AD7980BCPZ-RL7 Overview
An ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) is an electronic component that converts continuous analog signals into discrete digital values. The AD7980 belongs to the PulSAR family of SAR ADCs, which are known for their high precision, low power, and fast sampling rates. SAR ADCs are widely used in data acquisition systems, industrial process control, medical instrumentation, and portable devices where accuracy and speed are critical.
Key features of the AD7980 include 16-bit resolution with no missing codes, a maximum INL of ±1.25 LSB, and a SINAD of dB at 10 kHz. The device supports a pseudo-differential analog input range from 0 V to VREF, with VREF applied externally and independent of VDD. Power dissipation scales linearly with throughput, making it efficient for low-speed applications.
The AD7980 uses a charge redistribution SAR architecture, which provides excellent linearity and low noise. The SPI-compatible serial interface supports daisy-chaining multiple ADCs on a single 3-wire bus and includes an optional busy indicator. The device can interface with any 1.8 V to 5 V digital logic family, offering flexibility in system design.
Typical applications include battery-powered instruments, data acquisition systems, industrial process control, and medical devices. The low power dissipation and small package make it ideal for portable and high-density designs.
When designing with the AD7980, ensure that the reference voltage (REF) is stable and well-decoupled, as it directly affects conversion accuracy. The analog input should be driven by a low-impedance source to maintain the specified performance.

Key Differentiators
- Pin-compatible with 18-bit AD7982 (vs AD7980BCPZ-RL)
- Low power dissipation scaling with throughput (vs AD7680BRMZ)
- Compact 3x3 mm LFCSP package (vs AD7980BRMZ-RL7)
Design Notes
The AD7980BCPZ-RL7 operates from a single VDD supply (2.3V to 5.5V). Decouple VDD with a 10uF ceramic capacitor and a 0.1uF capacitor close to the pin. The reference voltage (REF) should be decoupled with a 10uF capacitor to ensure stability and low noise, as it directly affects conversion accuracy.
For optimal performance, place the AD7980BCPZ-RL7 close to the signal source and keep analog input traces short and shielded. Use a solid ground plane and avoid routing digital signals near the analog input. The LFCSP package has an exposed pad that should be soldered to the ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
Ensure the analog input source impedance is low enough to drive the ADC's sampling capacitor. A high-impedance source can cause settling errors. Use an op-amp buffer if necessary. Also, avoid exceeding the absolute maximum ratings on any pin, and ensure the reference voltage is within the specified range to prevent damage.
