Product details
Overview
ADT7518ARQZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a highly integrated mixed-signal IC combining a 10-bit temperature-to-digital converter, a 10-bit 4-channel ADC, and four 8-bit buffered voltage-output DACs in a single 16-lead QSOP package. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, delivers ±0.5°C internal temperature accuracy (0°C to +85°C), supports both SPI and I²C interfaces, and features simultaneous DAC output update via LDAC. It is used in smart battery chargers and telecom system monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the ADT7518ARQZ-REEL datasheet, ADT7518ARQZ-REEL pinout, ADT7518ARQZ-REEL application, or ADT7518ARQZ-REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-interface compatibility, on-chip 2.25 V reference, rail-to-rail DAC output capability, 0 V to 2.25 V ADC input range, and guaranteed monotonic DAC transfer function across all codes.
Technical Context
The ADT7518ARQZ-REEL integrates three independent data conversion subsystems: a bandgap-based 10-bit temperature sensor with 0.25°C resolution, a 10-bit successive-approximation ADC supporting four single-ended analog inputs (AIN1–AIN4), and four independent string DACs with double-buffered registers and on-chip rail-to-rail output amplifiers. All subsystems share a common serial interface controller.
Its dual-mode serial interface supports 4-wire SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP protocols and 2-wire SMBus/I²C with PEC error checking; the ADD pin selects one of three I²C addresses (1001000b, 1001010b, or 1001011b). Power-down mode reduces current to 1 µA, and power-on reset ensures DAC outputs initialize to 0 V.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ADT7518ARQZ-REEL is housed in a 16-lead QSOP (Quarter-Size Outline Package) with 0.65 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant, and rated for –40°C to +120°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| CS, SCL/SCLK, SDA/DIN, DOUT/ADD | Serial interface signals | Configurable for SPI (4-wire) or I²C (2-wire); ADD pin sets I²C address; open-drain pins require pull-ups |
| LDAC/AIN3 | DAC update control / ADC input | Active-low LDAC enables simultaneous DAC register update; configurable as AIN3 when LDAC disabled |
| INT/INT | Interrupt output | Open-drain over-limit alert (temperature/VDD/AIN thresholds); polarity programmable |
| GND, VDD | Power supply | Single-supply operation; analog/digital ground shared; decoupling required at VDD pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous DAC update | LDAC pin or software command forces synchronized output change across all four DACs - critical for coordinated actuator control |
| Guaranteed monotonic DAC | Monotonicity ensured over full 0–255 code range - eliminates step reversals in closed-loop feedback paths |
| Internal temperature sensor | 10-bit resolution (0.25°C step) with ±0.5°C accuracy (0°C to +85°C) - enables self-monitoring without external components |
| Double-buffered DAC registers | Input registers accept new data while DAC registers hold previous values - prevents glitches during streaming updates |
| SMBus packet error checking | PEC support on I²C interface - improves reliability in noisy industrial bus environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar mixed-signal monitoring and control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADT7519ARQZ-REEL | Removes ADT7518ARQZ-REEL's limitation where internal temperature accuracy degrades when internal DAC reference is enabled; offers identical pinout and interface | Preferred for new designs requiring simultaneous high-accuracy temperature sensing and DAC operation | Select ADT7519ARQZ-REEL when internal 2.25 V reference must be used for DACs without sacrificing temperature accuracy |
| MAX1272EEE+ | 8-channel 12-bit ADC with internal reference and SPI interface only; no DAC or temperature sensor | Suitable for higher-resolution analog acquisition where DAC or thermal sensing is handled separately | Choose MAX1272EEE+ when ADC resolution >10 bits is required and DAC/temperature functions are implemented externally |
Compared with ADT7518ARQZ-REEL, ADT7519ARQZ-REEL removes a critical functional constraint-enabling concurrent use of the internal reference and high-accuracy temperature measurement-while maintaining full compatibility; MAX1272EEE+ trades integration for higher ADC resolution but requires additional components to replicate ADT7518ARQZ-REEL's mixed-signal functionality.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the ADT7518ARQZ-REEL?
The ADT7518ARQZ-REEL is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +120°C. Its internal temperature sensor achieves ±0.5°C typical accuracy within 0°C to +85°C, and ±2°C to ±5°C across the full range depending on supply voltage and configuration. This makes ADT7518ARQZ-REEL suitable for harsh-environment applications including industrial motor controls and automotive under-hood modules.
Does the ADT7518ARQZ-REEL support both SPI and I²C interfaces simultaneously?
No, the ADT7518ARQZ-REEL supports SPI and I²C modes independently - not concurrently. Interface selection is determined by how the CS pin is driven: CS held high enables I²C mode (using SDA/SCL), while CS pulsed low activates SPI mode (using DIN/DOUT/SCLK). The same physical pins serve dual roles, so system design must commit to one protocol per implementation. ADT7518ARQZ-REEL does not arbitrate between buses or switch dynamically.
What is the purpose of the LDAC pin on the ADT7518ARQZ-REEL?
The LDAC/AIN3 pin on the ADT7518ARQZ-REEL serves as an active-low hardware latch enabling simultaneous update of all four DAC outputs. When pulsed low, it transfers data from input registers to DAC registers, ensuring glitch-free, synchronized analog output changes - essential for multi-axis control systems. If disabled via Control Configuration 3 register, the pin reverts to AIN3 analog input. ADT7518ARQZ-REEL also supports software-triggered LDAC via command register write.
Can the ADT7518ARQZ-REEL measure external temperature using a transistor sensor?
Yes, the ADT7518ARQZ-REEL supports external temperature measurement using a standard NPN or PNP bipolar transistor (e.g., 2N3906) connected to D+/AIN1 and D–/AIN2 pins. It applies a proportional current source and measures the VBE delta to compute temperature. External accuracy is ±3°C (0°C to +85°C) at 3.3 V supply. This capability extends ADT7518ARQZ-REEL beyond on-die sensing to remote hot-spot monitoring in power supplies or PCBs.
What is the DAC output settling time specification for the ADT7518ARQZ-REEL?
The ADT7518ARQZ-REEL specifies a typical DAC output settling time of 6 µs to 8 µs (1/4-scale to 3/4-scale step, VREF = VDD = 5 V). This fast settling enables high-speed closed-loop control - for example, updating heater drive voltage every ~100 µs in real-time thermal regulation. Settling time remains consistent across all four DAC channels and is guaranteed independent of code transition magnitude due to its string DAC architecture.
