Product details
Overview
AD7984BRMZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is an 18-bit, 1.33 MSPS successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with true differential input, ±VREF range, zero-latency architecture, and 99.7 dB dynamic range at 5 V reference-designed for high-precision data acquisition in automated test equipment and medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7984BRMZ-RL7 datasheet, AD7984BRMZ-RL7 pinout, AD7984BRMZ-RL7 application, or AD7984BRMZ-RL7 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed package mapping (10-lead MSOP), real-world use scenarios, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for precision SAR ADC selection.
Technical Context
The AD7984BRMZ-RL7 implements a charge redistribution capacitive DAC with dual 18-bit binary-weighted capacitor arrays, enabling true differential sampling without pipeline delay. Its on-chip track-and-hold ensures zero latency and supports full 1.33 MSPS throughput with 250 ns acquisition time and 300–500 ns conversion time.
It features a SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface with daisy-chain capability via SDI/SDO, busy indicator support, and independent VIO supply (1.71–5.5 V) for seamless interfacing with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, or 5 V logic-while maintaining ±2.25 LSB INL and 98.5 dB SNR at 1 kHz with 5 V reference.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit with no missing codes-guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full-scale range. |
| Throughput Rate | 1.33 MSPS at VIO > 2.3 V-enables real-time capture of fast transients in high-speed DAQ systems. |
| INL | ±2.25 LSB max-ensures accurate end-point linearity critical for calibration-sensitive applications like medical imaging. |
| Dynamic Range | 99.7 dB at VREF = 5 V-supports detection of low-amplitude signals buried in noise, e.g., sensor outputs in industrial monitoring. |
| Power Dissipation | 10.5 mW total at 1.33 MSPS-achieves high performance with ultra-low power, ideal for thermally constrained embedded systems. |
| Analog Input Range | True differential ±VREF (2.9–5.1 V)-allows direct connection to bipolar signal sources without external level-shifting circuitry. |
| Aperture Delay | 2 ns-minimizes sampling uncertainty for high-frequency signal fidelity up to 10 MHz input bandwidth. |
Pinout & Package
The AD7984BRMZ-RL7 is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP (RM-10) with exposed paddle, rated for −40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 1 is REF; pin 5 is GND; pin 6 is CNV (convert trigger); pins 7–9 are SDO/SCK/SDI for SPI-compatible serial interface; pin 10 is VIO for independent digital I/O supply.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF (Pin 1) | Analog reference input | Accepts 2.9–5.1 V external reference; requires local 10 µF decoupling to GND for stable full-scale accuracy. |
| VDD (Pin 2) | Analog power supply | 2.375–2.625 V single supply; powers internal SAR core and track-and-hold-no separate AVDD/DVDD required. |
| IN+ / IN− (Pins 3, 4) | Differential analog inputs | Accept true differential voltage swing up to ±VREF; common-mode range centered at VREF × 0.5 ± 2.5%. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog/digital ground | Single ground reference for all supplies and analog inputs-requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| CNV (Pin 6) | Convert trigger & mode select | Rising edge initiates conversion; logic state at CNV edge selects CS mode (SDI high) or chain mode (SDI low). |
| SDO (Pin 7) | Serial data output | 18-bit twos-complement result synchronized to SCK falling edge; tri-state when CNV or SDI is high in CS mode. |
| SCK (Pin 8) | Serial clock input | Accepts 10.5–22 ns period depending on VIO; controls data shift-out timing-no clock required for internal conversion. |
| SDI (Pin 9) | Serial data input / mode control | Determines interface mode on CNV rising edge; enables daisy-chain configuration by passing upstream data with 18-cycle delay. |
