Product details
Overview
AD7980ARMZRL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 1 MSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with pseudo-differential input, zero-latency architecture, ±1.25 LSB maximum INL, 91.5 dB SNR at 10 kHz, and operation from −40°C to +125°C - used in high-precision data acquisition for medical instruments and automated test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AD7980ARMZRL7 datasheet, AD7980ARMZRL7 pinout, AD7980ARMZRL7 application, or AD7980ARMZRL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, real-world interface timing constraints, thermal resistance values (θJA = 200°C/W), and validated alternative options for industrial-grade signal chain design.
Technical Context
The AD7980ARMZRL7 employs a true SAR architecture with no pipeline delay, enabling immediate availability of conversion results after CNV rising edge - critical for deterministic control loops. Its pseudo-differential input accepts 0 V to VREF (2.4 V–5.1 V) with respect to IN−, and supports external reference independence from VDD.
It features a SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain capability, busy indicator option, and dual-supply digital I/O (VIO = 1.71 V–5.5 V) decoupled from analog supply (VDD = 2.375 V–2.625 V), ensuring robust noise isolation in mixed-signal systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full-scale fidelity across temperature. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS at VIO ≥ 3.3 V and TA ≤ 85°C; drops to 833 kSPS above 85°C - defines real-time sampling ceiling in thermal-limited environments. |
| INL (Max) | ±1.25 LSB at VREF = 5 V - limits end-point error to ±76.3 µV, enabling <0.002% full-scale accuracy in calibration-critical systems. |
| SNR | 91.5 dB at fIN = 10 kHz, VREF = 5 V - supports >15-bit effective resolution for low-noise sensor interfacing. |
| Power Dissipation | 7 mW total at 1 MSPS (VDD + VIO + REF) - enables battery-operated or thermally constrained DAQ modules without forced cooling. |
| Aperture Delay | 2.0 ns - minimizes sampling uncertainty for high-frequency signal capture up to 10 MHz input bandwidth. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and downhole instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
AD7980ARMZRL7 is housed in a 10-lead MSOP (RM-10) package with exposed pad (EPAD), θJA = 200°C/W, θJC = 44°C/W. Pin 1 is REF; pin 5 is GND; pin 6 is CNV; pin 10 is VIO. The EPAD must be connected to GND for optimal thermal performance but is not required for electrical functionality.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF (Pin 1) | Analog Reference Input | Accepts 2.4 V–5.1 V external reference; requires local 10 µF decoupling - sets full-scale range independently of VDD. |
| VDD (Pin 2) | Analog Power Supply | 2.375 V–2.625 V single supply; powers core ADC and sampling circuitry - separates analog domain from digital I/O. |
| IN+ / IN− (Pins 3/4) | Pseudo-Differential Analog Inputs | IN+ accepts 0 V to VREF relative to IN−; IN− serves as ground sense - rejects common-mode noise while simplifying driver design. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog Ground Return | Primary analog ground connection; must be star-connected to REF and VDD decoupling - prevents ground bounce in high-speed conversions. |
| CNV (Pin 6) | Convert Control Input | Rising edge initiates sampling; selects CS or Chain mode based on SDI state - enables synchronous multi-ADC acquisition or daisy-chained readout. |
| SDO (Pin 7) | Serial Data Output | 16-bit straight-binary output synchronized to SCK; tri-state when CNV/SDI high in CS mode - allows shared bus topology. |
| SCK (Pin 8) | Serial Clock Input | Drives data shift-out; minimum period 10.5 ns (VIO > 4.5 V) - determines maximum interface speed and timing margin. |
| SDI (Pin 9) | Serial Data Input | Mode selection (CS vs. Chain) and daisy-chain data input - eliminates need for separate chip-select lines in multi-ADC systems. |
