Product details
Overview
AD7872JRZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 14-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated track-and-hold amplifier, 3 V buried Zener reference, and serial-only digital interface. It operates from ±5 V supplies, accepts bipolar ±3 V analog inputs, delivers 83 kSPS throughput, achieves 80 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and features 57 ns data access time. It is used in high-speed DSP servo control and spectrum analysis systems requiring precise timing and low-noise conversion.
For engineers reviewing the AD7872JRZ-REEL datasheet, AD7872JRZ-REEL pinout, AD7872JRZ-REEL application, or AD7872JRZ-REEL equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world interface constraints, confirmed dynamic and DC specifications, validated serial timing behavior, and application-specific design meaning for embedded signal acquisition.
Technical Context
The AD7872JRZ-REEL implements a self-contained LC2MOS SAR architecture with an internal laser-trimmed 2 MHz clock, eliminating external timing components. Its serial interface uses three dedicated pins-SSTRB (active-low framing strobe), SCLK (gated open-drain clock), and SDATA (three-state serial output)-with data valid on the falling edge of SCLK when SSTRB is low.
It supports only Mode 1 operation: conversion is initiated by a rising edge on CONVST, and the track-and-hold transitions to hold mode asynchronously to CLK. The internal 3 V reference is buffered at REFOUT (±40 ppm/°C tempco, 500 μA load capability) and decoupled via CREF to AGND with a 10 nF capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit monotonic, no missing codes guaranteed - ensures full-scale linearity for precision measurement systems. |
| Throughput Rate | 83 kSPS - enables real-time capture of signals up to 41.5 kHz (Nyquist-limited) without aliasing. |
| SNR @ 10 kHz | 80 dB min - supports high-fidelity digitization in speech synthesis and digital signal processing applications. |
| Input Range | ±3 V bipolar - directly interfaces with industrial sensor outputs and op-amp stages without level-shifting. |
| Reference Output | 3.00 V ±10 mV, ±40 ppm/°C - stable internal reference eliminates need for external voltage reference ICs. |
| Power Dissipation | 50 mW typical - suitable for thermally constrained embedded designs with limited heatsinking. |
| Conversion Time | 10.5 μs max (internal clock) - defines minimum inter-sample interval and system latency budget. |
Pinout & Package
AD7872JRZ-REEL is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package (width 3.9 mm, body height 1.75 mm), RoHS-compliant and tape-and-reel packaged per JEDEC standard MS-012AA.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CONTROL | SCLK gating control | Determines serial clock continuity: −5 V enables continuous SCLK; 0 V gates SCLK after transmission - critical for synchronous host timing. |
| 2 CONVST | Asynchronous conversion trigger | Rising-edge initiates track-to-hold transition - enables jitter-free sampling synchronized to external timers or PLLs. |
| 3 CLK | External clock input / oscillator enable | Tied to VSS to activate internal 2 MHz clock; accepts TTL-level external clock for system synchronization. |
| 4 SSTRB | Serial frame strobe | Active-low open-drain output requiring 4.7 kΩ pull-up - defines 14-bit serial word boundary for host controller framing logic. |
| 5 SCLK | Gated serial clock | Open-drain output requiring 2 kΩ pull-up - clock edges drive serial bit transfer; gated off post-transmission unless CONTROL = −5 V. |
| 6 SDATA | Serial data output | Three-state output valid on SCLK falling edge when SSTRB low - requires host to sample on precise clock edge for reliable bit recovery. |
| 8 DGND | Digital ground return | Separate ground node from AGND - mandates split-plane PCB layout to prevent digital noise coupling into analog path. |
| 9 & 16 VDD | +5 V analog supply | Dual VDD pins (9 and 16) must be shorted externally - ensures low-impedance power delivery to analog core and reference circuitry. |
| 11 CREF | Reference decoupling node | Connect 10 nF capacitor to AGND - suppresses internal reference noise and prevents conversion errors from supply transients. |
