Product details
Overview
AD7887BR from Analog Devices is a micropower, 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with dual/single-channel operation, 125 kSPS throughput, 2.7 V to 5.25 V single-supply operation, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface - used in battery-powered medical instruments and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7887BR datasheet, AD7887BR pinout, AD7887BR application, or AD7887BR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-lead MSOP package, 1 μA shutdown current, 2.5 MHz full-power bandwidth, flexible reference configuration (internal 2.5 V or external 1.2 V–VDD), and channel-to-channel isolation of −80 dB at 25 kHz.
Technical Context
The AD7887BR implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, acquiring signals in 500 ns. Its control register enables software-selectable single/dual-channel mode, reference source (internal 2.5 V or external), and four power management modes including automatic shutdown post-conversion.
It supports straight binary output coding, 0 V to VREF input range in single-channel mode, and 0 V to VDD range in dual-channel mode. The serial interface operates with SCLK up to 2 MHz, outputs 16-bit frames (4 leading zeros + 12-bit result), and clocks data on falling SCLK edges while accepting control bits on rising edges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 1 LSB = VREF/4096 quantization step for precision measurement |
| Throughput Rate | 125 kSPS - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 2.5 MHz (Nyquist-limited) |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.25 V - supports direct interfacing with 3 V and 5 V logic/system rails |
| Shutdown Current | 1 μA max - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling portable systems |
| SNR | 71 dB typ at 10 kHz - ensures >11.5 effective bits for clean signal acquisition |
| Channel Isolation | −80 dB at 25 kHz - prevents crosstalk between AIN0 and AIN1 in dual-channel use |
| Reference Options | Internal 2.5 V ±50 ppm/°C or external 1.2 V to VDD - allows flexible scaling without external reference IC |
Pinout & Package
The AD7887BR is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select / Shutdown Control | Active-low input that initiates conversion and frames serial transfer; high state forces shutdown (1 μA) in default mode |
| VDD | Power Supply Input | Single 2.7 V–5.25 V supply; provides reference voltage for ADC in dual-channel mode |
| GND | Analog Ground Reference | Common AGND connection point; requires low-impedance tie to system analog ground plane |
| 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 | Main input channel; range = 0 to VREF (single-mode) or 0 to VDD (dual-mode) |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Accepts 8-bit control register writes on SCLK rising edge; can be tied to GND for read-only 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 both serial communication and internal ADC conversion timing (up to 2 MHz) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flexible Channel Configuration | Software-selectable single- or dual-channel mode via 8-bit control register, enabling hardware reuse across sensor-count variants |
| Ultra-Low Power Management | Four programmable power modes including auto-shutdown after conversion, reducing average power in burst-sampling applications |
| Integrated Reference Architecture | On-chip 2.5 V reference with ±50 ppm/°C drift and external overdrive capability (1.2 V–VDD), eliminating need for discrete reference IC |
| SPI-Compatible Serial Interface | 16-bit frame format (4 leading zeros + 12-bit result), MSB-first, compatible with standard microcontroller SPI peripherals without glue logic |
| High-Speed Track-and-Hold | 500 ns acquisition time enables accurate sampling of fast transients and wideband signals up to 2.5 MHz full-power bandwidth |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7476ARTZ-REEL7 | 12-bit, 1 MSPS, 3.6 V max supply, no dual-channel mode, no internal reference | Higher speed but lacks flexible reference and multi-channel support; requires external reference and level-shifting for 5 V systems | Select when throughput >125 kSPS is critical and dual-channel operation is unnecessary |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, 2.7–5.25 V, SPI interface, no internal reference, 8-pin SOIC only | Higher throughput and identical supply range, but requires external 2.5 V reference and offers no MSOP option | Select when board space allows SOIC and external reference design is already established |
Compared with AD7887BR, AD7476ARTZ-REEL7 trades dual-channel flexibility and integrated reference for higher speed, while ADS7822U matches supply range and throughput but adds external reference dependency and excludes MSOP packaging - making AD7887BR optimal for compact, low-power, multi-sensor designs needing reference integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7887BR?
The AD7887BR supports a maximum throughput rate of 125 kSPS when operated with a 2 MHz SCLK. This rate is achieved with a total conversion time of 14.5 SCLK cycles plus 1.5 SCLK cycles for track-and-hold acquisition, totaling 16 SCLK cycles per sample. At 2 MHz, this yields exactly 125,000 samples per second, confirmed in Table 1 and General Description section of the Rev. E datasheet.
Does the AD7887BR include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7887BR integrates a 2.5 V internal reference with ±50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, accessible at the AIN1/VREF pin in single-channel mode. When enabled (REF bit = 0), it provides stable scaling for AIN0; when disabled (REF bit = 1), the pin serves as AIN1 in dual-channel mode or accepts external references from 1.2 V to VDD - a capability explicitly defined in Pin Function Descriptions and Control Register sections.
Can the AD7887BR operate in a read-only configuration without using the DIN pin?
Yes, the AD7887BR supports true read-only operation: tying the DIN pin permanently to GND configures it as a single-channel, fixed-mode ADC that requires no control register writes. In this mode, it defaults to single-channel operation with internal reference enabled, outputting conversion results continuously upon CS assertion - a feature documented in the General Description and Control Register sections of the datasheet.
What are the power consumption characteristics of the AD7887BR in shutdown mode?
In shutdown mode (PM1/PM0 = 00 or 11), the AD7887BR draws ≤1 μA at 2.7–3.6 V and ≤2 μA at 4.75–5.25 V, with corresponding power dissipation of ≤5 μW at 5 V and ≤3 μW at 3 V. These values are specified in the POWER REQUIREMENTS table (Page 4) and verified across −40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for long-duration battery standby applications.
Is the AD7887BR pin-compatible with other members of the AD7887 family?
Yes, the AD7887BR shares identical pinout and function mapping with all AD7887 variants (e.g., AD7887AR, AD7887BN), including the 8-lead MSOP and SOIC packages. Pin configurations in Figures 3 and 4, along with Table 4's function descriptions, confirm consistent CS/VDD/GND/AIN1-VREF/AIN0/DIN/DOUT/SCLK assignment across all versions - enabling drop-in replacement within the same package type.
