Product details
Overview
AD7952BSTZ from Analog Devices is a 14-bit, 1 MSPS differential successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with programmable input ranges (±5 V, ±10 V, 0–5 V, 0–10 V), iCMOS® process technology, and dual parallel/serial (SPI-compatible) interface. It features no pipeline delay, internal 5 V reference (3 ppm/°C drift), and operates from −40°C to +85°C for high-speed data acquisition in precision instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7952BSTZ datasheet, AD7952BSTZ pinout, AD7952BSTZ application, or AD7952BSTZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its warp/normal/impulse mode throughput scaling (1 MSPS / 800 kSPS / 670 kSPS), differential input architecture with 75 dB CMRR at 100 kHz, 85 dB SNR at 2 kHz, and 48-lead LQFP/LFCSP package compatibility with industrial signal chain designs.
Technical Context
The AD7952BSTZ implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with integrated conversion clock, error correction, and configurable analog front-end. Its hardware- or software-controlled input range selection (via BIPOLAR/TEN pins or serial configuration port) supports four differential voltage spans without external gain switching.
Three distinct sampling modes-warp (1 μs cycle), normal (1.25 μs), and impulse (1.49 μs)-enable dynamic power scaling from 235 mW at 1 MSPS down to 10 mW at 1 kSPS. The device uses separate analog (AVDD/AGND), digital (DVDD/DGND), and I/O (OVDD/OGND) supply domains with dedicated high-voltage rails (VCC = +15 V, VEE = −15 V) for full-scale bipolar input handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and deterministic code transitions across full temperature range. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS (warp mode); enables real-time capture of signals up to 45 MHz −3 dB input bandwidth. |
| INL Error | ±1 LSB max (±61 ppm of FSR) - ensures accurate amplitude representation in closed-loop control and calibration systems. |
| SNR | 85 dB @ 2 kHz - supports >13.5 ENOB for high-fidelity spectral analysis and medical waveform digitization. |
| Reference Drift | ±3 ppm/°C (internal 5 V ref) - eliminates need for external ovenized reference in portable test equipment. |
| Power Dissipation | 235 mW @ 1 MSPS; drops to 10 mW @ 1 kSPS - allows thermal management in dense PCB layouts without forced air. |
| Aperture Jitter | 5 ps rms - limits sampling uncertainty to <0.03° phase error at 100 kHz input, critical for coherent sampling. |
Pinout & Package
AD7952BSTZ is available in two RoHS-compliant packages: 48-lead LQFP (7 mm × 7 mm) and 48-lead LFCSP (7 mm × 7 mm, exposed pad). Both share identical pinout and thermal performance per Analog Devices' datasheet Rev. A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| IN+, IN− | Differential Analog Inputs | High-impedance, fully differential inputs supporting ±10 V span; require matched 180° out-of-phase drive for optimal CMRR. |
| REF | Reference Input/Output | Configurable as 5 V internal reference output (PDREF/PDBUF = low) or external reference input (up to AVDD). |
| SER/PAR | Interface Mode Select | Low = parallel 14-bit bus; high = serial SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible interface using shared D[13:0] pins. |
| WARP, IMPULSE, TEN, BIPOLAR | Hardware Configuration Inputs | Set input range (0–5 V, 0–10 V, ±5 V, ±10 V) and sampling mode (warp/normal/impulse) without serial communication. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Input Ranges | Four differential spans (±10 V, ±5 V, 0–10 V, 0–5 V) selectable via hardware pins or serial register - eliminates external level-shifting circuitry. |
| No Pipeline Delay | SAR architecture delivers first valid conversion result immediately after BUSY falls - essential for deterministic latency in real-time control loops. |
| Multi-Supply Domain Isolation | Separate AVDD/AGND (analog), DVDD/DGND (core logic), OVDD/OGND (I/O), and VCC/VEE (high-voltage analog) rails - prevents digital noise coupling into sensitive analog paths. |
| Internal Reference w/ TEMP Output | 5 V reference with ±3 ppm/°C drift and on-chip temperature sensor (311 mV @ 25°C, 1 mV/°C) - enables self-calibration and ambient compensation without external sensors. |
| Power-Down Scalability | 10 μW standby current and dynamic power scaling across three throughput modes - extends battery life in portable ATE and field instruments. |

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the AD7952BSTZ support, and how are they selected?
The AD7952BSTZ supports four differential input ranges: 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V. Selection is achieved either through hardware pins (BIPOLAR and TEN) or via the serial configuration port. In hardware mode, BIPOLAR and TEN logic levels directly determine the range per Table 1 in the datasheet; in software mode, the same ranges are programmed into the configuration register. This dual-mode flexibility allows seamless integration into both fixed-function and reconfigurable systems without redesigning the analog front-end.
Does the AD7952BSTZ require an external reference, or does it include an internal one?
The AD7952BSTZ includes a 5 V internal reference with ±3 ppm/°C temperature drift and 10 ms turn-on settling time (with 22 μF capacitor). When PDREF and PDBUF are driven low, the internal reference and buffer are enabled, and the REF pin outputs 5 V. Alternatively, with PDREF and PDBUF high, the device accepts an external reference between 4.75 V and AVDD + 0.1 V. This dual-reference capability makes AD7952BSTZ suitable for applications demanding either simplicity (internal ref) or ultimate accuracy (external ultra-low-drift ref).
What are the differences between warp, normal, and impulse modes in the AD7952BSTZ?
Warp mode achieves 1 MSPS throughput with 1 μs conversion cycle and is optimized for maximum speed. Normal mode delivers 800 kSPS with 1.25 μs cycle and supports asynchronous operation for flexible timing alignment. Impulse mode scales power with throughput at 670 kSPS (1.49 μs cycle), reducing dissipation to ~150 mW - ideal for battery-powered or thermally constrained applications. All modes retain full 14-bit performance and use the same CNVST-triggered sampling mechanism.
Can the AD7952BSTZ interface with both parallel and serial host processors?
Yes, the AD7952BSTZ supports both parallel and serial interfaces via the SER/PAR pin. When SER/PAR = low, it operates in parallel mode with 14-bit data output on D[13:0], controlled by RD, CS, and BUSY. When SER/PAR = high, it switches to serial mode compatible with SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and DSP interfaces - using SDOUT, SDCLK, SYNC, and SCIN/SCCLK pins. The same physical pins (D[13:0]) serve dual roles, minimizing board footprint while maximizing system integration flexibility.
What package options are available for the AD7952BSTZ, and are they pin-compatible?
The AD7952BSTZ is offered in two mechanically and electrically identical 48-lead packages: LQFP (BSTZ suffix) and LFCSP (BCPZ suffix). Both share identical pinout, thermal characteristics, and electrical specifications per Analog Devices' datasheet Rev. A. The LFCSP variant includes an exposed pad connected to VEE for improved thermal performance, while the LQFP uses standard leadframe construction. Designers may select based on thermal requirements and assembly capabilities without modifying layout or firmware.
