Product details
Overview
AD7887BR-REEL from Analog Devices is a micropower, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC supporting single- or dual-channel operation, 125 kSPS throughput, 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply, and 2.5 V internal reference - used in battery-powered medical instruments and portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7887BR-REEL datasheet, AD7887BR-REEL pinout, AD7887BR-REEL application, or AD7887BR-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-lead MSOP package, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, configurable power-down modes (1 μA shutdown), and dual-input voltage range flexibility (0–VREF or 0–VDD).
Technical Context
The AD7887BR-REEL implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, achieving full-power bandwidth of 2.5 MHz and 500 ns acquisition time. Its control logic supports software-configurable operation via an 8-bit write-only register that selects single/dual channel mode, reference source (internal 2.5 V or external 1.2–VDD), and one of four power management modes.
Conversion uses straight binary coding with LSB = VREF/4096; analog inputs feature ±5 μA leakage and 20 pF capacitance. The device operates across −40°C to +125°C and is qualified for automotive applications, with CMOS construction enabling 2 mW typical active power dissipation at 5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output levels for high-fidelity signal digitization in instrumentation. |
| Throughput Rate | 125 kSPS - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 2.5 MHz (Nyquist-limited), suitable for modem and sensor monitoring. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.25 V - supports direct integration into both 3 V and 5 V embedded systems without level-shifting. |
| Reference Source | Internal 2.5 V ±50 ppm/°C or external 1.2 V to VDD - allows precision scaling of input range (0–VREF or 0–VDD) per channel configuration. |
| Shutdown Current | 1 μA max (VDD = 2.7–3.6 V) - extends battery life in PDA and wearable medical devices during idle periods. |
| SNR | 71 dB typ at 10 kHz - ensures clean digitization of low-amplitude physiological or sensor signals with minimal noise floor impact. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB max (B grade) - guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes to 11 bits, critical for closed-loop control accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
AD7887BR-REEL is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select / Shutdown Enable | Active-low input initiating conversion and framing serial transfer; high state forces shutdown in Mode 1, reducing current to 1 μA. |
| VDD | Power Supply Input | Single 2.7–5.25 V rail powering analog and digital sections; serves as reference source in dual-channel mode. |
| GND | Analog Ground Reference | Common AGND connection point; requires tight coupling to system analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 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 input with range 0–VREF (single-channel) or 0–VDD (dual-channel); 20 pF input capacitance demands careful driver design. |
| DIN | Serial Data Input | Accepts 8-bit control register writes on SCLK rising edge; can be tied to GND for read-only single-channel operation. |
| DOUT | Serial Data Output | Outputs 16-bit frame (4 leading zeros + 12-bit result, MSB first) on SCLK falling edge; three-state capable. |
| SCLK | Serial Clock Input | 2 MHz max clock driving both interface timing and internal SAR conversion; defines throughput and acquisition timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flexible channel configuration | Software-selectable single- or dual-channel mode via control register - eliminates hardware redesign when adding sensor channels. |
| Lowest-power 12-bit dual/single ADC | 2 mW typical at 5 V, 3 μW in shutdown - enables multi-year battery life in remote IoT sensors and handheld diagnostics. |
| Integrated 2.5 V reference | ±50 ppm/°C drift with 2.45–2.55 V output - removes need for external reference IC, saving BOM cost and board area. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP compatibility | Standard serial protocol support - simplifies firmware integration with common microcontrollers (e.g., ADSP-21xx, ARM Cortex-M). |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 stress-tested for −40°C to +125°C operation - suitable for engine control, battery monitoring, and ADAS sensor front-ends. |

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 internal reference, 6-lead SOT-23 package | Higher speed but lacks dual-channel capability and internal reference - requires external REF and additional routing for multi-sensor use. | Select when throughput >125 kSPS is mandatory and board space is extremely constrained; not drop-in due to pin count and reference dependency. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, 2.7–5.25 V, internal reference, 8-lead SOIC (not MSOP), SPI-compatible | Same voltage and reference specs but larger SOIC footprint and higher typical IDD (1.2 mA vs. 0.85 mA) - less optimal for ultra-low-power portable designs. | Consider for legacy SOIC layouts where MSOP rework is prohibitive; verify thermal performance as θJA = 157°C/W (vs. 205.9°C/W for AD7887BR-REEL MSOP). |
Compared with AD7887BR-REEL, AD7476ARTZ-REEL7 trades dual-channel flexibility and internal reference for speed and size, while ADS7822U matches functionality but increases power and footprint - making AD7887BR-REEL optimal for space- and energy-constrained dual-sensor applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7887BR-REEL?
The AD7887BR-REEL achieves a maximum throughput rate of 125 kSPS when operated with a 2 MHz SCLK and VDD between 2.7 V and 5.25 V. This rate includes both conversion time (14.5 SCLK cycles) and track/hold acquisition time (1.5 SCLK cycles), totaling 16 SCLK cycles per sample. Performance remains stable across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C).
Does the AD7887BR-REEL include an internal voltage reference, and can it be disabled?
Yes, the AD7887BR-REEL integrates a 2.5 V internal reference with ±50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 2.45–2.55 V output range. It can be disabled via the REF bit (Bit 5) in the 8-bit control register: setting REF = 1 disconnects the internal reference, allowing an external voltage (1.2 V to VDD) to be applied to the AIN1/VREF pin for custom scaling - required for optimal performance in dual-channel mode.
How does the AD7887BR-REEL handle single-channel versus dual-channel operation?
The AD7887BR-REEL configures channel count via the SIN/DUAL bit (Bit 4) in its control register. When SIN/DUAL = 0, it operates in single-channel mode: AIN0 is active (0–VREF range), and AIN1/VREF functions as VREF. When SIN/DUAL = 1, it enters dual-channel mode: both AIN0 and AIN1 accept 0–VDD inputs, and VDD supplies the reference. The CH bit (Bit 3) then selects which channel converts next.
What power management modes are available on the AD7887BR-REEL, and how do they affect current draw?
The AD7887BR-REEL offers four programmable power modes controlled by PM1/PM0 bits. Mode 1 enables CS-triggered shutdown (1 μA). Mode 2 maintains full operation (850 μA typ). Mode 3 auto-enters shutdown post-conversion (12 μA typ at 1 kSPS). Mode 4 provides standby with reference active (210 μA typ). All modes retain register state and allow fast wake-up without reconfiguration.
Is the AD7887BR-REEL compatible with standard microcontroller serial interfaces?
Yes, the AD7887BR-REEL features a SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface. It accepts 8-bit control words on DIN (SCLK rising edge) and outputs 16-bit results on DOUT (SCLK falling edge, MSB first), with CS framing. No special timing or protocol extensions are needed - it interoperates directly with STM32, PIC, ADSP, and other MCUs supporting standard 3-wire SPI configurations.
