Product details
Overview
AD7894ARZ-2REEL from Analog Devices is a 14-bit, single-supply successive-approximation ADC with 5 µs conversion time in Mode 1, ±2.5 V input range (AD7894-3 variant), on-chip track/hold amplifier, and high-speed two-wire serial interface. It operates from +5 V ±5%, consumes 20 mW typical, and targets precision data acquisition in industrial instrumentation and portable test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AD7894ARZ-2REEL datasheet, AD7894ARZ-2REEL pinout, AD7894ARZ-2REEL application, or AD7894ARZ-2REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include its SO-8 package, 160 kHz maximum throughput, ±1.5 LSB relative accuracy (B-grade), 77 dB SNR at 70 kHz, and automatic power-down mode for low-power operation.
Technical Context
The AD7894ARZ-2REEL implements a laser-trimmed internal clock driving a 14-bit R-2R ladder SAR core, with integrated track/hold amplifier featuring 7.5 MHz small-signal bandwidth and 50 ps aperture jitter. Its analog input stage uses external resistor scaling for ±2.5 V full-scale range and buffers the reference input to limit current to ≤1 µA.
It supports two operating modes: Mode 1 delivers 5 µs conversion with continuous operation, while Mode 2 enables automatic wake-up from power-down (20 µA standby) triggered by CONVST rising edge, adding up to 5 µs wake-up latency before conversion start. Serial data output is twos-complement coded, synchronized to SCLK falling edge, with 16-bit frame (2 leading zeros + 14 data bits).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - guarantees no missing codes over full transfer function |
| Conversion Time | 5 µs max (Mode 1) - enables 160 kHz sustained sampling rate with 250 ns quiet time |
| Analog Input Range | ±2.5 V - matches standard industrial bipolar sensor outputs without external scaling |
| Relative Accuracy | ±1.5 LSB max (B-grade) - ensures monotonicity and <0.01% endpoint nonlinearity error |
| Signal-to-Noise+Distortion | 77 dB min (fIN = 70 kHz) - supports >12.5 ENOB for medium-frequency signal capture |
| Power Dissipation | 20 mW typical - enables battery-powered portable instrumentation with minimal thermal load |
| Reference Input | +2.5 V ±5% - requires precision external reference (e.g., AD780); gain errors scale directly with REF IN tolerance |
Pinout & Package
AD7894ARZ-2REEL is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC (SO-8) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012 compliant, and rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF IN (Pin 1) | Voltage reference input | Accepts buffered +2.5 V ±5% reference; 1 µA max input current; sets full-scale range and gain accuracy |
| VIN (Pin 2) | Analog input channel | ±2.5 V differential input range; high-impedance node after internal scaling resistors; no dynamic charging current |
| GND (Pin 3) | Analog ground reference | Common return for track/hold, comparator, DAC, and digital logic; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling |
| SCLK (Pin 4) | Serial clock input | External clock up to 16 MHz; falling edge clocks out SDATA; timing-critical for data access (t4 ≤ 60 ns) |
| SDATA (Pin 5) | Serial data output | Two's complement 14-bit result prefixed with two leading zeros; three-stated after 16th SCLK edge |
| BUSY (Pin 6) | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output; asserts on CONVST falling edge, deasserts 5 µs later when data is valid |
| CONVST (Pin 7) | Conversion start trigger | Edge-sensitive input; falling edge initiates hold/conversion; low level at completion enables auto-power-down |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Positive supply | +5 V ±5%; powers analog and digital sections; 5.5 mA max IDD; decoupling required within 1 cm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | Acquires to 14-bit accuracy in ≤0.35 µs; 7.5 MHz bandwidth supports >100 kHz input signals without aliasing |
| Auto power-down mode | Reduces IDD to 20 µA between conversions; eliminates need for external sleep control logic in intermittent sampling |
| High-speed serial interface | Two-wire (SCLK/SDATA) with 16 MHz max clock; eliminates parallel bus routing and reduces PCB footprint vs. 14-bit parallel ADCs |
| Single +5 V supply operation | Eliminates dual-rail supplies and associated regulators; simplifies power architecture in space-constrained systems |
| Pin-compatible upgrade path | Direct replacement for 12-bit AD7895; preserves layout while increasing resolution and dynamic range |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7940BRMZ | 14-bit, 1 MSPS, SPI-compatible, 2.5 V ref internal/external, no track/hold, 3.3 V supply only | Higher speed but lacks integrated track/hold; requires external op-amp buffer for wideband signals | Select for higher throughput where external signal conditioning is acceptable and 3.3 V supply is available |
| ADS8326IPW | 16-bit, 500 kSPS, SPI interface, internal reference, 2.7–5.5 V supply, no auto-sleep mode | Higher resolution but slower; no power-down feature; larger 16-pin TSSOP package increases layout area | Select when 16-bit resolution is mandatory and power budget allows 5.5 mA active current; avoid for battery-critical designs |
Compared with AD7894ARZ-2REEL, AD7940BRMZ trades integrated track/hold and 5 V compatibility for 2× speed and SPI standardization, while ADS8326IPW offers 2 extra bits at half the sample rate and no autonomous power management-making AD7894ARZ-2REEL uniquely balanced for cost-sensitive, low-power, ±2.5 V industrial sensing.

FAQ
What is the correct reference voltage for AD7894ARZ-2REEL?
The AD7894ARZ-2REEL requires an external +2.5 V ±5% reference applied to the REF IN pin. This voltage defines the full-scale range and directly impacts gain accuracy; deviations cause proportional scaling errors. Recommended sources include the AD780 or AD680 precision references, which maintain stability and low noise over temperature.
Does AD7894ARZ-2REEL support unipolar input ranges?
No-AD7894ARZ-2REEL is the ±2.5 V variant (AD7894-3), supporting only bipolar input ranges. The unipolar 0 V to +2.5 V version is AD7894-2 (e.g., AD7894ARZ-2), which uses straight binary coding and different gain/offset error specifications. Using AD7894ARZ-2REEL with unipolar signals requires external level-shifting circuitry.
How does the auto power-down mode work in AD7894ARZ-2REEL?
In Mode 2, AD7894ARZ-2REEL enters power-down (20 µA IDD) automatically when CONVST remains low after conversion completes. A rising edge on CONVST triggers a ~5 µs wake-up period before the next conversion starts. This eliminates external control logic and reduces average power in low-duty-cycle applications like periodic sensor polling.
What is the maximum SCLK frequency supported by AD7894ARZ-2REEL?
The AD7894ARZ-2REEL supports up to 16 MHz SCLK, but system-level timing constraints apply: data access time t4 is 60 ns max, and setup/hold margins must be maintained. At 16 MHz, the 16-bit read takes 1.0 µs; combined with 5 µs conversion and 250 ns quiet time, the minimum throughput is 6.25 µs (160 kHz).
Is AD7894ARZ-2REEL pin-compatible with other AD7894 variants?
Yes-AD7894ARZ-2REEL shares identical SO-8 pinout and electrical interface with all AD7894 variants (e.g., AD7894ARZ-10, AD7894ARZ-2). However, input range, output coding (twos-complement vs. straight binary), and gain/offset error specs differ per variant; swapping requires firmware and signal conditioning verification.
