Product details
Overview
AD7871JP from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 14-bit LC2MOS analog-to-digital converter with integrated track-and-hold amplifier, 3 V buried Zener reference, and self-contained laser-trimmed internal clock. It delivers 80 dB SNR at 10 kHz, 57 ns data access time, and 83 kSPS throughput while operating from ±5 V supplies with ±3 V bipolar analog input range. It is used in high-speed DSP servo control and spectrum analysis systems requiring precise sampling timing.
For engineers reviewing the AD7871JP datasheet, AD7871JP pinout, AD7871JP application, or AD7871JP equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world interface behavior (parallel/byte/serial), dynamic performance metrics (SNR, THD, IMD), DC accuracy specs (INL ±1 LSB max), and validated alternative options for ADC replacement in embedded signal acquisition designs.
Technical Context
The AD7871JP implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with a voltage-output DAC and high-speed comparator. Its on-chip 3 V buried Zener reference is temperature-compensated (±40 ppm/°C) and provides both DAC reference and bipolar bias, eliminating external reference components.
It supports three synchronous output formats-14-bit parallel, two 8-bit bytes, or 14-bit serial-selected via the 14/8/CLK pin. Conversion is initiated either by CONVST rising edge (Mode 1, for jitter-critical sampling) or CS falling edge (Mode 2, microprocessor-controlled), with BUSY/INT indicating conversion status.

Pinout & Package
AD7871JP is housed in a 28-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with 0.6-inch width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CONVST | Asynchronous convert start | Rising-edge-triggered hold command - enables precise sampling instants independent of system clock domain. |
| 2 CS | Chip select | Active-low enable for data bus drivers - allows shared 8/16-bit data bus operation with other peripherals. |
| 3 RD | Read strobe | Active-low latch control - gates DB0–DB13 outputs only when CS and RD are low, preventing bus contention. |
| 4 BUSY/INT | Status output | Open-drain logic-low during conversion - serves as interrupt source or wait-state generator for microprocessors. |
| 5 CLK | Clock input | Accepts TTL-level external clock or connects to VSS to enable internal 2 MHz oscillator - removes need for external timing components. |
| 6 DB13/HBEN | MSB data / byte enable | Configurable: DB13 output in 14-bit mode; HBEN control for upper/lower byte selection in 8-bit bus interfacing. |
| 26 VIN | Analog input | ±3 V differential-capable input with 15 kΩ impedance - accepts direct connection to transducer bridges and op-amp outputs. |
| 25 REFOUT | Reference output | Stable 3.00 V source - powers external gain-setting resistors or reference buffers without loading internal Zener. |
| 23 CREF | Reference decoupling | Connection point for 10 nF capacitor to AGND - suppresses internal reference noise and improves AC performance. |
| 28 14/8/CLK | Format control | Selects output mode: +5 V = 14-bit parallel only; 0 V = byte/serial with gated SCLK; −5 V = byte/serial with continuous SCLK. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7872JP | Serial-only output; 16-pin PDIP; no parallel/byte interface; identical core ADC, reference, and timing specs. | Used where board space is constrained and microcontroller has dedicated SPI peripheral - eliminates 12 data lines and associated routing. | Select AD7872JP when serial interface suffices and PCB real estate is premium; avoid if legacy 8/16-bit bus architecture requires parallel access. |
| ADS8320U | 16-bit resolution; SPI interface only; 100 kSPS; external reference required; 5 V single supply (no ±5 V). | Targets higher-precision instrumentation (e.g., portable multimeters) where 16-bit resolution outweighs need for bipolar input or internal reference. | Choose ADS8320U for upgraded resolution in new designs with SPI-native processors; AD7871JP remains optimal for ±5 V systems needing drop-in compatibility with existing schematics. |
Compared with AD7872JP, AD7871JP offers flexible parallel/byte/serial output modes at the cost of larger 28-pin footprint; versus ADS8320U, it trades 2-bit resolution for integrated reference, bipolar input, and legacy bus support - making AD7871JP uniquely suited for retrofitting and mixed-signal industrial control upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the AD7871JP?
The AD7871JP supports full-power analog input signals up to 41.5 kHz, defined as the frequency at which the converter maintains its specified SNR and THD performance. This is derived from its 83 kSPS throughput rate and Nyquist criterion. The track-and-hold amplifier's 0.1 dB cutoff at ~500 kHz ensures minimal aperture jitter and accurate sampling even near the Nyquist limit. For reliable operation, input signals should be band-limited using an anti-aliasing filter before reaching the VIN pin of the AD7871JP.
Does the AD7871JP require external clock components?
No, the AD7871JP does not require external clock components. It features a self-contained, laser-trimmed internal oscillator nominally set to 2 MHz, which can be enabled by connecting the CLK pin to VSS. This internal clock eliminates crystals, load capacitors, and buffer ICs, simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials cost. An external TTL-compatible clock may still be applied to the CLK pin if system synchronization or non-standard sampling rates are needed - but it is optional, not mandatory, for basic operation of the AD7871JP.
How is bipolar offset error trimmed on the AD7871JP?
Bipolar offset error on the AD7871JP is trimmed by adjusting the offset of the op amp driving its analog input while applying −0.183 mV (−½ LSB) to VIN. The trim procedure requires observing the ADC output code flicker between 0x0000 and 0x7FFF on a logic analyzer or microcontroller readout. This adjustment must precede full-scale gain trimming. The AD7871JP datasheet specifies that offset correction is performed externally - the device itself contains no user-accessible offset registers or DACs; all calibration is analog and system-level, ensuring traceability and stability over temperature when implemented per Figure 13 in the AD7871JP datasheet.
Can the AD7871JP operate with a single +5 V supply?
No, the AD7871JP cannot operate with a single +5 V supply. It requires dual ±5 V supplies (VDD = +5 V, VSS = −5 V) to support its ±3 V bipolar analog input range and internal circuitry. The absolute maximum ratings specify VSS to AGND as +0.3 V to −7 V, confirming negative rail necessity. Attempting single-supply operation will result in undefined behavior, failure to acquire negative input voltages, and potential damage if VSS is tied to ground while VIN swings negative. Designs requiring single-supply operation should consider modern alternatives like the AD7490 or ADS8320U, not the AD7871JP.
What is the purpose of the CREF pin on the AD7871JP?
The CREF pin on the AD7871JP is the decoupling node for the internal 3 V buried Zener reference. A 10 nF capacitor must be connected between CREF and AGND to minimize reference noise and ensure specified dynamic performance (e.g., 80 dB SNR). This capacitor stabilizes the reference during internal switching events and prevents coupling of digital noise into the analog reference path. The AD7871JP datasheet explicitly states that omitting or undersizing this capacitor degrades SNR and THD - it is not optional. CREF is not an output or input pin; it serves solely as a dedicated decoupling point internal to the reference circuitry of the AD7871JP.
