Product details
Overview
AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, 250 kSPS successive approximation ADC in a 6-lead SC70 package, operating from a single 2.35 V to 5.25 V supply. It features 71 dB SNR at 100 kHz input, 3.6 mW typical power at 3 V/250 kSPS, and internal VDD-referenced conversion with 0 V to VDD analog input range. It serves as a high-speed, low-power data acquisition front-end in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 datasheet, AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 pinout, AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 application, or AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 10-bit no-missed-codes performance, SC70 footprint compatibility, SPI-compatible serial interface timing (14 SCLK cycles), aperture jitter of 30 ps typ, and full power-down current ≤1 μA.
Technical Context
The AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with integrated track-and-hold, enabling accurate sampling of input frequencies up to 13.5 MHz (–3 dB) and 2 MHz (–0.1 dB). Conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS and clocked by SCLK, with no pipeline delay and deterministic 2.8 μs max conversion time at 5 MHz SCLK.
It uses VDD as its reference source, eliminating external reference components and supporting rail-to-rail analog input (0 V to VDD). Digital interface is SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible, with SDATA output MSB-first and four leading zeros followed by 10-bit data plus two trailing zeros.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10 bits - guarantees monotonic transfer function and no missed codes across full temperature range. |
| Throughput Rate | 250 kSPS max - supports real-time sampling of signals up to ~125 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR @ 100 kHz | 71 dB typ - enables >11.5 ENOB for precision measurement in battery-powered sensors. |
| Power @ 3 V | 3.6 mW typ - allows continuous 250 kSPS operation in sub-10 mW system power budgets. |
| Aperture Jitter | 30 ps typ - limits sampling uncertainty to <0.05 LSB at 100 kHz input, preserving dynamic accuracy. |
| Full Power-Down Current | 1 μA max - reduces idle power by >3000× vs active mode, critical for duty-cycled sensing. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to VDD - eliminates level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with same-supply analog front-ends. |
Pinout & Package
AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 is housed in a 6-lead SC70 package (2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm), optimized for space-constrained portable designs. Thermal resistance θJA = 340.2°C/W reflects compact thermal profile requiring minimal PCB copper area.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Power Supply Input | Single 2.35 V–5.25 V supply powering analog core, digital logic, and internal reference - no external reference needed. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog Ground Reference | Common return for analog input and internal circuitry; must be separated from digital ground to preserve 71 dB SNR. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Analog Input Channel | Single-ended input accepting 0 V to VDD range; 20 pF input capacitance requires low-impedance drive for <250 ns acquisition. |
| SCLK (Pin 4) | Serial Clock Input | Controls both data readout timing and internal SAR conversion clock - 5 MHz max frequency defines 2.8 μs conversion time. |
| SDATA (Pin 5) | Serial Data Output | Three-state CMOS output delivering 14-bit frame (4 leading zeros + 10-bit result + 2 trailing zeros) MSB-first on SCLK falling edge. |
| CS (Pin 6) | Chip Select Input | Active-low signal initiating sample acquisition on falling edge and framing serial data transfer - minimum pulse width 10 ns. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Deterministic 2.8 μs conversion time enables precise timing control in closed-loop systems without latency compensation. |
| VDD-referenced architecture | Eliminates external reference IC and associated layout complexity while maintaining 0 V to VDD full-scale range. |
| Flexible power management | 1 μA max power-down current and 50 nA typical allow microcontroller-gated sampling with <1 μs wake-up (tPOWER-UP ≤1 μs). |
| SPI-compatible serial interface | Direct connection to standard microcontroller SPI peripherals without level shifters or protocol translation logic. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 2.35 V to 5.25 V - supports direct integration into 3.3 V or 5 V systems and brown-out tolerant battery operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7910BRMZ-REEL | Same die, 8-lead MSOP package (3 mm × 3 mm); θJA = 205.9°C/W vs SC70's 340.2°C/W. | Better thermal performance and larger pad spacing eases hand-soldering and rework; occupies 3× PCB area. | Select AD7910BRMZ-REEL for prototyping, thermal-limited environments, or where MSOP footprint is already standardized. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, 8-lead SOIC; requires external reference; 1.25 mW at 3 V/200 kSPS. | Higher resolution but lower speed and fixed SOIC-8 footprint; no internal reference necessitates additional components. | Select ADS7822U only if 12-bit resolution is mandatory and 50 kSPS speed penalty and external reference are acceptable. |
Compared with AD7910BRMZ-REEL, AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 saves >60% board area and suits ultra-compact designs, while ADS7822U trades speed and integration for resolution - neither offers pin compatibility, so layout changes are required for substitution.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7910AKSZ-REEL7?
The AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 supports a maximum throughput rate of 250 kSPS, achieved with a 5 MHz serial clock and 14 SCLK cycles per conversion. This rate is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage range (2.35 V to 5.25 V), making AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 suitable for real-time signal capture in portable instrumentation.
Does the AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 uses an internal reference derived from the VDD supply, enabling a full-scale analog input range of 0 V to VDD. This eliminates the need for external reference components, simplifying layout and reducing BOM cost - a key advantage confirmed in the AD7910/AD7920 Rev. C datasheet Section "General Description" and "Circuit Information".
What package type is used for the AD7910AKSZ-REEL7?
The AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 is packaged in a 6-lead SC70 (2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm), as explicitly shown in Figure 5 ("6-Lead SC70 Pin Configuration") and Table 4 ("Absolute Maximum Ratings") of the AD7910/AD7920 Rev. C datasheet. This compact package supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained applications like wearable sensors.
How does the power consumption of the AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 compare between active and power-down modes?
In normal operational mode at 3 V/250 kSPS, AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 consumes 3.6 mW typ (1.4 mA max). In full power-down mode, it draws ≤1 μA (typically 50 nA), reducing power by over 3000×. This behavior is documented in Tables 1 and 3 of the Rev. C datasheet and enables aggressive duty-cycling in battery-powered systems using AD7910AKSZ-REEL7.
Is the AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 compatible with standard SPI interfaces?
Yes, the AD7910AKSZ-REEL7 features an SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible serial interface. It uses CS (active-low chip select), SCLK (serial clock), and SDATA (data out) pins, with data clocked on the falling edge of SCLK in MSB-first format. This compatibility is confirmed in the "Features" and "Serial Interface" sections of the AD7910/AD7920 Rev. C datasheet.
