Product details
Overview
AD7997BRU-0 from Analog Devices is a 10-bit, 8-channel 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 +85°C operating temperature. It integrates an 8:1 analog multiplexer, track-and-hold amplifier, and out-of-range alert function for industrial sensor monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7997BRU-0 datasheet, AD7997BRU-0 pinout, AD7997BRU-0 application, or AD7997BRU-0 equivalent, key selection criteria include I²C address configurability via AS pin, 1 µA shutdown current, 188 kSPS maximum throughput in Mode 2 at 5 V, and support for external reference from 1.2 V to VDD - critical for precision multi-sensor data acquisition in space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The AD7997BRU-0 implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated 8-channel analog multiplexer and track-and-hold, enabling single-supply operation and full-scale input bandwidth up to 11 MHz. Its I²C interface supports standard (100 kHz) and fast (400 kHz) modes only - unlike the -1 variant - and uses pin-selectable addressing (AGND/VDD/floating) to allow up to five devices on one bus.
Conversion control is configurable across three modes: CONVST-triggered (Mode 1), command-mode writes (Mode 2), or automatic cycle interval (Mode 3). The ALERT/BUSY pin serves dual function - as open-drain out-of-range indicator (programmable high/low limits per channel) or BUSY status flag - with hysteresis registers for noise immunity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10 bits - guarantees monotonic transfer function and no missing codes over full temperature range. |
| Conversion Time | 2 µs typical - enables high-speed sampling of transient analog signals without pipeline latency. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers and sensors. |
| I²C Interface Modes | Standard (100 kHz) and Fast (400 kHz) - no high-speed mode; simplifies timing compliance in legacy I²C systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 1 µA maximum at 3 V - minimizes quiescent power in battery-powered or always-on sensor nodes. |
| Analog Input Channels | 8 single-ended inputs (VIN1–VIN8) - eliminates need for external multiplexing in multi-point measurement systems. |
| Reference Input Range | 1.2 V to VDD - allows flexible scaling: e.g., 2.5 V reference for 0–2.5 V sensor outputs or VDD-referenced ratiometric sensing. |
Pinout & Package
AD7997BRU-0 is housed in a 20-lead TSSOP package (RU suffix), 4.4 mm × 6.5 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 marked by dot; pins 1, 3, 4, 20 are AGND; pins 2 and 5 are VDD; pin 17 is dual-function ALERT/BUSY; pin 15 is AS for I²C address selection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 4, 20 | AGND | Analog ground reference for all internal circuitry; must be connected to low-impedance system analog ground plane. |
| 2, 5 | VDD | Main power supply input; decoupling capacitor required close to pin for noise suppression during conversion. |
| 6 | REFIN | External voltage reference input; accepts 1.2 V to VDD; requires 0.1 µF + 1 µF bypass capacitors to AGND. |
| 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 | VIN1–VIN8 | Single-ended analog inputs; each accepts 0 V to REFIN; input capacitance 30 pF typical affects anti-alias filter design. |
| 15 | AS | Address select logic input; sets I²C slave address to 0x41, 0x42, or 0x40 depending on AGND/VDD/floating state. |
| 16 | CONVST | Edge-triggered convert start signal; rising edge powers up device; falling edge initiates conversion after ≥1 µs setup. |
| 17 | ALERT/BUSY | Open-drain output; configurable as out-of-range interrupt (per-channel limit violation) or BUSY indicator during conversion. |
| 18 | SDA | I²C bidirectional data line; requires external pull-up resistor; supports standard/fast mode timing only. |
| 19 | SCL | I²C clock input; open-drain compatible; timing compliant up to 400 kHz; no high-speed mode support. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sequencer operation | Automatically cycles through selected input channels without host intervention - reduces firmware overhead in multi-channel polling. |
