Product details
Overview
AD7980SRMZ-EP from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 1 MSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter housed in a 10-lead MSOP package. It operates from a single 2.5 V supply with independent 1.8 V–5 V logic interface (VIO), supports pseudo-differential input (0 V to VREF), and delivers ±1.5 LSB max INL, 91 dB SINAD at 10 kHz, and no pipeline delay-enabling high-precision data acquisition in harsh environments such as aerospace telemetry systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7980SRMZ-EP datasheet, AD7980SRMZ-EP pinout, AD7980SRMZ-EP application, or AD7980SRMZ-EP equivalent, key selection criteria include its −55°C to +125°C military temperature range, 70 μW power at 10 kSPS, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain capability, and enhanced product qualification for defense and aerospace use.
Technical Context
The AD7980SRMZ-EP implements a true SAR architecture with no pipeline latency, sampling on the rising edge of CNV and delivering conversion results immediately after tCONV (max 710 ns). Its analog front-end accepts pseudo-differential inputs referenced to IN−, with full-scale range set by an externally applied 2.4 V–5.1 V reference voltage (REF).
Digital operation is decoupled via separate VIO (1.8 V–5.5 V) and VDD (2.375 V–2.625 V) supplies, enabling interoperability with mixed-voltage host systems. The serial interface supports two modes-CS mode (with busy indicator) and chain mode (for multi-ADC daisy-chaining)-both synchronized to SCK with timing validated across −55°C to +125°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage over full temperature range. |
| Throughput | 1 MSPS maximum-supports real-time capture of fast transients without undersampling in ATE or radar IF digitization. |
| INL | ±1.5 LSB maximum-ensures end-point linearity error ≤ ±0.023% of full scale (5 V ref), critical for closed-loop control calibration. |
| SINAD | 91 dB at 10 kHz (5 V ref)-translates to effective resolution >15 bits for narrowband signal analysis in communications receivers. |
| Power @ 1 MSPS | Total 7 mW (VDD 4 mW + REF 1.7 mW + VIO 1.3 mW)-enables thermally constrained deployments in sealed avionics modules. |
| Reference Range | 2.4 V to 5.1 V-allows optimization of dynamic range and SNR while maintaining compatibility with standard precision references. |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to +125°C-qualified per AQEC standards for sustained operation in engine-mounted sensors or satellite power systems. |
Pinout & Package
AD7980SRMZ-EP is packaged in a JEDEC-compliant 10-lead MSOP (RM-10), 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm footprint, 0.5 mm pitch, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement (θJA = 200°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF | Analog reference input | Accepts 2.4–5.1 V external reference; requires local 10 µF decoupling to maintain <1.5 LSB INL over temperature. |
| VDD | Analog power supply | 2.375–2.625 V only; powers core ADC and internal bias-must be filtered independently from digital rails. |
| IN+, IN− | Pseudo-differential analog input pair | IN+ accepts 0–VREF signal; IN− serves as ground sense-rejects common-mode noise up to 60 dB at 100 kHz. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Single-point connection point for REF, IN−, and VDD return; must be isolated from digital ground to avoid coupling errors. |
| CNV | Convert/start command input | Rising edge initiates sampling; also selects interface mode (CS vs. chain) based on SDI state at edge. |
| SDO | Serial data output | 16-bit straight-binary output synchronized to SCK falling edge; tri-states when CNV/SDI high in CS mode. |
| SCK | Serial clock input | Drives data shift-out; minimum period 10.5 ns (VIO > 4.5 V); timing validated across full military temperature range. |
| SDI | Serial data input / mode select | Configures interface mode on CNV rising edge; in chain mode, passes prior ADC's data with 16-cycle delay. |
| VIO | Digital I/O supply | 1.8–5.5 V logic interface supply-enables direct connection to FPGA I/O banks or microcontroller GPIO without level shifters. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Conversion result available immediately post-tCONV (≤710 ns), enabling deterministic latency-critical control loops. |
