Product details
Overview
AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 14-bit, single-supply successive approximation ADC in a 6-lead SOT-23 package, operating from 2.5 V to 5.5 V with 100 kSPS throughput, 81 dB SINAD at 10 kHz, and internal VDD-referenced input range (0 V to VDD). It serves as a compact, low-power analog-to-digital converter for space-constrained battery-powered signal acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 datasheet, AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 pinout, AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 application, or AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its SOT-23 footprint, CS-initiated conversion timing, no-pipeline-delay operation, 0.5 µA shutdown current, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface.
Technical Context
The AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 implements a capacitive DAC-based successive approximation architecture with a track-and-hold amplifier supporting >7 MHz full-power bandwidth. Conversion is triggered on the falling edge of CS and synchronized to SCLK, requiring exactly 16 clock cycles with no pipeline latency.
It uses an internal reference derived directly from VDD, eliminating external reference components and enabling a 0 V to VDD unipolar input range. Power management includes normal mode (1.9 mA at 3.6 V/100 kSPS) and full power-down mode (0.3 µA at 3.6 V), controlled exclusively via CS timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit minimum; guarantees monotonic transfer function and ≥16,384 distinct output codes over full temperature range. |
| Throughput Rate | 100 kSPS maximum; achieved with 2.5 MHz SCLK and CS-controlled conversion initiation-no overhead or latency between samples. |
| SINAD | 81 dB minimum at 10 kHz input; ensures high-fidelity digitization for medium-bandwidth sensor and instrumentation signals. |
| Supply Range | 2.50 V to 5.5 V; supports direct connection to common Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V system rails without LDO regulation. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.3 µA maximum at 3.6 V; enables microamp-level system sleep states in portable devices between acquisitions. |
| Input Range | 0 V to VDD; eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry when interfacing with rail-to-rail sensors or op-amps. |
| Serial Interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP compatible; outputs 16-bit frame (2 leading zeros + 14-bit MSB-first data) on SDATA with SCLK falling-edge timing. |
Pinout & Package
AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free 6-lead SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Power supply input | Single 2.5 V–5.5 V supply powering both analog and digital sections; also serves as internal reference source. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog ground reference | Common return path for all analog circuitry; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to maintain DC accuracy and noise immunity. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Analog input channel | Single-ended input accepting 0 V to VDD signals; features 30 pF input capacitance and ±0.3 µA leakage-requires low-impedance drive for optimal THD. |
| SCLK (Pin 4) | Serial clock input | Asynchronous logic input controlling conversion timing and data clocking; accepts up to 2.5 MHz; not limited by VDD + 0.3 V. |
| SDATA (Pin 5) | Serial data output | Three-state CMOS output delivering 16-bit frame (MSB first); transitions occur on SCLK falling edge; voltage swing = 0 V to VDD. |
| CS (Pin 6) | Chip select / conversion trigger | Active-low signal initiating sampling on falling edge; determines normal vs. power-down mode based on deassertion timing relative to SCLK edges. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| First 14-bit ADC in SOT-23 | Enables ultra-compact signal chain integration-replaces larger MSOP or SOIC ADCs without sacrificing resolution or speed. |
| No pipeline delay | Delivers deterministic, sample-accurate timing: conversion completes in fixed 8 µs (16 × SCLK), critical for real-time control loops. |
| VDD-referenced architecture | Removes external reference IC and associated decoupling, reducing BOM count and layout area while maintaining 0 V to VDD dynamic range. |
| Flexible power management | CS-driven power-down allows dynamic current scaling: 1.9 mA during conversion → 0.3 µA idle, optimizing energy per sample in burst-mode systems. |
| SPI-compatible serial interface | Interoperates with standard microcontroller peripherals (e.g., STM32 SPI, MSP430 USCI) without protocol translation or glue logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 14-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7942BRMZ-REEL | 8-lead MSOP package; pseudo-differential input; 250 kSPS max; requires external reference or VDD reference configuration. | Supports differential sensor interfaces (e.g., bridge transducers); higher throughput but larger footprint and added reference design complexity. | Select AD7942BRMZ-REEL only when differential input or >100 kSPS is required-AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 offers superior size/power trade-off for single-ended use cases. |
| ADS7822U | 8-lead SOIC; 12-bit resolution; 200 kSPS; external reference required; 3.3 V only supply. | Limited to lower-resolution applications where 12-bit quantization suffices; lacks VDD-referencing and SOT-23 miniaturization. | Choose ADS7822U only if legacy 12-bit performance is acceptable and SOIC packaging aligns with existing assembly processes-AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 delivers 4× more codes in half the area. |
Compared with AD7942BRMZ-REEL and ADS7822U, AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 uniquely combines 14-bit resolution, SOT-23 size, VDD referencing, and sub-µA shutdown-making it the only option that satisfies simultaneous constraints of miniaturization, precision, and ultra-low quiescent power in portable designs.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum analog input voltage for AD7940BRJZ-REEL7?
The absolute maximum analog input voltage for AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 is VDD + 0.3 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this limit risks forward-biasing internal ESD diodes and causing irreversible damage. For safe operation, the analog input must remain within 0 V to VDD under normal conditions, with transient excursions strictly bounded by the ±0.3 V margin relative to supply rails.
Does AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 require an external reference voltage?
No, AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 does not require an external reference voltage. Its reference is derived internally from VDD, establishing a 0 V to VDD unipolar input range. This eliminates the need for external reference ICs, decoupling capacitors, and associated layout area-simplifying design and reducing BOM cost while maintaining guaranteed 14-bit linearity across temperature.
How is power-down mode entered and exited on AD7940BRJZ-REEL7?
Power-down mode on AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 is entered by pulling CS high between the 2nd and 10th falling edges of SCLK after conversion initiation. Exit requires a dummy conversion: assert CS low, apply ≥16 SCLK cycles, then read SDATA (which returns undefined data), after which the device resumes normal operation with full functionality. Total wake-up time is ≤1 µs.
What is the guaranteed integral nonlinearity (INL) specification for AD7940BRJZ-REEL7?
The guaranteed integral nonlinearity for AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 is ±1 LSB maximum when VDD is between 2.5 V and 4.096 V, and ±2 LSB maximum when VDD exceeds 4.096 V. This specification applies across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and ensures monotonic behavior and accurate end-point linearity for precision measurement applications.
Can AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 interface directly with 5 V logic microcontrollers?
Yes, AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 can interface directly with 5 V logic microcontrollers. Its digital inputs (CS, SCLK) tolerate voltages up to 7 V regardless of VDD, allowing 5 V logic levels even when VDD = 3 V. However, SDATA output remains rail-to-rail with respect to VDD-so a 3 V-powered AD7940BRJZ-REEL7 outputs 0 V–3 V logic, requiring level-shifting only if the MCU input threshold exceeds 2.0 V.
