Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The AD7302BRZ and AD7302BR-REEL7 are functionally equivalent dual 8-bit voltage-output DACs from Analog Devices, differing only in packaging format (tube vs. tape-and-reel). Both share identical die, electrical specifications, and 20-lead SOIC footprint, making them interchangeable for design and qualification purposes; the choice between them is purely a matter of assembly and inventory handling preference.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | AD7302BRZ | AD7302BR-REEL7 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 8 bit | 8 bit | Determines the number of discrete output levels; both parts provide identical DAC resolution, so substitutability is unaffected. |
| Number of DAC Channels | 2 | 2 | Channel count must match the system's analog output requirements; both are dual-channel devices. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V | 2.7 V to 5.5 V | Defines compatibility with the system power rail; identical ranges ensure the parts are interchangeable in the same supply environment. |
| Interface Type | Parallel | Parallel | The digital interface must match the host controller; both use a parallel interface, preserving board-level compatibility. |
| Package / Case | 20-SOIC | 20-SOIC | Footprint and package must match for drop-in replacement; both are 20-lead SOIC devices. |
| Mounting Type | Surface Mount | Surface Mount | Assembly method must be compatible with the PCB process; both are surface-mount parts. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40 °C to +105 °C | -40 °C to +105 °C | Ensures the device operates reliably in the target environment; identical ranges mean no thermal derating differences. |
| Packaging / Delivery Form | Tube | Tape & Reel | Affects manufacturing handling and pick-and-place automation; the reel version suits high-volume automated assembly while the tube version suits low-volume or prototyping. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the AD7302BRZ and AD7302BR-REEL7?
Both are dual 8-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) from Analog Devices. The AD7302BRZ is supplied in a 20-lead SOIC tube package, while the AD7302BR-REEL7 is the same device supplied in a 20-lead SOIC tape-and-reel package for automated assembly.
Are the AD7302BRZ and AD7302BR-REEL7 electrically identical?
Yes. Both part numbers refer to the same AD7302 silicon in the same 20-lead SOIC (R-20) package with the same specifications, including 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply range, 8-bit resolution, and a parallel interface. The only difference is the packaging format: tube (BRZ) versus tape-and-reel (BR-REEL7).
What is the difference between the BRZ and BR-REEL7 suffixes?
The "Z" suffix in AD7302BRZ denotes RoHS-compliant lead-free construction. The "REEL7" suffix in AD7302BR-REEL7 denotes tape-and-reel packaging, typically 750 units per 7-inch reel. Both are RoHS-compliant; the distinction is the shipping format.
Can AD7302BRZ and AD7302BR-REEL7 be used interchangeably in a design?
Yes. Because both are the same die in the same 20-lead SOIC package with identical pinout and electrical specifications, they are functionally interchangeable in a PCB design. The choice between them is driven by manufacturing requirements (manual versus automated placement) rather than electrical performance.
What are the key specifications of the AD7302?
The AD7302 is a dual 8-bit DAC with a parallel interface, operating from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply. It features a settling time of 2 µs, a reference input range from 0 V to VDD, and is specified over the −40 °C to +105 °C temperature range. It is available in 20-lead SOIC and TSSOP packages.
Which package do both part numbers use?
Both AD7302BRZ and AD7302BR-REEL7 use the 20-lead SOIC package (Analog Devices package code R-20). The PCB land pattern and pinout are identical, so no layout change is required when switching between the two ordering codes.
Why would a designer choose the REEL7 version over the tube version?
The AD7302BR-REEL7 tape-and-reel format is intended for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly lines, which require reeled components. The AD7302BRZ tube format is typically used for prototyping, low-volume runs, or manual assembly. Both contain the same device.
