Product details
Overview
ADT7318ARQZ-REEL 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/B/C/D), operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, and supports both I²C and SPI serial interfaces. It is used in thermal management systems for PC power regulation and embedded sensor calibration.
For engineers reviewing the ADT7318ARQZ-REEL datasheet, ADT7318ARQZ-REEL pinout, ADT7318ARQZ-REEL application, or ADT7318ARQZ-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed monotonic 8-bit DAC performance, internal 2.28 V reference option, simultaneous LDAC-triggered output update, and dual-interface flexibility for legacy and low-pin-count designs.
Technical Context
The ADT7318ARQZ-REEL integrates a 10-bit temperature-to-digital converter (0.25°C resolution) with four independent 8-bit DACs sharing two reference inputs (VREF-AB and VREF-CD). Its on-chip bandgap sensor digitizes die temperature, while external transistor sensing (via D+/D− pins) enables remote monitoring. The device supports round-robin measurement across VDD, internal temperature, and external temperature channels.
It implements double-buffered input logic and software/hardware LDAC control for synchronized DAC updates. Reference configuration supports buffered (1 V to VDD) or unbuffered (0.25 V to VDD) modes per DAC pair, and the rail-to-rail output amplifier ensures full-scale compliance across supply voltages. Power-down current is <10 μA, enabling battery-sensitive applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Temperature Accuracy | ±0.5°C (0°C to +85°C, VDD = 3.3 V ±10%), enabling precise thermal thresholding without external calibration. |
| DAC Resolution | 8 bits (ADT7318 variant), supporting 256 discrete output levels per channel for coarse but deterministic analog control. |
| DAC Output Settling Time | Typically 7 μs (1/4 to 3/4 scale), allowing rapid response in closed-loop feedback or dynamic bias adjustment. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V, compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V system rails without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Interface Support | I²C (fast-mode, 400 kHz) and 4-wire SPI (QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible), providing design flexibility across host controller types. |
| Power-Down Current | <10 μA, reducing quiescent load in sleep-mode systems such as portable instrumentation or standby controllers. |
| Reference Options | Internal 2.28 V ±0.0138 V or external reference via VREF-AB/VREF-CD pins, simplifying BOM by eliminating external reference ICs when precision allows. |
Pinout & Package
ADT7318ARQZ-REEL is housed in a 16-lead QSOP (Quarter-Size Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch and standard JEDEC MO-137AC footprint. The package is RoHS-compliant and qualified for industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +120°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT-A | Analog output of DAC A | Rail-to-rail buffered voltage source; drives loads up to 25 mA at 5 V, usable for biasing, calibration, or sensor excitation. |
| VOUT-B | Analog output of DAC B | Independent of VOUT-A; shares VREF-AB reference; supports matched dual-channel control (e.g., differential sensor bias). |
| VREF-AB | Reference input for DAC A and B | Selectable buffered/unbuffered mode; defines 0–2×VREF output range; decoupling required for noise-sensitive applications. |
| CS | SPI chip select | Active-low frame sync; must be held high during I²C operation to avoid bus contention. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Single-point connection point for all internal circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB return path to minimize noise coupling. |
| VDD | Positive supply rail | 2.7–5.5 V input; must be decoupled with ≥1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin to suppress switching transients. |
| D+ | External sensor positive terminal | Connects to collector of PNP transistor (e.g., 2N3906); enables remote temperature sensing up to 120°C. |
| D− | External sensor negative terminal | Connects to emitter of same PNP transistor; forms diode-connected junction for ΔVBE-based measurement. |
| LDAC | Load DAC active-low control | Falling-edge triggered; synchronizes all four DAC outputs simultaneously-critical for coordinated actuator control. |
