Product details
Overview
AD7895AN-2 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit unipolar successive-approximation ADC with 3.8 µs conversion time, single +5 V supply operation, 0 V to +2.5 V input range, and high-speed serial interface. It integrates on-chip track/hold amplifier, internal clock, and straight binary output coding-designed for precision data acquisition in space-constrained industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AD7895AN-2 datasheet, AD7895AN-2 pinout, AD7895AN-2 application, or AD7895AN-2 equivalent, key selection criteria include unipolar 0–2.5 V input compliance, 70 dB SNR at 50 kHz, ±1 LSB relative accuracy, 20 mW max power dissipation, and compatibility with microcontroller SPI-like serial read timing (15 MHz SCLK, 16-bit frame with 4 leading zeros).
Technical Context
The AD7895AN-2 implements a laser-trimmed R-2R ladder SAR architecture with integrated track/hold and buffered 2.5 V reference input. Its analog front-end accepts only 0 V to +2.5 V unipolar signals with ≤500 nA input current and no external scaling resistors-unlike the AD7895-10/-3 variants.
It operates in two modes: Mode 1 (high-speed, 3.8 µs conversion, BUSY active during conversion) and Mode 2 (auto-power-down, 9.8 µs total cycle including 6 µs wake-up). Serial output delivers 16 bits per frame (4 leading zeros + 12 data bits) on SDATA, synchronized to falling-edge SCLK, with data valid for 10 ns after each falling edge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - guarantees no missing codes over full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to +2.5 V - requires external 2.5 V reference; no input scaling resistors needed |
| Conversion Time | 3.8 µs (Mode 1) - enables up to 192 kHz sampling rate when combined with 1.1 µs serial read at 15 MHz SCLK |
| Signal-to-Noise+Distortion | 70 dB min @ 50 kHz - meets precision measurement requirements for sensor signal chains |
| Relative Accuracy | ±1 LSB max - ensures monotonic transfer function and predictable code transitions |
| Power Dissipation | 20 mW max at +5 V - supports battery-powered or thermally constrained embedded systems |
| Output Coding | Straight (natural) binary - simplifies firmware decoding vs. 2's complement used in bipolar variants |
Pinout & Package
AD7895AN-2 is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (N-8 package), 0.3" wide, with standard through-hole mounting. Pin spacing and footprint match industry-standard 8-DIP layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF IN | Voltage reference input | Accepts buffered +2.5 V ±5% reference; max 1 µA input current; sets full-scale range |
| 2 - VIN | Analog input channel | Unipolar 0 V to +2.5 V input; high-impedance (>1 GΩ effective); no dynamic charging current |
| 3 - GND | Analog ground reference | Common return for track/hold, comparator, DAC, and digital logic; must be low-impedance |
| 4 - SCLK | Serial clock input | External clock up to 15 MHz; falling edge clocks out SDATA; min pulse width 352 ns |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial data output | 3-state output; provides 16-bit frame (4 zeros + 12 data bits); data valid 10 ns after SCLK falling edge |
| 6 - BUSY | Conversion status indicator | Active-high open-drain output; asserts high on CONVST falling edge, clears low after conversion completes |
| 7 - CONVST | Convert start trigger | Edge-triggered input; falling edge initiates conversion and hold mode; low level enables auto-power-down |
| 8 - VDD | Positive supply | +5 V ±5%; powers all analog and digital circuitry; max IDD = 4 mA in active mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | Acquires input to ±1/2 LSB in ≤0.5 µs-enables accurate digitization of fast-changing sensor outputs without external components |
| Auto power-down mode | Reduces IDD to ≤10 µA between conversions-extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications |
| High-speed serial interface | Two-wire (SCLK/SDATA) with 15 MHz max clock-eliminates parallel bus routing and reduces MCU GPIO count |
| Unipolar straight-binary output | Direct mapping of 0x000–0xFFF to 0–2.5 V-removes sign-bit handling and simplifies firmware math |
| Single-supply +5 V operation | No dual-rail or charge-pump required-reduces BOM cost and PCB area vs. legacy ±15 V ADCs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit unipolar SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7895AR-2 | Same electrical specs; SOIC-8 package instead of PDIP-8; θJA = 170°C/W vs. 130°C/W | Better suited for surface-mount production and higher-density PCBs | Select AR-2 for automated assembly; AN-2 preferred for prototyping, socketing, or thermal-limited environments |
| AD7894AR-3 | 14-bit resolution, ±2.5 V input range, 2's complement output, 3 µs conversion, same SOIC-8 footprint | Requires bipolar signal conditioning and firmware sign-handling; higher resolution but narrower input range | Choose AD7894AR-3 only if 14-bit precision is mandatory and input signal fits ±2.5 V range |
Compared with AD7895AR-2, the AD7895AN-2 offers identical performance in a through-hole package with superior thermal resistance-critical for high-reliability industrial use. Versus AD7894AR-3, it trades 2 bits of resolution for guaranteed unipolar 0–2.5 V compatibility and simpler firmware integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the AD7895AN-2 can safely accept?
The AD7895AN-2 has an absolute maximum analog input rating of –5 V to +10 V, but its specified linear operating range is strictly 0 V to +2.5 V. Exceeding +2.5 V risks code saturation and violates the unipolar transfer function; sustained overvoltage may damage the input stage. Always use clamping or scaling networks if input signals exceed this range.
Does the AD7895AN-2 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7895AN-2 requires an external +2.5 V reference applied to the REF IN pin. The device does not include an internal reference. Precision references such as the AD780 or AD680 are recommended to maintain the specified ±1 LSB linearity and 70 dB SNR performance.
How does the AD7895AN-2 handle power management during idle periods?
The AD7895AN-2 supports automatic power-down mode: when CONVST remains low after conversion completion, the device enters standby, reducing IDD to ≤10 µA. It wakes up automatically before the next conversion cycle-no external control signal is needed beyond the CONVST trigger.
Can the AD7895AN-2 interface directly with a standard SPI master?
Yes-the AD7895AN-2's SCLK/SDATA/BUSY interface is SPI-compatible in mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0), though it lacks dedicated CS. BUSY serves as ready/busy indicator, and SDATA is 3-state. A GPIO must emulate chip select by controlling CONVST timing and ensuring no SCLK activity during conversion.
What is the significance of the "AN" suffix in AD7895AN-2?
The "AN" suffix denotes the 8-pin plastic DIP (N-8) package variant of the AD7895AN-2. It specifies the physical form factor-not temperature grade or speed bin. All AD7895AN-2 units meet the –40°C to +85°C operating range and ±1 LSB linearity spec per the official Analog Devices ordering guide.
