AD7893BR-10

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The AD7893BR-10 is a 12-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) fabricated in Analog Devices' LC2MOS process. It operates from a single +5 V supply and features an on-chip track/hold amplifier, internal clock, and high-speed serial interface. The device accepts a bipolar analog input range of ±10 V with a maximum conversion time of 6 μs and a throughput rate up to 117 kHz. Key electrical specifications include a typical power dissipation of 25 mW, a signal-to-noise ratio of 72 dB, and relative accuracy of ±1/2 LSB. It is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package and supports an operating temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BR-10 against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure the external reference voltage matches the required +2.5 V specification for optimal performance. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the target assembly.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, 12-bit resolution is required with a ±10 V input range. Compare the 72 dB SNR and ±1/2 LSB linearity against system noise floors. Consider the 8-pin SOIC footprint constraints and verify that the serial interface timing meets the host processor's speed requirements.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

The AD7893 series includes variants with different input ranges: AD7893-2 (0 V to +2.5 V), AD7893-3 (±2.5 V), AD7893-5 (0 V to +5 V), and AD7893-10 (±10 V). The BR suffix indicates a B-grade version with improved linearity compared to the A-grade AN/AR versions. All variants share the same pinout and core architecture.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the AD7893 family include AD7893AN-10 or AD7893AR-10 for similar functionality with potentially different linearity grades. Cross-family replacements require verifying pin compatibility and serial interface protocols.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) FAQ
