Product details
Overview
AD7904BRUZ-REEL from Analog Devices is an 8-bit, 4-channel, 1 MSPS successive approximation ADC with integrated channel sequencer, single-supply operation (2.7 V to 5.25 V), and SPI-compatible serial interface. It features 0.2 LSB max INL, 6 mW power dissipation at 3 V/1 MSPS, and 16-lead TSSOP packaging - optimized for space-constrained industrial sensor data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7904BRUZ-REEL datasheet, AD7904BRUZ-REEL pinout, AD7904BRUZ-REEL application, or AD7904BRUZ-REEL equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade qualification, real-world sequencing behavior, and direct alternative part comparisons - all grounded in Analog Devices Rev. C datasheet and official package documentation.
Technical Context
The AD7904BRUZ-REEL implements a standard SAR architecture with no pipeline delay, using CS falling edge to initiate sampling and SCLK as both serial clock and conversion master clock. Its internal track-and-hold supports >8 MHz input bandwidth and maintains ±0.05 LSB offset/gain match across four single-ended inputs.
Configuration is managed via a 16-bit control register accessed through DIN/DOUT, enabling selection of input range (0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN), output coding (straight binary or twos complement), and sequencer mode (fixed or auto-increment). VDRIVE decouples logic interface voltage (2.7 V–5.25 V) from AVDD, allowing direct interfacing with 3 V or 5 V microcontrollers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - delivers 256 discrete output codes; sufficient for cost-sensitive industrial monitoring where high dynamic range is not required. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS maximum - enables real-time capture of fast transients up to ~500 kHz Nyquist frequency in multi-channel polling. |
| INL / DNL | ±0.2 LSB max each - ensures monotonicity and <0.1% full-scale linearity error, critical for closed-loop control feedback accuracy. |
| Power Dissipation | 6 mW at 3 V / 1 MSPS - enables battery-powered or thermally constrained designs without active cooling. |
| Input Range Options | 0 V to REFIN (2.5 V) or 0 V to 2 × REFIN (5 V) - selectable via RANGE bit; supports both ratiometric and absolute reference configurations. |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP compatible - uses standard 4-wire protocol (CS, SCLK, DIN, DOUT) with MSB-first, no frame sync overhead. |
| Channel Sequencer | Programmable 4-channel single-ended sequencer - reduces host processor overhead by automatically cycling through VIN0–VIN3 without register rewrites. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C (B version) - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and motor drive monitoring. |
Pinout & Package
AD7904BRUZ-REEL is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, and rated for automotive and industrial use. Thermal resistance θJA = 150.4°C/W enables stable operation at full throughput under natural convection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Master clock for both data transfer and internal conversion timing; falling edge clocks DIN, rising edge samples DOUT. |
| DIN | Control register data input | Accepts 16-bit configuration word on falling SCLK edges; sets sequencer mode, input range, coding, and channel address. |
| CS | Chip select / conversion trigger | Active-low signal that initiates sampling on falling edge and frames serial communication; no minimum pulse width required. |
| AGND (Pins 4, 8, 13, 16) | Analog ground reference | Common return for all analog circuitry; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling into sensitive input/REFIN paths. |
| AVDD (Pins 5, 6) | Analog power supply | Single 2.7 V–5.25 V supply powering SAR core, T/H amplifier, and reference buffer; requires local 10 µF + 100 nF decoupling. |
| REFIN | External reference input | 2.5 V ±1% precision reference input; impedance ~36 kΩ; determines full-scale range and directly impacts gain error and SNR. |
| VIN0–VIN3 (Pins 9–12) | Single-ended analog inputs | Four independent channels multiplexed to internal T/H; support 0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2×REFIN ranges; unused pins must tie to AGND. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | MSB-first stream: two leading zeros + two address bits + eight data bits + four trailing zeros; tri-state controlled by CS. |
| VDRIVE | Digital I/O supply | Independent 2.7 V–5.25 V logic supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds and enables level-shifting between ADC and host MCU without external translators. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Sampling instant precisely controlled by CS falling edge; eliminates latency uncertainty in time-critical control loops. |
| Flexible power management | Three operating modes - Normal (2 mA @ 3 V), Auto Shutdown (960 µA @ 250 kSPS), Full Shutdown (0.5 µA) - enable dynamic throughput scaling. |
| VDRIVE decoupled logic interface | Allows direct connection to 3 V or 5 V processors regardless of AVDD; removes need for level shifters in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Guaranteed no missing codes | Validated over full temperature range; ensures deterministic response to monotonic input ramps - essential for position/speed sensing. |
| Channel-to-channel isolation | −85 dB at 400 kHz - prevents crosstalk between sequentially sampled sensors (e.g., current + voltage + temperature in power modules). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7914BRUZ-REEL | 10-bit resolution, 61 dB SNR, ±0.5 LSB INL, same package and pinout | Higher precision required for vibration analysis or calibrated sensor outputs where 8-bit quantization noise is unacceptable | Select when system SNR budget demands >60 dB and INL tolerance tightens to ±0.5 LSB - retains identical layout and firmware structure. |
| ADS7953IRHBT | Texas Instruments 12-bit, 1 MSPS, 16-channel SAR ADC; 3.3 V only; SPI interface; different pinout (QFN-32) | Higher channel count needed for multi-sensor arrays; requires PCB redesign and driver adaptation | Choose only if expanding beyond 4 channels is imminent; not drop-in - new layout, updated HAL, and revised decoupling strategy required. |
Compared with AD7904BRUZ-REEL, AD7914BRUZ-REEL offers 2-bit higher resolution at identical speed and footprint, while ADS7953IRHBT trades pin compatibility for 4× channel density and TI-specific register mapping - making the former a seamless upgrade and the latter a platform-level change.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the AD7904BRUZ-REEL?
The AD7904BRUZ-REEL supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, achieved with a 20 MHz SCLK and 16-clock conversion cycle. At this rate, the total conversion time is 800 ns maximum, and the device delivers guaranteed monotonic 8-bit output with no pipeline delay - enabling deterministic timing for real-time control applications.
Does the AD7904BRUZ-REEL require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7904BRUZ-REEL requires an external reference applied to the REFIN pin. The datasheet specifies 2.5 V ±1% for guaranteed performance; deviation beyond this range affects gain accuracy and SNR. The device does not include an internal reference, and REFIN must be decoupled with ≥1 µF ceramic capacitor close to the pin.
Can the AD7904BRUZ-REEL operate with different supply voltages for analog and digital sections?
Yes - the AD7904BRUZ-REEL separates analog power (AVDD, 2.7 V–5.25 V) from digital I/O power (VDRIVE, also 2.7 V–5.25 V). This allows AVDD to be set to 3.3 V for low-noise analog performance while VDRIVE runs at 5 V to interface with legacy microcontrollers, eliminating level-shifter components in mixed-voltage systems.
How does the channel sequencer function in the AD7904BRUZ-REEL?
The AD7904BRUZ-REEL sequencer cycles through VIN0–VIN3 in programmable order using SEQ1/SEQ0 bits in the control register. Once enabled, it automatically advances to the next channel after each conversion without host intervention - reducing CPU overhead and ensuring consistent inter-channel timing critical for phase-aligned measurements.
Is the AD7904BRUZ-REEL qualified for automotive applications?
No - the AD7904BRUZ-REEL is the B-version (−40°C to +85°C), qualified for industrial use. For automotive applications, Analog Devices offers the W-version (e.g., AD7904WYRUZ) rated −40°C to +125°C and AEC-Q100 qualified. The BRUZ-REEL suffix indicates industrial-grade TSSOP packaging, not automotive qualification.
