Product details
Overview
AD7892BNZ-2 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, single-supply successive approximation ADC with 500 kSPS throughput, ±1 LSB relative accuracy, and dual serial/parallel interface support. It accepts a unipolar 0 V to +2.5 V analog input on VIN1 (with VIN2 grounded), operates from +5 V ±5%, and consumes 60 mW typical-enabling precision data acquisition in portable instrumentation and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AD7892BNZ-2 datasheet, AD7892BNZ-2 pinout, AD7892BNZ-2 application, or AD7892BNZ-2 equivalent, key selection considerations include its unipolar input range, 500 kSPS conversion rate, standby current of 250 µA typ, 12-bit two's complement output coding (AD7892-2 uses straight binary), and compatibility with microcontrollers via 3-wire serial (RFS/SCLK/SDATA) or 12-bit parallel bus.
Technical Context
The AD7892BNZ-2 implements a 1.6 µs conversion time with 400 ns track/hold acquisition, enabling reliable 500 kSPS operation while maintaining ±1 LSB relative accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. Its LC2MOS process integrates a precision bipolar ADC core with low-power CMOS logic, supporting both serial and parallel readout without external timing components.
Interface mode is selected by the MODE pin: high for 12-bit parallel (DB0–DB11), low for 3-wire serial (RFS/SCLK/SDATA). The REF OUT/REF IN pin supports either the internal +2.5 V reference (±10 mV @ +25°C, 25 ppm/°C TC) or an external reference, with buffered input impedance of 1.6 kΩ min and 10 pF max capacitance.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - guarantees no missing codes across full operating range |
| Throughput Rate | 500 kSPS - maximum sustained sampling rate with full DC and dynamic specs met |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to +2.5 V on VIN1 - unipolar range optimized for sensor outputs and DAC feedback loops |
| Relative Accuracy | ±1 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and ≤0.024% full-scale linearity error |
| Power Consumption | 60 mW typical at +5 V - enables battery-powered designs with thermal budget <100 mW |

Pinout & Package
AD7892BNZ-2 is housed in a 24-lead, 0.3" wide plastic DIP (N-24 package), with through-hole mounting and industry-standard footprint compatible with socketed prototyping and legacy PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Positive supply | +5 V ±5% input; powers analog and digital sections; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass to AGND |
| STANDBY (Pin 2) | Power mode control | Logic high = active; logic low = standby (250 µA typ); must wait ≥30 µs before CONVST after exit |
| VIN2 (Pin 3) | Analog reference node | Must be connected to AGND for AD7892BNZ-2; floating or other potentials cause undefined behavior |
| VIN1 (Pin 4) | Main analog input | Accepts 0 V to +2.5 V unipolar signal; input resistance 8 kΩ min; overvoltage protected to –0.3 V / VDD |
| REF OUT/REF IN (Pin 5) | Reference interface | Provides +2.5 V internal reference or accepts external 2.375–2.625 V source; 5.5 kΩ output impedance when sourcing |
| AGND (Pin 6) | Analog ground | Separate ground return for track/hold, comparator, and DAC; must be star-connected to DGND at single point |
| MODE (Pin 7) | Interface selection | Logic high = parallel mode (DB0–DB11 active); logic low = serial mode (RFS/SCLK/SDATA active) |
| DB0–DB11 (Pins 8–20) | Data outputs | Three-state TTL-compatible; DB0 = LSB, DB11 = MSB in parallel mode; all high-Z in serial mode except DB5/SDATA, DB4/SCLK, DB3/RFS |
| DGND (Pin 14) | Digital ground | Ground reference for MODE, STANDBY, CS, RD, CONVST, EOC; isolated from AGND except at system common point |
| RD (Pin 21) | Read strobe | Active-low; latches valid conversion data onto DB0–DB11 when CS is low; t6 = 35 ns max access time |
| CS (Pin 22) | Chip select | Active-low; enables output drivers with RD; t4 = 0 ns setup required, t8 = 0 ns hold required |
| EOC (Pin 23) | Conversion status | Active-low pulse (~100 ns width) signals end-of-conversion; used for interrupt-driven readout |
