Product details
Overview
AD7864AS-2 from Analog Devices is a 4-channel, simultaneous-sampling, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with 1.65 μs conversion time, 0.35 μs track-and-hold acquisition time, unipolar input ranges of 0 V to 2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V, and straight binary output coding-designed for real-time motor control and power supply monitoring where phase coherence across channels is critical.
For engineers reviewing the AD7864AS-2 datasheet, AD7864AS-2 pinout, AD7864AS-2 application, or AD7864AS-2 equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous sampling integrity, aperture delay matching ≤4 ns, 130 kSPS full-channel throughput, and compatibility with 3 V/5 V digital interfaces in industrial data acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The AD7864AS-2 integrates four independent track-and-hold amplifiers synchronized by a single CONVST edge, preserving inter-channel phase relationships during acquisition. Its internal 2.5 V reference (±20 mV error over temperature) and on-chip clock oscillator eliminate external timing components.
Conversion uses successive approximation architecture with hardware/software channel selection via SL1–SL4 pins or DB0–DB3 register writes. The parallel 12-bit interface supports read-during-conversion operation, enabling overlap of data transfer and next conversion cycle at up to 500 kSPS per channel.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit-supports 4096 discrete amplitude levels for high-fidelity signal digitization. |
| Conversion Time | 1.65 μs max-enables ≥500 kSPS per channel when reading during conversion. |
| Track-and-Hold Acquisition | 0.35 μs max-ensures accurate sampling after hold release before next CONVST pulse. |
| Aperture Delay Matching | ≤4 ns max-guarantees <0.02° phase error at 100 kHz across all four channels. |
| Input Range | 0 V to 2.5 V or 0 V to 5 V-optimized for unipolar sensor outputs and DC bus monitoring. |
| Output Coding | Straight (natural) binary-simplifies firmware interpretation without two's complement sign handling. |
| Power Dissipation | 90 mW typical (normal mode)-enables compact thermal design in space-constrained industrial modules. |
| Standby Current | 20 μA typical-reduces system-level power consumption during idle intervals. |
Pinout & Package
The AD7864AS-2 is housed in a 44-lead MQFP package (0.3 inch² footprint) with exposed paddle for thermal enhancement and standard 0.8 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BUSY (Pin 1) | Conversion status indicator | Active-high signal remains asserted until all selected channels complete conversion-enables polling-based synchronization without interrupt latency. |
| CONVST (Pin 3) | Sampling trigger | Rising-edge initiates simultaneous hold on all four track-and-holds and latches channel selection-critical for deterministic multi-signal capture. |
| SL1–SL4 (Pins 7–10) | Hardware channel select | Binary-coded inputs defining which of the four analog channels undergo conversion-allows fixed-sequence operation without software overhead. |
| VIN1A/VIN1B to VIN4A/VIN4B (Pins 13–16, 18–21) | Differential analog inputs | Four fully independent input pairs accepting unipolar ranges-each pair supports separate gain scaling and noise rejection. |
| DB0–DB11 (Pins 29–43) | Parallel data bus | 12-bit three-state TTL outputs delivering straight binary codes-compatible with 3 V or 5 V microcontrollers via VDRIVE pin configuration. |
| VREF (Pin 24) | Reference I/O | Provides access to internal 2.5 V ±5% reference or accepts external 2.5 V source-decoupling with 0.1 μF capacitor ensures stable conversion accuracy. |
| STBY (Pin 22) | Power management | TTL-compatible input that reduces current draw from 24 mA to 20 μA-enables rapid wake-up (<6 ms with internal reference) for burst-mode acquisition. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous sampling across 4 channels | Maintains sub-degree phase alignment between voltage/current feedback signals in vector-controlled AC drives. |
| Hardware/software channel selection | Enables deterministic real-time sequencing (via SL pins) or dynamic reconfiguration (via DB0–DB3 register writes) without CPU intervention. |
| Overvoltage protection on analog inputs | Withstands −1 V to +20 V transients-eliminates need for external clamping diodes in UPS and motor drive front-ends. |
