Product details
Overview
AD1672AP-REEL from Analog Devices is a monolithic 12-bit, 3 MSPS analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample-and-hold amplifier and 2.5 V voltage reference, operating from a single +5 V analog supply and +5 V/+3.3 V digital supplies. It delivers 68 dB SNR at 100 kHz input, –77 dB SFDR, and guarantees no missing codes across –40°C to +85°C in communications and imaging signal acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the AD1672AP-REEL datasheet, AD1672AP-REEL pinout, AD1672AP-REEL application, or AD1672AP-REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include its pipelined multistage architecture, 2.5 V/5 V unipolar or ±2.5 V bipolar input range configurability, OTR overflow flag, and PLCC-28 package compatibility with high-speed data acquisition systems requiring low-latency sampling and dc-coupled precision.
Technical Context
The AD1672AP-REEL implements a 4-stage pipelined architecture (4-4-3-4 bits with overlap) with output error correction logic, enabling full 12-bit accuracy at 3 MSPS while guaranteeing no missing codes over temperature. Its on-chip SHA settles to 12-bit accuracy in ≤150 ns from full-scale step and supports multiplexed or single-channel inputs up to Nyquist frequency.
It features dual ground domains (ACOM/DCOM/DRCOM), separate analog/digital/reference supplies (VCC/VDD/DRVDD), and configurable reference interface-either internal 2.5 V bandgap (REFOUT) or external 2.5 V source (REFIN)-with dedicated noise reduction pins (NCOMP1/NCOMP2) for optimal SFDR performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output levels with guaranteed no missing codes. |
| Max Conversion Rate | 3 MSPS - supports real-time digitization of signals up to 1.5 MHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| S/(N+D) Ratio | 68 dB at 100 kHz - enables high-fidelity baseband signal capture in medical imaging front-ends. |
| Spurious-Free Dynamic Range | –77 dB at 100 kHz - ensures clean spectral representation for RF IF sampling and spectrum analyzers. |
| Differential Nonlinearity | ±0.5 LSB typical - maintains monotonicity critical for closed-loop control and servo feedback paths. |
| Aperture Jitter | 10 ps rms - limits sampling uncertainty-induced noise floor degradation in high-frequency applications. |
| Power Dissipation | 240 mW at 3 MSPS - reduces thermal load in dense PCB layouts compared to multi-chip alternatives. |
| Input Ranges | Configurable 0–2.5 V, 0–5 V (unipolar), or ±2.5 V (bipolar) - simplifies interface to diverse sensor and amplifier outputs. |
Pinout & Package
The AD1672AP-REEL is housed in a 28-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-28) package, rated for –40°C to +85°C operation, with gull-wing leads and pin 1 identifier in top-left corner (viewed from top).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DRCOM (Pin 1) | Digital Output Driver Ground | Isolated ground return for digital output drivers to prevent switching noise coupling into analog domain. |
| BIT 12–BIT 1 (Pins 2–13) | Digital Output Data (LSB to MSB) | 12-bit parallel straight binary (unipolar) or offset binary (bipolar); latched on clock edge with 2.5-cycle pipeline latency. |
| DRVDD (Pin 14) | +5 V or +3.3 V Digital Output Supply | Selects logic-level compatibility: +5 V for TTL/CMOS, +3.3 V for LVTTL/LVCMOS interfaces. |
| OTR (Pin 15) | Out-of-Range Indicator | Active-high flag signaling overflow on leading edge of code 0 or trailing edge of code 4096; used with MSB for polarity detection. |
| CLOCK (Pin 16) | Sample Clock Input | Rising-edge triggered; minimum 334 ns period (3 MSPS); internal timing uses both edges but jitter sensitivity is rising-edge dominant. |
| VDD (Pin 17) | +5 V Digital Logic Supply | Powers internal logic, correction circuitry, and output latches; separate from DRVDD to isolate driver noise. |
| DCOM (Pin 18) | Digital Ground | Reference plane for VDD and digital logic; must be connected to system digital ground with low-inductance path. |
| REFCOM (Pins 19, 24) | Analog Reference Ground | Common return for REFOUT, REFIN, and internal reference circuitry; requires star grounding near ACOM. |
| REFOUT (Pin 20) | 2.5 V Reference Output | Laser-trimmed bandgap reference; requires ≥1 µF ceramic decoupling to REFCOM for stability and noise reduction. |
