AD7951BCPZ

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The AD7951BCPZ is a 14-bit, 1 MSPS PulSAR® analog-to-digital converter (ADC) fabricated on Analog Devices' iCMOS process. It features a successive approximation register architecture with no pipeline delay. The device supports multiple pins or software-programmable input ranges of 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V. Throughput reaches 1 MSPS in warp mode, 800 kSPS in normal mode, and 670 kSPS in impulse mode. It includes an internal 5 V reference with ±3 ppm/°C drift and a temperature output pin. Power dissipation is 235 mW at 1 MSPS with the internal reference enabled, dropping to 10 µW in power-down mode. The component is available in 48-lead LQFP and LFCSP packages.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BCPZ corresponds to the 48-lead LFCSP package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the ordering code matches the required thermal performance specifications for the target application environment. Ensure compatibility with the host system's voltage levels for the OVDD supply domain before integration.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring true bipolar input ranges without external scaling circuitry. Consider the warp mode for maximum throughput requirements where continuous conversion is necessary. Evaluate the impulse mode if power consumption must be scaled relative to the sampling rate. Verify that the 14-bit resolution meets the system accuracy requirements regarding integral nonlinearity and signal-to-noise ratio.
