Product details
Overview
AD7875LPZ from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 12-bit sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated track-and-hold amplifier, laser-trimmed internal clock, on-chip 3 V buried Zener reference, and parallel/byte/serial digital interface. It supports unipolar 0 V to +5 V analog input range, achieves 72 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and delivers 57 ns data access time. It is used in precision data acquisition systems requiring high dynamic performance and microprocessor compatibility.
For engineers reviewing the AD7875LPZ datasheet, AD7875LPZ pinout, AD7875LPZ application, or AD7875LPZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its unipolar input range, guaranteed dynamic specs (SNR, THD), 24-pin DIP package, 8 μs conversion time, and support for byte- and serial-mode interfacing with microcontrollers and DSPs.
Technical Context
The AD7875LPZ implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with a fast-settling DAC and high-speed comparator. Its track-and-hold acquires signals to 12-bit accuracy in ≤2 μs, enabling full-power conversion up to 50 kHz while maintaining dc accuracy (±1 LSB INL max, ±5 LSB unipolar offset error).
It features a self-contained internal clock laser-trimmed to 2.5 MHz (6.5–9 μs conversion), but accepts external clocks via CLK pin. The 3 V reference is temperature-compensated (±60 ppm/°C max), factory-trimmed to ±10 mV, and provides up to 500 μA output current - sufficient for internal DAC bias and external scaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees no missing codes; supports 4096 distinct digital output levels. |
| Input Range | 0 V to +5 V unipolar - enables direct connection to standard 5 V sensor outputs without level-shifting. |
| SNR @ 10 kHz | 72 dB min - ensures ≥11.6 effective bits of dynamic resolution for audio and instrumentation signals. |
| Conversion Time | 8 μs max (external clock) - supports 100 kSPS sustained sampling rate with minimal dead time. |
| Data Access Time | 57 ns max - compatible with fast 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessors (e.g., 80C51, TMS320C2x) without wait states. |
| Reference Output | 3.00 V ±10 mV - stable, low-drift internal reference eliminates need for external voltage reference ICs. |

Pinout & Package
AD7875LPZ is housed in a 24-pin, 0.3 inch-wide plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP). Pin 1 is identified by a notch or dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise from the notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 BUSY/INT | Status output | Active-low open-drain flag indicating conversion in progress (BUSY) or completion (INT). |
| 3 CLK | Clock input | Accepts external TTL clock; tied to VSS to enable internal 2.5 MHz laser-trimmed oscillator. |

| 6 DB9/SCLK | Multi-function I/O | DB9 output in 12-bit mode; gated serial clock (SCLK) output requiring 2 kΩ pull-up resistor. |
| 7 DB8/SDATA | Multi-function I/O | DB8 output in 12-bit mode; open-drain serial data (SDATA) output requiring 4.7 kΩ pull-up. |
| 8–11 DB7/LOW–DB4/LOW | Configurable data outputs | Three-state outputs whose function (DB7–DB4 or upper byte) depends on 12/8/CLK and HBEN state. |
| 12 DGND | Digital ground | Separate ground return for digital logic and interface circuitry to minimize noise coupling. |
| 13–16 DB3/DB11–DB0/DB8 | Configurable data outputs | Three-state outputs delivering LSB byte (DB3–DB0) or MSB byte (DB11–DB8) depending on mode. |
| 17 VDD | Positive supply | +5 V ±5% supply for digital and analog circuitry; requires local 0.1 μF ceramic decoupling. |
| 18 AGND | Analog ground | Isolated ground reference for track-and-hold, reference, and DAC; must be star-connected to DGND. |
| 19 REF OUT | Reference output | 3.00 V ±10 mV buried Zener reference; capable of sourcing 500 μA; max 50 pF capacitive load. |
| 20 VIN | Analog input | Unipolar 0 V to +5 V input with 25 kΩ typical input resistance; accepts dc-coupled sensor signals. |
| 21 VSS | Negative supply | −5 V ±5% supply for analog core; requires local 0.1 μF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin. |
| 22 12/8/CLK | Mode select input | Defines interface format: +5 V = 12-bit parallel only; 0 V/−5 V = byte or serial with gated/continuous SCLK. |
| 23 CONVST | Convert start | Rising-edge-triggered asynchronous command initiating track-to-hold transition and conversion. |
| 24 CS | Chip select | Active-low enable; when held low with CONVST tied low, initiates auto-conversion on CS falling edge. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7870LN | Bipolar ±3 V input range; identical pinout, timing, and interface; same 72 dB SNR but different transfer function (two's complement). | Requires level-shifting for unipolar sensors; suited for differential or ac-coupled inputs in instrumentation amplifiers. | Select AD7870LN only if bipolar input range and two's complement coding are required; not drop-in for AD7875LPZ. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit SAR ADC with SPI interface only; 200 kSPS max; single +5 V supply; no internal reference (requires external 2.5 V ref). | Lower power (12 mW), smaller SO-8 package; lacks parallel/byte modes and integrated reference - increases system component count. | Choose ADS7822U for space-constrained, low-power designs where SPI is preferred and external reference is acceptable. |
Compared with AD7875LPZ, AD7870LN offers bipolar input capability but requires redesign for unipolar signal chains, while ADS7822U reduces size and power but sacrifices interface flexibility and reference integration - making AD7875LPZ optimal for legacy microprocessor-based DAQ systems needing plug-and-play analog input.

FAQ
What is the analog input voltage range supported by the AD7875LPZ?
The AD7875LPZ supports a unipolar analog input range of 0 V to +5 V. This matches standard industrial sensor outputs and eliminates the need for external level-shifting circuitry. Input resistance is typically 25 kΩ, and the device maintains 12-bit linearity across this full range with ±5 LSB unipolar offset error and ±8 LSB full-scale error at +25°C.
Does the AD7875LPZ require an external clock source?
No, the AD7875LPZ does not require an external clock source. It includes a laser-trimmed internal oscillator that operates at approximately 2.5 MHz, guaranteeing conversion times of 6.5 μs minimum and 9 μs maximum. However, an external TTL-compatible clock can be applied to the CLK pin if precise timing synchronization or non-standard sample rates are needed.
What digital interface options does the AD7875LPZ support?
The AD7875LPZ supports three digital interface formats selected via the 12/8/CLK pin: 12-bit parallel word output, two 8-bit byte reads (with HBEN control), and serial data output using SDATA, SCLK, and SSTRB signals. All modes use standard control signals (CS, RD, CONVST) and are compatible with common microprocessors and DSPs without additional glue logic.
What is the purpose of the REF OUT pin on the AD7875LPZ?
The REF OUT pin on the AD7875LPZ provides a stable, temperature-compensated 3.00 V ±10 mV reference voltage derived from an on-chip buried Zener diode. It serves as the internal reference for the DAC and comparator, and can supply up to 500 μA to external circuitry - such as op-amp bias networks or scaled reference generation - provided the capacitive load remains ≤50 pF.
How is the AD7875LPZ packaged, and what are its thermal characteristics?
The AD7875LPZ is supplied in a 24-pin plastic dual-in-line package (PDIP) with 0.3 inch body width. Its absolute maximum junction temperature is +150°C, and it dissipates 60 mW typical power under ±5 V supplies. Power dissipation derates at 10 mW/°C above +75°C ambient, supporting reliable operation in industrial environments up to +70°C (J-grade) or +85°C (B/C-grade variants).
