Product details
Overview
AD7912ARMZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, 2-channel, successive approximation ADC with 1 MSPS throughput, operating from a single 2.35 V to 5.25 V supply. It features dual single-ended analog inputs (VIN0/VIN1), SPI-compatible serial interface, and no pipeline delay-enabling precise timing-critical sampling in portable instrumentation and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7912ARMZ-REEL datasheet, AD7912ARMZ-REEL pinout, AD7912ARMZ-REEL application, or AD7912ARMZ-REEL equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications including 10-bit resolution, 61 dB SINAD at 100 kHz, ±0.5 LSB INL, 290 ns acquisition time, and TSOT-8 package compatibility-critical for low-power, space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The AD7912ARMZ-REEL implements a true successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated track-and-hold, supporting input frequencies up to 8.5 MHz (−3 dB) and full-power bandwidth of 1.5 MHz (−0.1 dB). Conversion is initiated by the falling edge of CS, with sampling synchronized to CS and clocked by SCLK at up to 18 MHz.
It uses internal VDD-referenced conversion, eliminating external reference components, and supports daisy-chain mode for multi-ADC systems. Channel selection is performed via DIN pin during CS assertion, and output data includes channel ID and mode bits before the 10-bit result (MSB-first, two trailing zeros).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10 bits - guarantees monotonic transfer function with no missing codes across full temperature range. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS maximum - enables real-time sampling of signals up to ~400 kHz (Nyquist-limited) without aliasing in baseband applications. |
| SINAD @ 100 kHz | 61 dB minimum - defines usable dynamic range for medium-fidelity sensor signal digitization (e.g., medical biosensors, industrial transducers). |
| INL / DNL | ±0.5 LSB max each - ensures high linearity for precision measurement where code-edge accuracy impacts calibration stability. |
| Acquisition Time | 290 ns maximum - determines minimum inter-conversion interval when multiplexing between VIN0 and VIN1 channels. |
| Power @ 1 MSPS | 4.8 mW typ at 3 V - enables continuous high-speed sampling in energy-sensitive applications like handheld meters and PDA peripherals. |
| Standby Current | 1 µA maximum - allows rapid wake-up from ultra-low-power sleep states without external reset or reinitialization overhead. |
Pinout & Package
AD7912ARMZ-REEL is housed in an 8-lead TSOT package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.8 mm), optimized for compact PCB layouts and thermal efficiency in portable systems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DOUT (Pin 4) | Serial data output | Three-state logic output delivering 12-bit frame (2 leading zeros + CHN bit + MOD bit + 10-bit result + 2 trailing zeros) on SCLK falling edges. |
| CS (Pin 3) | Chip select / conversion trigger | Active-low signal that initiates sampling on its falling edge and frames serial data transfer; controls normal/power-down modes. |
| SCLK (Pin 2) | Serial clock input | Master clock for both data I/O and internal conversion timing; supports up to 18 MHz for 1 MSPS operation (14-cycle conversion). |
| DIN (Pin 1) | Data input / channel select | Accepts channel selection bit on SCLK falling edge during CS assertion-determines whether VIN0 or VIN1 is converted next. |
| VIN0 (Pin 7), VIN1 (Pin 8) | Analog input channels | Single-ended, 0–VDD input range; internally multiplexed into shared track-and-hold amplifier with 20 pF input capacitance. |
| GND (Pin 6) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for analog circuitry; must be isolated from digital ground to maintain 61 dB SINAD performance. |
| VDD (Pin 5) | Power supply | Single 2.35–5.25 V rail powering analog core, digital interface, and internal reference-no external reference required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | True SAR architecture provides deterministic, one-shot conversion with zero latency between sample initiation and result availability-critical for closed-loop control feedback. |
| Daisy-chain capability | Enables synchronous readout of multiple AD7912ARMZ-REEL devices using a single SCLK/CS pair-reduces GPIO count and simplifies firmware for multi-sensor nodes. |
| Flexible power management | Full power-down mode draws ≤1 µA; average current scales linearly with throughput-supports adaptive sampling strategies in energy-harvesting systems. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 2.35 V to 5.25 V without performance degradation-allows direct integration with Li-ion, coin-cell, or regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails without level-shifting. |
| Channel-to-channel isolation | 90 dB typical crosstalk suppression-ensures accurate simultaneous monitoring of independent analog sources (e.g., voltage + current sensing in power supplies). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7922ARMZ-REEL | 12-bit resolution, 70 dB SINAD min, higher power (15.5 mW at 5 V), same pinout and interface. | Required when >10-bit precision needed for high-dynamic-range sensors (e.g., strain gauges, precision thermistors). | Select AD7922ARMZ-REEL only if system SNR budget demands ≥70 dB and layout allows marginally higher thermal dissipation. |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7912ARMZ-REEL?
The AD7912ARMZ-REEL supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS under specified conditions (VDD = 2.35 V to 5.25 V, fSCLK = 18 MHz). This requires 14 SCLK cycles per conversion, limiting minimum conversion period to 777 ns. At lower clock speeds, throughput scales linearly-for example, 500 kSPS at 9 MHz SCLK-while maintaining full DC and AC specifications.
Does the AD7912ARMZ-REEL require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD7912ARMZ-REEL uses an internal reference derived from VDD, enabling operation with a single supply rail from 2.35 V to 5.25 V. This eliminates external reference components and associated layout complexity, while providing a full-scale input range of 0 V to VDD. Reference rejection ratio is specified at 60 dB, ensuring robustness against supply ripple.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the AD7912ARMZ-REEL?
In daisy-chain mode, multiple AD7912ARMZ-REEL devices share a common SCLK and CS line, with DOUT of one device connected to DIN of the next. During a single CS assertion, all devices perform conversions simultaneously, and results are shifted out sequentially via the chain's final DOUT pin. This reduces microcontroller pin count and simplifies synchronization in multi-channel systems.
What is the analog input voltage range for the AD7912ARMZ-REEL?
The AD7912ARMZ-REEL accepts single-ended analog inputs from 0 V to VDD across both VIN0 and VIN1 pins. Input leakage current is limited to ±0.3 µA, and input capacitance is 20 pF typical. The device tolerates overvoltage up to VDD + 0.3 V per Absolute Maximum Ratings, but sustained operation outside 0–VDD may degrade INL or cause latch-up.
Can the AD7912ARMZ-REEL operate from a 2.5 V supply?
Yes, the AD7912ARMZ-REEL is fully specified for operation from 2.35 V to 5.25 V. At 2.5 V, it maintains 1 MSPS throughput, 61 dB SINAD at 100 kHz, and ±0.5 LSB INL. Power consumption drops to ~2 mW typical, and logic thresholds adapt automatically (VINH = 0.7 × VDD, VINL = 0.2 × VDD), ensuring reliable SPI communication without level shifters.
