Product details
Overview
AD7887ARMZ from Analog Devices is a micropower, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with dual/single-channel operation, 125 kSPS throughput, 2.7 V to 5.25 V single-supply operation, and internal 2.5 V reference. It features SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface and operates in 8-lead MSOP package for space-constrained battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7887ARMZ datasheet, AD7887ARMZ pinout, AD7887ARMZ application, or AD7887ARMZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its flexible power management (1 μA shutdown), channel configuration via control register, straight binary output coding, and dual-mode analog input range (0–VREF or 0–VDD).
Technical Context
The AD7887ARMZ uses charge-redistribution DAC architecture with track-and-hold acquisition time of 500 ns and full-power bandwidth of 2.5 MHz. Its control register enables software-selectable single/dual-channel mode, reference source (internal 2.5 V or external 1.2 V to VDD), and four power management modes including automatic shutdown post-conversion.
Conversion timing is synchronized to SCLK (up to 2 MHz), requiring 16 clock cycles per transfer: 4 leading zeros + 12-bit MSB-first result on DOUT, clocked on falling edge; control data loaded on DIN at rising edge. Input voltage ranges are strictly defined: 0–VREF in single-channel mode, 0–VDD in dual-channel mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit SAR ADC with straight binary output coding and guaranteed no missing codes to 11 bits (B grade) |
| Throughput Rate | 125 kSPS maximum - achieved with 2 MHz SCLK and 16-cycle serial frame (acquisition + conversion) |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.25 V single supply - supports both 3 V and 5 V system rails without level shifting |
| Power Consumption | 850 μA typical at 125 kSPS (VDD = 5 V); 1 μA max shutdown current - enables multi-year battery life in portable systems |
| Reference Options | Internal 2.5 V ±50 ppm/°C reference or external 1.2 V to VDD - selectable via REF bit in control register |
| Dynamic Performance | 71 dB SNR at 10 kHz input, −80 dB THD - sufficient for precision instrumentation and medical signal acquisition |
| Analog Input Range | 0 to VREF (single-channel) or 0 to VDD (dual-channel) - configurable via SIN/DUAL bit without hardware change |
Pinout & Package
The AD7887ARMZ is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), qualified for automotive applications (−40°C to +125°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select / Shutdown Control | Active-low input that initiates conversion and frames serial data; high state places AD7887ARMZ in shutdown (1 μA) when PM bits select Mode 1 or 3 |
| VDD | Power Supply Input | 2.7 V to 5.25 V single supply; serves as reference source in dual-channel mode |
| GND | Analog Ground Reference | Common ground for all internal circuitry; must connect to AGND plane in mixed-signal layouts |
| AIN1/VREF | Configurable Terminal | In single-channel mode: 2.5 V reference output/input; in dual-channel mode: second analog input (0–VDD range) |
| AIN0 | Analog Input 0 | Primary analog input; range is 0–VREF (single-channel) or 0–VDD (dual-channel) |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Loads 8-bit control register on SCLK rising edge; tied to GND for read-only single-channel operation |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | Outputs 16-bit frame (4 zeros + 12-bit result, MSB first) on SCLK falling edge |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Provides clock for serial interface and internal ADC conversion; up to 2 MHz operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flexible Channel Configuration | Software-selectable single/dual-channel mode via control register - eliminates need for hardware variants or BOM splits |
| Ultra-Low Power Management | Four programmable power modes including auto-shutdown after conversion - reduces average current in burst-sampling systems |
| Integrated Reference Architecture | On-chip 2.5 V ±50 ppm/°C reference with external overdrive capability (1.2 V to VDD) - removes external reference IC and saves PCB area |
| SPI-Compatible Serial Interface | MSB-first, 16-cycle frame with simultaneous DIN/DOUT - simplifies microcontroller integration without protocol translation logic |
| High DC Accuracy | ±1 LSB INL (B grade), ±0.5 LSB offset match - enables direct sensor interfacing without calibration in many industrial applications |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7476ARMZ | Single-channel only; 1 MSPS max; no internal reference; requires external 2.5 V reference | Lacks dual-channel flexibility and reference integration - suitable only where higher speed and external reference are acceptable | Select when throughput >125 kSPS is required and board space allows external reference |
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution; 200 kSPS; SPI interface; 2.7–5.25 V supply; no internal reference | Lower resolution and no integrated reference - trades precision for cost and speed in non-critical sensing | Select for cost-sensitive, lower-accuracy applications where 8-bit resolution suffices |
Compared with AD7887ARMZ, AD7476ARMZ offers higher speed but sacrifices dual-channel operation and reference integration, increasing BOM count; ADS7822U provides faster sampling at lower resolution and higher power, making it unsuitable for precision battery-powered use cases where AD7887ARMZ's 12-bit accuracy and micropower shutdown are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7887ARMZ?
The AD7887ARMZ supports a maximum throughput rate of 125 kSPS when operated with a 2 MHz SCLK and configured for continuous conversion. This rate is achieved using a 16-clock-cycle serial frame (14.5 cycles conversion + 1.5 cycles acquisition). At lower SCLK frequencies or in power-saving modes (e.g., Mode 3 auto-shutdown), the effective sampling rate decreases proportionally while maintaining full 12-bit accuracy.
Does the AD7887ARMZ require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7887ARMZ includes an internal 2.5 V reference with ±50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, accessible via the AIN1/VREF pin in single-channel mode. An external reference (1.2 V to VDD) may be applied to that same pin to override the internal reference. In dual-channel mode, the device uses VDD as the reference source, eliminating need for any external reference component.
How does the AD7887ARMZ handle dual-channel versus single-channel operation?
The AD7887ARMZ configures channel count via the SIN/DUAL bit (Bit 4) in its 8-bit control register. When set to 0, it operates in single-channel mode: AIN0 is active, and AIN1/VREF functions as VREF. When set to 1, it operates in dual-channel mode: both AIN0 and AIN1 accept inputs (0–VDD range), and VDD serves as reference. The CH bit (Bit 3) selects which channel converts next in dual-channel mode.
What power management modes are available on the AD7887ARMZ?
The AD7887ARMZ offers four power management modes controlled by PM1/PM0 bits (Bits 1–0): Mode 1 (CS-gated shutdown), Mode 2 (always-on), Mode 3 (auto-shutdown after conversion), and Mode 4 (standby with reference active). Mode 3 reduces average current significantly in low-duty-cycle applications, while Mode 4 enables faster wake-up than full shutdown - both critical for optimizing energy in battery-powered AD7887ARMZ systems.
Is the AD7887ARMZ compatible with standard microcontroller SPI peripherals?
Yes, the AD7887ARMZ implements an SPI-compatible serial interface: it accepts MSB-first 8-bit control words on DIN (rising SCLK edge) and outputs 16-bit frames (4 zeros + 12-bit result) on DOUT (falling SCLK edge). It supports standard SPI clock polarity and phase configurations and is explicitly documented as compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP interfaces - enabling direct connection to most ARM Cortex-M, PIC, and MSP430 microcontrollers without glue logic.
