Product details
Overview
AD7876CRZ 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 ±10 V bipolar analog input range, achieves 8 μs conversion time with external 2.5 MHz clock, and delivers 57 ns data access time for microprocessor interfacing. It operates from ±5 V supplies and targets precision data acquisition in industrial instrumentation and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AD7876CRZ datasheet, AD7876CRZ pinout, AD7876CRZ application, or AD7876CRZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-validated pin functions, real-world interface timing constraints, and confirmed alternative options for ±10 V full-scale ADC replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
The AD7876CRZ implements a SAR architecture with internal 3 V reference scaled via on-die resistor network to support ±10 V input range. Its track-and-hold acquires signals to 12-bit accuracy in ≤2 μs, enabling accurate digitization of up to 50 kHz full-power sine waves. The internal clock is laser-trimmed to guarantee 6.5–9 μs conversion time without external components.
Digital interface flexibility includes three modes: 12-bit parallel (DB11–DB0), two-byte (HBEN-controlled), and serial (SCLK/SSTRB/SDATA). Logic inputs accept TTL-compatible levels; outputs drive standard CMOS loads with 40 μA source / 1.6 mA sink capability. All timing parameters-including t6 (57 ns max data access) and t16 (120 ns CS-to-BUSY)-are production-tested across −40°C to +85°C.

Pinout & Package
AD7876CRZ is housed in a 24-pin SOIC package (width: 7.5 mm, body: 15.4 mm × 7.5 mm), RoHS-compliant, with gull-wing leads and standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RD | Active-low read strobe | Enables DBx outputs when CS is low; controls data bus release timing (t7 ≤5 ns min). |
| 2 BUSY/INT | Open-drain status output | Active-low indicates conversion in progress; doubles as interrupt signal for processor synchronization. |
| 3 CLK | External clock input / oscillator enable | TTL-compatible; tie to VSS to activate internal laser-trimmed clock (6.5–9 μs conversion). |
| 4 DB11/HBEN | MSB data output / high-byte enable | Function depends on 12/8/CLK state; critical for byte-mode interface configuration. |
| 5 DB10/SSTRB | Data bit 10 / serial strobe | SSTRB is open-drain; requires 4.7 kΩ pull-up; frames serial data packets. |
| 6 DB9/SCLK | Data bit 9 / serial clock | SCLK is gated open-drain output; requires 2 kΩ pull-up; edge-aligned to SDATA valid window. |
| 7 DB8/SDATA | Data bit 8 / serial data | SDATA is open-drain; valid on falling SCLK edge while SSTRB low; 4.7 kΩ pull-up required. |
| 8–11 DB7/LOW–DB4/LOW | Configurable data outputs | Function shifts between DB7–DB4 and upper/lower byte based on HBEN and 12/8/CLK logic levels. |
| 12 DGND | Digital ground reference | Isolated return path for digital logic; must be separated from AGND except at single-point star ground. |
| 13–16 DB3/DB11–DB0/DB8 | Configurable data outputs | Same dual-role behavior as pins 8–11; collectively deliver full 12-bit word or split byte streams. |
| 17 VDD | +5 V supply (±5%) | Power for digital circuitry and interface logic; requires local 0.1 μF ceramic decoupling. |
| 18 AGND | Analog ground reference | Return for track-and-hold, DAC, and reference; connects to system analog ground plane. |
| 19 REF OUT | 3 V reference output | Internally trimmed Zener; capable of sourcing 500 μA; max 50 pF capacitive load. |
| 20 VIN | Bipolar analog input | Accepts ±10 V differential input; input impedance ≈33 kΩ; designed for direct sensor connection. |
| 21 VSS | −5 V supply (±5%) | Power for analog core and track-and-hold; requires separate 0.1 μF ceramic decoupling. |
| 22 12/8/CLK | Mode select input | +5 V = 12-bit parallel only; 0 V = byte/serial with gated SCLK; −5 V = byte/serial with continuous SCLK. |
| 23 CONVST | Convert start trigger | Rising-edge asynchronous start; initiates track-to-hold transition and conversion sequence. |
| 24 CS | Chip select | Active-low enables device; falling edge can initiate conversion if CONVST tied low. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, ±10 V input ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7875CRZ | Unipolar 0 V to +5 V input range; same package, pinout, and interface logic; lacks ±10 V scaling network. | Requires external level-shifting for bipolar signals; unsuitable for direct ±10 V sensor interfacing. | Select only if system uses unipolar sensors or has dedicated front-end signal conditioning. |
| ADS8505IPW | 16-bit SAR ADC; ±10 V input; SPI-only interface; no internal reference; requires external 4.096 V reference. | Higher resolution but no parallel/byte modes; lacks integrated reference and track-and-hold; needs external clock and reference. | Choose when 16-bit resolution is mandatory and system can accommodate SPI interface and external reference design. |
Compared with AD7876CRZ, AD7875CRZ omits bipolar scaling and cannot directly replace it in ±10 V applications, while ADS8505IPW trades interface flexibility and integration for higher resolution and requires additional support components.

FAQ
What is the maximum analog input frequency the AD7876CRZ can accurately digitize?
The AD7876CRZ can convert full-power signals up to 50 kHz while maintaining 12-bit accuracy. This is enabled by its 2 μs track-and-hold acquisition time and 8 μs conversion time, yielding a 10 μs total cycle at 100 kHz sampling rate. Performance is specified per dynamic tests in Table 2, with SNR ≥69 dB and THD ≤−78 dB at 10 kHz input under fSAMPLE = 100 kHz conditions. The AD7876CRZ does not specify dynamic performance beyond 50 kHz in official documentation.
Does the AD7876CRZ require external components to operate?
No, the AD7876CRZ is a complete ADC requiring only power supply decoupling capacitors: 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors placed close to VDD and VSS pins. It integrates a laser-trimmed internal clock, 3 V buried Zener reference, and track-and-hold amplifier. External components like pull-up resistors (4.7 kΩ on SSTRB/SDATA, 2 kΩ on SCLK) are required only for serial interface operation-not for basic parallel mode functionality.
How is the ±10 V input range implemented in the AD7876CRZ?
AD7876CRZ implements ±10 V input range using an internal resistor scaling network connected to the track-and-hold amplifier input, as shown in Figure 9 of the datasheet. This network (2.1R/7R/3R topology) attenuates the ±10 V input to match the internal 3 V reference range, eliminating need for external op-amp gain stages. Input resistance is ≈33 kΩ, and the output code remains two's complement binary with 1 LSB = 4.88 mV (20 V / 4096).
Can the AD7876CRZ be used with a microcontroller lacking a 12-bit data bus?
Yes, the AD7876CRZ supports byte-mode and serial interfaces. In byte mode (controlled by HBEN and 12/8/CLK), it outputs two 8-bit words-upper byte on DB7–DB0 when HBEN is high, lower byte when HBEN is low. In serial mode, it transmits 12-bit data via SDATA, clocked by SCLK and framed by SSTRB. Both modes eliminate requirement for a native 12-bit parallel bus.
What is the operating temperature range for the AD7876CRZ part number?
The AD7876CRZ is rated for industrial operation from −40°C to +85°C. The 'C' grade designation corresponds to the B/C temperature option defined in Table 2 of the datasheet, which specifies performance limits (e.g., ±1 LSB INL max, ±35 ppm/°C reference tempco) across this full range. Absolute maximum ratings extend to −55°C to +125°C, but guaranteed specifications apply only within −40°C to +85°C.
