Product details
Overview
AD976ABRSZRL from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 200 kSPS BiCMOS successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal 2.5 V reference, on-chip clock, and high-speed parallel interface. It operates from a single +5 V supply, accepts ±10 V bipolar analog input, and delivers 85 dB signal-to-(noise + distortion) at 45 kHz input - suitable for precision data acquisition in industrial instrumentation and automated test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AD976ABRSZRL datasheet, AD976ABRSZRL pinout, AD976ABRSZRL application, or AD976ABRSZRL equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, package mapping to 28-lead SSOP (RS-28), confirmed 16-bit binary two's complement output format, and validated alternatives for ±10 V, 200 kSPS ADC replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
The AD976ABRSZRL uses a laser-trimmed capacitor array architecture instead of resistor ladders, eliminating temperature-induced linearity drift. Factory calibration stores correction coefficients in on-chip thin-film resistors acting as ROM, enabling real-time adjustment of offset, gain, and capacitor mismatch errors during conversion.
It implements dual-mode control via R/C and CS inputs: R/C falling edge initiates conversion when CS is low (Figure 2), or CS falling edge triggers conversion when R/C is low (Figure 3). BUSY output signals conversion completion, and BYTE enables 8-bit byte-swapped data readout on dedicated pin groups.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16 bits - delivers 305 µV LSB step size over ±10 V full-scale range. |
| Throughput Rate | 200 kSPS - supports 5 µs minimum conversion cycle time for high-speed sampling. |
| Analog Input Range | ±10 V - compatible with standard industrial sensor outputs without external scaling. |
| S/(N+D) | 85 dB at 45 kHz - ensures ≥14-bit effective resolution in mid-bandwidth applications. |
| INL (B-Grade) | ±2.0 LSB - guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes across operating temperature. |
| Power Dissipation | 100 mW max - enables use in thermally constrained embedded systems with single 5 V rail. |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V ±0.02 V - eliminates need for external reference IC unless higher stability required. |
| Digital Interface | Parallel 16-bit, binary two's complement - directly interfaces with DSPs and microcontrollers without protocol translation. |
Pinout & Package
AD976ABRSZRL is housed in a 28-lead Shrink Small Outline Package (SSOP), package code RS-28, 5.6 mm × 10.2 mm body, 0.65 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is located at bottom-left corner (marking dot adjacent), with pins numbered counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Analog input | Accepts ±10 V differential input referenced to AGND1; requires 200 Ω series resistor per datasheet Figure 5/6. |
| AGND1 | Analog ground (low-current) | Reference point for REF and VIN; must be isolated from high-current AGND2 and DGND to minimize ground bounce. |
| REF | Reference I/O | Supplies internal 2.5 V reference or accepts external 2.3–2.7 V source; requires 2.2 µF tantalum to AGND1. |
| CAP | Reference buffer output | Stabilizes internal reference; requires 2.2 µF tantalum to AGND2 per Figure 5/6. |
| AGND2 | Analog ground (high-current) | Return path for CAP capacitor; separate from AGND1 to decouple reference buffer noise. |
| D15–D0 | Parallel data outputs | 16-bit binary two's complement result; high-impedance when CS = HIGH or R/C = LOW. |
| BYTE | Data bus configuration | When LOW: D15 (MSB) on Pin 6, D0 (LSB) on Pin 22; when HIGH: top/bottom bytes swapped across two 8-bit groups. |
| R/C | Read/Convert control | Falling edge (≥50 ns) initiates conversion if CS = LOW; rising edge enables data output after BUSY goes HIGH. |
| CS | Chip select | OR'd internally with R/C; falling edge starts conversion if R/C = LOW, or enables output if R/C = HIGH. |
| BUSY | Conversion status | Active-low open-drain output; LOW during conversion, rising edge indicates valid data ready on bus. |
| VANA | Analog power supply | +5 V ±5% analog supply; must be filtered separately from VDIG to prevent digital noise coupling. |
| VDIG | Digital power supply | +5 V ±5% digital supply; powers logic core and interface; decoupling required near Pin 28. |
| DGND | Digital ground | Return for VDIG and digital I/O; connected to system digital ground plane, isolated from analog grounds. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Capacitor-array SAR architecture | Eliminates resistor-ladder thermal drift, ensuring stable INL over –40°C to +85°C without recalibration. |
| On-chip factory calibration ROM | Stores trimming coefficients for real-time correction of capacitor mismatch, offset, and gain errors per conversion. |
| Configurable reference mode | Supports internal 2.5 V reference or external 2.3–2.7 V source - enables flexibility in accuracy vs. power trade-offs. |
| Byte-selectable parallel interface | Enables 16-bit or dual 8-bit readout via BYTE pin, simplifying connection to 8-bit microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Overvoltage protection | Withstands ±25 V on VIN - protects against transient surges in industrial field wiring without external clamping. |
| Single-supply operation | Operates from one +5 V rail (VDIG = VANA = 5 V) - reduces BOM count and PCB complexity in space-constrained designs. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed integral nonlinearity (INL) specification for AD976ABRSZRL?
The AD976ABRSZRL is rated as B-grade, with guaranteed integral nonlinearity of ±2.0 LSB over –40°C to +85°C. This corresponds to ≤0.003% of full-scale error for ±10 V input range and ensures monotonic operation with no missing codes across all operating conditions specified in the AD976A datasheet Rev. D.
Does AD976ABRSZRL require an external clock source?
No, AD976ABRSZRL includes an on-chip clock generator and does not require an external clock. Conversion timing is controlled solely by the R/C and CS digital inputs per Figures 2 and 3 in the datasheet. The internal clock enables fully self-contained operation with no external timing components needed for basic functionality.
Can AD976ABRSZRL operate with an external reference voltage?
Yes, AD976ABRSZRL supports external reference operation: apply 2.3 V to 2.7 V to the REF pin while connecting a 2.2 µF tantalum capacitor between CAP and AGND2. When using external reference, full-scale input becomes ±4 × VREF, and specifications such as full-scale error drift change per Table "AD976A–SPECIFICATIONS" footnote 4.
What is the correct power supply sequencing for AD976ABRSZRL?
No strict power supply sequencing is required for AD976ABRSZRL. Both VANA and VDIG may be powered simultaneously from the same +5 V rail. However, Analog Devices recommends applying VANA before or concurrently with VDIG to ensure analog circuitry stabilizes prior to digital interface activation - especially during power-up reset sequences in embedded systems.
Is AD976ABRSZRL RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, AD976ABRSZRL is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The "Z" suffix in the part number denotes lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS-compliant packaging per Analog Devices' standard product marking convention and environmental compliance documentation dated 2025.
