Product details
Overview
AD7893BR-2 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, serial-output analog-to-digital converter with on-chip track/hold amplifier, single +5 V supply operation, 6 µs conversion time, 0 V to +2.5 V unipolar input range, and straight binary output coding-designed for precision data acquisition in space-constrained industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AD7893BR-2 datasheet, AD7893BR-2 pinout, AD7893BR-2 application, or AD7893BR-2 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOIC-8 package details, timing-critical interface guidance, and validated alternative options for embedded measurement systems requiring high DC accuracy and low power.
Technical Context
The AD7893BR-2 implements a successive-approximation ADC core with an R-2R ladder DAC, integrated laser-trimmed internal clock oscillator, and buffered on-chip track/hold amplifier optimized for 12-bit linearity at up to 117 kHz throughput. Its analog front-end accepts 0 V to +2.5 V inputs with ≤500 nA input current and requires an external +2.5 V reference applied to REF IN.
Control is edge-triggered via CONVST (rising edge initiates hold and conversion), while serial data is clocked out on SDATA using SCLK-16-bit frame (4 leading zeros + 12-bit result), MSB-first, valid on SCLK falling edge, with three-state disable after final bit. No BUSY or EOC signal is provided; timing coordination relies on fixed 6 µs conversion + 1.5 µs acquisition windows.

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-2 | Same SO-8 package and specs, but ±1 LSB relative accuracy (vs. ±0.5 LSB for AD7893BR-2) | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial monitoring where 0.012% linearity is not mandatory | Select AD7893AR-2 when ±1 LSB accuracy suffices and lower unit cost is prioritized |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, SPI interface, 2.7–5.25 V supply, no on-chip track/hold, requires external sample clock | Better speed and wider supply range, but adds external track/hold and timing complexity | Choose ADS7822U only if higher throughput (>117 kSPS) justifies added design effort and component count |
Compared with AD7893AR-2, AD7893BR-2 delivers tighter ±0.5 LSB linearity for metrology-grade applications; versus ADS7822U, it integrates track/hold and uses simpler 2-wire timing but trades off maximum sample rate and supply flexibility.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage requirement for AD7893BR-2?
The AD7893BR-2 requires an external +2.5 V reference applied to the REF IN pin, with tolerance of ±5% (2.375 V to 2.625 V). The reference input is buffered on-chip with ≤1 µA input current. Reference accuracy directly impacts full-scale error-using a precision source like the AD780 ensures optimal performance. The AD7893BR-2 does not generate its own reference and cannot operate without this external +2.5 V supply.
Does AD7893BR-2 include an on-chip track/hold amplifier?
Yes, the AD7893BR-2 integrates a precision track/hold amplifier optimized for 12-bit accuracy. It acquires the VIN signal to within ±0.5 LSB in ≤1.5 µs after conversion ends or after a step input change. The track/hold transitions to hold mode on the rising edge of CONVST, and aperture delay is typically 15 ns. This eliminates the need for external track/hold circuitry in most applications using the AD7893BR-2.
What is the output data format of AD7893BR-2?
The AD7893BR-2 outputs 12-bit straight (natural) binary data, prefixed by four leading zeros for a total 16-bit serial frame. Data is MSB-first, clocked out on SDATA synchronized to SCLK rising edges, and valid on falling edges. After the 16th falling edge of SCLK, SDATA enters high-impedance (three-state) mode. This format simplifies firmware parsing compared to two's complement used in bipolar variants like AD7893-10.
Can AD7893BR-2 operate from a supply other than +5 V?
No-the AD7893BR-2 is specified only for +5 V ±5% (4.75 V to 5.25 V) operation. Absolute maximum ratings allow up to +7 V, but performance-including linearity, conversion time, and power dissipation-is guaranteed solely within the +5 V ±5% range. Operating outside this window may cause parametric degradation or functional failure. The AD7893BR-2 does not support 3.3 V or dual-supply configurations.
How is timing coordinated without a BUSY or EOC pin on AD7893BR-2?
The AD7893BR-2 provides no dedicated status pin; timing relies on fixed internal delays. Conversion always completes 6 µs after the rising edge of CONVST. To read data reliably, the serial interface must be activated ≥6 µs post-CONVST and completed ≥600 ns before the next CONVST rising edge. Common methods include software delay, using CONVST's falling edge as an interrupt, or generating a 6 µs-width square wave for CONVST-ensuring deterministic synchronization without polling.
