Product details
Overview
AD976ABRZRL from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 200 kSPS BiCMOS successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal 2.5 V reference, ±10 V analog input range, and high-speed parallel interface. It operates from a single 5 V supply, dissipates ≤100 mW, and delivers 85 dB signal-to-(noise + distortion) at 45 kHz input - suited for precision data acquisition in industrial instrumentation and automated test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AD976ABRZRL datasheet, AD976ABRZRL pinout, AD976ABRZRL application, or AD976ABRZRL equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed AC/DC specifications, real-world application mappings, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for system-level design continuity.
Technical Context
The AD976ABRZRL uses a switched-capacitor SAR architecture with on-chip laser-trimmed capacitor array calibration, eliminating external sample-and-hold circuitry and minimizing temperature-induced linearity drift. Its factory-calibrated internal reference and digital timing logic enable deterministic 5 µs conversion cycles.
It implements a binary two's complement parallel output interface with BYTE-selectable 16-bit or dual-byte mode, BUSY-driven data latching, and R/C+CS dual-control timing - supporting direct interfacing to DSPs and microcontrollers without glue logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 305 µV LSB step size over ±10 V full-scale range. |
| Throughput Rate | 200 kSPS - enables real-time sampling of signals up to 700 kHz full-power bandwidth. |
| S/(N+D) | 85 dB at 45 kHz - corresponds to ~14.2 effective number of bits (ENOB) in typical operation. |
| INL (B-Grade) | ±2 LSB - ensures monotonicity and <0.003% full-scale linearity error across –40°C to +85°C. |
| Power Dissipation | 100 mW max - supports thermally constrained embedded systems with single 5 V rail. |
| Analog Input Range | ±10 V - matches standard industrial sensor outputs and PLC I/O levels without external scaling. |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V ±0.02 V - eliminates need for external voltage reference IC or trimming network. |
Pinout & Package
AD976ABRZRL is housed in a 28-lead SOIC package (R-28), 7.6 mm × 17.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not present. Pin numbering follows standard SOIC top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Analog input | ±10 V bipolar input node; requires 200 Ω series resistor per datasheet Figure 5/6 for optimal linearity. |
| REF | Reference I/O | Provides internal 2.5 V reference or accepts external 2.3–2.7 V source; must be decoupled to AGND1 with 2.2 µF tantalum. |
| CAP | Reference buffer output | Stabilizes internal reference; requires 2.2 µF tantalum to AGND2 per functional description. |
| D15–D0 | Parallel data bus | 16-bit two's complement output; high-impedance when CS = HIGH or R/C = LOW; BYTE controls MSB/LSB byte order. |
| R/C | Read/Convert control | Falling edge initiates conversion; rising edge enables data output; minimum pulse width 50 ns. |
| CS | Chip select | OR'd with R/C; falling edge triggers conversion or data enable depending on R/C state; enables Hi-Z output when HIGH. |
| BUSY | Status indicator | Active-low open-drain output; goes LOW at conversion start and returns HIGH after data latching (~4 µs for AD976A). |
| VANA / VDIG | Power supplies | Separate 5 V analog/digital rails; require independent 0.1 µF + 2.2 µF decoupling; max 11 mA / 3 mA quiescent current. |
| AGND1 / AGND2 / DGND | Ground terminals | AGND1 references REF; AGND2 references CAP; DGND isolated for digital noise rejection; all must tie at single point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip calibrated capacitor array | Eliminates external S/H and resistor-ladder trimming; maintains ±2 LSB INL over temperature without recalibration. |
| Internal 2.5 V reference | Drift ≤7 ppm/°C; enables self-contained 16-bit conversion chain without external reference IC or layout-sensitive routing. |
| Byte-selectable parallel interface | BYTE pin toggles between full 16-bit bus (Pins 6–22) and split 8-bit mode (Pins 6–13 & 15–22), easing FPGA/microcontroller data bus alignment. |
| Overvoltage recovery | 150 ns recovery after 2× full-scale (±20 V) transient - protects against sensor fault conditions without data corruption. |
| Single 5 V supply operation | Reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. dual-supply ADCs; meets industrial 5 V rail standards with ≤100 mW total dissipation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1 MSPS, SPI interface, no internal reference, 1.8 V supply only. | Requires external reference and level-shifting for 5 V systems; better for battery-powered portable instruments. | Select when higher speed and lower power are critical, and system already uses SPI infrastructure. |
| MAX11900ETJ+ | 16-bit, 500 kSPS, internal 2.5 V reference, 5 V supply, serial LVDS output. | LVDS interface reduces EMI in noisy environments but requires differential receiver; lacks BYTE pin flexibility. | Prefer for high-density PCBs where noise immunity outweighs parallel bus simplicity and cost. |
Compared with ADS8860IDRCT and MAX11900ETJ+, the AD976ABRZRL offers native 5 V parallel interfacing, integrated reference, and deterministic BUSY timing - making it optimal for legacy industrial controllers and FPGA-based systems where minimal firmware overhead and proven reliability are prioritized over raw speed or ultra-low power.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed integral nonlinearity (INL) specification for AD976ABRZRL?
The AD976ABRZRL is rated as a B-grade device with ±2 LSB maximum integral nonlinearity error over –40°C to +85°C, as specified in the AD976A B-Grade column of the official datasheet Rev. D. This corresponds to <0.003% full-scale error and ensures monotonic behavior across its entire 16-bit transfer function without missing codes.
Does AD976ABRZRL require an external reference, or does it include one internally?
The AD976ABRZRL includes a factory-calibrated internal 2.5 V reference (2.48 V to 2.52 V) that can be used directly - eliminating the need for external reference components. It also supports external reference inputs from 2.3 V to 2.7 V, but the internal reference is fully functional and optimized for the device's linearity and drift performance.
How is the analog input range configured for AD976ABRZRL?
The AD976ABRZRL has a fixed ±10 V analog input range when using the internal 2.5 V reference, as defined by its ±4×VREF architecture. No configuration pins or registers adjust this range; it is set by internal laser-trimmed resistors and remains stable across temperature and supply variations.
What package type and lead count does AD976ABRZRL use?
The AD976ABRZRL is supplied in a 28-lead small outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package, designated R-28 in Analog Devices' ordering guide. It measures 7.6 mm × 17.9 mm with 1.27 mm lead pitch and is RoHS-compliant with matte tin lead finish.
Can AD976ABRZRL operate with a 3.3 V digital supply instead of 5 V?
No - AD976ABRZRL requires both VANA and VDIG to be supplied with 4.75 V to 5.25 V. Its digital interface (VIH = +2.0 V to VDIG + 0.3 V, VOL = +0.4 V) and internal logic are designed exclusively for 5 V operation; applying 3.3 V will result in undefined behavior and failure to meet AC/DC specifications.
