Product details
Overview
AD7898AR-10 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with ±10 V bipolar input range, 220 kSPS throughput, single 5 V supply operation, and on-chip track/hold amplifier - designed for precision data acquisition in industrial sensor interfaces and instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7898AR-10 datasheet, AD7898AR-10 pinout, AD7898AR-10 application, or AD7898AR-10 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 package layout, Mode 0/Mode 1 serial interface timing constraints, SNR of 71 dB at 30 kHz, and confirmed alternatives for ±10 V input signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The AD7898AR-10 implements a laser-trimmed internal oscillator for Mode 0 conversion control and supports external SCLK-synchronized conversion in Mode 1 with power-down capability. Its R-2R ladder DAC-based SAR architecture accepts buffered 2.5 V reference input and delivers two's complement 12-bit output with four leading zeros over SDATA.
Input scaling uses a resistive ladder (R1 = 30 kΩ, R2 = 7.5 kΩ, R3 = 10 kΩ) to achieve ±10 V full-scale range while maintaining 24 kΩ minimum input resistance. Aperture jitter is 75 ps typ, full-power bandwidth is 3.6 MHz @ 3 dB, and track/hold acquisition time is 520 ns typ for AD7898AR-10.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees no missing codes; LSB = 4.88 mV for ±10 V range. |
| Throughput Rate | 220 kSPS max - achievable in both Mode 0 (internal clock) and Mode 1 (external SCLK up to 3.7 MHz). |
| Input Range | ±10 V - supported by dedicated AD7898-10 variant with 24 kΩ min input resistance. |
| Signal-to-Noise+Distortion | 71 dB min at fIN = 30 kHz - enables >11.5 ENOB for medium-bandwidth ac signals. |
| Power Dissipation | 22.5 mW max - achieved at 5 V supply; drops to 25 µW in Mode 1 power-down state. |
| Reference Input | 2.5 V ± 5% - externally supplied, buffered on-chip; requires 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - specified across full range for industrial-grade reliability. |
Pinout & Package
AD7898AR-10 is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (R-8), with gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF IN | Voltage reference input | Accepts 2.375 V to 2.625 V buffered reference; determines full-scale accuracy and LSB size. |
| 2 - VIN | Analog input channel | ±10 V bipolar input with high-impedance resistive ladder front-end; no dynamic charging current. |
| 3 - GND | Analog ground reference | Common return for track/hold, comparator, DAC, and digital logic; must connect to clean analog plane. |
| 4 - SCLK | Serial clock input | Controls data readout timing; serves as conversion clock in Mode 1; max 15 MHz in Mode 0. |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial data output | 16-bit frame (4 zeros + 12-bit two's complement result); three-stated after final bit. |
| 6 - VDRIVE | Logic I/O supply | Sets interface voltage level (2.7 V to 5.25 V); enables direct connection to 3 V or 5 V processors. |
| 7 - CS / CONVST | Chip select / convert start | Falling-edge triggered: initiates conversion (Mode 0) or frames serial transfer (Mode 1). |
| 8 - VDD | Analog/digital power supply | 4.75 V to 5.25 V single supply; powers ADC core, track/hold, and internal logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flexible dual-mode serial interface | Mode 0 (3-wire, internal clock) and Mode 1 (3-wire, SCLK-synchronized with power-down) both support 220 kSPS. |
| VDRIVE logic-level independence | Serial I/O operates at 2.7–5.25 V independent of VDD, enabling seamless interfacing with 3 V microcontrollers. |
| On-chip track/hold amplifier | Acquisition time 520 ns typ; full-power bandwidth 3.6 MHz @ 3 dB - supports subsampling of band-limited signals. |
| Bipolar ±10 V input scaling | Resistive ladder network (30 kΩ/7.5 kΩ/10 kΩ) provides precise gain/offset matching without external op-amps. |
| Low-noise dynamic performance | 71 dB SINAD, –78 dB THD, –89 dB peak spurious at 30 kHz - suitable for precision instrumentation and sensor digitization. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, ±10 V input ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7892AR-10 | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, ±10 V input, but lacks on-chip track/hold and requires external sample-and-hold circuit. | Higher system complexity and board area; unsuitable for direct replacement in track/hold-dependent designs. | Select AD7898AR-10 when integrated track/hold, lower power (22.5 mW vs. 30 mW), or guaranteed no-missing-codes performance is required. |
| ADS7816U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, ±10 V input, SPI-compatible, but only specified for 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range. | Not qualified for industrial –40°C to +85°C operation; lacks VDRIVE pin for mixed-voltage interfacing. | Choose AD7898AR-10 for extended temperature reliability, 3 V/5 V logic compatibility, and validated 71 dB SINAD across full temp range. |
Compared with AD7892AR-10 and ADS7816U, AD7898AR-10 uniquely integrates track/hold, supports industrial temperature range, and enables direct 3 V processor interfacing via VDRIVE - reducing system component count and thermal design margin requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7898AR-10?
The AD7898AR-10 achieves a maximum throughput rate of 220 kSPS in both Mode 0 (internal clock) and Mode 1 (external SCLK). In Mode 1, this requires an SCLK frequency of up to 3.7 MHz; in Mode 0, SCLK may run up to 15 MHz for optimal timing margin. The AD7898AR-10 maintains full dc and ac specifications - including ±1 LSB relative accuracy and 71 dB SINAD - at this rate.
Does the AD7898AR-10 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7898AR-10 requires an external 2.5 V ± 5% reference applied to the REF IN pin. The device includes an on-chip buffer for this input, and a 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor is mandatory per the datasheet. The AD7898AR-10 does not contain an internal reference; using an inaccurate or noisy reference directly degrades full-scale accuracy and SNR performance of the AD7898AR-10.
Can the AD7898AR-10 interface directly with a 3 V microcontroller?
Yes, the AD7898AR-10 supports direct 3 V logic interfacing via its dedicated VDRIVE pin. When VDRIVE is tied to 3 V, all digital inputs (CS/CONVST, SCLK) accept 3 V–compatible thresholds, and SDATA outputs valid logic levels compatible with 3 V receivers - without level shifters. This feature is fully characterized and guaranteed across temperature for the AD7898AR-10.
What is the input impedance of the AD7898AR-10 analog input?
The AD7898AR-10 specifies a minimum input resistance of 24 kΩ for its ±10 V input range. This value results from its internal resistive ladder network (R1 = 30 kΩ, R2 = 7.5 kΩ, R3 = 10 kΩ) followed by a high-impedance track/hold amplifier input stage. Unlike switched-capacitor ADCs, the AD7898AR-10 presents a purely resistive, benign input with no dynamic charge injection - simplifying driver amplifier selection.
How does the AD7898AR-10 handle power-down functionality?
Power-down is available only in Mode 1 operation of the AD7898AR-10 and is activated by holding CS high while keeping SCLK inactive. In this state, IDD drops to 20 µA max across temperature, reducing power dissipation to 25 µW typical at 5 V. Recovery time from power-down is 4.33 µs max, after which normal conversion can resume - making the AD7898AR-10 suitable for battery-powered or duty-cycled data loggers.
