Product details
Overview
ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is an integrated digital temperature sensor and quad 8-bit voltage-output DAC in a single 16-lead QSOP package. It delivers ±0.5°C temperature accuracy over −40°C to +120°C, features four buffered rail-to-rail analog outputs (VOUT-A to VOUT-D), operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, and supports both I²C and SPI interfaces. It is used in thermal management systems where precise local temperature monitoring and programmable biasing of analog circuitry are required.
For engineers reviewing the ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 datasheet, ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 pinout, ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 application, or ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation guidance, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and interface differences.
Technical Context
The ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 integrates a 10-bit internal temperature-to-digital converter (0.25°C resolution) and four independent 8-bit DACs sharing dual reference inputs (VREF-AB for DACs A/B, VREF-CD for DACs C/D). Its dual serial interface supports I²C (with PEC) and 4-wire SPI, enabling flexible host integration in space-constrained embedded systems.
Each DAC includes double-buffered input logic, simultaneous update via LDAC pin or software command, and on-chip rail-to-rail output amplifiers. Power-down current is <10 μA, and power-on reset ensures all DAC outputs initialize to 0 V-critical for safe startup in bias control applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature Accuracy | ±0.5°C (0°C to +85°C, VDD = 3.3 V ±10%) - enables direct replacement of thermistors without calibration in mid-range thermal monitoring. |
| DAC Resolution | 8 bits - supports 256 discrete output levels per channel, sufficient for coarse gain/offset trimming and LED bias control. |
| DAC Output Settling Time | 6–8 μs (1/4 to 3/4 scale) - allows rapid reconfiguration of analog setpoints in closed-loop thermal feedback systems. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Interface Support | I²C (fast-mode, 400 kHz) and SPI (4-wire) - eliminates need for protocol translation in mixed-bus designs. |
| Power-Down Current | <10 μA - extends battery life in portable instruments during idle periods. |
| Reference Options | Internal 2.28 V or external VREF (buffered/unbuffered) - simplifies BOM by removing external reference ICs in cost-sensitive designs. |
Pinout & Package
ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 is housed in a 16-lead QSOP (Quarter-Size Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch and exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation with Pin 1 at bottom-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT-A | DAC A analog output | Rail-to-rail buffered voltage source; drives loads up to 25 mA at 5 V supply - suitable for op-amp reference or bias node control. |
| VOUT-B | DAC B analog output | Independent buffered output; shares VREF-AB with DAC A - enables matched dual-channel biasing (e.g., differential amplifier offset). |
| VREF-AB | Reference input for DACs A & B | Configurable buffered/unbuffered input; 1 V to VDD (buffered) or 0.25 V to VDD (unbuffered) - allows shared precision reference with low noise coupling. |
| CS | SPI chip select | Active-low frame sync; must be held high in I²C mode - prevents accidental SPI activation when using 2-wire interface. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground | Single common reference point for all internal circuitry - requires star grounding to minimize noise coupling between DAC and ADC sections. |
| VDD | Positive supply | 2.7 V–5.5 V operation; decoupling capacitor mandatory - powers both temperature sensor and DACs from one rail. |
| D+ | External temp sensor (+) | Connects to collector of external PNP transistor (e.g., 2N3906) - enables remote die temperature sensing beyond package limits. |
| D− | External temp sensor (−) | Connects to emitter of external PNP transistor - forms diode-connected junction for remote sensing with ±5°C accuracy. |
| LDAC | Load DAC control | Active-low synchronous update trigger; 20 ns minimum pulse width - ensures deterministic timing for simultaneous multi-DAC output changes. |
| INT/INT | Over-limit interrupt | Open-drain output; polarity configurable via register - signals thermal or supply-voltage fault conditions without polling overhead. |
| DOUT/ADD | SPI data out / I²C address | Dual-function pin: SPI serial output (falling-edge clocked) or I²C address selection (low/float/high) - enables hardware-selectable I²C address in multi-device buses. |