| VIO (Pin 10) | Digital I/O Supply | 1.71 V–5.5 V logic interface supply - permits direct connection to 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V host processors without level shifters. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-latency architecture | Conversion result available immediately after tCONV (≤710 ns); eliminates pipeline delay for closed-loop feedback timing. |
| Proprietary SPI-compatible interface | Supports 3-wire CS mode, 4-wire CS mode, and daisy-chain mode - reduces PCB routing complexity and GPIO count in multi-channel systems. |
| Wide VIO voltage range | Operates with 1.71 V–5.5 V digital supply - enables direct interfacing to ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers or legacy 5 V FPGAs. |
| Low power scaling | 70 µW at 10 kSPS; 7 mW at 1 MSPS - adapts energy consumption linearly to throughput, ideal for duty-cycled sensing applications. |
| High-temperature grade | Specified from −40°C to +125°C with guaranteed INL, SNR, and timing - suitable for engine control units and industrial PLCs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed precision SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7988-5ACPZ-RL7 | 16-bit, 500 kSPS, lower power (3.5 mW), same MSOP-10 package, but reduced throughput and dynamic range (87 dB DR). | Better suited for lower-bandwidth, ultra-low-power portable sensors where 1 MSPS is unnecessary. | Select when system sampling rate ≤500 kSPS and thermal/power budget is tighter than performance requirements. |
| AD4003BRMZ | 16-bit, 1 MSPS, pseudo-differential, but with enhanced 94 dB SNR, 100 dB SFDR, and integrated reference buffer - larger 10-lead LFCSP package. | Preferred for metrology-grade measurements demanding higher spurious-free dynamic range and lower THD. | Choose when SNR >92 dB and SFDR >105 dB are mandatory, and board space allows LFCSP footprint. |
Compared with AD7980ARMZRL7, AD7988-5ACPZ-RL7 trades speed for lower power, while AD4003BRMZ improves AC performance at the cost of higher BOM cost and different thermal profile - both require layout review due to non-pin-compatible footprints.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended reference voltage for AD7980ARMZRL7?
The AD7980ARMZRL7 supports an external reference voltage range of 2.4 V to 5.1 V. At 5.0 V, it achieves optimal dynamic performance: 91.5 dB SNR, 92 dB dynamic range, and ±1.25 LSB INL. Operating above 5.1 V violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage to the REF pin.
Does AD7980ARMZRL7 require an external driver amplifier for its analog inputs?
AD7980ARMZRL7 does not mandate an external driver amplifier for DC or low-frequency signals, as its input leakage is only 1 nA and input impedance is high. However, for AC signals above 100 kHz or driving from high-impedance sources, Analog Devices recommends using a low-output-impedance amplifier like the ADA4897-1 to maintain specified THD and SNR performance.
Can AD7980ARMZRL7 operate with VIO = 1.8 V while maintaining 1 MSPS throughput?
No. At VIO = 1.8 V, AD7980ARMZRL7 is limited to 833 kSPS across the full temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). To sustain 1 MSPS, VIO must be ≥3.3 V and ambient temperature must remain ≤85°C, per Table 4 timing specifications in the Rev. G datasheet.
Is the exposed pad (EPAD) on AD7980ARMZRL7 electrically functional or thermal-only?
The exposed pad on AD7980ARMZRL7 is thermally functional and must be soldered to a GND plane to achieve the specified θJA = 200°C/W. While the datasheet states this connection is "not required to meet electrical performances," omitting it degrades thermal performance and risks junction temperature exceedance at full throughput and high ambient temperatures.
How does the daisy-chain mode function on AD7980ARMZRL7, and what is the latency penalty?
In daisy-chain mode, AD7980ARMZRL7 outputs its 16-bit result on SDO with a fixed 16-cycle delay after the CNV rising edge. When multiple AD7980ARMZRL7 devices are chained, each subsequent device shifts its data onto the same SDO line, requiring 16 × N clock cycles to read N devices - introducing deterministic latency but eliminating CS routing overhead.
