Product details
Overview
AD7880BR-REEL from Analog Devices is a 12-bit monolithic successive-approximation ADC operating from a single +5 V supply, featuring 12 µs conversion time, 3 µs track/hold acquisition, and 70 dB SNR at 66 kHz sampling rate. It supports unipolar (0 V to +5 V, 0 V to +10 V) and bipolar (±5 V) input ranges and targets high-speed data acquisition in portable instrumentation and DSP systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7880BR-REEL datasheet, AD7880BR-REEL pinout, AD7880BR-REEL application, or AD7880BR-REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include its LC2MOS process-based low-power operation (2 mW in power-save mode), SOIC-24 package compatibility, three-state parallel digital interface, and support for microprocessor/DSP interfacing without external timing components.
Technical Context
The AD7880BR-REEL integrates a charge-balanced comparator that provides an inherent track-and-hold function, enabling full 12-bit acquisition in ≤3 µs. Its SAR architecture uses a fast-settling voltage-output DAC and operates synchronously with a 2.5 MHz external clock, delivering a total throughput time of 15 µs (12 µs conversion + 3 µs acquisition).
Input range selection is achieved via internal resistor networks and external pin configuration (VINA/VINB/VREF), allowing operation across 0 V to +5 V, 0 V to +10 V, and ±5 V without external op amps. The MODE pin controls power state: logic high enables normal operation (25 mW typ), logic low activates power-save mode (2 mW typ).

Pinout & Package
AD7880BR-REEL is housed in a 24-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package, 0.3 inch wide, RoHS-compliant, and optimized for surface-mount assembly on space-constrained PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VINA | Analog Input A | Primary analog input node; used with VINB and VREF to configure unipolar/bipolar ranges per Figures 5–7 |
| VINB | Analog Input B | Secondary analog reference node; determines input range polarity and scaling when tied to AGND or VREF |
| AGND | Analog Ground | Reference return for analog circuitry; must be isolated from DGND to minimize noise coupling |
| VREF | Reference Input | Accepts 2.5 V to 5 V; typically tied to VDD for specified performance; sets full-scale range |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for data bus; must be low with RD low to assert DB0–DB11 outputs |
| CONVST | Convert Start | Rising-edge-triggered asynchronous control; initiates track-to-hold transition and conversion cycle |
| RD | Read Strobe | Active-low signal enabling parallel data output; latches conversion result onto DB0–DB11 |
| BUSY | Conversion Status | Active-low open-drain output; remains low during conversion; signals completion when high |
| CLKIN | External Clock Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible 2.5 MHz clock source; mark/space ratio 40/60 to 60/40 accepted |
| DGND | Digital Ground | Return path for logic I/O; requires separate plane from AGND with single-point connection |
| DB0–DB11 | Parallel Data Outputs | Three-state, 12-bit straight-binary output bus; driven only when CS and RD are low |
| MODE | Power Mode Control | Logic high = normal operation (25 mW); logic low = power-save mode (2 mW) |
| VDD | +5 V Supply | Nominal +5 V ±5%; powers both analog and digital sections; decoupling capacitor required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single +5 V supply operation | Eliminates need for dual ±5 V rails or charge pumps, reducing BOM count and layout complexity |
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | 3 µs acquisition time enables accurate sampling of 12-bit signals without external THA |
| Multiple input range support | Hardware-configurable 0 V to +5 V, 0 V to +10 V, and ±5 V ranges using only VINA/VINB/VREF pins |
| Fast parallel interface | 57 ns data access time allows direct connection to 16-bit microprocessors without glue logic |
| LC2MOS fabrication process | Combines precision bipolar analog front-end with low-power CMOS logic for optimal SNR/power trade-off |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7888BRZ | 8-channel, serial SPI interface; 100 kSPS; 71 dB SNR; same SOIC-24 package | Replaces parallel bus with daisy-chainable serial interface; suited for multiplexed multi-sensor systems | Select when channel count >1 and board space or wiring count is constrained; requires SPI host firmware changes |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, SPI interface, 3.3 V supply; 70 dB SNR; MSOP-8 package | Lower voltage, smaller footprint, higher speed; lacks bipolar input and on-chip track/hold | Select for 3.3 V systems with space limits; requires external THA and level-shifting for ±5 V inputs |
Compared with AD7880BR-REEL, AD7888BRZ offers higher channel density and serial flexibility but sacrifices parallel bus simplicity, while ADS7822U reduces size and supply voltage at the cost of missing integrated track/hold and bipolar input capability-making AD7880BR-REEL optimal for fixed-input, microprocessor-connected, low-power 12-bit acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7880BR-REEL?
The AD7880BR-REEL supports a maximum throughput rate of 66 kHz, corresponding to a minimum total cycle time of 15 µs (12 µs conversion + 3 µs track/hold acquisition). This allows full-power signal sampling up to 33 kHz per Nyquist criterion. Performance is guaranteed with a 2.5 MHz CLKIN; reducing clock frequency degrades linearity due to hold-capacitor leakage.
Does the AD7880BR-REEL require external components for basic operation?
No, the AD7880BR-REEL requires only a 2.5 MHz external clock source and standard power supply decoupling capacitors (typically 0.1 µF ceramic near VDD and AGND/DGND pins). It integrates a track/hold amplifier, reference buffer, and SAR core-no external op amps, resistors, or timing ICs are needed for unipolar or bipolar input configurations.
How does the MODE pin affect power consumption in the AD7880BR-REEL?
The MODE pin directly controls power state: when pulled to VDD, AD7880BR-REEL operates in normal mode (25 mW typ at +25°C); when pulled to 0 V, it enters power-save mode (2 mW typ at +25°C). This feature enables rapid wake-up (<1 µs) and is ideal for duty-cycled acquisition in battery-powered devices without sacrificing conversion accuracy.
Can the AD7880BR-REEL interface directly with a 16-bit microprocessor like the MC68000?
Yes, the AD7880BR-REEL's 57 ns data access time and three-state parallel DB0–DB11 bus allow direct connection to the MC68000. As shown in Figure 18 of the datasheet, CS drives DTACK, AS/R/W generate RD, and BUSY can optionally trigger interrupts-enabling standard MOVE.W instructions without wait-state insertion or address decoding logic.
What analog input ranges does the AD7880BR-REEL support, and how are they selected?
The AD7880BR-REEL supports three hardware-configured input ranges: 0 V to +5 V, 0 V to +10 V, and ±5 V. Selection is determined by connections among VINA, VINB, and VREF per Figures 5–7. For example, tying VINB to AGND and VREF to VDD configures the 0 V to +10 V range; tying VINB to VREF configures ±5 V. No software or register writes are involved.