| CONVST (Pin 24) | Conversion trigger | Rising-edge initiates track→hold transition and starts conversion; aperture delay ~15 ns |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single +5 V supply operation | Eliminates need for dual-rail supplies or charge pumps in portable and embedded systems |
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | Acquires 0 V to +2.5 V inputs to 12-bit accuracy in ≤400 ns, enabling anti-aliasing without external circuitry |
| Dual serial/parallel interface | Reduces BOM count: 3-wire serial connects directly to MCU UART/SPI peripherals; 12-bit parallel suits FPGA or fast μP buses |
| Internal +2.5 V reference | Stable reference with ±20 mV max error over temperature-sufficient for 12-bit accuracy without external voltage reference IC |
| Low-power standby mode | 250 µA typical current draw extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like environmental monitors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, unipolar-input ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7892BR-2 | Same specs but in SOIC-24 package; 75°C/W θJA vs. 105°C/W for DIP; no lead-free exemption noted | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs requiring surface-mount assembly and higher thermal efficiency | Select AD7892BR-2 when automated SMT production and lower thermal resistance are priorities over through-hole serviceability. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, SPI-only interface, 2.7–5.25 V supply, 1.25 mW active power; no internal reference | Suited for ultra-low-power, SPI-native systems where 500 kSPS is not required and external reference is acceptable | Choose ADS7822U only if system already uses SPI infrastructure and can accommodate external 2.5 V reference and slower sampling. |
Compared with AD7892BNZ-2, AD7892BR-2 offers identical electrical performance in a smaller SOIC package with better thermal dissipation, while ADS7822U trades speed and interface flexibility for lower power and simpler SPI integration-but requires external reference and delivers only 40% of the throughput.

FAQ
What input voltage range does the AD7892BNZ-2 support?
The AD7892BNZ-2 supports a unipolar analog input range of 0 V to +2.5 V on VIN1, with VIN2 tied to AGND. This is specific to the "-2" variant; other variants support ±10 V, ±5 V, or ±2.5 V ranges. Exceeding +2.5 V or going below 0 V on VIN1 may damage the part or produce invalid conversions.
Does the AD7892BNZ-2 require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7892BNZ-2 includes an internal +2.5 V reference accessible at the REF OUT/REF IN pin. For standard operation, connect a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor from this pin to AGND. An external reference may be used if tighter tolerance or system-level reference synchronization is needed, but it is not required for basic functionality of the AD7892BNZ-2.
How do I configure the AD7892BNZ-2 for serial versus parallel interface mode?
Interface mode is controlled by the MODE pin: tie MODE to VDD (logic high) for 12-bit parallel operation (DB0–DB11 active), or tie MODE to AGND (logic low) for 3-wire serial operation (RFS, SCLK, SDATA active). Pins DB8–DB11 and DB0–DB7 become high-impedance in serial mode; only DB3/RFS, DB4/SCLK, and DB5/SDATA retain function.
What is the power consumption of the AD7892BNZ-2 in standby mode?
The AD7892BNZ-2 draws 250 µA typical (1.25 mW at +5 V) in standby mode when the STANDBY pin is driven low. This is significantly lower than its 18 mA normal operating current (60 mW typical). Note that a conversion must not be initiated within 30 µs after exiting standby mode to ensure proper internal settling.
Is the AD7892BNZ-2 pin-compatible with other AD7892 variants like AD7892BNZ-1 or AD7892BNZ-3?
Yes, all AD7892 variants-including AD7892BNZ-1, AD7892BNZ-2, and AD7892BNZ-3-are pin-compatible in the same N-24 DIP package. However, their input ranges, conversion rates, and output coding differ: AD7892BNZ-2 uses straight binary coding and 0 V to +2.5 V input, while AD7892BNZ-1/-3 use two's complement and bipolar ranges. Swapping variants requires firmware and signal conditioning review.