| Out-of-range alert with hysteresis | Programmable high/low limit registers per channel plus hysteresis register prevent false triggers from noise near threshold boundaries. |
| Automatic shutdown between conversions | Consumes ≤1 µA in shutdown; powers up only during conversion - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications. |
| Pin-selectable I²C addressing | Three unique addresses (0x40, 0x41, 0x42) via AS pin state - enables daisy-chaining up to five AD7997BRU-0 devices on same I²C bus. |
| 2 µs conversion with 11 MHz full-power bandwidth | Supports accurate digitization of fast transients (e.g., motor current spikes, vibration bursts) without aliasing up to 11 MHz. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-channel, I²C-compatible ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7997BRU-1 | Supports I²C high-speed mode (3.4 MHz); identical 10-bit resolution, 8-channel, and pinout. | Required when system clock budget demands >400 kHz I²C throughput or lower latency reads. | Select AD7997BRU-1 only if high-speed I²C infrastructure is present; AD7997BRU-0 is optimal for cost-sensitive, legacy I²C designs. |
| AD7992BRU-0 | 2-channel version in same 20-lead TSSOP; shares I²C interface, shutdown mode, and REFIN range but lacks sequencer and ALERT functionality. | Suitable for simpler dual-sensor systems where channel count and alert features are unnecessary. | Choose AD7992BRU-0 when only two analog inputs are needed and board space permits reuse of same footprint with reduced feature set. |
Compared with AD7997BRU-1, the AD7997BRU-0 trades high-speed I²C capability for broader timing margin and lower system complexity; versus AD7992BRU-0, it delivers 4× channel density and integrated alert logic - making it the optimal choice for compact, multi-sensor industrial and medical data loggers requiring deterministic I²C timing and fault detection.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by the AD7997BRU-0?
The AD7997BRU-0 supports I²C standard mode (100 kHz) and fast mode (400 kHz) only. It does not support high-speed mode (3.4 MHz), which is exclusive to the AD7997BRU-1 variant. This limitation simplifies timing compliance in legacy microcontroller-based systems but caps maximum throughput at 121 kSPS in Mode 1 at 400 kHz SCL. The AD7997BRU-0 datasheet specifies tHIGH ≥ 0.6 µs and tLOW ≥ 1.3 µs under fast mode conditions.
How does the AS pin configure the I²C address of the AD7997BRU-0?
The AS pin on the AD7997BRU-0 selects one of three I²C slave addresses: 0x40 when floating, 0x41 when tied to AGND, and 0x42 when tied to VDD. This pin-driven addressing enables up to five AD7997BRU-0 devices on a single I²C bus without external address jumpers. The configuration is latched at power-up and remains static until reset; no software register write is required to set the address.
Can the AD7997BRU-0 operate with a 1.8 V supply?
No, the AD7997BRU-0 requires a minimum VDD of 2.7 V and is specified for operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. A 1.8 V supply falls outside its absolute maximum ratings and will not power the internal reference buffer, SAR core, or I²C interface reliably. For 1.8 V systems, consider the AD7091R-8 (12-bit, 8-channel, SPI interface) or redesign with level-shifting and 3.3 V LDO regulation before the AD7997BRU-0.
What is the purpose of the ALERT/BUSY pin on the AD7997BRU-0?
The ALERT/BUSY pin on the AD7997BRU-0 is a dual-function open-drain output. When configured as ALERT (default), it asserts low when any enabled channel's conversion result exceeds programmable high or low limits stored in DATALOWLIMIT/DATAHIGHLIMIT registers. When configured as BUSY, it goes low during conversion and returns high upon completion. Configuration is controlled via bit 7 of the Configuration Register (0x01).
Does the AD7997BRU-0 require an external reference, and what is its valid voltage range?
Yes, the AD7997BRU-0 requires an external reference applied to the REFIN pin. The valid range is 1.2 V to VDD, allowing ratiometric operation (e.g., REFIN = VDD for sensor bridges) or precision referencing (e.g., REFIN = 2.5 V from REF192). Input impedance is 69 kΩ typical during conversion; 0.1 µF and 1 µF capacitors must be placed between REFIN and AGND to suppress noise and maintain stability.