| SDA/DIN | I²C data / SPI data in | Open-drain bidirectional I²C data line or SPI serial input (rising-edge clocked) - supports both protocols without external multiplexing. |
| SCL/SCLK | I²C clock / SPI clock | Shared clock input for both interfaces; open-drain with pull-up - reduces pin count while maintaining timing compliance for both standards. |
| VREF-CD | Reference input for DACs C & D | Independent reference path from VREF-AB - permits separate scaling for two DAC pairs (e.g., different gain stages or sensor excitation). |
| VOUT-D | DAC D analog output | Buffered rail-to-rail output; shares VREF-CD with DAC C - supports independent control of auxiliary analog functions (e.g., fan speed, heater drive). |
| VOUT-C | DAC C analog output | Buffered rail-to-rail output; complements VOUT-D for dual-channel control - enables coordinated biasing of complementary circuits (e.g., push-pull drivers). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 10-bit temperature sensor | Delivers 0.25°C resolution and ±0.5°C accuracy (0°C to +85°C), eliminating need for external sensor and ADC in compact thermal monitoring nodes. |
| Quad 8-bit buffered DACs | Four independent rail-to-rail outputs with 6–8 μs settling time - enables simultaneous control of multiple analog subsystems (e.g., VCO tuning, amplifier bias, LED current). |
| Dual serial interface (I²C/SPI) | Single device supports both 2-wire and 4-wire protocols with no hardware change - reduces firmware complexity and PCB routing in mixed-protocol systems. |
| Simultaneous DAC update (LDAC) | Hardware or software-triggered synchronized output update across all four channels - prevents transient mismatches in multi-point analog control loops. |
| Power-on reset to 0 V | All DAC outputs default to 0 V at power-up - prevents uncontrolled analog states during boot, critical for safety-critical biasing applications. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | <10 μA quiescent current in power-down - extends operational lifetime in battery-powered test equipment and portable instrumentation. |

FAQ
What is the temperature accuracy specification of the ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 over its full operating range?
The ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 achieves ±0.5°C accuracy over 0°C to +85°C at VDD = 3.3 V ±10%, ±2°C accuracy from −40°C to +120°C under same conditions, and ±3°C accuracy at VDD = 5 V ±5% across the full range. These values are measured using the internal bandgap sensor with averaging enabled and reflect actual production-tested performance-not typical-only specifications.
Does the ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 support simultaneous update of all four DAC outputs?
Yes, the ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 supports simultaneous DAC output updates via its LDAC pin (hardware trigger) or through software command (LDAC function in control registers). This ensures deterministic, glitch-free coordinated changes across VOUT-A through VOUT-D - essential for maintaining signal integrity in multi-channel analog control systems.
Can the ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 operate with only the internal reference, and what is its nominal value?
Yes, the ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 includes an internal 2.28 V reference (2.2662 V min, 2.2938 V max) that can be selected for DAC operation, eliminating the need for external reference components. When enabled, this reference drives both VREF-AB and VREF-CD pins internally, simplifying design and reducing BOM count for cost-sensitive applications.
What are the supported serial interface modes for the ADT7318ARQ-REEL7, and how are they selected?
The ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 supports I²C (fast-mode, 400 kHz) and 4-wire SPI. Interface selection is automatic: I²C activates when CS is held high and SDA/SCL are used; SPI activates when CS is actively driven low and DIN/DOUT/SCLK are used. No configuration register setting is required - hardware pin states determine protocol behavior.
Is the ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 pin-compatible with other members of the ADT7316/ADT7317/ADT7318 family?
Yes, the ADT7318ARQ-REEL7 is fully pin-compatible with ADT7316ARQ-REEL7 and ADT7317ARQ-REEL7 in the same 16-lead QSOP package. All share identical pinout, power requirements, interface signaling, and register map - enabling drop-in resolution upgrades (8-bit → 10-bit → 12-bit) without PCB redesign or firmware changes.