| INT/INT | Over-limit interrupt output | Open-drain, polarity-configurable; asserts on VDD, internal, or external temperature limit violation; requires external pull-up. |
| DOUT/ADD | SPI data out / I²C address select | Dual-function: SPI serial output (falling-edge clocked) or I²C slave address bit (low/float/high = 0x48/0x4A/0x4B). |
| SDA/DIN | I²C data / SPI data in | Open-drain bidirectional I²C data line or SPI serial input (rising-edge clocked); shared pin mandates interface mode selection. |
| SCL/SCLK | I²C clock / SPI clock | Shared serial clock input; open-drain I²C mode requires pull-up; SPI mode uses edge-triggered timing per Figure 7. |
| VREF-CD | Reference input for DAC C and D | Independent of VREF-AB; enables split-reference architecture-for example, one pair for sensor bias, another for actuator drive. |
| VOUT-D | Analog output of DAC D | Final channel in quad set; identical specs to VOUT-A/B/C; supports independent control of fourth subsystem (e.g., fan speed, LED dimming). |
| VOUT-C | Analog output of DAC C | Paired with VOUT-D under VREF-CD; supports simultaneous update with LDAC; no crosstalk penalty beyond specified 200 μV DC error. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed monotonic DAC transfer | Ensures no code-dependent output reversal across full 8-bit range-critical for stable PID loop control and calibration ramps. |
| Simultaneous LDAC-triggered update | Enables atomic, glitch-free coordination of all four DAC outputs-essential for multi-axis motor bias or synchronized sensor excitation. |
| Integrated 10-bit temperature ADC | Delivers 0.25°C resolution and ±0.5°C accuracy (0°C to +85°C), eliminating need for external ADC in thermal monitoring subsystems. |
| Two independent reference domains | VREF-AB and VREF-CD allow isolated voltage scaling per DAC pair-supporting mixed-signal applications like dual-range sensor conditioning. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | Reduces current draw to <10 μA while preserving register state, enabling energy-efficient wake-on-event thermal supervision. |
| I²C + SPI dual-interface support | Eliminates interface redesign when migrating between microcontroller families-supports both resource-constrained I²C hosts and high-speed SPI controllers. |

FAQ
What is the temperature accuracy specification of the ADT7318ARQZ-REEL over its full operating range?
The ADT7318ARQZ-REEL achieves ±0.5°C accuracy over 0°C to +85°C at VDD = 3.3 V ±10%, and ±2°C to ±5°C over the full −40°C to +120°C range depending on supply voltage and averaging mode. This is measured using the internal bandgap sensor with on-chip 10-bit ADC and factory calibration.
Does the ADT7318ARQZ-REEL support simultaneous update of all four DAC outputs?
Yes, the ADT7318ARQZ-REEL supports simultaneous DAC output update via its LDAC (Load DAC) pin or software command. A falling edge on the LDAC pin transfers data from input registers to DAC registers atomically-ensuring glitch-free, coordinated behavior across VOUT-A, VOUT-B, VOUT-C, and VOUT-D.
Can the ADT7318ARQZ-REEL operate with only the internal reference, and what is its nominal value?
Yes, the ADT7318ARQZ-REEL includes an internal 2.28 V reference (2.2662 V to 2.2938 V, ±0.6% tolerance) that can be selected for DAC operation, eliminating the need for external reference components. This internal reference is used by default unless external references are applied to VREF-AB or VREF-CD pins.
What serial interfaces does the ADT7318ARQZ-REEL support, and are they mutually exclusive?
The ADT7318ARQZ-REEL supports both I²C (fast-mode, 400 kHz) and 4-wire SPI (QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible) on shared pins. Interface selection is hardware-determined: CS high enables I²C mode; CS low enables SPI mode. They are mutually exclusive per power-on cycle and require no firmware reconfiguration.
How does the ADT7318ARQZ-REEL handle external temperature sensing, and what transistor is recommended?
The ADT7318ARQZ-REEL supports external temperature sensing via D+ and D− pins using a PNP transistor junction (e.g., 2N3906). It measures ΔVBE across the transistor to derive temperature, achieving ±3°C accuracy from 0°C to +85°C. The device handles bias current generation and ADC conversion internally-no external current source required.
