing codes over full temperature range. |
| Conversion Time | 5.2 μs (Mode 1) - enables 175 kSPS sustained sampling rate per channel without pipeline latency. |
| Analog Input Range | ±2.5 V - matches standard signal processing levels; supports overvoltage tolerance up to ±7 V without damage. |
| Channel Isolation | −86 dB - minimizes crosstalk between Channel A and B during simultaneous acquisition of differential signals. |
| Aperture Delay Matching | ≤350 ps - preserves sub-degree phase coherence between sampled VA1/VA2 or VB1/VB2 waveforms. |
| Power Dissipation | 70 mW typical (Mode 1), 105 μW max (Mode 2) - enables use in thermally constrained or battery-backed data loggers. |
| Reference Source | Internal 2.5 V ±10 mV (25°C), 25 ppm/°C TC - eliminates need for external reference in cost-sensitive industrial designs. |
Pinout & Package
AD7863ARS-3REEL is housed in a 28-lead SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.635 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. The package is RoHS-compliant and rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VA1, VA2 | Channel A analog inputs | Accept ±2.5 V differential pair; sampled simultaneously on CONVST falling edge. |
| VB1, VB2 | Channel B analog inputs | Alternate input pair selected via A0; identical electrical specs to VA1/VA2. |
| CONVST | Convert Start input | Edge-triggered control: falling edge initiates simultaneous hold and conversion on both channels. |
| BUSY | Status output | Active-high open-drain signal indicates conversion in progress; goes low when results are ready. |
| A0 | Multiplexer select | Static logic input determining whether VA1/VA2 (A0 = low) or VB1/VB2 (A0 = high) are converted. |
| CS, RD | Parallel interface controls | Standard TTL-compatible chip select and read strobe for 14-bit data bus (DB0–DB13). |
| VREF | Reference I/O | 2.5 V output (buffered) or input; internal reference enabled by default; 5.5 kΩ source impedance limits external loading. |
| AGND, DGND | Analog/digital ground | Separate ground pins required for optimal SNR; must be connected at single point on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous dual-channel sampling | Preserves phase relationship between VA1/VA2 or VB1/VB2 inputs - critical for vector motor control and power factor analysis. |
| Internal 2.5 V reference | Eliminates external reference component while maintaining ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C and 25 ppm/°C drift - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Overvoltage protection | Withstands ±7 V on analog inputs without latch-up or parametric shift - simplifies front-end protection design in noisy industrial environments. |
| Auto power-down mode | Reduces quiescent current to 20 μA max after conversion completes - extends battery life in portable measurement equipment. |
| High-speed parallel interface | 14-bit TTL-compatible bus with <35 ns CONVST pulse width and <45 ns RD pulse width - interfaces directly with legacy microcontrollers and DSPs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7656ASTZ | 6-channel, 16-bit SAR ADC; 3.5 μs conversion; requires external reference; higher power (110 mW) | Supports more input channels but lacks integrated ±2.5 V scaling - needs external op-amp gain stages for same input range. | Choose when higher resolution (16-bit) and multi-channel count outweigh board space and power constraints. |
| ADS8556IPMR | 6-channel, 16-bit simultaneous-sampling ADC; 1.25 MSPS; 3.3 V supply; SPI interface only | No parallel interface; incompatible with legacy 80C196/MC68000 buses; requires FPGA or microcontroller with SPI master support. | Prefer when migrating to modern digital interfaces and higher throughput is mandatory, accepting redesign of host interface logic. |
Compared with AD7863ARS-3REEL, AD7656ASTZ offers greater channel density and resolution but increases system complexity with external reference and scaling; ADS8556IPMR delivers higher speed and resolution but abandons the parallel bus - making AD7863ARS-3REEL optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial controllers retaining legacy MCU interfaces.

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the AD7863ARS-3REEL?
The AD7863ARS-3REEL supports a bipolar analog input range of ±2.5 V, optimized for signal processing applications. This range is factory-configured and not user-selectable; overvoltage protection allows transient excursions up to ±7 V without damage. Input resistance is specified at 3 kΩ, and the device uses twos-complement output coding for this variant. The AD7863ARS-3REEL does not support ±10 V or 0 V to 2.5 V ranges - those require AD7863-10 or AD7863-2 variants respectively.
How does the AD7863ARS-3REEL achieve simultaneous sampling across two channels?
The AD7863ARS-3REEL achieves true simultaneous sampling using two matched track-and-hold amplifiers triggered by a single CONVST falling edge. Both amplifiers enter hold mode at the same instant, freezing their respective input voltages (e.g., VA1 and VA2) with ≤350 ps aperture delay matching. This preserves relative phase information between sampled signals - a requirement verified in the datasheet's dynamic specifications and essential for vector control and power analysis. Conversion proceeds in parallel within the same 5.2 μs window.
Can the AD7863ARS-3REEL operate with an external reference?
Yes, the AD7863ARS-3REEL can operate with an external 2.5 V reference applied to the VREF pin, though its internal 2.5 V reference is enabled by default. When using the internal reference, two 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors must be placed from VREF to AGND. External references must meet ±0.5% initial accuracy and <10 ppm/°C drift to avoid degrading the AD7863ARS-3REEL's specified gain error (±8 LSB max). Reference errors directly translate to full-scale gain errors in the AD7863ARS-3REEL output.
What are the timing requirements for reading conversion results from the AD7863ARS-3REEL?
After BUSY goes low, the first RD pulse reads the result from VA1 (if A0 = low) or VB1 (if A0 = high); the second RD pulse reads VA2 or VB2. Minimum RD pulse width is 45 ns, with 30 ns minimum data access time after RD falling edge. Consecutive reads require ≥10 ns spacing, and a 400 ns quiet period must precede the next CONVST pulse to ensure valid acquisition. These timings are validated under load conditions defined in Figure 3 of the AD7863ARS-3REEL datasheet.
Is the AD7863ARS-3REEL pin-compatible with other AD7863 variants?
Yes, the AD7863ARS-3REEL is pin-compatible with AD7863-10 and AD7863-2 in the same SSOP package - all share identical pinout, interface signaling, and timing. However, input range, output coding (twos-complement vs. straight binary), and input resistance differ between variants. No PCB changes are required when substituting among AD7863 variants, but firmware must be updated to handle different full-scale ranges and code formats. The AD7863ARS-3REEL specifically uses twos-complement coding for its ±2.5 V range.
