Product details
Overview
AD7998BRU-0 from Analog Devices is a 12-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 operation. It integrates an 8:1 analog multiplexer, track-and-hold amplifier, and out-of-range alert function for sensor monitoring in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7998BRU-0 datasheet, AD7998BRU-0 pinout, AD7998BRU-0 application, or AD7998BRU-0 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world use cases, validated alternatives, and supply-ready procurement details - all grounded in the official Rev. 0 datasheet and Analog Devices' product documentation.
Technical Context
The AD7998BRU-0 implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated 8:1 multiplexer and track-and-hold, supporting up to 11 MHz full-power analog input bandwidth. Its I²C interface operates in standard (100 kHz), fast (400 kHz), and high-speed (3.4 MHz) modes - confirmed for the -0 variant only up to 400 kHz.
Conversion is initiated via CONVST pin edge, I²C command write, or automatic cycle timer; internal registers store high/low limits per channel and enable ALERT/BUSY open-drain output. Reference voltage (REFIN) is externally supplied from 1.2 V to VDD, enabling flexible dynamic range scaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 1 LSB = VREFIN/4096 quantization step for precision sensor digitization. |
| Conversion Time | 2 µs typ - enables sampling at up to 188 kSPS in Mode 2 at 5 V, critical for fast transient capture. |
| SINAD | 70.5 dB min at 10 kHz input - supports >11-bit effective resolution in noise-sensitive measurement paths. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - allows direct interfacing with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Power-Down Current | 1 µA max - minimizes standby power in battery-operated remote sensors and IoT endpoints. |
| I²C Address Modes | Pin-selectable via AS pin (AGND/VDD/floating) - permits up to three AD7998BRU-0 devices on one bus. |
| Input Channels | 8 single-ended - eliminates need for external multiplexers in multi-sensor systems like PLC I/O modules. |
Pinout & Package
AD7998BRU-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 performance. Pin functions are validated per datasheet Figure 3 and Table 5.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 4, 20 | AGND | Analog ground reference - must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog inputs. |
| 2, 5 | VDD | Single power supply input - decoupling (0.1 µF + 1 µF) required near each VDD pin for stable conversion. |
| 6 | REFIN | External reference input - sets full-scale range (0 to REFIN); supports 1.2 V–VDD, enabling ratiometric or fixed-reference designs. |
| 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 | VIN1–VIN8 | Single-ended analog inputs - each accepts 0 V to REFIN; no internal buffer; input capacitance 30 pF requires low-impedance source. |
| 15 | AS | Address select logic input - selects I²C address (0x41, 0x42, or 0x40 when floating) for multi-device bus configuration. |
| 16 | CONVST | Edge-triggered convert start - rising edge powers up device; falling edge initiates conversion after ≥1 µs setup. |
| 17 | ALERT/BUSY | Configurable open-drain output - alerts host MCU when channel result exceeds programmed DATAHIGH/DATALOW limits. |
| 18 | SDA | I²C bidirectional data line - requires external pull-up; supports standard/fast mode (≤400 kHz for AD7998BRU-0). |
| 19 | SCL | I²C clock input - open-drain; timing compliant with I²C spec up to 400 kHz for this -0 variant. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 8-channel sequencer with automatic cycle mode | Reduces firmware overhead by auto-cycling through all 8 inputs without repeated I²C commands. |
| Programmable out-of-range alert with hysteresis | Eliminates polling: ALERT pin asserts interrupt on violation of per-channel high/low limit registers. |
| Three I²C addresses via AS pin | Enables daisy-chaining up to three AD7998BRU-0 devices on one I²C bus without address conflict. |
| 1 µA shutdown current | Extends battery life in portable instrumentation - device powers up only during conversion or I²C activity. |
| 2 µs conversion time with 12-bit accuracy | Delivers high throughput without sacrificing resolution - suitable for closed-loop control feedback sampling. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Hub | PLC Analog Input Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-channel, I²C ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7998BRU-1 | Supports I²C high-speed mode (3.4 MHz); same 12-bit resolution, 2 µs conversion, and pinout. | Required for systems needing >400 kHz I²C throughput or tighter timing budgets in command-mode operation. | Select AD7998BRU-1 if bus speed >400 kHz is needed; AD7998BRU-0 is optimal for cost-sensitive 100–400 kHz implementations. |
| ADS1115IDGSR | 16-bit delta-sigma ADC, 860 SPS max, internal reference, no ALERT pin, 10-lead VSSOP package. | Better resolution but lower speed; suited for slow, high-precision DC measurements (e.g., strain gauges), not dynamic signal capture. | Choose ADS1115IDGSR only for ultra-low-noise DC sensing; AD7998BRU-0 remains superior for >10 kSPS multi-channel AC or transient applications. |
Compared with AD7998BRU-1, the AD7998BRU-0 trades higher I²C speed for lower system complexity and cost in standard/fast-mode buses; versus ADS1115IDGSR, it delivers 10× faster throughput and hardware alerting at the expense of 4-bit resolution - making it the preferred choice for real-time industrial monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AD7998BRU-0?
The AD7998BRU-0 supports I²C standard mode (100 kHz) and fast mode (400 kHz) only. Unlike the AD7998BRU-1, it does not support high-speed mode (3.4 MHz). This is explicitly defined in Table 2 and the General Description section of the Rev. 0 datasheet, where fSCL specifications for the -0 variant are capped at 400 kHz.
Does AD7998BRU-0 include an internal voltage reference?
No, AD7998BRU-0 requires an external reference applied to the REFIN pin. The datasheet specifies REFIN input voltage range as 1.2 V to VDD, with recommended decoupling (0.1 µF and 1 µF capacitors to AGND). No internal reference circuitry is present - all reference dependency is external.
How many analog input channels does AD7998BRU-0 support, and what type?
AD7998BRU-0 supports eight single-ended analog input channels (VIN1 through VIN8), as confirmed in the General Description, Features list, and Pin Function Descriptions (Table 5). It does not support differential inputs or pseudo-differential configurations - all channels are referenced to AGND with 0 V to REFIN range.
What is the purpose of the AS pin on AD7998BRU-0?
The AS (Address Select) pin on AD7998BRU-0 configures the device's I²C slave address: tied to AGND → 0x41, tied to VDD → 0x42, left floating → 0x40. This enables up to three AD7998BRU-0 units on the same I²C bus without address collision, as documented in Table 6 and the Functional Block Diagram description.
Can AD7998BRU-0 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, AD7998BRU-0 is fully specified for VDD = 2.7 V to 5.5 V, including 3.3 V operation. All key parameters - conversion time (2 µs), power consumption (0.15 mA active, 1 µA shutdown), and I²C timing - are guaranteed across this range, with explicit test conditions cited for 3.3 V in Tables 1 and 2.
