Product details
Overview
AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 from Analog Devices is an 18-bit, 500 kSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with true differential input, ±VREF range, zero-latency architecture, and SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible serial interface. It operates from a single 2.5 V supply with independent 1.8 V–5.5 V digital I/O (VIO), enabling integration into precision data acquisition systems requiring high dynamic range and low power at medium throughput.
For engineers reviewing the AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 datasheet, AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 pinout, AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 application, or AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative options, and supply-ready procurement guidance - all grounded in Analog Devices' Rev. C datasheet and official package documentation.
Technical Context
The AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 implements a charge redistribution SAR architecture with on-chip track-and-hold, delivering 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 external reference voltages from 2.4 V to 5.1 V.
It features dual-mode serial interface operation: chip-select (CS) mode with SDO enabled on CNV low, and daisy-chain (chain) mode activated when SDI/CS is low at CNV rising edge. The internal conversion clock eliminates dependency on SCK for sampling, allowing SCK to run asynchronously up to 23 ns minimum period (VIO ≥ 1.71 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 18-bit with no missing codes - guarantees monotonicity and full code coverage across full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). |
| Throughput | 500 kSPS maximum - enables real-time capture of signals up to ~200 kHz Nyquist bandwidth with oversampling capability. |
| INL | ±2 LSB max - ensures end-point linearity error ≤ ±0.00076% of full scale, critical for calibrated measurement systems. |
| SNR | 98 dB at fIN = 1 kHz, VREF = 5 V - corresponds to ~16.3 effective bits and < 38 µV rms noise in 5 V range. |
| Power (total) | 3.5 mW at 500 kSPS - scales linearly with throughput; drops to 70 µW at 10 kSPS for ultra-low-power wake-up sensing. |
| Analog Input Range | True differential ±VREF, with VREF programmable 2.4 V–5.1 V - supports flexible signal conditioning and bipolar sensor interfacing. |
| Digital Interface | SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible, 1.8 V–5.5 V VIO - interoperates directly with Blackfin®, ARM Cortex-M, FPGA, and microcontroller GPIOs without level shifters. |
Pinout & Package
AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 is packaged in a 3 mm × 3 mm, 10-lead LFCSP (CP-10-9) with exposed pad. This thermally enhanced package achieves θJA = 48.7°C/W and θJC = 2.96°C/W under JEDEC 2S2P PCB conditions, supporting reliable operation at full throughput in industrial ambient temperatures.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 REF | Analog reference input | Accepts 2.4 V–5.1 V external reference; requires local 10 µF decoupling to GND for noise immunity and stability. |
| 2 VDD | Analog power supply | 2.375 V–2.625 V single supply; powers core ADC and internal reference buffer; current scales with throughput. |
| 3 IN+ | Differential analog input (+) | Swings 0 V to VREF; paired with IN− to form true differential input with 67 dB CMRR at 450 kHz. |
| 4 IN− | Differential analog input (−) | Swings 0 V to VREF; complements IN+; common-mode voltage must be within VREF × 0.475 to VREF × 0.525. |
| 5 GND | Power ground | Primary return path for VDD, REF, and analog inputs; must be low-impedance and separated from digital ground where possible. |
| 6 CNV | Conversion start / mode select | Rising edge initiates sampling; logic level at CNV edge selects CS mode (high) or chain mode (low); also enables SDO in CS mode. |
| 7 SDO | Serial data output | 18-bit two's complement output synchronized to SCK falling edge; high-impedance when not selected (CNV high in CS mode). |
| 8 SCK | Serial clock input | Drives data readout; minimum period 22 ns (VIO ≥ 1.71 V); not used for conversion timing - internal clock handles sampling. |
| 9 SDI/CS | Data input / chip select | In CS mode: acts as chip select (active high); in chain mode: accepts daisy-chained data from upstream ADC (16-cycle delay). |
| 10 VIO | Digital I/O supply | 1.71 V–5.5 V logic interface supply; sets VIH/VIL thresholds and powers SDO driver; decoupled separately from VDD. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-latency architecture | Delivers immediate conversion result after CNV rising edge - essential for closed-loop control and multiplexed channel sequencing without dead time. |
| True differential input with ±VREF range | Rejects common-mode noise up to 67 dB at 450 kHz and supports bipolar signal acquisition (e.g., ±5 V, ±10 V) using external gain/level-shift circuitry. |
| Low power scaling | Consumes only 70 µW at 10 kSPS - enables battery-powered portable instrumentation with extended duty cycles and minimal thermal load. |
| Daisy-chain interface support | Allows multiple AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 devices to share one SDO line and three-wire bus (SCK, CNV, SDI/CS), reducing MCU GPIO count and PCB routing complexity. |
| Wide VIO compatibility | Operates natively with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, and 5 V logic families - eliminates need for external level translators in mixed-voltage systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7691BCPZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 250 kSPS, 2.5 V supply, SPI-only interface, no VIO pin - fixed 2.5 V logic interface. | Lower throughput limits use in high-bandwidth control loops; lacks daisy-chain mode and flexible VIO. | Select when system uses only 2.5 V logic and requires lower power at ≤250 kSPS; verify layout accommodates larger MSOP package. |
| AD4011BRMZ-RL7 | 18-bit, 1 MSPS, pseudo-differential input, 1.8 V–5.5 V VIO, 10-lead MSOP/LFCSP - higher speed but no true differential input. | Requires external signal conditioning for true differential sources; better suited for single-ended sensor interfaces. | Choose for higher throughput needs where input is inherently single-ended or can be converted externally; confirm INL (±3.5 LSB max) meets accuracy target. |
Compared with AD7989-5BCPZ-R2, AD7691BCPZ-RL7 trades throughput and interface flexibility for lower power at reduced speed, while AD4011BRMZ-RL7 offers double the sample rate but sacrifices true differential input integrity - making AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 optimal for precision bipolar signal acquisition at 500 kSPS with minimal system-level overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended reference voltage for AD7989-5BCPZ-R2?
The AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 supports an external reference voltage range of 2.4 V to 5.1 V. Operation at 5.0 V delivers optimal AC performance: 98 dB SNR, 99 dB dynamic range, and −119 dB THD. Exceeding 5.1 V violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage to the REF pin.
Does AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 require an external clock for conversion timing?
No. The AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 contains an internal conversion clock and requires only the CNV rising edge to initiate sampling. The SCK signal is used solely for serial readout and does not affect conversion timing - enabling asynchronous host communication and eliminating clock skew concerns in multi-ADC systems.
Can AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 interface directly with a 1.8 V microcontroller?
Yes. The AD7989-5BCPZ-R2's VIO pin accepts 1.71 V to 5.5 V, and its digital inputs (CNV, SCK, SDI/CS) are fully compatible with 1.8 V logic levels. When VIO = 1.8 V, VIH is guaranteed ≥ 1.62 V and VIL ≤ 0.18 V - matching standard 1.8 V CMOS thresholds without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad on the AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 LFCSP package?
The exposed pad on the AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 LFCSP (CP-10-9) is thermally connected to the die substrate and may be soldered to a PCB ground plane to improve thermal dissipation. While not required for electrical functionality, grounding the pad reduces θJA by up to 30% and stabilizes junction temperature during sustained 500 kSPS operation.
How does the daisy-chain mode function on AD7989-5BCPZ-R2?
In daisy-chain mode (activated when SDI/CS is low at CNV rising edge), the AD7989-5BCPZ-R2 accepts serial data on SDI/CS from the previous device in the chain and shifts its own 18-bit result onto SDO after a 16-SCK-cycle delay. This enables up to 16 devices on a single 3-wire SPI bus without additional chip-select lines.
