Product details
Overview
AD7980ACPZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 1 MSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with pseudo-differential input, 0 V to VREF range (2.5 V–5 V), ±0.6 LSB typical INL, 91.5 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and zero-latency architecture-used in high-precision data acquisition systems requiring deterministic timing and minimal power.
For engineers reviewing the AD7980ACPZ-RL7 datasheet, AD7980ACPZ-RL7 pinout, AD7980ACPZ-RL7 application, or AD7980ACPZ-RL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world interface behavior, thermal and timing constraints for 125°C operation, and validated alternative options for precision SAR ADC selection.
Technical Context
The AD7980ACPZ-RL7 implements a single-supply, 2.5 V VDD SAR architecture with external reference scaling (2.4 V–5.1 V), enabling flexible full-scale adjustment without supply dependency. Its acquisition phase relies on a switched-capacitor network referenced to IN−, with 290 ns acquisition time and 500 ns conversion latency.
It supports SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible 3- or 4-wire serial interfaces via CNV, SCK, SDI, and SDO, with daisy-chain capability and optional busy indicator. Digital I/O operates independently at 1.71 V–5.5 V (VIO), decoupling logic voltage from analog supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit-guarantees no missing codes across full temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS at VIO ≥ 3.3 V and TA ≤ 85°C-enables real-time sampling of fast transients in industrial control loops. |
| INL (Max) | ±1.25 LSB at VREF = 5 V-limits end-point error to ±76.3 µV, critical for calibrated sensor front-ends. |
| SNR | 91.5 dB at fIN = 10 kHz, VREF = 5 V-supports >15-bit effective resolution for low-noise signal chains. |
| Power Dissipation | 7 mW total at 1 MSPS (B grade)-enables high-speed acquisition in thermally constrained embedded modules. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to VREF (2.5 V–5 V), pseudo-differential-simplifies anti-aliasing filter design by eliminating common-mode rejection requirements. |
| Aperture Delay | 2.0 ns-minimizes sampling jitter impact on high-frequency signal fidelity (e.g., >100 kHz sinusoids). |
Pinout & Package
AD7980ACPZ-RL7 is housed in a 10-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP package with exposed pad (EPAD) that must be connected to GND for thermal performance but is not required for electrical functionality.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF | Analog reference input | Accepts 2.4 V–5.1 V external reference; requires local 10 µF decoupling for stable full-scale accuracy. |
| VDD | Analog power supply | 2.375 V–2.625 V single supply; powers internal SAR core and sampling capacitor array. |
| IN+, IN− | Pseudo-differential analog inputs | IN+ accepts 0 V to VREF relative to IN−; IN− serves as ground sense point-not tied to system GND. |
| GND | Power ground | Common return for VDD and REF; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into analog path. |
| CNV | Convert trigger / interface mode select | Rising edge initiates conversion; logic level at CNV rising edge selects CS or chain mode. |
| SDO | Serial data output | Outputs 16-bit straight-binary result synchronized to SCK; tri-stated when CNV/SDI high in CS mode. |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Drives data shift-out; minimum period 10.5 ns (VIO > 4.5 V); defines maximum throughput in chain mode. |
| SDI | Serial data input / mode control | Low at CNV rising edge enables daisy-chain; high enables CS mode with optional busy indication. |
| VIO | Digital I/O supply | 1.71 V–5.5 V independent logic rail-allows direct interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V microcontrollers. |
| EPAD | Exposed thermal pad | Must be soldered to PCB GND plane to achieve θJA = 44°C/W; improves thermal stability at 125°C ambient. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-latency architecture | Conversion result available immediately after tCONV (≤710 ns), eliminating pipeline delay in closed-loop feedback systems. |
| Proprietary SPI-compatible interface | Supports 3-wire CS mode, 4-wire CS mode, and daisy-chain mode-reduces GPIO count and PCB routing complexity in multi-channel DAQ. |
| Wide VIO voltage range | 1.71 V–5.5 V digital interface-enables direct connection to mixed-voltage SoCs without level shifters. |
| High dynamic range | 92 dB at VREF = 5 V-preserves small-signal integrity in wide-dynamic-range applications like medical ECG amplifiers. |
| Low power scaling | 70 µW at 10 kSPS-extends battery life in portable instrumentation while maintaining 16-bit linearity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7988-5ACPZ-RL7 | 500 kSPS max throughput, lower power (3.5 mW at 500 kSPS), same 10-lead LFCSP package and pinout. | Better suited for lower-bandwidth, ultra-low-power portable instruments where 1 MSPS is unnecessary. | Select AD7988-5ACPZ-RL7 when system sampling rate ≤500 kSPS and thermal budget is tighter than AD7980ACPZ-RL7's 7 mW. |
| AD4003BRMZ-RL7 | 1 MSPS, 16-bit, but with true differential input, higher SNR (95 dB), and integrated reference buffer; uses 10-lead MSOP package. | Required where common-mode noise rejection is essential (e.g., motor phase current sensing with high dv/dt). | Choose AD4003BRMZ-RL7 only if differential input topology and reference buffering are mandatory-note non-pin-compatible MSOP footprint. |
Compared with AD7980ACPZ-RL7, AD7988-5ACPZ-RL7 trades speed for lower power and identical layout, while AD4003BRMZ-RL7 adds differential input and reference buffering at the cost of package incompatibility and higher BOM complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for AD7980ACPZ-RL7?
The AD7980ACPZ-RL7 is fully specified from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Its LFCSP package with EPAD-to-GND connection achieves θJC = 44°C/W, enabling reliable operation at maximum junction temperature (150°C) under continuous 1 MSPS throughput in sealed enclosures.
Does AD7980ACPZ-RL7 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, AD7980ACPZ-RL7 requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin, which must be between 2.4 V and 5.1 V. The device does not include an internal reference; accuracy and noise performance directly depend on the stability and low-noise characteristics of the external reference source.
Can AD7980ACPZ-RL7 interface directly with a 1.8 V microcontroller?
Yes, AD7980ACPZ-RL7 supports 1.8 V logic levels via its independent VIO supply pin (1.71 V–5.5 V). When VIO = 1.8 V, digital inputs (CNV, SCK, SDI) accept standard 1.8 V logic thresholds, and SDO outputs are compatible with 1.8 V receivers-no level-shifting circuitry is needed.
What is the purpose of the IN− pin on AD7980ACPZ-RL7?
The IN− pin on AD7980ACPZ-RL7 serves as the ground sense reference for the pseudo-differential input structure. It is not tied to system GND but rather connected to the analog ground plane or remote sense point near the signal source to reject local ground bounce and improve common-mode rejection during acquisition.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on AD7980ACPZ-RL7?
In daisy-chain mode, AD7980ACPZ-RL7 uses SDI as both mode selector (low at CNV rising edge) and data input. Conversion results from multiple AD7980ACPZ-RL7 devices are serialized onto a single SDO line, with each device delaying its output by 16 SCK cycles-enabling synchronized multi-channel sampling with minimal SPI bus overhead.