| Read-during-conversion capability | Allows continuous data streaming at 130 kSPS full-channel rate-maximizes processor bandwidth utilization in real-time control loops. |
| Internal 2.5 V reference with low drift | 25 ppm/°C temperature coefficient ensures <±0.5 LSB gain error shift from −40°C to +85°C-reduces calibration frequency in field-deployed equipment. |
| 3 V/5 V interface flexibility | VDRIVE pin enables direct connection to mixed-voltage systems-simplifies integration with modern low-voltage DSPs and FPGAs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-channel simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7656ASTZ | 16-bit resolution, 2.5 μs conversion time, SPI interface only, no internal reference | Higher precision but slower throughput; requires external reference and serial interface firmware | Select when absolute accuracy >12-bit is required and system can accommodate serial data transfer latency. |
| ADS8588SIPM | 18-bit resolution, 2.2 μs conversion time, parallel/serial interface, ±10 V bipolar input only | Superior SNR (92 dB vs. 70 dB), but lacks unipolar 0–5 V support and requires external clock | Select for high-fidelity test equipment where unipolar range is not needed and board space allows larger QFN package. |
Compared with AD7864AS-2, AD7656ASTZ trades speed and simplicity for resolution and serial interface constraints, while ADS8588SIPM delivers higher fidelity at the cost of input range inflexibility and increased layout complexity-making AD7864AS-2 optimal for cost-sensitive, phase-critical industrial control where 12-bit unipolar performance is sufficient.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the AD7864AS-2 support?
The AD7864AS-2 supports two unipolar analog input ranges: 0 V to 2.5 V and 0 V to 5 V. These ranges are selected via external resistor networks per the datasheet's Analog Input section. Unlike the AD7864-1 or AD7864-3 variants, the AD7864AS-2 does not support bipolar inputs. Its straight binary output coding aligns directly with these unipolar ranges, simplifying firmware math in motor control and power monitoring applications using the AD7864AS-2.
How does the AD7864AS-2 achieve simultaneous sampling across four channels?
The AD7864AS-2 achieves true simultaneous sampling using four independent track-and-hold (T/H) amplifiers, all triggered by a single rising edge on the CONVST pin. This architecture freezes all four input signals at precisely the same instant, preserving phase relationships critical for vector control and power quality analysis. Aperture delay matching of ≤4 ns ensures inter-channel timing skew remains below 0.02° at 100 kHz-performance validated in the AD7864AS-2's dynamic specifications table and functional block diagram.
Can the AD7864AS-2 interface with 3 V microcontrollers?
Yes, the AD7864AS-2 supports 3 V digital interfacing via its VDRIVE pin (Pin 36), which powers the parallel output drivers (DB0–DB11), BUSY, EOC, and FRSTDATA. When VDRIVE is supplied with 3 V ±10%, the outputs meet TTL logic thresholds while maintaining 35 ns data access time. This eliminates level shifters in mixed-voltage systems and is explicitly characterized in the AD7864AS-2's Timing Characteristics table for both 3 V and 5 V VDRIVE conditions.
What is the purpose of the STBY pin on the AD7864AS-2?
STBY (Pin 22) places the AD7864AS-2 into standby mode, reducing supply current from 24 mA typical to 20 μA typical. In this state, the internal oscillator and ADC core are disabled while retaining register contents and reference buffer bias. Wake-up time is 6 ms maximum when using the internal 2.5 V reference (with 0.1 μF decoupling), enabling rapid resumption of acquisition-ideal for duty-cycled sensing in battery-powered or thermally constrained AD7864AS-2 deployments.
Does the AD7864AS-2 include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7864AS-2 integrates a 2.5 V ±5% internal reference with 25 ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 20 mV max error over −40°C to +85°C. This reference is accessible at the VREF pin (Pin 24) and can be overdriven by an external 2.5 V source for improved stability. The internal reference eliminates external component count and is factory-trimmed-key to achieving the AD7864AS-2's specified ±3 LSB positive gain error and ±3 LSB unipolar offset error across temperature.
