Product details
Overview
AD977AR-REEL from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 100 kSPS successive-approximation ADC operating from a single 5 V supply, featuring internal 2.5 V reference, high-speed serial interface, and 20-lead SOIC package. It supports ±10 V, ±5 V, ±3.3 V bipolar and 0 V–10 V/5 V/4 V unipolar input ranges, with 100 mW max power dissipation and 50 µW power-down mode - used in precision industrial data acquisition and process control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD977AR-REEL datasheet, AD977AR-REEL pinout, AD977AR-REEL application, or AD977AR-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include throughput rate (100 kSPS), INL (±3 LSB), SNR (83 dB), full-power bandwidth (700 kHz), and compatibility with external or internal reference configurations in single-supply embedded measurement systems.
Technical Context
The AD977AR-REEL implements a factory-calibrated switched-capacitor SAR architecture with on-chip clock generation and serial output timing controlled by R/C and CS signals. Its conversion control logic supports both internal DATACLK generation and external clock synchronization via EXT/INT pin, enabling flexible microprocessor interfacing.
It integrates dual analog/digital ground separation (AGND1, AGND2, DGND), dedicated reference buffer (CAP pin), and configurable data format (Binary Two's Complement or Straight Binary via SB/BTC). Power-down mode retains the last conversion result in the shift register while reducing consumption to 50 µW.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 16-bit - delivers 305 µV LSB step size for ±10 V full-scale range, enabling sub-millivolt measurement resolution. |
| Throughput Rate | 100 kSPS - completes one full conversion cycle every 10 µs, suitable for medium-speed sensor monitoring. |
| INL (Max) | ±3 LSB - ensures monotonicity and ≤0.046% full-scale linearity error across temperature, critical for calibration-critical instrumentation. |
| SNR | 83 dB (typ) - supports >13.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) at 20 kHz input, meeting high-fidelity signal capture needs. |
| Power Dissipation | 100 mW max - enables thermally constrained designs without forced cooling in industrial enclosures. |
| Reference | Internal 2.5 V ±2% (2.48 V–2.52 V) - eliminates need for external reference IC unless higher accuracy or drift performance is required. |
| Input Ranges | Configurable bipolar (±10 V, ±5 V, ±3.3 V) and unipolar (0 V–10 V, 0 V–5 V, 0 V–4 V) - simplifies front-end design across diverse sensor types. |
Pinout & Package
AD977AR-REEL is housed in a 20-lead skinny SOIC (SOIC_N) package with standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint (7.5 mm × 12.8 mm, 1.27 mm pitch). Pin functions are electrically validated per Analog Devices Rev. E datasheet Figure 3 and Table 6.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| R1IN, R2IN, R3IN | Analog Input Terminals | Three dedicated inputs supporting programmable gain/resistor-network configuration for bipolar/unipolar range selection per Table 8. |
| AGND1, AGND2 | Analog Ground References | Separate ground pins isolate reference buffer (AGND1) and analog core (AGND2); mandatory 0.3 V max potential difference for accuracy. |
| CAP | Reference Buffer Output | Requires 2.2 µF tantalum capacitor to AGND1 to stabilize internal reference; omission causes reference drift and INL degradation. |
| REF | Reference I/O | Supplies internal 2.5 V reference or accepts external 2.3–2.7 V source; must be decoupled with 2.2 µF to AGND2. |
| SB/BTC | Data Format Select | LOW = Two's complement output (bipolar-friendly); HIGH = Straight binary (unipolar-aligned); sets DATA encoding before conversion start. |
| EXT/INT | Serial Clock Mode Control | LOW = internal DATACLK generation; HIGH = external DATACLK sync; determines timing relationship between BUSY and DATA valid windows. |
| DATACLK | Serial Clock I/O | Output when EXT/INT = LOW (16 pulses per conversion); input when EXT/INT = HIGH - must meet t12 ≤ 100 ns period for AD977 operation. |
| DATA | Serial Data Output | MSB-first 16-bit stream synchronized to DATACLK edges; holds TAG state between conversions when using internal clock mode. |
| BUSY | Conversion Status Flag | Active-low open-drain output; LOW during conversion (≤8 µs for AD977); used for handshaking with FPGA/microcontroller read logic. |
