Product details
Overview
AD7989-1BRMZ from Analog Devices is an 18-bit, 100 kSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with true differential input, ±VREF range, zero-latency architecture, and SPI-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 2.5 V supply with separate 1.71–5.5 V digital I/O voltage (VIO) and supports external reference voltages from 2.4 V to 5.1 V. It delivers 99 dB dynamic range and ±1 LSB typical INL in automated test equipment requiring high-resolution, low-power signal acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the AD7989-1BRMZ datasheet, AD7989-1BRMZ pinout, AD7989-1BRMZ application, or AD7989-1BRMZ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed package mapping (10-lead MSOP), real-world use scenarios in precision data acquisition, and two technically documented alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The AD7989-1BRMZ implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with on-chip track-and-hold, enabling true zero-latency conversion and no pipeline delay. Its differential input stage accepts ±VREF signals with 67 dB common-mode rejection at 450 kHz and supports full-scale ranges up to ±5 V when VREF = 5 V.
It features a proprietary SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible serial interface with dual-mode operation: chip-select (CS) mode using SDI/CS and CNV for multi-device control, or daisy-chain mode for compact 3-wire bus expansion. Conversion is triggered by the rising edge of CNV, and output data appears immediately after completion with no latency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and unambiguous code mapping across full scale. |
| Throughput | 100 kSPS - fixed maximum sampling rate; enables deterministic timing for real-time control loops. |
| INL | ±1 LSB typical, ±2 LSB max - ensures <0.00076% full-scale linearity error for calibration-sensitive instrumentation. |
| Dynamic Range | 99 dB at VREF = 5 V - supports >100 dB SNR-equivalent effective resolution in low-noise systems. |
| Power Dissipation | 700 µW total at 100 kSPS - allows battery-powered portable DAQ designs with minimal thermal load. |
| Analog Input Range | ±VREF, with VREF = 2.4–5.1 V - permits flexible scaling from ±2.4 V to ±5.1 V without external gain stages. |
| Supply Voltages | VDD = 2.375–2.625 V; VIO = 1.71–5.5 V - decouples analog core from logic domain for noise isolation. |
Pinout & Package
AD7989-1BRMZ is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP (RM-10) with exposed pad. The package measures 3 mm × 3 mm × 1.1 mm and supports −40°C to +85°C operation. Thermal resistance θJA = 200°C/W under JEDEC 2S2P board conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 REF | Analog input | External reference voltage input (2.4–5.1 V); must be decoupled with 10 µF capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 2 VDD | Power supply | 2.5 V analog core supply; powers internal SAR, comparator, and reference buffer. |
| 3 IN+ | Analog input | Differential positive input; accepts 0 V to VREF with common-mode centered at VREF/2. |
| 4 IN− | Analog input | Differential negative input; complements IN+ for true differential acquisition and CMRR enhancement. |
| 5 GND | Power ground | Analog and digital ground reference; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 CNV | Digital input | Conversion start trigger; rising edge initiates sampling and selects interface mode (CS or chain). |
| 7 SDO | Digital output | 18-bit twos-complement serial data output; synchronized to SCK falling edge; high-impedance when disabled. |
| 8 SCK | Digital input | Serial clock input; supports variable frequency up to 50 MHz depending on VIO level. |
| 9 SDI/CS | Digital input | Configurable as serial data input (chain mode) or chip select (CS mode); determines bus topology. |
| 10 VIO | Power supply | Digital I/O interface supply (1.71–5.5 V); sets logic thresholds independently of VDD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-latency architecture | Eliminates pipeline delay - critical for closed-loop feedback systems where immediate result availability is required. |
| True differential input | ±VREF range with 67 dB CMRR at 450 kHz - rejects common-mode noise in motor current sensing and sensor front-ends. |
| Low power at 100 kSPS | 700 µW total dissipation - enables >1-year battery life in handheld multimeters or portable oscilloscopes. |
| Flexible digital interface | 1.71–5.5 V VIO compatibility with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP protocols - simplifies integration with FPGA, MCU, or DSP host. |
| Wide reference voltage range | 2.4–5.1 V external VREF - allows optimization of dynamic range and SNR for specific sensor output spans. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7691BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 250 kSPS, 2.5 V supply, integrated reference; no separate VIO pin - fixed 2.5 V logic interface. | Lower throughput but eliminates external reference design; unsuitable for mixed-voltage logic systems. | Select when system uses only 2.5 V digital interfaces and requires reduced BOM count via internal reference. |
| AD4003BRMZ | 18-bit, 1 MSPS, 1.8 V/3 V logic compatible, ±VREF input; higher speed but 4.5 mW power at full rate. | Supports faster control loops but requires thermal management; not drop-in due to different pinout and timing. | Select when >100 kSPS is needed and power budget allows ~6× higher dissipation; verify layout changes for LFCSP-10 footprint. |
Compared with AD7989-1BRMZ, AD7691BCPZ-RL7 trades throughput and interface flexibility for integration and simplicity, while AD4003BRMZ offers higher speed at significantly increased power and layout complexity - making AD7989-1BRMZ optimal for space-constrained, low-power, 100 kSPS precision DAQ nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate of the AD7989-1BRMZ?
The AD7989-1BRMZ has a fixed maximum throughput of 100 kSPS, as confirmed in the Rev. C datasheet Table 2 and General Description section. This is distinct from the AD7989-5 variant (500 kSPS). The 100 kSPS rate is guaranteed over the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range with VDD = 2.5 V and VREF = 5 V. Conversion time is 9.5 µs, and minimum cycle time is 10 µs.
Does the AD7989-1BRMZ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7989-1BRMZ requires an external reference voltage applied to the REF pin. The datasheet specifies a 2.4 V to 5.1 V range, and performance metrics like dynamic range and SNR are characterized at VREF = 5 V. No internal reference is present; the device lacks a REFOUT pin or reference buffer - all reference conditioning must be handled externally.
What package type is used for the AD7989-1BRMZ?
The AD7989-1BRMZ uses a 10-lead MSOP (Mini Small Outline Package), designated RM-10 in Analog Devices' ordering guide and thermal tables. It is not the LFCSP variant (CP-10-9); the "BRMZ" suffix explicitly denotes the MSOP package with exposed pad. Pin configuration matches Figure 3 in the Rev. C datasheet, and θJA = 200°C/W is specified for this package under JEDEC 2S2P conditions.
Can the AD7989-1BRMZ interface with a 1.8 V microcontroller?
Yes, the AD7989-1BRMZ supports 1.8 V logic interfaces via its dedicated VIO pin (Pin 10), which accepts 1.71 V to 5.5 V. When VIO = 1.8 V, digital input thresholds are scaled accordingly (e.g., VIL ≤ +0.1 × VIO = 0.18 V), and SDO output VOH ≥ VIO − 0.3 V = 1.5 V - ensuring reliable communication with 1.8 V MCUs without level shifters.
What is the analog input voltage range specification for the AD7989-1BRMZ?
The AD7989-1BRMZ has a true differential analog input range of ±VREF, meaning the voltage difference between IN+ and IN− can swing from −VREF to +VREF. With VREF = 5 V, this yields a ±5 V range. Absolute input limits are −0.1 V to VREF + 0.1 V per pin, and common-mode range is tightly constrained to VREF × 0.475 to VREF × 0.525 - requiring matched driver circuitry for optimal CMRR.