| AIN1 / AIN2 (Pins 21, 22) | Differential Analog Inputs | Single-ended input pair supporting unipolar/bipolar ranges via external resistor network; input resistance 2–5 kΩ depending on span. |
| REFIN (Pin 23) | Reference Input | Accepts external 2.5 V reference (e.g., AD780); internal reference disabled when REFIN driven externally. |
| NCOMP2 / NCOMP1 (Pins 25, 26) | Noise Compensation Nodes | Connect 1 µF ceramic caps to ACOM to suppress DAC amp and reference buffer transient currents, improving THD/SFDR. |
| ACOM (Pin 27) | Analog Ground | Primary analog return; must be isolated from DCOM/DRCOM and tied at single point to minimize ground loops. |
| VCC (Pin 28) | +5 V Analog Supply | Powers SHA, ADC core, and internal reference; requires local 1 µF + 0.1 µF decoupling to ACOM. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9220AR-REEL | 12-bit, 10 MSPS, 3.3 V single supply, no internal reference, requires external REF. | Better speed but higher power (650 mW); lacks OTR flag and pin-strappable ranges. | Choose for higher throughput where external reference and layout space permit. |
| MAX1186ECM+ | 12-bit, 3 MSPS, internal reference, 3.3 V supply only, TQFP-48 package. | Smaller footprint but no PLCC-28 compatibility; lower SFDR (–70 dB) and higher DNL (±1 LSB). | Choose for space-constrained designs accepting trade-offs in spurious performance and thermal margin. |
Compared with AD9220AR-REEL and MAX1186ECM+, the AD1672AP-REEL uniquely combines PLCC-28 packaging, integrated 2.5 V reference with REFIN/REFOUT flexibility, hardware-configurable input ranges, and OTR flag-making it optimal for legacy industrial and medical systems requiring drop-in replacement and minimal board redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD1672AP-REEL?
The AD1672AP-REEL supports a maximum conversion rate of 3 MSPS, corresponding to a minimum clock period of 334 ns. This enables digitization of input signals up to 1.5 MHz (Nyquist frequency) while maintaining full 12-bit accuracy and guaranteed no missing codes across its specified temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. The AD1672AP-REEL achieves this using a 4-stage pipelined architecture with error correction logic.
Does the AD1672AP-REEL include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD1672AP-REEL integrates a laser-trimmed 2.5 V curvature-compensated bandgap reference accessible via REFOUT (Pin 20). It delivers ±0.3% initial accuracy and <10 ppm/°C drift, and can serve as a system reference. An external 2.5 V reference may be applied to REFIN (Pin 23) to override the internal reference-critical for applications requiring tighter dc accuracy or lower temperature drift than the AD1672AP-REEL's internal reference provides.
How does the AD1672AP-REEL handle overflow conditions?
The AD1672AP-REEL provides an active-high Out-of-Range (OTR) signal on Pin 15 that asserts on the leading edge of code 0 or trailing edge of code 4096, indicating input signal overflow. When used with the MSB (Pin 13), OTR distinguishes between low and high overflow in bipolar mode. This hardware-level flag eliminates need for software-based range checking and enables real-time saturation detection in closed-loop systems using the AD1672AP-REEL.
What are the supported analog input configurations for the AD1672AP-REEL?
The AD1672AP-REEL supports three pin-configurable analog input ranges: 0 V to 2.5 V (unipolar), 0 V to 5.0 V (unipolar), and –2.5 V to +2.5 V (bipolar), selected via external resistor networks per Figure 10 in the datasheet. Input resistance varies from 2 kΩ (2.5 V range) to 4 kΩ (5 V range), and input capacitance is 10 pF. The AD1672AP-REEL's SHA acquires full-scale steps to 12-bit accuracy within 150 ns, making it suitable for multiplexed and transient signal capture.
Can the AD1672AP-REEL interface directly with 3.3 V logic families?
Yes, the AD1672AP-REEL's digital output drivers are configurable for 3.3 V logic compatibility by connecting DRVDD (Pin 14) to +3.3 V instead of +5 V. Its CMOS outputs meet VOH ≥ 2.4 V (at IOH = 0.5 mA) and VOL ≤ 0.4 V (at IOL = 1.6 mA) under 3.3 V operation, ensuring reliable interfacing with LVTTL and LVCMOS devices. This flexibility allows the AD1672AP-REEL to integrate seamlessly into mixed-voltage systems without level-shifting circuitry.
