Product details
Overview
AD7875KP from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 12-bit successive approximation ADC with integrated track-and-hold amplifier, laser-trimmed internal clock, and on-chip 3 V buried Zener reference. It supports unipolar 0 V to +5 V analog input range, delivers 72 dB SNR at 10 kHz, achieves 8 μs conversion time with external 2.5 MHz clock, and features 57 ns data access time for direct interfacing with 8-/16-bit microprocessors in data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7875KP datasheet, AD7875KP pinout, AD7875KP application, or AD7875KP equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-validated pin functions, real-world interface timing constraints, and confirmed alternative options for unipolar 12-bit sampling ADC replacement in industrial instrumentation and DSP front-end designs.
Technical Context
The AD7875KP implements a SAR architecture with a fast-settling voltage-output DAC and high-speed comparator, paired with a 2 μs track-and-hold amplifier that acquires full-scale signals to 12-bit accuracy. Its internal 3 V reference is laser-trimmed to ±10 mV and temperature-compensated to ±35 ppm/°C (L/C grade), enabling stable dc accuracy without external trimming.
It supports three digital output formats-parallel 12-bit word, two 8-bit bytes, or serial data via SDATA/SCLK/SSTRB-and uses asynchronous CONVST-triggered conversion control. The 12/8/CLK pin selects interface mode, while HBEN enables byte-mode data partitioning across DB7–DB0 and DB11–DB8 pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit with no missing codes guaranteed - ensures monotonic transfer function for precision measurement. |
| Sampling Rate | 100 kHz maximum - supports full-power signal digitization up to 50 kHz per Nyquist criterion. |
| SNR | 72 dB min at 10 kHz input - enables >11.6 effective bits for low-distortion audio and sensor signal capture. |
| Conversion Time | 8 μs max with 2.5 MHz external clock - defines minimum inter-conversion interval in high-throughput systems. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to +5 V unipolar - matches standard single-supply sensor outputs and PLC analog inputs. |
| Data Access Time | 57 ns max - allows direct connection to 80 ns–100 ns bus cycles of Intel 80C186 or Motorola 68HC11 derivatives. |
| Power Dissipation | 95 mW max at ±5 V supplies - enables thermally constrained embedded designs without forced cooling. |
| Reference Output | 3.00 V ±10 mV, 500 μA load capability - provides stable excitation for external ratiometric sensors or scaling circuits. |
Pinout & Package
AD7875KP is packaged in a 28-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) with 0.050-inch pitch and JEDEC MS-026AC outline. Pin 1 is identified by a corner notch; all pins are gold-plated with solderable finish. Thermal pad is not present; power dissipation is managed via top-surface convection and PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CONVST | Asynchronous convert start input | Rising-edge triggered; initiates track-to-hold transition and conversion independently of clock domain. |
| CS | Chip select input | Active-low enable for parallel/byte read operations; also starts conversion when CONVST tied low. |
| RD | Read strobe input | Active-low control for latching valid data onto DB[11:0] during Mode 1 or Mode 2 interface timing. |
| BUSY/INT | Status output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating conversion in progress (BUSY) or completion (INT). |
| DB0–DB11 | Three-state data outputs | Configurable as full 12-bit parallel, upper/lower byte, or serial data depending on 12/8/CLK and HBEN states. |
| VIN | Analog input terminal | Accepts 0 V to +5 V unipolar signal with 25 kΩ typical input resistance; referenced to AGND. |
| REF OUT | Internal reference output | 3.00 V ±10 mV source for external circuitry; requires ≤50 pF capacitive load for stability. |
| AGND / DGND | Analog and digital ground | Separate ground pins must be connected at single point near device to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Complete monolithic ADC | Integrates track-and-hold, 12-bit SAR core, 3 V reference, and parallel/serial interface - eliminates external support components. |
| Laser-trimmed internal clock | Guarantees 6.5–9 μs conversion time without external timing components; overrides possible with TTL clock on CLK pin. |
| Flexible digital interface | Supports 12-bit parallel, two-byte, or serial output - enables compatibility with 8-bit buses, DSP host ports, and space-constrained layouts. |
| Dynamic performance spec | 72 dB SNR and −80 dB THD tested at 10 kHz - validated for demanding ac-coupled signal chain applications like vibration monitoring. |
| Unipolar input optimization | 0 V to +5 V range with straight-binary coding and 1.22 mV/LSB step - simplifies firmware scaling and matches industrial sensor outputs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit unipolar sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7870KP | Bipolar ±3 V input range; twos-complement output; same pinout and timing but incompatible input scaling. | Requires level-shifting for 0–5 V sensors; unsuitable for direct replacement without analog front-end redesign. | Select only if system already uses bipolar signal conditioning and can accommodate twos-complement arithmetic. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit SAR ADC with SPI interface only; 200 kSPS max; no internal reference; requires external 2.5 V reference. | Lower power (12 mW), smaller MSOP-8 package, but lacks parallel/byte modes and on-chip reference. | Prefer for new ultra-low-power or space-constrained designs where SPI interface is acceptable and external reference is available. |
Compared with AD7875KP, AD7870KP demands analog signal re-biasing and firmware sign-extension handling, while ADS7822U reduces board area and power but increases BOM complexity and removes microprocessor bus compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended capacitive load on the REF OUT pin of the AD7875KP?
The AD7875KP REF OUT pin must be loaded with ≤50 pF capacitance for stable operation. Exceeding this value risks oscillation or reference voltage droop during conversion. If external filtering is needed, use a 200 Ω series resistor followed by a parallel 10 μF tantalum and 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor - as specified in the AD7875KP datasheet Figure 6. This configuration isolates switching transients while maintaining regulation.
Does the AD7875KP support simultaneous sampling across multiple channels?
No, the AD7875KP is a single-channel ADC and does not support simultaneous sampling. It performs successive approximation on one analog input (VIN) per conversion cycle. For multi-channel systems, external multiplexing or multiple AD7875KP units with synchronized CONVST signals are required. Its 2 μs track-and-hold acquisition time applies only to the selected channel.
Can the AD7875KP operate with only a +5 V supply, or does it require dual ±5 V rails?
The AD7875KP requires both +5 V (VDD) and −5 V (VSS) supplies for proper operation - it cannot function on +5 V alone. The negative rail powers the internal track-and-hold amplifier and comparator circuitry. Operating with only +5 V will result in undefined behavior, failure to acquire, or permanent damage due to violation of absolute maximum ratings.
What is the meaning of the 'KP' suffix in AD7875KP?
The 'KP' suffix in AD7875KP denotes the 28-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package with commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and lead-free finish. It corresponds to the 'K' grade (0°C to +70°C) and 'P' package type per Analog Devices' ordering guide - distinct from 'KPZ' (tape-and-reel) or 'KQ' (ceramic DIP) variants.
How is the 12-bit output formatted for the AD7875KP when using unipolar 0 V to +5 V input?
The AD7875KP outputs straight-binary code for unipolar input: 0x000 (0 V) maps to decimal 0, and 0xFFF (+5 V) maps to decimal 4095. Each LSB equals 1.22 mV (5 V / 4096). This differs from the AD7870KP's twos-complement format and ensures intuitive firmware interpretation without sign-bit handling.
