Product details
Overview
AD7892BN-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, ±1 LSB relative accuracy, and integrated track/hold amplifier - used in precision data acquisition systems for industrial sensor interfacing and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7892BN-2 datasheet, AD7892BN-2 pinout, AD7892BN-2 application, or AD7892BN-2 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, interface timing constraints, unipolar offset error (±4 LSB max), standby current (250 µA typ), and SOIC/DIP package compatibility - critical for low-power embedded analog front-end design.
Technical Context
The AD7892BN-2 implements a 1.6 µs conversion time with 400 ns track/hold acquisition, enabling precise sampling of DC-coupled sensor signals up to 200 kHz bandwidth. Its on-chip +2.5 V reference (±10 mV @ 25°C) supports direct use without external components when decoupled with 0.1 µF to AGND.
It features dual-mode interface control via MODE pin: parallel 12-bit output (DB0–DB11) with CS/RD/EOC handshaking, or three-wire serial (RFS/SCLK/SDATA) supporting straight binary coding - both compliant with TTL logic levels and 5 V supply operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees no missing codes over full operating temperature range. |
| Sampling Rate | 500 kSPS - defines maximum sustained conversion rate for continuous acquisition. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to +2.5 V on VIN1 (with VIN2 grounded) - enables direct connection to rail-to-rail output sensors or DACs. |
| Relative Accuracy | ±1 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and ≤0.024% full-scale linearity error in closed-loop calibration. |
| Unipolar Offset Error | ±4 LSB max - specifies worst-case deviation at first code transition (00...000 → 00...001). |
| Power Consumption | 60 mW typical at 5 V - supports battery-powered portable instruments with <2 ms wake-up latency from standby. |
| Standby Current | 250 µA typical - reduces system power by >99% during idle periods without losing configuration state. |
Pinout & Package
AD7892BN-2 is available in 24-lead plastic DIP (N-24) and SOIC (R-24) packages. Pin functions are identical across variants; DIP uses through-hole mounting while SOIC supports surface-mount assembly with 0.3" body width and standard 0.025" pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1 | Analog Input 1 | Primary unipolar input node accepting 0 V to +2.5 V signals referenced to VIN2 (AGND); high-impedance FET input (10 nA max bias). |
| VIN2 | Analog Input 2 | Ground reference for VIN1 in AD7892BN-2 mode; must be tied to AGND - not connected to external voltage sources. |
| REF OUT/REF IN | Reference I/O | Provides internal +2.5 V reference (±10 mV @ 25°C) or accepts external 2.375–2.625 V source; requires 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling to AGND. |
| MODE | Interface Select | Logic high enables parallel DB0–DB11 output; logic low configures RFS/SCLK/SDATA serial interface. |
| CONVST | Convert Start | Rising-edge-triggered command initiating track→hold transition and ADC conversion sequence. |
| EOC | End-of-Conversion | Active-low pulse (100 ns nominal width) signaling valid data ready in output register. |
| CS / RD | Chip Select / Read | Active-low enable pair controlling three-state output drivers; RD falling edge latches parallel data onto bus. |
| STANDBY | Power-Down Control | Logic low places device in low-current standby (250 µA typ); conversion must not start within 30 µs of exit. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single +5 V Supply Operation | Eliminates need for dual ±15 V rails or charge pumps - simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count in portable systems. |
| Integrated Track/Hold Amplifier | Acquires 0–2.5 V step inputs to 12-bit accuracy in ≤400 ns - enables accurate sampling of fast transients without external circuitry. |
| Flexible Dual Interface | Parallel (12-bit) and serial (3-wire) modes selectable via MODE pin - supports both microcontroller GPIO-limited designs and high-speed DSP interfaces. |
| On-Chip +2.5 V Reference | ±10 mV initial error and 25 ppm/°C drift - provides stable scaling for unipolar measurements without external reference ICs or trimming. |
| Low Standby Power | 250 µA typical current draw - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications such as environmental monitoring nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit unipolar ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7892BR-2 | Same specs but in 24-lead SOIC (R-24) package - 75°C/W θJA vs. 105°C/W for N-24 DIP. | Better thermal performance in dense layouts; requires rework for through-hole prototyping. | Select BR-2 for volume SMT production where thermal margin and board space are constrained. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, SPI-only interface, 2.7–5.25 V supply - no parallel mode or internal reference. | Lacks MODE-selectable interface and on-chip 2.5 V reference; requires external REF and level-shifting for 5 V systems. | Choose ADS7822U only if serial-only interface suffices and system already provides precision 2.5 V reference. |
Compared with AD7892BR-2, AD7892BN-2 offers identical electrical performance in a through-hole DIP package ideal for lab validation and low-volume assembly; versus ADS7822U, it delivers higher throughput, dual-interface flexibility, and self-contained reference - reducing design complexity in 5 V industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the input voltage range supported by the AD7892BN-2?
The AD7892BN-2 supports a unipolar analog input range of 0 V to +2.5 V on VIN1, with VIN2 tied to AGND. This is fixed for the -2 variant and differs from the ±5 V or ±10 V ranges of AD7892BN-1 or the ±2.5 V range of AD7892BN-3. The input resistance is 8 kΩ minimum, and input current is limited to ±10 nA maximum.
Does the AD7892BN-2 require an external reference voltage?
No - the AD7892BN-2 includes an internal +2.5 V reference accessible at the REF OUT/REF IN pin. When used internally, it requires only a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor from that pin to AGND. External references (2.375–2.625 V) may be applied to override the internal source, but are not required for basic operation of the AD7892BN-2.
How does the MODE pin affect interface behavior in the AD7892BN-2?
The MODE pin selects between parallel and serial operation: logic high enables 12-bit parallel output on DB0–DB11 with CS/RD/EOC handshaking; logic low configures RFS/SCLK/SDATA three-wire serial interface. The AD7892BN-2 outputs straight binary coding in both modes, unlike the two's complement format used by AD7892BN-1 and AD7892BN-3.
What is the guaranteed accuracy specification for the AD7892BN-2?
The AD7892BN-2 guarantees ±1 LSB relative accuracy (endpoint nonlinearity) and ±4 LSB unipolar offset error over its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). These values are specified in the B-grade ordering option and confirmed in the AD7892BN-2 datasheet revision C, Table "DC ACCURACY".
Can the AD7892BN-2 operate from a supply voltage other than +5 V?
No - the AD7892BN-2 is specified for operation only at +5 V ±5%. Absolute maximum ratings limit VDD to –0.3 V to +7 V, but electrical performance (conversion time, accuracy, power) is guaranteed solely at +5 V nominal. Deviations outside ±5% invalidate all published specifications for the AD7892BN-2.
