Product details
Overview
AD7866BRU from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, 12-bit, 1 MSPS successive approximation ADC with integrated 2.5 V reference, 20-lead TSSOP package, and simultaneous conversion capability for high-speed data acquisition in industrial control and motor feedback systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7866BRU datasheet, AD7866BRU pinout, AD7866BRU application, or AD7866BRU equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual independent 12-bit SAR architecture, simultaneous sampling of two analog inputs (VA1/VA2 and VB1/VB2), flexible 0–VREF or 0–2VREF input ranges, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface with separate DOUTA/DOUTB outputs.
Technical Context
The AD7866BRU implements two fully independent 12-bit SAR ADCs, each with dedicated track-and-hold amplifiers supporting >10 MHz input bandwidth and 70 dB SNR at 300 kHz. Conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS, with timing fully controlled by SCLK (up to 20 MHz), eliminating pipeline latency.
It supports three reference configurations: internal 2.5 V reference (via REF SELECT = low), external single reference (via VREF pin), or dual independent external references (via DCAPA/DCAPB pins). Input range and output coding (straight binary or twos complement) are selected dynamically via the RANGE pin sampled at CS fall.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees 1 LSB = 0.024% full-scale quantization step for precision measurement |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 500 kHz per Nyquist criterion |
| SNR @ 300 kHz | 70 dB - ensures >11.6 effective number of bits (ENOB) for clean signal digitization |
| Channel Isolation | –88 dB - prevents crosstalk between VA and VB channels during simultaneous acquisition |
| Power @ 3 V / 1 MSPS | 11.4 mW - allows battery-powered or thermally constrained embedded designs |
| Reference Voltage | 2.5 V ±1% - stable on-chip reference eliminates need for external precision reference in many applications |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and harsh-environment sensing |
Pinout & Package
AD7866BRU is housed in a 20-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), RoHS-compliant, with 0.65 mm lead pitch and exposed pad for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (REF SELECT) | Reference mode control | Selects internal 2.5 V reference (low) or external reference (high); determines decoupling topology for VREF/DCAPA/DCAPB |
| 2,9 (DCAPB, DCAPA) | Reference buffer decoupling & external ref input | Accept individual external references for ADC B and ADC A respectively when REF SELECT = high and VREF = AGND |
| 4,5 (VB2, VB1) | Analog inputs - Channel 2 & 1 of ADC B | Single-ended inputs supporting 0–VREF or 0–2VREF ranges; require proper AGND referencing |
| 6,7 (VA2, VA1) | Analog inputs - Channel 2 & 1 of ADC A | Independent from VB inputs; enable true dual-simultaneous acquisition without multiplexer delay |
| 11 (RANGE) | Input range & output coding select | Samples at CS fall: low → 0–VREF + straight binary; high → 0–2VREF + twos complement |
| 15,16 (DOUTB, DOUTA) | Serial data outputs | Simultaneously output 16-bit frames (1 zero + 3 status + 12 data bits, MSB first) - enables parallel read or time-multiplexed read on one port |
| 19 (CS) | Chip select / conversion trigger | Active-low signal that initiates sampling on falling edge and frames serial data transfer |
| 20 (A0) | Multiplexer channel select | Selects VA1/VB1 (A0 = low) or VA2/VB2 (A0 = high) for next simultaneous conversion pair |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous dual-channel conversion | Enables phase-coherent sampling of two signals (e.g., current + voltage) without inter-channel skew or timing mismatch |
| No pipeline delay | Guarantees deterministic latency: conversion completes in exactly 16 SCLK cycles after CS fall - critical for closed-loop control |
| Flexible power-throughput scaling | Power scales linearly with SCLK frequency; partial power-down mode reduces IDD to 560 µA at 100 kSPS |
| On-chip 2.5 V reference | ±1% initial accuracy and 50 ppm/°C tempco - sufficient for <12-bit system accuracy without external reference cost/area |
| High channel isolation | –88 dB crosstalk suppression - preserves signal integrity when measuring differential or complementary signals (e.g., motor phase currents) |
Applications
| Motor Phase Current Sensing | Industrial PLC Analog Input Module |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7865-1ARSZ | Single 14-bit, 1 MSPS ADC with 4:1 MUX; no simultaneous dual conversion; requires external reference | Lower resolution but higher precision per channel; suited for sequential multi-channel scanning, not phase-coherent dual acquisition | Choose when absolute precision on one channel outweighs need for simultaneity; not suitable for motor current pairs |
| ADS8327IPW | Dual 16-bit, 500 kSPS SAR ADC; SPI-only interface; no internal reference; 24-TSSOP package | Higher resolution but half the throughput; lacks simultaneous sampling control (separate CS per channel) | Prefer for high-accuracy static measurements (e.g., weigh scales); avoid where 1 MSPS dual-channel timing coherence is mandatory |
Compared with AD7865-1ARSZ and ADS8327IPW, the AD7866BRU uniquely delivers true simultaneous 12-bit dual-channel conversion at 1 MSPS with integrated reference and flexible input range selection - making it the only option among the three for phase-aligned, high-throughput industrial feedback systems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the AD7866BRU?
The AD7866BRU is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C across all electrical parameters. This rating is confirmed in the Ordering Guide and Absolute Maximum Ratings sections of the official datasheet, and applies to both A and B grade versions including AD7866BRU. The device maintains full 12-bit linearity and 1 MSPS throughput across this full industrial temperature range.
Does the AD7866BRU support simultaneous sampling of two independent analog signals?
Yes, the AD7866BRU features two completely independent SAR ADC cores with dedicated track-and-hold amplifiers, enabling true simultaneous sampling and conversion of VA1/VA2 and VB1/VB2. The conversion results appear simultaneously on DOUTA and DOUTB, with identical aperture delay matching (≤200 ps), ensuring phase coherence critical for current/voltage or differential measurements.
Can the AD7866BRU operate with an external reference instead of the internal 2.5 V reference?
Yes, the AD7866BRU supports three reference modes. When REF SELECT is high, an external reference can be applied to the VREF pin. Alternatively, with REF SELECT low and VREF tied to AGND, separate external references may be supplied directly to DCAPA and DCAPB for independent ADC A and ADC B scaling - a capability unique to the AD7866BRU within its product family.
What serial interface protocols is the AD7866BRU compatible with?
The AD7866BRU supports SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and generic DSP serial interfaces. Its DOUTA/DOUTB outputs are driven on the falling edge of SCLK, and the part accepts standard CS/SCLK timing. No configuration register writes are needed - interface behavior is determined solely by pin states (REF SELECT, RANGE, A0) and SCLK frequency, simplifying firmware integration.
How does power consumption scale with throughput rate in the AD7866BRU?
AD7866BRU power scales linearly with SCLK frequency due to its synchronous SAR architecture. At 3 V, it consumes 3.8 mA (11.4 mW) at 1 MSPS (20 MHz SCLK), 1.6 mA in partial power-down at 100 kSPS, and just 1 µA in full shutdown. This enables dynamic power management in battery-operated or thermally sensitive applications without sacrificing conversion accuracy.
