Product details
Overview
AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 14-bit, 5 µs successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated track/hold amplifier, on-chip clock, and high-speed two-wire serial interface. It operates from a single +5 V supply, accepts ±10 V analog input range, delivers 77 dB SNR at 160 kHz sampling, and consumes 20 mW typical power. It is used in precision data acquisition systems requiring fast, low-power digitization of bipolar industrial sensor signals.
For engineers reviewing the AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 datasheet, AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 pinout, AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 application, or AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its ±10 V input range, twos-complement output coding, 5 µs conversion time in high-sampling mode, SO-8 package compatibility, and requirement for external +2.5 V reference (e.g., AD780).
Technical Context
The AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 implements a laser-trimmed internal clock driving a 14-bit R-2R ladder SAR core, with on-chip track/hold enabling full-scale sine wave conversion at 100 kHz+ input bandwidth. Its analog front-end uses resistor scaling (R1=8 kΩ, R2=2 kΩ, R3=2 kΩ) to support ±10 V input while maintaining high input impedance and <2 mA max input current.
Control logic supports two distinct operating modes: Mode 1 (5 µs conversion, continuous operation) and Mode 2 (10 µs effective cycle including 5 µs wake-up, auto-power-down). Serial data output is 16-bit (two leading zeros + 14-bit twos-complement result), synchronized to falling edge of SCLK, with guaranteed 10 ns data hold time and 60 ns access time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14 bits - guarantees no missing codes; defines quantization step of 1.22 mV for ±10 V range |
| Conversion Time | 5 µs max (Mode 1) - enables up to 160 kHz sustained sampling rate with 250 ns quiet time |
| Analog Input Range | ±10 V - supports direct connection to industrial ±10 V sensors without external scaling |
| SNR | 77 dB min (fIN = 70 kHz) - ensures >12.5 ENOB for high-fidelity signal capture |
| Power Dissipation | 20 mW typical - enables battery-powered portable instrumentation with minimal thermal load |
| Reference Input | +2.5 V ±5% - requires stable external reference (e.g., AD780); gain error directly tracks reference accuracy |
| Differential Nonlinearity | –1 to +1.5 LSB max - maintains monotonicity across full transfer function |
Pinout & Package
AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC (SO-8) package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint (5.3 mm × 4.4 mm, 1.27 mm pitch). Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; device orientation follows top-view pin numbering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF IN | Voltage reference input | Buffered on-chip input for +2.5 V external reference; 1 µA max input current; 10 pF max capacitance |
| 2 - VIN | Analog input channel | Accepts ±10 V differential input; high-impedance node after internal resistor network; 2 mA max input current |
| 3 - GND | Analog ground reference | Common return for track/hold, comparator, DAC, and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance star point |
| 4 - SCLK | Serial clock input | External clock up to 16 MHz; falling edge clocks out SDATA; min pulse width 31.25 ns |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial data output | Three-state output; 16-bit frame (2 leading zeros + 14-bit twos-complement); valid 10 ns after SCLK falling edge |
| 6 - BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output; goes high on CONVST falling edge, low when conversion complete (5 µs later) |
| 7 - CONVST | Conversion start trigger | Edge-sensitive input; falling edge initiates track→hold transition and conversion; low at end enables auto-power-down |
| 8 - VDD | Positive supply | +5 V ±5% supply; 5.5 mA max IDD; powers all analog and digital sections |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply 14-bit ADC in SO-8 | Integrates SAR core, track/hold, clock, and serial interface in space-constrained 8-pin layout-eliminates need for discrete support ICs |
| High-speed serial interface | Two-wire (SCLK/SDATA) protocol with 16 MHz max clock enables microcontroller interfacing with minimal GPIO usage and PCB routing |
| Auto-power-down mode | Reduces IDD to 20 µA max between conversions-cuts average power >99% in low-duty-cycle applications like periodic sensor polling |
