Product details
Overview
AD7893AN-10 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC with ±10 V bipolar input range, 6 µs conversion time, on-chip track/hold amplifier, and high-speed two-wire serial interface (SCLK/SDATA), operating from a single +5 V supply in an 8-pin plastic DIP package. It delivers 70 dB SNR at 10 kHz input and ±1 LSB relative accuracy for precision data acquisition in industrial control and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AD7893AN-10 datasheet, AD7893AN-10 pinout, AD7893AN-10 application, or AD7893AN-10 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed dynamic and DC specifications, real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all specific to the AD7893AN-10 variant with ±10 V input range and N-8 package.
Technical Context
The AD7893AN-10 implements a laser-trimmed internal clock driving a 12-bit R-2R ladder SAR core, with integrated track/hold that acquires to ±1/2 LSB in ≤1.5 µs. Its analog front-end includes signal scaling resistors (R1=30 kΩ, R2=7.5 kΩ, R3=10 kΩ) enabling ±10 V input while maintaining 16 kΩ minimum input resistance.
It uses twos-complement output coding, delivers 16-bit serial frames (4 leading zeros + 12-bit result), and requires external +2.5 V reference (REF IN) buffered on-chip with ≤2 µA input current. Timing mandates 600 ns quiet period before next CONVST rising edge to meet full-spec performance at 117 kHz throughput.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees no missing codes; defines quantization step of 4.883 mV (±10 V range, 4096 levels) |
| Conversion Time | 6 µs max - sets minimum inter-conversion interval; enables up to 117 kHz sampling when combined with 1.92 µs read and 0.6 µs acquisition |
| Analog Input Range | ±10 V - supports bipolar industrial sensor signals without external level-shifting or gain stages |
| Signal-to-(Noise+Distortion) | 70 dB min at 10 kHz - ensures usable dynamic range for 10-bit effective resolution in AC-coupled measurement systems |
| Relative Accuracy | ±1 LSB max - limits end-point nonlinearity error to ≤±4.883 mV, critical for calibration-sensitive instrumentation |
| Power Dissipation | 25 mW typ / 45 mW max - enables battery-powered portable DAQ designs with minimal thermal impact in 8-pin DIP |
| Reference Input | +2.5 V ±5% - requires precision source (e.g., AD780); reference errors directly scale full-scale and offset errors |
Pinout & Package
AD7893AN-10 is housed in an 8-pin plastic dual-in-line package (N-8), 0.3" wide, with standard DIP pin spacing and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; top view orientation follows industry-standard numbering (1–4 top row left-to-right, 8–5 bottom row right-to-left).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF IN | Voltage reference input | Accepts buffered +2.5 V ±5% reference; input current ≤2 µA; errors here cause proportional gain and offset shifts |
| 2 - VIN | Analog input channel | ±10 V bipolar input with 16 kΩ min resistance; connects to internal resistor network and track/hold amplifier |
| 3 - AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate ground return for track/hold, comparator, and DAC; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling |
| 4 - SCLK | Serial clock input | External clock (≤8.33 MHz) controlling SDATA bit timing; rising edge clocks data out, falling edge validates it |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial data output | Three-state output delivering 16-bit frame (4 zeros + 12-bit twos-complement result); disabled after 16th falling edge |
| 6 - DGND | Digital ground reference | Isolated ground for logic circuitry; must be connected to AGND at single point near device to avoid ground loops |
| 7 - CONVST | Convert start trigger | Falling edge resets serial counter; rising edge initiates track→hold transition and starts 6 µs conversion cycle |
| 8 - VDD | Positive supply | +5 V ±5% power rail; supplies analog and digital sections; typical current draw is 9 mA (25 mW) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply operation | Eliminates need for ±15 V rails common in legacy 12-bit ADCs, reducing BOM count and PCB area in portable systems |
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | Removes requirement for external THA, simplifying layout and ensuring 12-bit accuracy up to 58 kHz input bandwidth |
| High-speed serial interface | Two-wire (SCLK/SDATA) reduces microcontroller GPIO usage and eliminates parallel bus routing complexity |
| LC2MOS process technology | Combines bipolar precision for analog front-end with CMOS low power for digital logic, enabling 25 mW operation |
| Input range selection per variant | AD7893AN-10's fixed ±10 V range targets industrial voltage sensors, avoiding configuration overhead of programmable-input ADCs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit serial ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7893AR-10 | Same architecture and ±10 V range, but in 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package; identical electrical specs except θJA = 170°C/W vs. 130°C/W for N-8 | Preferred for surface-mount production; requires rework for through-hole prototyping or legacy DIP footprints | Select AD7893AR-10 only if board design uses SOIC footprint and thermal management accommodates higher junction rise. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit SAR ADC with SPI interface, ±10 V input via external resistor network, 8 µs conversion time, 3.3 V or 5 V supply, 3.5 mW typical power | Lower power and smaller QFN package, but lacks integrated track/hold and requires external scaling resistors for ±10 V | Choose ADS7822U for ultra-low-power or space-constrained designs where external THA and scaling are acceptable trade-offs. |
Compared with AD7893AR-10, the AD7893AN-10 offers lower thermal resistance for through-hole thermal relief, while ADS7822U trades integrated signal conditioning for reduced power and size - making AD7893AN-10 optimal for ruggedized, medium-throughput industrial DAQ where board space and external component count are secondary to reliability and ease of integration.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum analog input voltage for AD7893AN-10?
The absolute maximum analog input voltage for AD7893AN-10 is ±17 V referenced to AGND, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. However, the device operates within specification only over its rated ±10 V input range. Exceeding ±10 V may cause measurement errors or damage if sustained beyond transient limits defined by the internal protection structure.
Does AD7893AN-10 require an external clock generator?
No, AD7893AN-10 does not require an external clock generator for conversion. It contains a laser-trimmed internal oscillator that drives the 6 µs conversion cycle. Only the serial interface requires an external SCLK signal (up to 8.33 MHz) to shift out the 16-bit result - the core ADC timing is fully self-contained.
What reference voltage sources are recommended for AD7893AN-10?
Analog Devices recommends the AD780 (2.5 V precision bandgap) or AD680 (2.5 V buried-zener) as reference sources for AD7893AN-10. Both provide the required +2.5 V ±5% with low drift and noise; REF IN input current is ≤2 µA, so output impedance must remain low to avoid gain error. The AD7893AN-10's on-chip buffer isolates the reference from dynamic loading.
How is data formatted on the SDATA pin of AD7893AN-10?
AD7893AN-10 outputs 16 bits serially on SDATA: four leading zeros followed by the 12-bit twos-complement conversion result, MSB-first (DB11 to DB0). Data is clocked out on SCLK rising edges and valid on falling edges. After the 16th falling edge, SDATA enters high-impedance (three-state) mode until the next CONVST cycle.
Can AD7893AN-10 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, AD7893AN-10 is specified only for +5 V ±5% (4.75 V to 5.25 V) operation. Its internal LC2MOS process, reference buffer, and logic thresholds are designed for 5 V compliance. Applying 3.3 V will result in undefined behavior, failure to meet timing specs (e.g., SCLK setup/hold), or complete non-operation - no 3.3 V variant exists in the AD7893 family.
