Product details
Overview
AD7863ARZ-10 from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, simultaneous-sampling 14-bit analog-to-digital converter with ±10 V input range, 5.2 μs conversion time, and single 5 V supply operation. It integrates two track/hold amplifiers, internal 2.5 V reference, and high-speed parallel interface - designed for precision phase-coherent acquisition in motor control, power quality monitoring, and industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7863ARZ-10 datasheet, AD7863ARZ-10 pinout, AD7863ARZ-10 application, or AD7863ARZ-10 equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous dual-channel sampling capability, aperture delay matching ≤350 ps, ±10 V overvoltage tolerance (±17 V), 77 dB SNR at 175 kSPS, and lead-compatible upgrade path from AD7862.
Technical Context
The AD7863ARZ-10 implements two independent successive approximation register (SAR) ADCs sharing a common CONVST signal to enforce strict simultaneity. Each channel (A or B) selects two inputs (e.g., VA1/VA2) via A0, enabling synchronized sampling across four analog inputs while preserving inter-channel phase relationships.
Its internal 2.5 V reference drives both ADCs with ±10 mV error at 25°C and 25 ppm/°C drift; analog inputs feature ±17 V absolute maximum rating and 9 kΩ input resistance. Conversion results are output via 14-bit parallel bus (DB0–DB13) with CS/RD handshaking and BUSY status indication.
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 max - enables 175 kSPS sustained throughput per channel with deterministic timing. |
| Analog Input Range | ±10 V - supports industrial sensor outputs (e.g., ±10 V LVDTs, strain gauge bridges) without external scaling. |
| Aperture Delay Matching | ≤350 ps max - ensures <0.02° phase error at 100 kHz between VA1/VA2 or VB1/VB2 for vector control. |
| SNR | 77 dB min (TMIN to TMAX) - delivers >12.5 ENOB for accurate RMS, harmonic, and power factor measurements. |
| Power Dissipation | 94.5 mW max (normal mode) - enables integration into thermally constrained industrial enclosures. |
| Overvoltage Protection | ±17 V on analog inputs - prevents latch-up or damage during transients in motor drive feedback loops. |
Pinout & Package
AD7863ARZ-10 is housed in a 28-lead SOIC_W (Wide) package (body width 7.6 mm), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin layout supports compact PCB routing for analog/digital separation and low-noise grounding.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CONVST | Convert Start Input | Falling-edge-triggered global sample command - simultaneously freezes both track/holds and initiates dual-channel conversion. |
| BUSY | Conversion Status Output | Active-high open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; used to synchronize RD timing without polling. |
| A0 | Multiplexer Select | Static channel selector - low = VA1/VA2 sampled, high = VB1/VB2 sampled; determines read sequence order. |
| VA1, VA2, VB1, VB2 | Analog Inputs | Differential-pair-capable inputs with ±17 V fault tolerance; each pair shares identical gain/offset tracking for matched acquisition. |
| VREF | Reference I/O | 2.5 V buffered output (±10 mV error) and input - allows external reference substitution or system-level reference sharing. |
| DB0–DB13 | Parallel Data Outputs | Three-state TTL outputs delivering twos-complement codes; MSB (DB13) and LSB (DB0) defined for unambiguous bus interfacing. |
| AGND / DGND | Analog & Digital Grounds | Separate ground pins require star-point connection at single point to minimize digital noise coupling into analog front-end. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous Sampling | Two independent track/hold amplifiers triggered by one CONVST edge - preserves phase coherence between channels for vector control and power analysis. |
| Internal 2.5 V Reference | ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C with 25 ppm/°C drift - eliminates need for external reference IC while maintaining ±0.04% full-scale gain stability. |
| High-Speed Parallel Interface | 14-bit bus with CS/RD/BUSY handshaking - interfaces directly to 80C196, MC68000, or ADSP-210x DSPs without glue logic. |
| Overvoltage Protection | ±17 V absolute rating on all analog inputs - withstands inductive kickback in motor current sensing without external clamping diodes. |
| Low Power Operation | 70 mW typical (94.5 mW max) at 175 kSPS - reduces thermal load in multi-channel DAQ modules and portable test equipment. |
Applications
| Motor Control Feedback | Power Quality Monitoring |

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; no integrated track/hold. | Higher resolution but lacks on-chip track/hold - needs external amplifiers for simultaneous sampling of >2 channels. | Choose when 16-bit resolution and 6-channel count outweigh added BOM cost and layout complexity. |
| ADS8556IPM | 6-channel, 16-bit SAR ADC; 1.25 μs conversion; integrated track/hold; ±10 V input; SPI interface only. | Superior speed and channel count, but serial interface increases CPU overhead and limits real-time determinism vs. parallel BUSY/CS/RD. | Prefer for space-constrained designs where SPI compatibility and 1.25 μs latency justify trade-off in interface flexibility. |
Compared with AD7863ARZ-10, AD7656ASTZ offers higher resolution but requires external signal conditioning for true simultaneity across all six channels, while ADS8556IPM delivers faster conversion and more channels but sacrifices parallel interface determinism - making AD7863ARZ-10 optimal for cost-sensitive, phase-critical dual-channel industrial control.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7863ARZ-10?
The AD7863ARZ-10 achieves a sustained throughput of 175 kSPS per channel in Mode 1 operation. This is enabled by its 5.2 μs conversion time and 0.5 μs track/hold acquisition time, allowing back-to-back conversions without dead time. The device maintains full 14-bit accuracy and 77 dB SNR at this rate, as verified in the Rev. B datasheet Table 1 under Dynamic Performance.
Does the AD7863ARZ-10 require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7863ARZ-10 includes an internal 2.5 V reference with ±10 mV accuracy at 25°C and 25 ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The VREF pin serves as both output and input - it can be used directly or replaced with an external reference for tighter tolerance. The internal reference is fully specified for ±10 V full-scale operation in the AD7863ARZ-10 variant.
How does the AD7863ARZ-10 handle simultaneous sampling across two channels?
The AD7863ARZ-10 uses a single CONVST falling edge to place both on-chip track/hold amplifiers into hold mode simultaneously, then initiates conversion on both selected channels (VA1/VA2 or VB1/VB2) in parallel. Aperture delay matching is guaranteed ≤350 ps, ensuring phase coherence preservation - a requirement explicitly validated for vector motor control and power metering applications in the datasheet's Product Highlights.
What is the overvoltage protection rating for the AD7863ARZ-10 analog inputs?
The AD7863ARZ-10 analog inputs (VA1, VA2, VB1, VB2) are rated for ±17 V absolute maximum voltage relative to AGND, as stated in Table 3 (Absolute Maximum Ratings). This exceeds the ±10 V full-scale range and protects against transients in industrial environments such as motor drive current sensing or relay contact bounce.
Is the AD7863ARZ-10 pin-compatible with earlier Analog Devices ADCs?
Yes, the AD7863ARZ-10 is a 14-bit lead-compatible upgrade to the AD7862, sharing identical pinout, package (28-lead SOIC_W), and parallel interface protocol. Functional improvements include faster conversion (5.2 μs vs. 6.5 μs), improved SNR (77 dB vs. 74 dB), and tighter aperture delay matching - all documented in the Rev. B datasheet General Description and Product Highlights sections.