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | Acquires input to 14-bit accuracy in ≤0.35 µs-enables accurate digitization of fast-changing ±10 V signals without external THA |
| Bipolar input scaling | Internal resistor network (8k/2k/2k Ω) translates ±10 V input to internal 0–5 V range-preserves SNR while avoiding external op-amp level-shifting |
Applications
| Industrial Process Monitoring | Test & Measurement Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7894BRZ-10 | Same SO-8 package and pinout; ±1.5 LSB INL (vs. ±2 LSB for ARZ grade); identical timing, power, and interface | Higher DC accuracy required for metrology-grade calibration systems where <±1.5 LSB linearity is mandatory | Select BRZ-10 when absolute linearity error must be minimized; ARZ-10 remains optimal for cost-sensitive industrial DAQ where ±2 LSB meets spec |
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit, 100 kSPS, SPI interface, ±10 V input via external PGA; requires external reference and level-shifting; larger TSSOP-20 package | Applications needing higher resolution (>14-bit) but tolerating lower speed and larger board area | Choose ADS8325IPW only if 16-bit ENOB is essential; AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 offers superior speed/power density and simpler system integration |
Compared with AD7894BRZ-10, the AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 trades 0.5 LSB INL for lower cost and broader availability; versus ADS8325IPW, it delivers 60% faster throughput in half the package area with no external support components-making it optimal for space- and power-constrained 14-bit DAQ.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate achievable with AD7894ARZ-10REEL7?
The AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 achieves a maximum sustained sampling rate of 160 kHz in Mode 1 (high-sampling mode), calculated from 5 µs conversion time + 1.0 µs serial read time (at 16 MHz SCLK) + 250 ns minimum quiet time. This rate assumes strict adherence to timing constraints in Figure 3 of the datasheet and proper track/hold settling between conversions. The AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 cannot exceed this rate without violating specification limits on SNR and linearity.
Does AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 require an external voltage reference?
Yes, the AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 requires an external +2.5 V reference applied to the REF IN pin. The device does not contain an internal reference; its full-scale accuracy and gain stability directly depend on reference voltage precision and noise performance. Recommended references include the AD780 (2.5 V, 100 ppm/°C drift) or AD680 (2.5 V, 20 ppm/°C drift), both specified for low-output-impedance, low-noise operation compatible with the AD7894ARZ-10REEL7's 1 µA max REF IN current.
What is the difference between AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 and AD7894BRZ-10?
The AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 and AD7894BRZ-10 share identical pinout, package (SO-8), timing, power, and interface specifications. Their primary difference is DC accuracy: the BRZ-10 grade guarantees ±1.5 LSB integral nonlinearity (INL), while the ARZ-10REEL7 grade guarantees ±2 LSB INL. Both operate over –40°C to +85°C and accept ±10 V input. The AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 is optimized for cost-sensitive industrial applications where ±2 LSB meets system-level accuracy requirements.
Can AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 interface directly with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes, the AD7894ARZ-10REEL7's digital I/O (SCLK, SDATA, BUSY, CONVST) is compatible with 3.3 V logic levels when VDD = +5 V. Input high voltage (VINH) is specified at 2.4 V min, and output high voltage (VOH) is 4.0 V min into 400 µA load-ensuring reliable recognition by 3.3 V receivers. However, SDATA is three-stated when inactive, so a pull-up resistor to 3.3 V may be needed if the host MCU lacks internal weak pull-ups. No level-shifting circuitry is required for basic operation.
What are the power-saving features of AD7894ARZ-10REEL7?
The AD7894ARZ-10REEL7 incorporates an automatic power-down mode (Mode 2) that reduces supply current to 20 µA max between conversions when CONVST is held low after conversion completion. Upon rising edge of CONVST, the part "wakes up" in ~5 µs before initiating the next conversion. This feature cuts average power consumption by >99% in low-duty-cycle applications such as periodic sensor polling, extending battery life in portable instruments without sacrificing 14-bit resolution or 5 µs conversion capability.
