Product details
Overview
AD7994BRUZ-1 from Analog Devices is a 4-channel, 12-bit successive approximation ADC with I²C-compatible serial interface, 2 µs conversion time, 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply range, and −40°C to +125°C operating temperature. It integrates a 4-channel multiplexer, track-and-hold amplifier, and programmable limit registers for out-of-range alerting in industrial sensor monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7994BRUZ-1 datasheet, AD7994BRUZ-1 pinout, AD7994BRUZ-1 application, or AD7994BRUZ-1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-bit resolution with ±1 LSB INL, I²C high-speed mode support up to 3.4 MHz, open-drain ALERT/BUSY output, pin-selectable addressing via AS, and shutdown current of 1 µA max - all in a 16-lead TSSOP package.
Technical Context
The AD7994BRUZ-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, with address selection via the AS pin enabling up to five devices on one bus.
Conversion control operates in three modes: CONVST-triggered (Mode 1), command-mode writes (Mode 2), or automatic cycle interval (Mode 3). On-chip registers include configuration, conversion result, high/low limit, hysteresis, alert status, and cycle timer - all accessible via I²C with no external timing components required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes across full temperature range. |
| Conversion Time | 2 µs typ - enables sampling at up to 188 kSPS in Mode 2 at 5 V with 3.4 MHz SCL. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB max / +1/–0.9 LSB max - ensures accurate multi-channel measurement without calibration in precision sensor interfaces. |
| SINAD | 70.5 dB min at 10 kHz input - delivers >11.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) for high-fidelity signal capture. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Shutdown Current | 1 µA max - minimizes system power in battery-operated or energy-constrained applications. |
| I²C Speed | Up to 3.4 MHz (high-speed mode) - reduces data transfer latency and host processor overhead. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and motor control environments. |
Pinout & Package
AD7994BRUZ-1 is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant, and rated for industrial temperature operation.
| 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 system AGND plane. |
| 5 | VDD | Single power supply input (2.7–5.5 V); decoupling capacitor required per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| 6 | REFIN | External reference input (1.2 V to VDD); determines full-scale input range (0 to REFIN) and directly impacts accuracy. |
| 7, 8, 9, 10 | VIN1–VIN4 | Four single-ended analog inputs; each accepts 0 V to REFIN with 30 pF input capacitance and ±1 µA leakage. |
| 11 | AS | Address select logic input - sets I²C slave address to one of three values (GND/VDD/float) per Table 6. |
| 12 | CONVST | Edge-triggered convert start - rising edge powers up device; falling edge initiates conversion after ≥1 µs setup. |
| 13 | ALERT/BUSY | Configurable open-drain output - signals out-of-range condition or active conversion; requires external pull-up. |
| 14 | SDA | I²C bidirectional data line - open-drain, requires external pull-up; supports standard/fast/high-speed modes. |
| 15 | SCL | I²C clock input - open-drain compatible, requires external pull-up; timing validated per Table 3. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 12-bit SAR ADC with 2 µs conversion | Enables high-throughput, low-latency acquisition in real-time control loops without pipeline delay. |
| I²C high-speed mode (3.4 MHz) | Reduces per-sample transaction time by >70% vs. standard mode, easing host firmware timing constraints. |
| Programmable channel limit registers | Allows autonomous over/under-range detection with interrupt-driven response - eliminates continuous polling. |
| Pin-selectable I²C addressing (AS) | Permits up to five AD7994BRUZ-1 units on one I²C bus without address conflicts or external logic. |
| Auto-shutdown between conversions | Delivers 1 µA max quiescent current in idle state - critical for always-on sensor nodes and low-power IoT endpoints. |
| Wide reference range (1.2 V to VDD) | Supports flexible scaling: use 2.5 V reference for maximum SNR or rail-to-rail reference for simplified supply design. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 4-channel, I²C ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7994BRUZ | Same 12-bit performance but supports only standard/fast I²C (≤400 kHz); lacks high-speed mode (3.4 MHz). | Lower throughput in high-SCL-rate systems; suitable where host MCU lacks high-speed I²C support. | Select AD7994BRUZ if system clock budget or MCU peripheral limitations preclude 3.4 MHz SCL operation. |
| ADS1015IDGSR | 12-bit delta-sigma ADC with 3.3 kSPS max; built-in PGA (1–16×); no ALERT output; 10-bit mode available. | Higher noise immunity at low frequencies but lower speed; better for DC/low-frequency sensor signals than dynamic waveforms. | Choose ADS1015IDGSR when oversampling and programmable gain are prioritized over raw speed and autonomous alerting. |
Compared with AD7994BRUZ-1, AD7994BRUZ trades I²C speed for broader MCU compatibility, while ADS1015IDGSR offers integrated gain and noise filtering at the cost of throughput and hardware interrupt capability - making AD7994BRUZ-1 optimal for deterministic, high-speed, alert-driven multi-channel acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AD7994BRUZ-1?
The AD7994BRUZ-1 supports I²C high-speed mode up to 3.4 MHz when operating in AD7994-1 configuration (AS pin tied to GND or VDD). This is confirmed in Table 3 of the datasheet and enables throughput rates up to 188 kSPS at 5 V. Standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz) modes are also supported for backward compatibility with legacy controllers.
Does the AD7994BRUZ-1 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7994BRUZ-1 requires an external reference applied to the REFIN pin. The reference voltage must be between 1.2 V and VDD, and directly defines the full-scale input range (0 V to REFIN). A 0.1 µF and 1 µF capacitor pair is mandatory between REFIN and AGND per Figure 22 in the datasheet to ensure stability and noise immunity.
How does the ALERT/BUSY pin function on the AD7994BRUZ-1?
The ALERT/BUSY pin on the AD7994BRUZ-1 is software-configurable via the configuration register. When set as ALERT, it asserts low (open-drain) when any channel's conversion result exceeds user-programmed high or low limits. When set as BUSY, it asserts low during active conversion. Both modes require an external pull-up resistor and provide hardware interrupt capability without host polling.
Can the AD7994BRUZ-1 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the AD7994BRUZ-1 is fully specified for operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, including 3.3 V nominal supplies. All key parameters - including 12-bit resolution, ±1 LSB INL, 2 µs conversion time, and I²C timing - are guaranteed across this range. Power consumption at 3.3 V is 0.7 mA typ in high-speed mode (3.4 MHz SCL), as shown in Table 2.
What is the purpose of the AS pin on the AD7994BRUZ-1?
The AS (Address Select) pin on the AD7994BRUZ-1 selects one of three I²C slave addresses: grounded (0100011b), tied to VDD (0100100b), or left floating (0100000b). This allows up to five AD7994BRUZ-1 devices to share the same I²C bus without address collision - a key feature for compact multi-sensor nodes where board space and wiring count are constrained.
