Product details
Overview
AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, pseudo-differential successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with 500 kSPS throughput, 91.5 dB SNR at 10 kHz input, ±1.25 LSB INL max, and single 2.5 V supply operation. It features zero-latency architecture, SPI-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE™-/DSP-compatible serial interface, and operates across −40°C to +125°C for high-precision data acquisition in harsh environments.
For engineers reviewing the AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 datasheet, AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 pinout, AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 application, or AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include throughput vs. power trade-off (3.5 mW total at 500 kSPS), reference voltage flexibility (2.4 V–5.1 V), daisy-chain capability, and LFCSP-10 thermal performance (θJC = 15°C/W).
Technical Context
The AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 implements a true SAR conversion architecture with internal track-and-hold, sampling on the rising edge of CNV. Its zero-latency design ensures immediate availability of conversion results without pipeline delay, critical for real-time control loops.
It supports two interface modes-CS mode (3- or 4-wire) and chain mode-via SDI logic level at CNV edge, enabling flexible integration with microcontrollers, DSPs, or multi-ADC systems. The separate VIO supply (1.71 V–5.5 V) allows interoperability with 1.8 V/2.5 V/3 V/5 V logic families without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage over temperature. |
| Throughput | 500 kSPS - enables high-speed sampling of transient signals in automated test equipment and machine monitoring. |
| SNR | 91.5 dB at fIN = 10 kHz, VREF = 5 V - supports >15 ENOB for precision DC and low-frequency AC measurements. |
| INL | ±1.25 LSB maximum - ensures <0.002% gain error contribution in closed-loop sensor feedback systems. |
| Power Dissipation | 3.5 mW total at 500 kSPS - achieves 7.0 nJ/conversion efficiency for battery-sensitive portable instrumentation. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to VREF (2.4 V–5.1 V) pseudo-differential - simplifies signal conditioning with single-ended driver amplifiers. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor control, and downhole sensing. |
Pinout & Package
AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 is housed in a 10-lead 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP (CP-10-9) package with exposed pad connected to GND for thermal and noise performance. Package thermal resistance is θJA = 80°C/W and θJC = 15°C/W under JEDEC 2S2P PCB conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 REF | Analog reference input | Accepts external 2.4 V–5.1 V reference; requires local 10 µF decoupling to GND for stability and noise rejection. |
| 2 VDD | Analog power supply | 2.375 V–2.625 V single supply; powers core ADC and internal reference buffer. |
| 3 IN+ | Pseudo-differential analog input | Input voltage measured relative to IN−; range = 0 V to VREF; high-impedance during acquisition (1 nA leakage). |
| 4 IN− | Analog ground sense | Provides remote sensing point for analog ground return; minimizes common-mode error in noisy environments. |
| 5 GND | Power ground | Common return for VDD, REF, and exposed pad; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 6 CNV | Convert trigger / interface mode select | Rising edge initiates sampling; logic level on SDI at CNV edge selects CS or chain mode for serial interface configuration. |
| 7 SDO | Serial data output | 16-bit straight-binary output synchronized to SCK falling edge; tri-state when CNV high in CS mode. |
| 8 SCK | Serial clock input | Supports up to 50 MHz SCK (VIO > 4.5 V); timing validated down to 1.71 V logic for ultra-low-voltage host interfaces. |
| 9 SDI | Serial data input / mode control | Determines interface mode (CS vs. chain); in chain mode, passes upstream data with 16-cycle delay for daisy-chaining. |
| 10 VIO | Digital I/O power supply | Independent 1.71 V–5.5 V supply enables direct interfacing with mixed-voltage digital systems without level translation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-latency architecture | Conversion result available immediately after tCONV (1.2 μs for C grade); eliminates pipeline delay in closed-loop control. |
| Daisy-chain serial interface | SDI input enables cascading multiple AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 devices on one SDO line, reducing host GPIO count and PCB routing complexity. |
| Wide reference voltage range | VREF = 2.4 V–5.1 V allows optimization of dynamic range and SNR for varying sensor output levels without external scaling. |
| Low power at high speed | 3.5 mW total at 500 kSPS and 70 µW at 10 kSPS enables adaptive power management in portable or energy-constrained systems. |
| High-temperature operation | Specified performance from −40°C to +125°C with <±0.35 ppm/°C gain drift supports deployment in engine control units and industrial drives. |

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended reference voltage for AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7?
The AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 supports an external reference voltage range of 2.4 V to 5.1 V. Operation at 5.0 V maximizes SNR (91.5 dB) and dynamic range (92 dB), while maintaining full 16-bit linearity. Exceeding 5.1 V violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage to the REF pin.
Does AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 support daisy-chaining with other ADCs?
Yes, AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 supports daisy-chaining via its SDI input in Chain Mode. When SDI is low at the CNV rising edge, the device forwards upstream conversion data on SDO with a fixed 16-SCK-cycle delay, enabling synchronization of multiple AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 devices on a single serial bus without additional CS lines.
What is the minimum logic voltage supported by AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7's VIO supply?
The AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 supports VIO from 1.71 V to 5.5 V. At 1.71 V, SCK period increases to 22 ns minimum and setup/hold times widen (e.g., tSSDICNV = 18 ns), but full functionality-including CS and Chain Modes-is maintained, enabling direct interface with ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers.
How does the AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 handle input overvoltage conditions?
AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 specifies absolute maximum analog input limits of −0.1 V to VREF + 0.1 V on IN+, and −0.1 V to +0.1 V on IN−. Exceeding these ranges risks latch-up or parametric shift. External clamping diodes and series resistors are recommended for inputs exposed to transients beyond these bounds.
Is AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 pin-compatible with AD7988-1BCPZ-RL7?
Yes, AD7988-5BCPZ-RL7 is pin-compatible with AD7988-1BCPZ-RL7 in both MSOP-10 and LFCSP-10 packages. They share identical pin functions, electrical interface specifications, and thermal characteristics - allowing drop-in replacement where higher throughput is needed without PCB redesign.
