Product details
Overview
AD7993BRU-1 from Analog Devices is a 4-channel, 10-bit successive approximation ADC with I²C-compatible serial interface, 2 µs conversion time, 188 kSPS throughput at 5 V, and operation over −40°C to +125°C. It integrates a 4-channel multiplexer, track-and-hold amplifier, and on-chip limit registers for out-of-range monitoring in industrial sensor signal conditioning systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7993BRU-1 datasheet, AD7993BRU-1 pinout, AD7993BRU-1 application, or AD7993BRU-1 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, I²C timing modes (standard/fast/high-speed), sequencer operation, alert/busy dual-function output behavior, and real-world use context for embedded analog front-end design.
Technical Context
The AD7993BRU-1 implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated 4:1 analog multiplexer and track-and-hold, supporting single-ended inputs up to 11 MHz full-power bandwidth. Its I²C interface supports standard (100 kHz), fast (400 kHz), and high-speed (3.4 MHz) modes-enabled by the -1 suffix variant-and uses pin-selectable addressing via the AS input.
Conversion control operates in three distinct modes: CONVST-triggered (Mode 1), command-mode writes (Mode 2), or automatic interval timing (Mode 3). The ALERT/BUSY pin is software-configurable as either an out-of-range interrupt or busy indicator, and internal limit registers (DATALOW/DATAHIGH per channel) enable autonomous threshold monitoring without host intervention.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD7993BRU-1 is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP package (RU-16), with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices' Rev. 0 datasheet Figure 3 and Table 5.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 16 | AGND | Analog ground reference for all internal circuitry; must be connected to low-impedance analog ground plane. |
| 5 | VDD | Single 2.7–5.5 V supply input; powers analog and digital sections; requires local 0.1 µF + 1 µF decoupling. |
| 6 | REFIN | External reference input (1.2 V to VDD); sets full-scale range; requires 0.1 µF + 1 µF bypass to AGND. |
| 7, 8, 9, 10 | VIN1–VIN4 | Four single-ended analog inputs; each accepts 0 V to REFIN; 30 pF input capacitance limits source impedance. |
| 11 | AS | Address select logic input; selects one of five I²C addresses (GND/VDD/float) for multi-device bus configuration. |
| 12 | CONVST | Edge-triggered convert start; rising edge powers up device (1 µs min pulse), falling edge initiates conversion. |
| 13 | ALERT/BUSY | Open-drain configurable output; acts as out-of-range interrupt or conversion-in-progress indicator. |
| 14 | SDA | I²C bidirectional data line; open-drain; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2–10 kΩ). |
| 15 | SCL | I²C clock input; open-drain compatible; requires external pull-up; supports up to 3.4 MHz in -1 variant. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sequencer operation | Automatically cycles through all four channels without host command overhead, reducing firmware complexity. |
| Out-of-range indicator | Hardware-based alert generation using programmable per-channel high/low limit registers - eliminates polling. |
| Automatic cycle interval mode | Configurable conversion interval timer enables deterministic sampling without CPU involvement. |
| Pin-selectable I²C address | AS pin allows five unique addresses on same bus - supports up to five AD7993BRU-1 devices in one system. |
| Low-power shutdown | 1 µA max quiescent current in shutdown mode - extends battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Reference flexibility | REFIN accepts 1.2 V to VDD - enables ratiometric or precision reference configurations with wide dynamic range. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-channel, I²C-compatible ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7992BRU-1 | 2-channel version; identical architecture, timing, and I²C interface; shares same pinout except unused VIN3/VIN4 pins. | Lower channel count suits simpler systems (e.g., dual-sensor HVAC controls) where space or cost optimization is critical. | Select AD7992BRU-1 when only two analog inputs are required - saves board area and reduces BOM cost without sacrificing performance. |
| AD7998BRU-1 | 8-channel version; same 10-bit resolution, 2 µs conversion, and I²C timing; adds two extra analog inputs and corresponding register map extensions. | Supports higher channel density (e.g., multi-zone environmental monitoring, advanced power quality analyzers). | Choose AD7998BRU-1 when future expansion or consolidated sensing across eight points is needed - maintains identical firmware structure and layout compatibility. |
Compared with AD7992BRU-1 and AD7998BRU-1, the AD7993BRU-1 provides optimal channel count for mid-complexity industrial systems - balancing integration density, PCB footprint, and firmware scalability without over-provisioning or under-specifying.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AD7993BRU-1?
The AD7993BRU-1 supports high-speed I²C mode up to 3.4 MHz (with ≤100 pF bus capacitance) as confirmed in Table 3 of the Rev. 0 datasheet. This is enabled by the "-1" suffix variant and distinguishes it from the -0 version limited to 400 kHz. Using 3.4 MHz reduces total conversion+read time significantly - critical for high-throughput applications like motor control where AD7993BRU-1 achieves 188 kSPS at 5 V.
Does the AD7993BRU-1 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7993BRU-1 requires an external reference applied to the REFIN pin, which sets the full-scale input range (0 V to REFIN). The datasheet specifies REFIN can range from 1.2 V to VDD, allowing flexible configurations - e.g., ratiometric sensing with a precision 2.5 V reference or direct connection to a stable 3.3 V rail. No internal reference is provided; omitting REFIN renders AD7993BRU-1 nonfunctional.
How does the ALERT/BUSY pin function on the AD7993BRU-1?
The ALERT/BUSY pin on the AD7993BRU-1 is software-configurable via the Configuration Register. When set as ALERT, it asserts low (open-drain) if any channel's conversion result exceeds programmed high/low limits - acting as a hardware interrupt. When set as BUSY, it goes low during conversion and returns high upon completion. This dual-role capability eliminates need for dedicated status lines and simplifies host interface design in resource-constrained microcontrollers.
Can the AD7993BRU-1 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the AD7993BRU-1 is fully specified for VDD = 2.7 V to 5.5 V, including 3.3 V operation. All key parameters - including 2 µs conversion time, 10-bit linearity (±0.5 LSB INL), and I²C timing - are guaranteed across this range. At 3.3 V, typical operating current is 0.7 mA in high-speed mode, and shutdown current remains ≤1 µA, making AD7993BRU-1 suitable for low-voltage embedded systems without performance compromise.
What is the purpose of the AS pin on the AD7993BRU-1?
The AS (Address Select) pin on the AD7993BRU-1 determines the device's 7-bit I²C slave address by selecting between GND, VDD, or floating states - yielding five possible addresses (0x21, 0x22, 0x23, 0x24, 0x20) per Table 6. This enables up to five AD7993BRU-1 devices on a single I²C bus without address conflict, essential for distributed sensor nodes or modular analog input systems where AD7993BRU-1 serves as a scalable building block.
