Product details
Overview
AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, 2-channel, successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating from a single 2.35 V to 5.25 V supply with 1 MSPS throughput, 71 dB minimum SNR at 100 kHz input, and channel-to-channel isolation of 90 dB typ - used in portable medical instruments and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 datasheet, AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 pinout, AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 application, or AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-bit resolution, dual single-ended inputs (VIN0/VIN1), SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface, no pipeline delay, and 8-lead TSOT package for space-constrained embedded sensing nodes.
Technical Context
The AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 implements a track-and-hold amplifier with 290 ns max acquisition time and 8.5 MHz full-power bandwidth, enabling accurate sampling of signals up to 100 kHz with 61 dB min SINAD and −71 dB max THD. Its conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS, with timing fully controlled by the external SCLK signal (up to 18 MHz).
It uses internal VDD-referenced conversion, eliminating need for external reference, and supports daisy-chain mode for multi-ADC systems. The device features flexible power management: 4.8 mW typ at 1 MSPS with 3 V supplies, and standby current ≤1 µA - critical for ultra-low-power wake-up sampling in portable instrumentation.
Key Specifications

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-REEL7 | 12-bit resolution, 70 dB min SINAD, higher power (20 mW max at 5 V), same pinout and interface. | Required where higher dynamic range is needed (e.g., precision vibration analysis), not suitable for strict 10-bit cost/power targets. | Select AD7922ARMZ-REEL7 only when 12-bit resolution and ≥70 dB SINAD are mandatory; AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 remains optimal for 10-bit, lower-power use cases. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS max, SPI-only interface, 8-pin SOIC package, no daisy-chain mode. | Limited to slower sampling; lacks channel isolation spec and low-power standby (10 µA min), unsuitable for 1 MSPS portable systems. | ADS7822U may serve legacy designs with SOIC footprints and sub-200 kSPS requirements but cannot replace AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 in high-throughput, low-power, or daisy-chain architectures. |
Compared with AD7922ARMZ-REEL7 and ADS7822U, AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 uniquely balances 1 MSPS speed, 10-bit precision, 1 µA standby, and daisy-chain capability in a 3×1.7 mm TSOT package - making it the only option meeting simultaneous constraints of size, power, speed, and multi-device scalability in next-gen portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7912ARMZ-REEL7?
The AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, achieved with an SCLK frequency of up to 18 MHz 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). At lower SCLK frequencies, the throughput scales linearly - for example, 5 MHz SCLK yields ~315 kSPS. The AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 maintains full 10-bit accuracy and specified SNR/THD performance at all supported rates.
Does the AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 uses an internal reference derived from the VDD supply, eliminating the need for an external reference component. This design simplifies layout, reduces BOM count, and maintains a 0 to VDD analog input range. The internal reference contributes to the specified ±0.5 LSB max gain error and ±0.3 LSB max gain error match between channels. No external reference pins are present on the AD7912ARMZ-REEL7, and connecting an external reference is neither supported nor required.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on the AD7912ARMZ-REEL7?
In daisy-chain mode, multiple AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 devices share a single SCLK and CS line, with DOUT of one device connected to DIN of the next. A single 12-bit frame (for AD7912ARMZ-REEL7) is clocked out per device, allowing sequential readout of all conversions in one serial transaction. The mode is enabled by asserting CS and applying sufficient SCLK cycles (14 per device); channel and mode bits remain valid per device. This reduces microcontroller SPI peripheral usage and ensures synchronized sampling across the chain when CS is asserted simultaneously.
What is the analog input structure of the AD7912ARMZ-REEL7?
The AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 features two single-ended analog inputs (VIN0 and VIN1), multiplexed into a shared track-and-hold amplifier. Input voltage range is 0 V to VDD, with ±0.3 µA max DC leakage and 20 pF typical input capacitance. Channel selection is performed dynamically via the DIN pin before each conversion. The device specifies 90 dB typical channel-to-channel isolation, ensuring minimal crosstalk when sampling different signal sources - critical for applications like dual-sensor monitoring or differential measurements using external amplification.
What power-saving modes does the AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 support?
The AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 supports a full power-down mode with ≤1 µA maximum standby current (typically 50 nA), activated by holding CS high while SCLK is inactive. Power-up time from this state is ≤1 µs. During active conversion, average power is minimized via SCLK-gated operation: IDD drops to 1.5 mA typ (2.35–3.6 V) or 3 mA typ (4.75–5.25 V) in static normal mode, and scales with throughput. At 1 MSPS, power dissipation is 6 mW max at 3 V - significantly lower than competing 10-bit ADCs with similar speed, enabling extended runtime in battery-powered AD7912ARMZ-REEL7 deployments.
