Product details
Overview
AD7894BRZ-10 from Analog Devices is a 14-bit successive-approximation ADC with ±10 V bipolar input range, 5 µs conversion time in high-speed mode, 77 dB SNR at 70 kHz, and on-chip track/hold amplifier - designed for precision data acquisition in industrial instrumentation and motor control feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the AD7894BRZ-10 datasheet, AD7894BRZ-10 pinout, AD7894BRZ-10 application, or AD7894BRZ-10 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±1.5 LSB relative accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, SO-8 package compatibility, single 5 V supply operation, and twos-complement serial output timing aligned to SCLK falling edge.
Technical Context
The AD7894BRZ-10 implements a laser-trimmed internal clock driving a 14-bit R-2R ladder SAR core, with integrated signal scaling resistors (R1=8 kΩ, R2=R3=2 kΩ) enabling ±10 V full-scale input from a +2.5 V reference. Its track/hold achieves 14-bit settling in ≤0.35 µs with 7.5 MHz small-signal bandwidth and 50 ps aperture jitter.
It operates in two modes: Mode 1 (5 µs conversion, continuous sampling up to 160 kHz) and Mode 2 (10 µs effective conversion including 5 µs wake-up, auto-power-down to 20 µA). Serial interface uses SCLK falling edge to clock out 16-bit frames: two leading zeros followed by 14-bit twos-complement data, with SDATA three-stated after the 16th edge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14 bits - guarantees no missing codes across full operating temperature range |
| Conversion Time | 5 µs max (Mode 1) - enables 160 kHz sustained throughput with 250 ns quiet time before next CONVST |
| Input Range | ±10 V - supported by on-chip resistor network; requires external +2.5 V reference at REF IN |
| Relative Accuracy | ±1.5 LSB max - specifies endpoint nonlinearity error over –40°C to +85°C (B-grade) |
| SNR | 77 dB min at 70 kHz - measured with fSAMPLE = 160 kHz, defines usable dynamic range for AC signals |
| Power Dissipation | 20 mW typ at 5 V - drops to 15 µW in power-down mode, critical for portable or low-quiescent systems |
| Package | SO-8 (Narrow Body) - 150 mil width, standard JEDEC MS-012 footprint, compatible with automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
AD7894BRZ-10 is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC (SO-8) package with standard JEDEC MS-012 dimensions (4.9 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.75 mm), gull-wing leads, and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF IN | Voltage reference input | Accepts buffered +2.5 V ±5% reference; 1 µA max input current; sets full-scale gain for ±10 V range |
| 2 - VIN | Analog input channel | ±10 V differential input (relative to GND); high-impedance node after scaling resistors; no dynamic charging current |
| 3 - GND | Analog ground reference | Common return for track/hold, comparator, DAC, and digital logic; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling |
| 4 - SCLK | Serial clock input | Asynchronous input controlling SDATA timing; data valid 10 ns after falling edge; supports up to 16 MHz frequency |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial data output | Three-state output delivering 16-bit frame (2 zeros + 14-bit twos-complement); disabled after 16th SCLK edge |
| 6 - BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain signal; goes high on CONVST falling edge, returns low 5 µs later when conversion completes |
| 7 - CONVST | Edge-triggered conversion start | Falling-edge sensitive; initiates track-to-hold transition and conversion sequence; low hold enables auto-power-down |
| 8 - VDD | Positive supply | +5 V ±5% supply; powers analog and digital sections; 5.5 mA max IDD; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply 14-bit conversion | Operates from +5 V only - eliminates need for dual ±15 V supplies in legacy industrial designs |
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | Acquires ±10 V signals to 14-bit accuracy in ≤0.35 µs - removes requirement for external THS circuitry |
| High-speed serial interface | Two-wire (SCLK/SDATA) with 16 MHz max clock - reduces PCB routing complexity vs parallel bus ADCs |
| Auto-power-down mode | Draws 20 µA in sleep - extends battery life in portable DAQ systems without software intervention |
| B-grade accuracy guarantee | ±1.5 LSB relative accuracy over –40°C to +85°C - enables drop-in replacement of AD7894AR-10 in demanding environments |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7894AR-10 | A-grade (±2 LSB relative accuracy) vs B-grade (±1.5 LSB); otherwise identical pinout, timing, and specs | Suitable where cost sensitivity outweighs tighter linearity requirement; same SO-8 footprint and layout | Select AD7894AR-10 for cost-optimized industrial designs where ±2 LSB error is acceptable |
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit resolution, 2.5 µs conversion, SPI-compatible interface, but requires external reference and track/hold | Higher resolution needed for metrology; lacks integrated scaling for ±10 V - needs external op-amp conditioning | Choose ADS8325IPW only when 16-bit ENOB and lower THD (–92 dB) are mandatory; adds board area and BOM cost |
Compared with AD7894AR-10, the AD7894BRZ-10 delivers tighter linearity at identical price point and footprint; versus ADS8325IPW, it trades 2-bit resolution for integrated ±10 V scaling, lower power, and reduced system-level design effort.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate achievable with AD7894BRZ-10?
The AD7894BRZ-10 supports a maximum sustained sampling rate of 160 kHz in Mode 1 operation. This requires a 16 MHz SCLK, 5 µs conversion time, 1.0 µs serial read (16 clocks), and 250 ns quiet time before the next CONVST falling edge - totaling 6.25 µs per cycle. Exceeding this rate degrades track/hold settling and violates specified dynamic performance.
Does AD7894BRZ-10 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7894BRZ-10 requires an external +2.5 V reference applied to the REF IN pin. The internal reference buffer accepts 2.375 V to 2.625 V with ≤1 µA input current. Recommended sources include the AD780 or AD680 precision references; reference errors directly contribute to gain error in the AD7894BRZ-10 transfer function.
How does the auto-power-down mode work in AD7894BRZ-10?
In Mode 2, the AD7894BRZ-10 automatically enters power-down (20 µA IDD) when CONVST remains low after conversion completes. A rising edge on CONVST triggers a ~5 µs wake-up period before the next falling edge initiates conversion. This eliminates software overhead for power management and reduces average power in low-duty-cycle applications.
What is the meaning of "B" in AD7894BRZ-10?
The "B" in AD7894BRZ-10 denotes the accuracy grade: ±1.5 LSB relative accuracy over –40°C to +85°C. This is tighter than the "A" grade (±2 LSB) and is verified per the AD7894 datasheet's B-version specifications table. The "RZ" suffix indicates SO-8 package with lead-free (Pb-free) finish and RoHS compliance.
Can AD7894BRZ-10 interface directly with a microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting?
Yes, the AD7894BRZ-10 logic inputs (CONVST, SCLK) accept 0.8 V low and 2.4 V high thresholds at VDD = 5 V ±5%, matching standard 5 V CMOS levels. Its SDATA output drives 4.0 V high (ISOURCE = 400 µA) and 0.4 V low (ISINK = 1.6 mA), fully compatible with 5 V microcontrollers - no level-shifting required.