| PWRD | Power-Down Enable | Logic HIGH disables conversion and reduces current draw to 10 µA; previous result remains latched in shift register for immediate readout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-Calibrated SAR Core | Eliminates field calibration for offset/gain/linearity; guarantees ±3 LSB INL and ±2 LSB DNL across –40°C to +85°C without user trimming. |
| Single 5 V Supply Operation | Reduces BOM count and PCB area by removing dual-rail supplies; supports VANA and VDIG tied together with separate AGND/DGND routing. |
| High-Speed Serial Interface | 16-bit MSB-first output with dual-edge DATA valid (rising/falling DATACLK) doubles effective data rate without increasing clock frequency. |
| Flexible Reference Architecture | Internal 2.5 V reference (±2 mV initial error) or external 2.3–2.7 V source - allows trade-off between cost (internal) and long-term stability (external). |
| Low-Power Power-Down Mode | 50 µW standby consumption enables battery-backed data loggers to maintain multi-year operation between wake cycles. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-16 | 8-channel simultaneous sampling, 1 MSPS, integrated analog front-end (PGA, antialiasing filter), 5 V supply, SPI interface only. | Replaces discrete multiplexer + ADC solutions; requires no external signal conditioning for ±10 V inputs. | Select AD7606C-16 when multi-channel synchronized acquisition and reduced system-level component count outweigh single-channel throughput requirements. |
| LTC2311-16 | Single-ended input only, 250 kSPS, 3.3 V supply, no internal reference, lower power (35 mW), smaller 10-lead MSOP package. | Suitable for space-constrained, low-voltage embedded systems where bipolar input and internal reference are not required. | Choose LTC2311-16 for portable battery-powered instruments needing 16-bit resolution at 3.3 V with minimal board area. |
Compared with AD977AR-REEL, AD7606C-16 offers channel density and integrated signal chain but lacks standalone flexibility and internal clocking; LTC2311-16 trades bipolar capability and reference integration for lower voltage operation and compact packaging - neither is pin-compatible, and all require distinct layout and firmware adaptation.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the AD977AR-REEL?
The AD977AR-REEL supports a maximum throughput rate of 100 kSPS, corresponding to a complete conversion cycle time of 10 µs. This is confirmed in the AD977–Specifications table (Rev. E, p.3) and applies to all grade versions (A/B/C) across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. The AD977AR-REEL is distinct from the faster AD977A variant, which achieves 200 kSPS.
Does the AD977AR-REEL include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD977AR-REEL integrates a factory-trimmed 2.5 V internal reference with ±2% initial tolerance (2.48 V to 2.52 V) and ±2 ppm/°C drift over temperature. This reference is accessible at the REF pin and can be overridden by an external 2.3–2.7 V source. The CAP pin requires a 2.2 µF tantalum capacitor to AGND1 to ensure stability, as specified in the Pin Function Descriptions section.
How does the power-down mode function on the AD977AR-REEL?
When the PWRD pin is driven HIGH, the AD977AR-REEL enters power-down mode, reducing supply current to ≤10 µA and total power dissipation to 50 µW. Conversion is inhibited, but the previously acquired 16-bit result remains latched in the internal shift register and is accessible via the serial interface. Recovery to full accuracy takes ≤1 ms after PWRD returns LOW, provided the 2.2 µF CAP capacitor is correctly installed.
What are the supported analog input configurations for the AD977AR-REEL?
The AD977AR-REEL supports six factory-configured input ranges: bipolar ±10 V, ±5 V, ±3.3 V and unipolar 0 V–10 V, 0 V–5 V, and 0 V–4 V. These are selected using external resistor networks connected to R1IN/R2IN/R3IN pins as detailed in Tables 7 and 8 of the datasheet. Input impedance and sampling capacitance (40 pF) are fixed across all ranges.
Is the AD977AR-REEL pin-compatible with other devices in the AD977 family?
No, the AD977AR-REEL is not pin-compatible with the AD977A or AD977 variants in different packages. While all share identical 20-lead SOIC pinouts, the AD977AR-REEL is specifically rated for 100 kSPS operation and corresponds to the AD977 (not AD977A) silicon. The AD977A uses the same pinout but has tighter AC specs and faster timing - substituting it requires validation of t6 (conversion time ≤4.0 µs) and t7 (acquisition time ≤2.0 µs) margins in the target system.