| VIO (Pin 10) | Digital I/O supply | 1.71–5.5 V independent supply-sets logic thresholds for all digital pins, enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-latency architecture | Eliminates pipeline delay-conversion result available immediately after tCONV (≤500 ns), essential for closed-loop control timing. |
| Proprietary SPI-compatible interface | Supports 3-wire CS mode and 4-wire chain mode with busy indicator-reduces GPIO count and simplifies multi-ADC synchronization. |
| Independent VIO supply | Enables direct interfacing with 1.8 V FPGA I/O banks or 5 V microcontroller peripherals without level shifters or voltage translation. |
| Low power at high speed | 10.5 mW total at 1.33 MSPS (7.9 nJ/conversion)-delivers industry-leading energy efficiency for battery-powered or fanless DAQ systems. |
| Wide reference voltage range | 2.9–5.1 V external REF-permits optimization of dynamic range and SNR for specific sensor output ranges (e.g., ±10 V, ±5 V). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 18-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7982BRMZ | Pin-for-pin compatible; identical 18-bit/1.33 MSPS spec but lower dynamic range (98.5 dB vs. 99.7 dB) and higher INL (±2.5 LSB vs. ±2.25 LSB). | Acceptable where 1.2 dB SNR margin and 0.25 LSB linearity tolerance are acceptable-e.g., non-critical industrial logging. | Select AD7982BRMZ only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for highest linearity and dynamic range in metrology-grade systems. |
| AD4003BRMZ | 18-bit, 1 MSPS; lower power (7.5 mW), wider input range (±VREF up to ±5.5 V), but slower throughput and no daisy-chain capability. | Better suited for low-power, wide-input-range applications where 330 kSPS headroom is acceptable-e.g., portable multimeters. | Choose AD4003BRMZ when prioritizing ultra-low power and extended analog range over maximum speed and multi-ADC synchronization. |
Compared with AD7982BRMZ and AD4003BRMZ, the AD7984BRMZ-RL7 uniquely combines 1.33 MSPS throughput, 99.7 dB dynamic range, and daisy-chain support-making it optimal for high-channel-count, high-fidelity DAQ where timing determinism and signal integrity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported reference voltage for AD7984BRMZ-RL7?
The AD7984BRMZ-RL7 accepts an external reference voltage from 2.9 V to 5.1 V. Operation at 5.0 V yields optimal dynamic range (99.7 dB) and SNR (98.5 dB), while lower references reduce full-scale range proportionally. The REF pin must be decoupled with a 10 µF ceramic capacitor to GND per the datasheet layout guidelines.
Does AD7984BRMZ-RL7 require an external clock for conversion?
No, the AD7984BRMZ-RL7 contains an on-board conversion clock and does not require an external clock for the SAR process. The SCK signal is used solely for serial data readout and has no effect on conversion timing. Conversion is triggered by the CNV rising edge, and results are available within 300–500 ns regardless of SCK frequency.
Can AD7984BRMZ-RL7 interface directly with a 1.8 V FPGA I/O bank?
Yes, the AD7984BRMZ-RL7 supports direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic through its dedicated VIO pin (Pin 10). When VIO = 1.8 V, digital inputs (CNV, SDI, SCK) accept standard 1.8 V logic levels, and SDO outputs are compatible with 1.8 V receivers-eliminating need for external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems.
What is the significance of the "zero latency" architecture in AD7984BRMZ-RL7?
Zero latency means the AD7984BRMZ-RL7 produces a valid conversion result immediately after completion of the conversion cycle (≤500 ns), with no pipeline delay or buffering. This enables deterministic, cycle-accurate sampling-critical for real-time control loops, high-speed transient capture, and time-aligned multi-channel acquisition where delayed data would compromise system timing integrity.
How does the daisy-chain mode work on AD7984BRMZ-RL7?
In daisy-chain mode (enabled by pulling SDI low at CNV rising edge), multiple AD7984BRMZ-RL7 devices share one SDO line. Each device passes upstream conversion data with a fixed 18-cycle delay, allowing sequential readout of N devices using a single SCK and SDO connection. This reduces PCB routing complexity and GPIO usage in high-channel-density systems without sacrificing throughput.
