Product details
Overview
AD7888BRZ from Analog Devices is a micropower, 12-bit, 8-channel successive-approximation ADC operating from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply, delivering 125 kSPS throughput with 500 ns track/hold acquisition time and integrated 2.5 V reference; used in battery-powered medical instruments and portable instrumentation for high-resolution analog signal digitization.
For engineers reviewing the AD7888BRZ datasheet, AD7888BRZ pinout, AD7888BRZ application, or AD7888BRZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-bit resolution with ±1 LSB DNL (B-grade), SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, 16-lead TSSOP package, and flexible power management supporting 1 µA shutdown current at 1 kSPS.
Technical Context
The AD7888BRZ implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with on-chip track-and-hold, enabling full-power signal conversion up to 2.5 MHz bandwidth. Its control logic manages multiplexer selection (AIN1–AIN8), reference configuration (internal 2.5 V or external 1.2 V–VDD), and three power modes via PM1/PM0 bits.
Serial communication uses a 16-clock cycle frame: first 8 rising SCLK edges load the 8-bit control register (ADD2–ADD0, REF, PM1/PM0), while the next 8 falling edges output 4 leading zeros followed by 12-bit MSB-first conversion data on DOUT, synchronized to DIN input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output levels for precise analog measurement |
| Throughput Rate | 125 kSPS - supports real-time sampling of signals up to 2.5 MHz full-power bandwidth |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.25 V - enables direct operation from Li-ion, 3.3 V, or 5 V rails without regulation |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V ±50 ppm/°C or external 1.2 V–VDD - allows system-level reference sharing or precision calibration |
| Power Consumption | 2 mW typical at 5 V / 125 kSPS; 3 µW in shutdown - extends battery life in portable systems |
| Channel Count | 8 single-ended inputs (AIN1–AIN8) - reduces board space vs. multiple single-channel ADCs |
| Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible - interoperates with common microcontroller peripherals |
Pinout & Package
AD7888BRZ is housed in a 16-lead thin shrink small outline package (TSSOP), 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm body height, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low frame sync: initiates conversion and defines 16-clock serial transaction window |
| REF IN/REF OUT | Reference I/O | Provides access to internal 2.5 V reference or accepts external 1.2 V–VDD reference; impedance ~5 kΩ when enabled |
| VDD | Power Supply | Single 2.7–5.25 V supply powering analog and digital sections; decoupling required at pin |
| AGND (Pins 4, 13) | Analog Ground | Common return for all analog circuitry; must connect to clean analog ground plane, separate from digital ground |
| AIN1–AIN8 (Pins 5–12) | Analog Inputs | Single-ended channels with 0–VREF range; unused inputs must tie to AGND to prevent noise coupling |
| DIN | Data Input | Loads Control Register bits (ADD2–ADD0, REF, PM1/PM0) on rising SCLK edges |
| DOUT | Data Output | Outputs 16-bit frame: 4 leading zeros + 12-bit MSB-first result on falling SCLK edges |
| SCLK | Serial Clock | Master clock for both serial I/O and internal SAR conversion timing; max 2 MHz |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, 8-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, 2.7–5.25 V, but only 4-channel; no internal reference; requires external REF | Lower channel count limits multi-sensor use; higher throughput suits faster control loops | Select when higher speed is critical and channel count can be reduced or external mux added |
| MAX11131ETE+ | 12-bit, 500 kSPS, 2.7–3.6 V only; integrated reference; 10-pin TDFN package | Narrower supply range; smaller footprint but no 5 V compatibility or 8-channel support | Select for ultra-compact 3.3 V systems where size outweighs voltage flexibility and channel count |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX11131ETE+, the AD7888BRZ uniquely combines 8-channel count, internal 2.5 V reference, 5 V supply tolerance, and sub-µA shutdown-making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-sensor battery-powered designs requiring broad voltage operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7888BRZ?
The AD7888BRZ supports a maximum throughput rate of 125 kSPS when operated with a 2 MHz SCLK across its full 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply range. This rate is achieved with a fixed 16 SCLK-cycle conversion time (14.5 cycles for conversion + 1.5 for acquisition), making timing deterministic and easy to integrate with microcontroller SPI peripherals.
Does the AD7888BRZ include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7888BRZ integrates a 2.5 V ±50 ppm/°C internal reference accessible via the REF IN/REF OUT pin. The reference can be enabled or disabled using the REF bit in the control register. When disabled, the pin presents >1 GΩ input impedance, allowing seamless use of an external reference from 1.2 V to VDD.
What power management modes does the AD7888BRZ support?
The AD7888BRZ supports four power modes controlled by PM1/PM0 bits: Normal Operation (full power), Full Shutdown (<2 µA), Autoshutdown (enters shutdown after each conversion, 5 µs wake-up), and Autostandby (partial shutdown with reference active). These modes allow dynamic adaptation to throughput requirements while minimizing average current.
How many analog input channels does the AD7888BRZ have, and what is their configuration?
The AD7888BRZ features eight single-ended analog input channels (AIN1 through AIN8), selected via ADD2–ADD0 bits in the control register. Each channel accepts signals from 0 V to VREF. Unused channels must be tied to AGND to prevent noise injection and ensure specified channel-to-channel isolation of –80 dB at 25 kHz.
Is the AD7888BRZ pin-compatible with other members of the AD78xx family?
No, the AD7888BRZ is not pin-compatible with earlier AD78xx-series ADCs such as AD782x or AD781x devices. Its 16-lead TSSOP pinout-including dual AGND pins, dedicated REF IN/REF OUT, and specific DIN/DOUT/SCLK/CS placement-is unique to the AD7888 family and optimized for 8-channel multiplexing and low-power serial interface.
