Product details
Overview
AD7871JPZ from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 14-bit LC2MOS successive approximation ADC with integrated track-and-hold amplifier, 3 V buried Zener reference, and versatile parallel/byte/serial interface. It delivers 83 kSPS throughput, 80 dB SNR at 10 kHz, 57 ns data access time, and operates 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 AD7871JPZ datasheet, AD7871JPZ pinout, AD7871JPZ application, or AD7871JPZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its three configurable output formats (14-bit parallel, dual-byte, or serial), internal 2 MHz laser-trimmed clock, ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity, and 2 μs track/hold acquisition time - all critical for real-time signal capture in embedded DSP and telecom front-ends.
Technical Context
The AD7871JPZ implements a self-contained SAR architecture with on-chip 3 V temperature-compensated Zener reference and high-speed comparator. Its track-and-hold amplifier achieves 14-bit settling in under 2 μs and supports full-power input signals up to 41.5 kHz.
It features dual-mode operation: Mode 1 uses CONVST for precise external sampling control (jitter-critical applications), while Mode 2 initiates conversion via CS/RD handshake (microprocessor-centric systems). The 14/8/CLK pin selects between 14-bit parallel, byte-oriented, or serial output formats - enabling direct interfacing to 8-bit, 16-bit, or serial controllers without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit monotonic with no missing codes guaranteed - ensures unambiguous digital representation of analog signals across full scale. |
| Throughput Rate | 83 kSPS maximum - supports real-time acquisition of audio-band and baseband communication signals. |
| SNR @ 10 kHz | 80 dB minimum - enables clean digitization of high-fidelity signals in spectrum analysis and speech synthesis. |
| Data Access Time | 57 ns maximum after RD - allows direct connection to fast microprocessors (e.g., ADSP-21xx) without wait states. |
| Power Dissipation | 50 mW typical at ±5 V - suitable for power-constrained DSP modules and portable instrumentation. |
| Analog Input Range | ±3 V bipolar - matches standard op-amp output swing and simplifies anti-aliasing filter design. |
| Reference Output | 3.00 V ±10 mV, 500 μA load capability - provides stable, factory-trimmed reference for external circuitry or ratiometric sensing. |
Pinout & Package
AD7871JPZ is housed in a 28-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package with 0.6-inch width and through-hole mounting. Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices Rev. F datasheet Figures 5 and Table 4.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CONVST (Pin 1) | Asynchronous convert start trigger | Rising edge forces track-to-hold transition - enables jitter-free sampling synchronized to external timer or PLL. |
| CS (Pin 2) & RD (Pin 3) | Parallel bus enable/control | Active-low combination enables three-state DB0–DB13 outputs - compatible with 8086/80C196 and ADSP-21xx memory-mapped interfaces. |
| BUSY/INT (Pin 4) | Status indicator / interrupt output | Active-low open-drain signal indicates conversion in progress or completion - usable as CPU wait-state or IRQ source. |
| CLK (Pin 5) | External clock input / oscillator enable | TTL-compatible input; tie to VSS to activate internal 2 MHz laser-trimmed oscillator - eliminates external timing components. |
| 14/8/CLK (Pin 28) | Output format selector | +5 V = 14-bit parallel only; 0 V = byte + serial; −5 V = byte + continuous serial clock - configures interface without firmware changes. |
| VIN (Pin 26) | Analog signal input | ±3 V differential input referenced to AGND - accepts direct connection from instrumentation amps or transformer-coupled sources. |
| REFOUT (Pin 25) | Internal reference output | Stable 3.00 V supply for external DACs, sensors, or bias networks - requires ≤50 pF capacitive load for stability. |
| AGND (Pin 22) & DGND (Pin 14) | Separate analog/digital ground returns | Isolates noise-sensitive analog core from digital switching transients - mandates star grounding at single-point decoupling capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complete monolithic ADC | Integrates track-and-hold, 14-bit SAR, 3 V Zener reference, and interface logic - eliminates 12+ external components in data acquisition designs. |
| Three configurable output formats | Single 14-bit word, two 8-bit bytes, or 14-bit serial stream - enables reuse across 8-bit microcontrollers, 16-bit DSPs, and low-pin-count FPGA interfaces. |
| Internal laser-trimmed 2 MHz clock | Self-contained timing with <±50 ppm accuracy - removes crystal oscillator, capacitors, and layout sensitivity from BOM and PCB. |
| 80 dB SNR at 10 kHz | Validated dynamic performance including THD (−86 dB max) and IMD - meets requirements for voiceband modems and spectral purity-critical measurement tools. |
| Bipolar ±3 V input range | Matched to standard op-amp rails and AC-coupled signal chains - avoids level-shifting circuitry and preserves DC coupling capability. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7872JPZ | Serial-only output, 16-pin PDIP/SOIC, no parallel interface - lacks byte/14-bit parallel modes and HBEN/SSTRB flexibility. | Best suited for space-constrained, serial-interface-only systems where pin count is critical and parallel bus not required. | Select AD7872JPZ only when serial interface suffices and board area savings outweigh loss of parallel configurability. |
| ADS8320U | 16-bit resolution, SPI interface only, 100 kSPS, external reference required - higher resolution but no internal reference or bipolar input support. | Preferred for high-accuracy measurement systems needing >14-bit precision, where external reference and SPI compatibility exist. | Choose ADS8320U when resolution >14 bits is mandatory and system already provides precision external reference and SPI infrastructure. |
Compared with AD7871JPZ, AD7872JPZ reduces pin count and interface flexibility but saves board space, while ADS8320U trades internal reference and bipolar input for higher resolution and SPI simplicity - making AD7871JPZ optimal for mixed-protocol, resource-constrained DSP front-ends requiring configurability and self-containment.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AD7871JPZ?
The AD7871JPZ J-version is rated for 0°C to +70°C commercial operation. This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Page 6) and Specifications table (Page 3) of the Rev. F datasheet, where J/K versions share identical thermal limits. Operation outside this range may cause parametric shift or functional failure.
Does the AD7871JPZ require an external clock to operate?
No, the AD7871JPZ does not require an external clock. Its internal laser-trimmed oscillator provides a nominal 2 MHz clock when CLK (Pin 5) is tied to VSS. External clocking is optional and supported via TTL-compatible input on the same pin - enabling synchronization to system clocks when lowest jitter is critical.
How is the reference voltage generated and used in the AD7871JPZ?
The AD7871JPZ integrates a factory-trimmed 3 V buried Zener reference, accessible at REFOUT (Pin 25) and internally used for DAC scaling and bipolar offset. It delivers up to 500 μA with ±10 mV tolerance at +25°C and ±40 ppm/°C tempco. CREF (Pin 23) must be decoupled to AGND with a 10 nF capacitor for noise suppression.
What are the supported digital output formats of the AD7871JPZ?
The AD7871JPZ supports three output formats selected by the 14/8/CLK pin (Pin 28): 14-bit parallel (DB0–DB13), dual-byte (HBEN-controlled upper/lower byte), and 14-bit serial (SDATA/SCLK/SSTRB). Each mode is electrically verified in the Functional Block Diagram (Figure 1) and Pin Function Descriptions (Table 4).
Can the AD7871JPZ interface directly with an 8-bit microcontroller?
Yes, the AD7871JPZ can interface directly with an 8-bit microcontroller using its byte-mode output. With 14/8/CLK at 0 V and HBEN (Pin 6) toggled, DB0–DB7 deliver alternating upper and lower bytes of the 14-bit result - eliminating need for external latches or glue logic in 8051 or PIC-based systems.