| Daisy-chain capability | Supports synchronous readout of multiple AD7980SRMZ-EP devices on one SDO line-reduces FPGA pin count in multi-channel DAQ systems. |
| Independent VIO supply | 1.8 V–5 V logic interface allows seamless integration with heterogeneous SoCs, FPGAs, or MCUs without voltage translation. |
| Enhanced product qualification | Controlled manufacturing baseline (single fab/assembly site), AQEC compliance, and full military temp validation for defense/aerospace deployment. |
| Low energy per conversion | 7.0 nJ/sample at 1 MSPS-optimizes battery life in portable test equipment and remote sensor nodes. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Test Equipment | Avionics Sensor Signal Conditioning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7982BRMZ-REEL7 | Same 16-bit/1 MSPS SAR architecture but commercial grade (−40°C to +85°C); no EP qualification or AQEC support. | Lacks military temp range and controlled baseline-unsuitable for aerospace or extended-life industrial deployments. | Select only for cost-sensitive terrestrial applications where full EP traceability and extended temperature are not required. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | Texas Instruments 16-bit, 1 MSPS SAR ADC with SPI interface; 1.8 V supply only; ±1.25 LSB INL; no VIO rail separation. | Requires external level-shifting for 3 V/5 V hosts; lacks daisy-chain mode and military temp rating. | Consider only if system uses exclusively 1.8 V logic and does not require multi-ADC synchronization or extended temperature operation. |
Compared with AD7982BRMZ-REEL7 and ADS8860IDRCT, the AD7980SRMZ-EP uniquely combines military-grade temperature operation, dual-supply flexibility (VDD/VIO), daisy-chain capability, and AQEC-managed lifecycle-making it the sole option for defense-critical signal acquisition where reliability and supply continuity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum reference voltage for AD7980SRMZ-EP?
The absolute maximum reference voltage for AD7980SRMZ-EP is 5.1 V, with a recommended operating range of 2.4 V to 5.1 V. Exceeding 5.1 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings (Table 5), and operation below 2.4 V degrades SNR and increases INL beyond specified limits. The AD7980SRMZ-EP reference input is not buffered, so external reference stability and low output impedance are essential to maintain ±1.5 LSB INL performance.
Does AD7980SRMZ-EP support daisy-chain configuration with other ADCs?
Yes, AD7980SRMZ-EP supports daisy-chain configuration via its SDI and SDO pins in chain mode. When SDI is low at the CNV rising edge, the device enters chain mode: the SDI input passes through to SDO after a fixed 16-SCK-cycle delay, allowing multiple AD7980SRMZ-EP units to share one serial bus. This eliminates the need for individual chip-select lines and simplifies FPGA resource usage in multi-channel systems.
What is the minimum SCK period supported by AD7980SRMZ-EP at 125°C?
At +125°C, AD7980SRMZ-EP requires VIO ≥ 3.3 V and supports a minimum SCK period of 13 ns (76.9 MHz), per Table 4 timing specifications. This is validated across the full −55°C to +125°C range. Using VIO < 3.3 V above 85°C violates the datasheet's operating conditions and may cause data corruption or interface lockup-so VIO must be ≥3.3 V for reliable 1 MSPS operation at maximum temperature.
Can AD7980SRMZ-EP operate with a 1.8 V VIO supply while maintaining 1 MSPS throughput?
No-AD7980SRMZ-EP cannot maintain 1 MSPS throughput with 1.8 V VIO. Per Table 4, 1 MSPS operation requires VIO ≥ 2.3 V up to +85°C and VIO ≥ 3.3 V above +85°C. At 1.8 V, the device supports only lower throughput modes (e.g., 10 kSPS), and attempting 1 MSPS will violate timing margins, risking invalid data or interface failure. The AD7980SRMZ-EP's VIO range is 1.8 V–5.5 V, but speed grade is thermally gated.
Is the AD7980SRMZ-EP pin-compatible with the commercial AD7980BRMZ?
Yes, AD7980SRMZ-EP is pin-compatible with AD7980BRMZ-the same 10-lead MSOP (RM-10) package, identical pinout (REF, VDD, IN+, IN−, GND, CNV, SDO, SCK, SDI, VIO), and matching footprint. However, AD7980SRMZ-EP adds enhanced product features including military temperature range, AQEC qualification, and controlled manufacturing baseline-not present in the commercial variant.