| 12 AGND | Analog ground reference | Independent ground for track-and-hold, SAR, and reference - must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce. |
| 13 REFOUT | 3 V reference output | Provides buffered 3.00 V reference for external circuitry; max 500 μA load - usable as precision bias source for front-end amplifiers. |
| 14 VIN | Analog input | ±3 V differential-capable input with 15 kΩ input resistance - accepts direct connection to instrumentation amplifiers or transformer-coupled sources. |
| 15 VSS | −5 V analog supply | Negative rail for bipolar operation - must be decoupled with ≥1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin to maintain PSRR. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit serial-output ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7872BRZ | Same die, extended temperature grade (−55°C to +125°C); higher INL (±2 LSB max) and lower SNR (77 dB min). | Used in aerospace/defense avionics where wide temperature operation outweighs SNR loss. | Select AD7872BRZ only if operating beyond 0°C–70°C; AD7872JRZ-REEL offers superior SNR and lower INL in commercial environments. |
| ADS8320UB | 16-bit SAR ADC, SPI interface, 100 kSPS, external reference required, no internal track-and-hold. | Applied in high-precision data loggers needing >14-bit resolution but accepting added BOM cost and layout complexity. | Choose ADS8320UB only when 16-bit resolution is mandatory; AD7872JRZ-REEL provides integrated reference and T/H at lower system cost. |
Compared with AD7872BRZ, AD7872JRZ-REEL delivers 3 dB higher SNR and tighter INL for commercial-grade signal fidelity; versus ADS8320UB, it reduces component count and PCB area by integrating reference and track-and-hold, albeit at 14-bit resolution.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency supported by the AD7872JRZ-REEL?
The AD7872JRZ-REEL supports full-power analog input signals up to 41.5 kHz, determined by its 83 kSPS throughput rate and Nyquist criterion. Its track-and-hold amplifier has a 0.1 dB cutoff at ~500 kHz, ensuring accurate sampling of high-frequency inputs without aperture uncertainty. This makes AD7872JRZ-REEL suitable for spectrum analysis and voiceband applications where preserving harmonic content is essential.
Does the AD7872JRZ-REEL require an external clock source?
No, the AD7872JRZ-REEL does not require an external clock source. It features a self-contained, laser-trimmed internal 2 MHz oscillator activated by tying the CLK pin to VSS. An external TTL-compatible clock may be applied to CLK for system synchronization, but it is optional. This internal clock eliminates timing component count and jitter concerns in the AD7872JRZ-REEL design.
How is the serial data format structured on the AD7872JRZ-REEL?
The AD7872JRZ-REEL outputs 14-bit serial data using three dedicated pins: SSTRB (active-low frame strobe), SCLK (gated serial clock), and SDATA (serial data). Data is valid on the falling edge of SCLK while SSTRB is low. The serial word consists of 14 bits MSB-first, with no start/stop bits. This structure enables direct interfacing with microcontrollers supporting custom serial protocols or GPIO-timed bit-banging.
What is the purpose of the CREF pin on the AD7872JRZ-REEL?
On the AD7872JRZ-REEL, the CREF pin is the decoupling node for the internal 3 V buried Zener reference. A 10 nF capacitor must be connected between CREF and AGND to suppress high-frequency noise generated by internal reference switching. This decoupling is mandatory for achieving specified SNR and integral nonlinearity; omitting it degrades dynamic performance and introduces code-dependent errors in the AD7872JRZ-REEL conversion.
Can the AD7872JRZ-REEL operate with unipolar input signals?
Yes, the AD7872JRZ-REEL can operate with unipolar input signals using external circuitry. By applying the internal 3 V REFOUT to offset the analog input stage, the device converts 0 V to +3 V (or scaled ranges like 0–5 V or 0–10 V using resistor dividers) into straight binary output. The MSB must be inverted in software to convert twos-complement output to straight binary. This configuration is documented in Figure 14 of the AD7872JRZ-REEL datasheet.
