Product details
Overview
AD7887BR-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a micropower, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC supporting dual- or 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 where low power and compact size are critical.
For engineers reviewing the AD7887BR-REEL7 datasheet, AD7887BR-REEL7 pinout, AD7887BR-REEL7 application, or AD7887BR-REEL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-lead MSOP package, 1 μA shutdown current, 2.5 MHz full-power bandwidth, configurable reference architecture (internal 2.5 V or external 1.2 V–VDD), and dual-channel isolation of −80 dB at 25 kHz.
Technical Context
The AD7887BR-REEL7 implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, acquiring signals in 500 ns and completing conversion in 7.25 μs (at 2 MHz SCLK). Its control logic supports four power modes via PM1/PM0 bits, including automatic shutdown after conversion (Mode 3) and standby with internal reference active (Mode 4).
It features dual functional pin AIN1/VREF: in single-channel mode it serves as 2.5 V reference output/input (±50 ppm/°C drift); in dual-channel mode it becomes second analog input (0–VDD range), while VDD supplies the reference. Input coding is straight binary, LSB = VREF/4096, with guaranteed no missing codes to 11 bits (B-grade).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 1 part-in-4096 quantization granularity for precision sensor or signal monitoring applications. |
| Throughput Rate | 125 kSPS - enables real-time sampling of baseband signals up to 2.5 MHz (Nyquist-limited), suitable for high-speed modem front-ends. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.25 V - supports direct interfacing with 3 V and 5 V logic systems without level-shifting or auxiliary regulators. |
| Shutdown Current | 1 μA max (VDD = 2.7–3.6 V) - reduces system quiescent power by >99% during idle periods in portable devices. |
| SNR @ 10 kHz | 71 dB typ - provides >11.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) for clean digitization of audio-band and biomedical waveforms. |
| Channel Isolation | −80 dB @ 25 kHz - ensures minimal crosstalk between AIN0 and AIN1 in dual-channel acquisition of independent sensors. |
| Reference Flexibility | Internal 2.5 V ±50 ppm/°C or external 1.2 V–VDD - allows calibration-grade stability or system-level rail-referenced scaling. |
Pinout & Package
AD7887BR-REEL7 is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package), 3 mm × 3 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel format (REEL7 = 1000-piece reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CS | Chip Select / Shutdown Control | Active-low input that initiates conversion and frames serial data; high state forces shutdown in Mode 1, enabling ultra-low-power sleep without external logic. |
| 2 - VDD | Power Supply Input | Single 2.7–5.25 V supply; also serves as reference source in dual-channel mode, eliminating need for external reference in rail-to-rail input systems. |
| 3 - GND | Analog Ground Reference | Common return for all internal circuitry; must be tied to system AGND plane near this pin to minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog path. |
| 4 - AIN1/VREF | Configurable Terminal | In single-channel mode: 2.5 V reference output/input (±50 ppm/°C); in dual-channel mode: second analog input (0–VDD range). |
| 5 - AIN0 | Analog Input Channel 0 | Primary input with 0–VREF range (single-channel) or 0–VDD range (dual-channel); 20 pF input capacitance requires careful PCB layout for high-frequency signals. |
| 6 - DIN | Serial Data Input | Writes 8-bit control register on rising SCLK edges; tying to GND enables read-only single-channel operation without microcontroller intervention. |
| 7 - DOUT | Serial Data Output | Outputs 16-bit frame (4 leading zeros + 12-bit result, MSB first) on falling SCLK edge; three-state capable for bus sharing. |
| 8 - SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Drives both serial interface and internal ADC conversion clock; supports up to 2 MHz, defining minimum conversion time of 7.25 μs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Smallest 12-bit dual/single ADC | 8-lead MSOP package (3 mm × 3 mm) reduces PCB area by >40% vs. SOIC, critical for space-constrained wearables and handhelds. |
| Lowest power 12-bit ADC | 2 mW typical at 5 V / 125 kSPS; 3 μW in shutdown - extends battery life in PDA and remote sensor nodes beyond 1 year. |
| Flexible power management | Four selectable modes (Modes 1–4) enable automatic post-conversion shutdown or fast-wake standby - eliminates firmware overhead for power sequencing. |
| Read-only ADC capability | DIN tied to GND configures default single-channel mode with no control register writes - simplifies integration in fixed-function systems. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP compatibility | Standard serial timing and framing allow direct connection to ADSP-21xx, ARM Cortex-M, and TI C2000 microcontrollers without protocol translation. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, 2.7–5.5 V, 8-pin SOIC only; no internal reference; requires external REF; higher 3.5 mW power at 5 V. | Best suited for designs already using external precision reference and needing higher speed than AD7887BR-REEL7. | Select when throughput >125 kSPS is mandatory and board space allows SOIC; avoid if internal reference or MSOP footprint is required. |
| MAX11100ETE+ | 12-bit, 100 kSPS, 2.7–3.6 V only; internal 2.048 V reference; 12-pin TQFN; 0.5 μA shutdown; SPI-only interface. | Ideal for ultra-low-voltage, ultra-low-power 3 V systems where 2.048 V reference aligns with DAC or sensor scaling. | Prefer for 3 V-only battery systems prioritizing sub-μA shutdown; not suitable for 5 V operation or dual-channel mode. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11100ETE+, the AD7887BR-REEL7 uniquely combines dual-channel flexibility, internal 2.5 V reference with external overdrive capability, MSOP packaging, and 125 kSPS performance across 2.7–5.25 V - making it optimal for mixed-voltage portable instrumentation requiring minimal external components and layout area.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7887BR-REEL7?
The AD7887BR-REEL7 achieves a maximum throughput rate of 125 kSPS when operated with a 2 MHz SCLK. This corresponds to a total conversion + acquisition time of 16 SCLK cycles (7.25 μs conversion + 0.75 μs acquisition). At lower clock frequencies, the rate scales linearly - e.g., 1 MHz SCLK yields ~62.5 kSPS. The 125 kSPS rating is validated across the full −40°C to +125°C temperature range and 2.7–5.25 V supply.
Does the AD7887BR-REEL7 include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7887BR-REEL7 integrates a 2.5 V internal reference with ±50 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, accessible via the AIN1/VREF pin in single-channel mode. This reference can be overdriven by an external source (1.2 V to VDD) for improved accuracy or system-level scaling. In dual-channel mode, the internal reference is disabled by default (REF bit = 1), and VDD serves as the reference.
Can the AD7887BR-REEL7 operate in a read-only configuration without writing to its control register?
Yes, the AD7887BR-REEL7 supports read-only operation by tying the DIN pin permanently to GND. In this configuration, it defaults to single-channel mode (AIN0 only), uses the internal 2.5 V reference, and ignores control register writes - simplifying hardware design for fixed-function applications like sensor front-ends where channel count and reference are static.
What power management modes does the AD7887BR-REEL7 support, and how are they selected?
The AD7887BR-REEL7 offers four power management modes controlled by PM1/PM0 bits in its 8-bit control register: 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 power significantly in burst-sampling applications, while Mode 4 enables faster wake-up than full shutdown - both configurable without external circuitry.
Is the AD7887BR-REEL7 pin-compatible with other members of the AD7887 family?
Yes, the AD7887BR-REEL7 shares identical pinout and functionality with all AD7887 variants (e.g., AD7887AR, AD7887BRZ) in the 8-lead MSOP package. Differences are limited to grade (B-grade specifies ±1 LSB DNL), packaging (REEL7 = tape-and-reel), and ordering suffixes - ensuring drop-in replacement across temperature and reliability grades without layout changes.
