Product details
Overview
AD7892AR-2 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, single-supply successive approximation ADC with 500 kSPS throughput, 0 V to +2.5 V unipolar input range, on-chip track/hold amplifier, and dual serial/parallel interface. It operates from +5 V ±5%, consumes 60 mW typical, and targets precision data acquisition in portable instrumentation and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7892AR-2 datasheet, AD7892AR-2 pinout, AD7892AR-2 application, or AD7892AR-2 equivalent, key selection criteria include unipolar input range compatibility, 12-bit relative accuracy (±1.5 LSB max), standby current (250 µA typ), SOIC-24 package constraints, and interface mode selection via MODE pin.
Technical Context
The AD7892AR-2 implements a 1.6 µs conversion time with 400 ns track/hold acquisition time, enabling 500 kSPS sustained sampling. Its LC2MOS process integrates bipolar precision circuitry with CMOS logic for low power and high DC accuracy.
It features a single +2.5 V reference pin (REF OUT/REF IN) supporting internal reference use (±10 mV error at +25°C) or external overdrive, and supports straight binary output coding optimized for unipolar signal chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees no missing codes across full operating temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 500 kSPS - maximum sustained throughput with 1.6 µs conversion + 400 ns acquisition timing. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to +2.5 V on VIN1 (with VIN2 grounded) - unipolar range requiring no level-shifting for sensor outputs referenced to ground. |
| DC Accuracy | ±1.5 LSB relative accuracy max - ensures monotonicity and <0.037% full-scale linearity error in closed-loop control feedback paths. |
| Power Consumption | 60 mW typical at +5 V - enables battery-powered operation with 12-bit resolution without thermal derating in SOIC-24 package. |
| Standby Current | 250 µA typical - reduces system idle power by >99% vs active mode, critical for duty-cycled sensor nodes. |
| Reference Output | +2.5 V ±10 mV at +25°C - stable internal reference eliminates need for external voltage reference in cost-sensitive designs. |
Pinout & Package
AD7892AR-2 is housed in a 24-lead SOIC (R-24) package with standard 0.3" width and 0.050" lead pitch. Thermal impedance is 75°C/W (θJA), supporting operation up to +85°C ambient without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1 | Analog input (unipolar) | Main signal input accepting 0 V to +2.5 V range; must be driven within 50 mV of AGND on VIN2 for specified accuracy. |
| REF OUT/REF IN | Reference I/O | Provides +2.5 V internal reference (decoupled to AGND) or accepts external +2.5 V source; buffers reference for ADC core and attenuator. |
| MODE | Interface select | Logic high = parallel mode (DB0–DB11 active); logic low = serial mode (RFS/SCLK/SDATA active). |
| CONVST | Conversion trigger | Rising-edge sensitive start signal; initiates track-to-hold transition and begins 1.6 µs conversion sequence. |
| EOC | End-of-conversion flag | Active-low pulse (~100 ns wide) signaling valid data ready; used to synchronize RD/CS strobes or generate microcontroller interrupts. |
| RD & CS | Parallel read control | Both low enable three-state DB0–DB11 outputs; timing requires tRD setup before next CONVST edge (200 ns min). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unipolar 0 V to +2.5 V input range | Eliminates need for external level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with ground-referenced sensors (e.g., RTDs, strain gauges, DAC outputs). |
| Single +5 V supply operation | Removes requirement for dual-rail or negative supplies, simplifying power architecture in embedded controllers and portable test equipment. |
| Dual serial/parallel interface | Reduces BOM count: parallel mode connects directly to 8/16-bit microcontrollers; serial mode uses only RFS/SCLK/SDATA for minimal pin-count MCU integration. |
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | Acquires full-scale 12-bit data within 400 ns, enabling accurate digitization of signals up to ~125 kHz bandwidth without external sample-hold. |
| Internal +2.5 V reference | Provides stable reference with ±25 mV max error over –40°C to +85°C, removing dependency on external precision references in non-critical applications. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7892BN-2 | Same SOIC-24 package and 0 V to +2.5 V input range, but specified for ±1 LSB relative accuracy (vs ±1.5 LSB for AD7892AR-2). | Required where tighter linearity is needed for closed-loop servo control or calibration-critical metrology. | Select AD7892BN-2 if absolute linearity error must be ≤±1 LSB; otherwise AD7892AR-2 offers cost advantage with identical timing and interface. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, SPI-only interface, 2.7–5.25 V supply, 0–VREF input range (VREF = 2.5 V max), 1.25 mW typical power. | Better suited for ultra-low-power, space-constrained designs where serial interface suffices and lower throughput is acceptable. | Choose ADS7822U for battery life optimization below 200 kSPS; AD7892AR-2 remains preferred for 500 kSPS or parallel bus integration. |
Compared with AD7892BN-2, AD7892AR-2 trades ±1 LSB linearity for lower cost while retaining identical timing, packaging, and interface flexibility; versus ADS7822U, it delivers 2.5× higher throughput and dual-interface capability at higher quiescent power.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the AD7892AR-2 support?
The AD7892AR-2 supports a unipolar analog input range of 0 V to +2.5 V on VIN1, with VIN2 grounded. This range is fixed for the -2 variant and differs from the ±10 V (AD7892-1) or ±2.5 V (AD7892-3) options. Input overvoltage protection is not provided for the AD7892AR-2-exceeding 0 V to +2.5 V may damage the device.
Does the AD7892AR-2 require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7892AR-2 includes an internal +2.5 V reference accessible at the REF OUT/REF IN pin. When using this internal reference, a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between REF OUT/REF IN and AGND. An external +2.5 V reference can be applied to the same pin to override the internal source, but is not required for basic operation of the AD7892AR-2.
How is the interface mode selected on the AD7892AR-2?
The interface mode of the AD7892AR-2 is controlled by the MODE pin: logic high selects parallel mode (enabling DB0–DB11 outputs), and logic low selects serial mode (activating RFS, SCLK, and SDATA functions). This configuration is latched at power-up and remains static during operation-no runtime reconfiguration is supported in the AD7892AR-2.
What is the power consumption of the AD7892AR-2 in standby mode?
In standby mode, the AD7892AR-2 draws 250 µA typical (100 µA max) from the +5 V supply, reducing power dissipation to approximately 1.25 mW. This low-current state is entered by driving the STANDBY pin low and is designed for rapid wake-up-conversion must not be initiated within 30 µs of exiting standby to ensure specification compliance.
Which package type is used for the AD7892AR-2?
The AD7892AR-2 is supplied in a 24-lead small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package designated R-24, with standard 0.3" body width and 0.050" lead pitch. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and provides θJA = 75°C/W thermal performance, rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C.
