Product details
Overview
AD7998BRUZ-0 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 8-channel successive approximation ADC with I²C-compatible serial interface, 2 µs conversion time, 2.7–5.5 V supply range, and −40°C to +85°C operating temperature. It integrates an 8:1 analog multiplexer, track-and-hold amplifier, and programmable out-of-range alert for sensor monitoring in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7998BRUZ-0 datasheet, AD7998BRUZ-0 pinout, AD7998BRUZ-0 application, or AD7998BRUZ-0 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-bit resolution with ±1 LSB INL, I²C high-speed mode support (up to 3.4 MHz), 11 MHz full-power bandwidth, REFIN voltage range (1.2 V to VDD), and 20-lead TSSOP package with pin-selectable addressing via AS.
Technical Context
The AD7998BRUZ-0 implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated 8-channel analog multiplexer and track-and-hold, supporting single-ended inputs up to 11 MHz. Its I²C interface supports standard (100 kHz), fast (400 kHz), and high-speed (3.4 MHz) modes-enabled only on the -1 variant, but AD7998BRUZ-0 is the -0 version and thus supports up to 400 kHz.
Conversion is initiated via CONVST pin edge, I²C command write, or automatic cycle timer; internal registers store conversion results, high/low limits, hysteresis, and configuration. The ALERT/BUSY pin operates as open-drain out-of-range indicator when enabled, driven by violation of programmed DATAHIGH/DATALOW thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees monotonic output and no missing codes across full scale. |
| Conversion Time | 2 µs typical - enables sampling at up to 121 kSPS in Mode 1 with 400 kHz I²C clock. |
| SINAD | 70.5 dB min at 10 kHz input - defines usable dynamic range for precision sensor digitization. |
| I²C Clock Support | Up to 400 kHz - matches Fast Mode; AD7998BRUZ-0 does not support High Speed Mode (3.4 MHz). |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to REFIN - requires external reference (1.2 V to VDD) applied to REFIN pin for full-scale scaling. |
| Power Consumption | 0.15 mA max active (3.3 V, 400 kHz I²C) - enables low-power operation in battery-backed systems. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
AD7998BRUZ-0 is housed in a 20-lead TSSOP package (4.4 mm × 6.5 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) 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, 3, 4, 20 | AGND | Analog ground reference for all internal circuitry and analog inputs; must be low-impedance and separated from digital ground. |
| 2, 5 | VDD | Single 2.7–5.5 V power supply; powers analog and digital sections; decoupling required near pins. |
| 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, 11, 12, 13, 14 | VIN1–VIN8 | Eight single-ended analog inputs; each accepts 0 V to REFIN; multiplexed internally before SAR conversion. |
| 15 | AS | Address select logic input; sets one of three I²C addresses (AGND = 0x41, VDD = 0x42, float = 0x40) per Table 6. |
| 16 | CONVST | Rising-edge–triggered wake-up signal; falling edge initiates conversion after 1 µs power-up delay. |
| 17 | ALERT/BUSY | Open-drain configurable output; defaults to ALERT (out-of-range interrupt) unless reconfigured via register. |
| 18 | SDA | I²C bidirectional data line; requires external pull-up; supports standard/fast mode only (≤400 kHz). |
| 19 | SCL | I²C clock input; open-drain; requires external pull-up; timing compliant with Table 3 Fast Mode specs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 8-channel single-ended multiplexer | Reduces external signal conditioning components; enables compact multi-sensor monitoring without external MUX IC. |
| Programmable out-of-range alert | Eliminates host polling overhead by generating hardware interrupt on threshold violation using DATAHIGH/DATALOW registers. |
| Automatic shutdown between conversions | Minimizes quiescent current to 1 µA max in power-down mode, extending battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Pin-selectable I²C address | Allows up to three AD7998BRUZ-0 devices on same bus (via AS pin states), simplifying multi-channel system scalability. |
| Internal register structure | Enables flexible configuration of conversion mode, limit thresholds, hysteresis, and cycle timing without external memory. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Monitoring | Automated Test Equipment (ATE) |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7998BRUZ-1 | Supports I²C high-speed mode (3.4 MHz); higher throughput (188 kSPS @ 5 V); identical pinout and register map. | Required where >400 kHz I²C bandwidth or >121 kSPS sustained rate is needed. | Select AD7998BRUZ-1 if system uses high-speed I²C infrastructure and demands maximum sample rate; otherwise AD7998BRUZ-0 suffices for standard/fast-mode buses. |
| ADS7957IRSBT | 12-bit, 8-channel SAR ADC with SPI interface; 1.25 µs conversion; 2.7–5.25 V supply; no built-in alert function or I²C. | Suitable for SPI-based microcontrollers; lacks programmable alert and I²C address selection. | Choose ADS7957IRSBT when SPI is preferred over I²C and external interrupt logic can replace ALERT functionality. |
Compared with AD7998BRUZ-1, the AD7998BRUZ-0 trades I²C speed for broader compatibility with legacy controllers; versus ADS7957IRSBT, it offers native I²C integration and hardware alerting but requires I²C bus management instead of simpler SPI framing.

FAQ
What is the maximum I²C clock frequency supported by AD7998BRUZ-0?
The AD7998BRUZ-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 AD7998BRUZ-1 variant. This limitation is defined in the AD7998 Specifications table (Page 5) and confirmed in the I²C Timing Specifications section (Table 3), where high-speed timing parameters are explicitly marked "AD7997-1/AD7998-1 only."
Does AD7998BRUZ-0 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, AD7998BRUZ-0 requires an external reference voltage applied to the REFIN pin. The reference must be in the range of 1.2 V to VDD (2.7–5.5 V), and the analog input range is 0 V to REFIN. No internal reference is provided; bypassing with 0.1 µF and 1 µF capacitors to AGND is mandatory per the Typical Connection Diagram (Page 16).
How many analog input channels does AD7998BRUZ-0 have, and what type are they?
The AD7998BRUZ-0 has eight single-ended analog input channels (VIN1 through VIN8). Each channel accepts a unipolar voltage from 0 V to REFIN. The device contains an internal 8:1 multiplexer and track-and-hold amplifier, enabling sequential sampling without external switching components.
Can AD7998BRUZ-0 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, AD7998BRUZ-0 is fully specified for VDD = 2.7 V to 5.5 V, including 3.3 V operation. All electrical characteristics-including 12-bit resolution, ±1 LSB INL, 70.5 dB SINAD, and 1 µA shutdown current-are guaranteed across this range. Power consumption at 3.3 V is 0.15 mA max active (400 kHz I²C) and 1 µA max in shutdown mode.
What is the function of the AS pin on AD7998BRUZ-0?
The AS (Address Select) pin on AD7998BRUZ-0 configures one of three I²C slave addresses: tied to AGND (0x41), VDD (0x42), or left floating (0x40). This allows up to three AD7998BRUZ-0 devices to share the same I²C bus without address conflict, as documented in Table 6 of the datasheet. No external resistor is required-direct connection suffices.
