Product details
Overview
AD7923SRU-EP from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 4-channel, single-supply successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with integrated channel sequencer, operating at up to 200 kSPS with 70 dB SNR at 50 kHz input, 12-bit resolution, and −55°C to +125°C military temperature range - deployed in avionics sensor signal conditioning and unmanned system telemetry acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the AD7923SRU-EP datasheet, AD7923SRU-EP pinout, AD7923SRU-EP application, or AD7923SRU-EP equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, military-grade thermal and reliability context, SPI-compatible serial interface timing, and precise analog input sequencing behavior for high-integrity embedded data acquisition design.
Technical Context
The AD7923SRU-EP implements a track-and-hold amplifier with 8.2 MHz full-power bandwidth and aperture jitter of 50 ps typ, enabling accurate sampling of fast transients in defense-grade signal chains. Its SAR architecture eliminates pipeline delay, with conversion initiated on CS falling edge and completed in exactly 16 SCLK cycles (e.g., 800 ns at 20 MHz).
It supports dual analog input ranges (0 V to REFIN or 0 V to 2 × REFIN) via control register RANGE bit, and flexible logic-level interfacing via independent VDRIVE pin (2.7 V to 5.25 V), decoupling serial I/O voltage from AVDD. Output coding is selectable between straight binary and twos complement.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD7923SRU-EP is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP (RU-16) package with exposed pad, JEDEC MO-153-AB compliant, 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, and θJA = 150.4°C/W thermal impedance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Master clock for both data transfer and conversion timing; 20 MHz max determines 800 ns conversion time. |
| DIN | Data input | Accepts 16-bit control register writes (ADDR, SEQ, RANGE, CODING bits) on SCLK falling edge. |
| CS | Chip select (active low) | Initiates sampling on falling edge and frames SPI frame; requires ≥50 ns quiet time before next cycle. |
| AGND (Pins 3, 8, 13, 16) | Analog ground reference | Common return for all analog circuitry; all four AGND pins must be low-impedance connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| AVDD (Pins 5, 6) | Analog power supply | Single 2.7 V–5.25 V supply powering core ADC and track-and-hold; 4.75–5.25 V required for 0 V to 2×REFIN range. |
| REFIN | External reference input | 2.5 V ±1% reference sets full-scale range; 36 kΩ input impedance enables direct connection to precision references. |
| VIN0–VIN3 | Single-ended analog inputs | Four channels with programmable sequencer; unused inputs must tie to AGND to prevent noise pickup. |
| DOUT | Serial data output | MSB-first 16-bit frame: two leading zeros + two address bits + 12-bit result; three-state controlled by CS. |
| VDRIVE | Digital I/O power supply | Independent 2.7 V–5.25 V rail sets logic thresholds for DIN/DOUT/CS/SCLK - enables mixed-voltage host interfacing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | True SAR architecture ensures deterministic, single-shot conversion with precise sampling instant controlled by CS edge. |
| VDRIVE decoupled I/O | Allows direct connection to 3 V or 5 V microcontrollers regardless of AVDD, eliminating level-shifter components in mixed-rail systems. |
| Programmable sequencer | Control register SEQ1/SEQ0 bits enable preconfigured channel scan order (e.g., VIN0→VIN1→VIN2→VIN3) without host CPU intervention. |
| Auto shutdown mode | Reduces IDD to 650 µA typ at 200 kSPS (3 V), cutting static power by >99% vs. normal operational mode while retaining fast wake-up. |
| Military-grade reliability | AQEC-compliant manufacturing with single fab/assembly/test site, controlled baseline, and full qualification data available on request. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7924BRUZ-REEL7 | Commercial-grade (−40°C to +85°C), same 4-channel 200 kSPS SAR architecture but lacks AQEC qualification and military temp range. | Not suitable for aerospace or defense deployments requiring extended temperature or traceable manufacturing. | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial or test equipment where military reliability is not mandated. |
| ADS8325IPW | Texas Instruments 16-bit, 100 kSPS SAR ADC in 16-TSSOP; higher resolution but half the throughput and no built-in sequencer. | Requires external sequencing logic or host-driven channel selection, increasing firmware complexity and latency. | Choose when absolute precision >12 bits is critical and lower sample rate is acceptable - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with AD7923SRU-EP, AD7924BRUZ-REEL7 offers identical functionality at lower cost but fails military qualification, while ADS8325IPW trades speed and integration for resolution - making AD7923SRU-EP uniquely balanced for high-reliability, medium-speed, multi-channel defense data acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AD7923SRU-EP?
The AD7923SRU-EP is rated for −55°C to +125°C operation, fully qualified per AQEC standards for defense and aerospace applications. This extended range is enabled by controlled manufacturing baseline, single fabrication/assembly/test site, and rigorous qualification testing - unlike commercial variants such as AD7924BRUZ-REEL7, which only operate from −40°C to +85°C. The AD7923SRU-EP maintains full 12-bit performance and 200 kSPS throughput across this entire range.
Does the AD7923SRU-EP require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7923SRU-EP requires an external reference applied to the REFIN pin, specified at 2.5 V ±1% for guaranteed performance. The device does not include an internal reference. REFIN drives both the 0 V to REFIN and 0 V to 2 × REFIN input ranges, and its 36 kΩ input impedance allows direct connection to precision reference ICs like ADR4525 without buffering. The AD7923SRU-EP's DC leakage current on REFIN is ±1 µA max, minimizing reference loading error.
How does the channel sequencer function in the AD7923SRU-EP?
The AD7923SRU-EP's sequencer is programmed via SEQ1 and SEQ0 bits in the 16-bit control register, enabling preconfigured scan orders across VIN0–VIN3 without host intervention. Supported modes include single-channel repeat, sequential 4-channel, and custom patterns. Each conversion is triggered by CS falling edge, and the sequencer automatically advances to the next channel after data readback. This reduces MCU overhead and ensures deterministic timing - critical for synchronized multi-sensor acquisition in avionics and radar systems using the AD7923SRU-EP.
What serial interface protocols is the AD7923SRU-EP compatible with?
The AD7923SRU-EP features a standard SPI-compatible serial interface that operates with SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP-style controllers. It uses CS (active low), SCLK, DIN (data in), and DOUT (data out) with MSB-first, 16-bit frame format: two leading zeros + two address bits + 12-bit result. The interface supports bidirectional communication, with control register writes on DIN and conversion results on DOUT - all synchronized to SCLK falling edges. No special protocol extensions or framing are required to use the AD7923SRU-EP with common microcontrollers.
Can the AD7923SRU-EP operate with different analog and digital I/O supply voltages?
Yes, the AD7923SRU-EP supports independent analog and digital supply rails: AVDD (2.7 V–5.25 V) powers the ADC core and track-and-hold, while VDRIVE (2.7 V–5.25 V) sets logic thresholds for CS, SCLK, DIN, and DOUT. This allows interfacing with 3 V hosts while AVDD runs at 5 V for wider input range (0 V to 2 × REFIN), or vice versa - eliminating level shifters. The AD7923SRU-EP specifies VIH/VIL relative to VDRIVE (e.g., VIH = 0.7 × VDRIVE), ensuring robust signal integrity across mixed-voltage systems.
