Product details
Overview
AD7893BNZ-5 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, serial-output analog-to-digital converter with 6 µs conversion time, single +5 V supply operation, and 0 V to +5 V unipolar input range. It integrates an on-chip track/hold amplifier, internal clock, and high-speed two-wire serial interface (SCLK/SDATA), and is used in precision data acquisition systems requiring compact, low-power ADCs.
For engineers reviewing the AD7893BNZ-5 datasheet, AD7893BNZ-5 pinout, AD7893BNZ-5 application, or AD7893BNZ-5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its straight-binary output coding, 1.5 µs track/hold acquisition time, ±1 LSB relative accuracy, 70 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and compatibility with microcontroller serial interfaces without external timing components.
Technical Context
The AD7893BNZ-5 implements a successive-approximation ADC core with R-2R ladder architecture and laser-trimmed internal clock oscillator. Its analog front-end includes signal scaling resistors optimized for 0 V to +5 V input range and a buffered reference input accepting +2.5 V ±5%.
Conversion is edge-triggered via CONVST rising edge, initiating hold mode and starting the 6 µs conversion cycle; serial readout requires 16 SCLK pulses delivering four leading zeros followed by 12 MSB-first straight-binary data bits, with SDATA three-stated after the 16th falling SCLK edge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - guarantees no missing codes across full operating range |
| Conversion Time | 6 µs max - enables up to 117 kHz sampling rate with proper timing margins |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to +5 V - unipolar range compatible with standard +2.5 V reference and industrial sensor outputs |
| Output Coding | Straight (natural) binary - simplifies firmware decoding vs. two's complement |
| Signal-to-(Noise+Distortion) | 70 dB min at fIN = 10 kHz - meets precision measurement requirements for DC-coupled instrumentation |
| Relative Accuracy | ±1 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and ≤0.024% full-scale linearity error |
| Power Dissipation | 25 mW typical - supports battery-powered or thermally constrained embedded designs |
Pinout & Package
AD7893BNZ-5 is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (0.3" wide, N-8 package) with through-hole mounting and industry-standard pin spacing. Pin functions are electrically isolated between analog (AGND, REF IN, VIN) and digital (DGND, SCLK, SDATA, CONVST) domains, requiring separate ground routing for optimal noise immunity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF IN | Reference Voltage Input | Accepts buffered +2.5 V ±5% reference; input current ≤2 µA ensures minimal loading on precision references like AD780 |
| 2 - VIN | Analog Input Channel | 0 V to +5 V unipolar input with 9 kΩ minimum input resistance; benign input stage eliminates dynamic charging currents |
| 3 - AGND | Analog Ground Reference | Return path for track/hold, comparator, and DAC; must be routed separately from DGND to avoid digital noise coupling |
| 4 - SCLK | Serial Clock Input | External clock up to 8.33 MHz; rising edge clocks out data, falling edge validates data; requires low-to-high transition timing per t2/t3 |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial Data Output | Three-state CMOS output delivering 16-bit frame (4 zeros + 12-bit straight-binary); disabled after 16th falling SCLK edge |
| 6 - DGND | Digital Ground Reference | Return path for logic circuitry; must connect to system digital ground plane with low-inductance path |
| 7 - CONVST | Convert Start Input | Falling edge resets serial counter; rising edge initiates track-to-hold transition and starts 6 µs conversion cycle |
| 8 - VDD | Positive Supply | +5 V ±5% supply; powers both analog and digital sections; IDD ≤9 mA ensures stable operation under full load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | Acquires input to 12-bit accuracy in ≤1.5 µs, enabling accurate digitization of fast-changing signals without external components |
| Internal clock generator | Laser-trimmed oscillator eliminates need for external crystal or clock source, reducing BOM count and layout complexity |
| Two-wire serial interface | Requires only SCLK and SDATA lines - directly interfaces with SPI peripherals and shift registers without glue logic |
| LC2MOS process technology | Combines precision bipolar analog circuits with low-power CMOS logic, achieving 25 mW typical power at full performance |
| Input voltage range selection | Dedicated resistor network for 0 V to +5 V range ensures optimal gain and offset matching without external scaling |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7893BR-5 | Same electrical specs and pinout; SOIC-8 package instead of PDIP; θJA = 170°C/W vs. 130°C/W | Surface-mount assembly required; better thermal performance in forced-air environments | Select for automated PCB assembly and space-constrained layouts where reflow compatibility is mandatory |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, SPI-compatible, but requires external reference and separate power supplies for analog/digital sections | No integrated track/hold; higher power (3.3 mW @ 50 kSPS); different serial framing (no leading zeros) | Choose when higher speed or lower power at reduced sample rates is prioritized over integration and simplicity |
Compared with AD7893BR-5, AD7893BNZ-5 offers identical analog performance in a through-hole package ideal for prototyping and legacy systems; versus ADS7822U, it delivers superior system-level integration with on-chip track/hold, internal clock, and unified +5 V supply - reducing component count and layout risk.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage requirement for AD7893BNZ-5?
The AD7893BNZ-5 requires a +2.5 V ±5% external reference applied to the REF IN pin. The reference input is buffered on-chip with ≤2 µA input current, making it compatible with precision references such as the AD780. Reference accuracy directly impacts full-scale error, so a low-drift, low-noise source is recommended for metrology-grade applications using the AD7893BNZ-5.
Does AD7893BNZ-5 support bipolar input ranges?
No, AD7893BNZ-5 is configured exclusively for unipolar 0 V to +5 V analog input. It uses straight-binary output coding and internal resistor scaling optimized for this range. For bipolar operation, select AD7893-10 (±10 V) or AD7893-3 (±2.5 V), which use two's complement coding and different input networks - the AD7893BNZ-5 pinout and transfer function are not compatible with bipolar inputs.
How is data read from AD7893BNZ-5?
Data is read via a 16-clock serial sequence on the SCLK and SDATA pins: four leading zeros followed by 12 MSB-first straight-binary bits representing the conversion result. The SDATA line is three-stated after the 16th falling SCLK edge. Reading must avoid the 6 µs conversion window and the 600 ns prior to the next CONVST rising edge to meet AD7893BNZ-5 AC specifications.
What is the track/hold acquisition time for AD7893BNZ-5?
The AD7893BNZ-5 has a track/hold acquisition time of ≤1.5 µs - the time required for the amplifier output to settle within ±1/2 LSB after returning to track mode at the end of conversion or after a step change at VIN. This parameter defines the minimum interval before initiating the next conversion to maintain specified linearity and SNR performance in the AD7893BNZ-5.
Can AD7893BNZ-5 operate from supplies other than +5 V?
No, AD7893BNZ-5 is specified only for +5 V ±5% operation (4.75 V to 5.25 V). Absolute maximum ratings allow VDD up to +7 V, but electrical performance - including conversion time, SNR, and linearity - is guaranteed solely within the +5 V ±5% range. Operating outside this window may cause undefined behavior or permanent damage, and is not supported for AD7893BNZ-5.
