Product details
Overview
AD1674JN from Analog Devices is a monolithic 12-bit, 100 kSPS analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA), on-chip ±10 V reference, and 8-/16-bit microprocessor interface. It supports unipolar (0 V–10 V, 0 V–20 V) and bipolar (±5 V, ±10 V) input ranges, operates from +5 V logic and ±12 V/±15 V analog supplies, and delivers guaranteed 69 dB S/(N+D) at 10 kHz - used in precision data acquisition systems for industrial process control and automated test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AD1674JN datasheet, AD1674JN pinout, AD1674JN application, or AD1674JN equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing behavior in full-control and stand-alone modes, confirmed AC/DC specifications per MIL-STD-883-compliant J-grade testing, and validated alternatives for legacy ADC replacement scenarios.
Technical Context
The AD1674JN implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with an integrated SHA that supports full Nyquist bandwidth operation up to 1 MHz and achieves 12-bit accuracy without external acquisition wait states. Its BiMOS II process integrates high-precision bipolar analog circuitry (laser-trimmed scaling resistors, 10 V reference) with CMOS digital logic for stable offset and full-scale error over temperature.
It features dual-mode digital interface: full-control mode uses CE, CS, R/C, A0, and 12/8 for multiplexed bus access, while stand-alone mode simplifies timing by using only R/C edge-triggered conversion with automatic STS assertion and 0.6–1.2 µs data-valid delay - enabling low-jitter sampling critical for dynamic signal analysis.

Pinout & Package
AD1674JN is housed in a 28-pin plastic DIP (N-28 package), with 0.6-inch body width and standard through-hole mounting. Pin layout follows industry-standard AD574A/AD674A footprint for drop-in compatibility in legacy designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VLOGIC (Pin 1) | Power supply input | +5 V logic rail - powers internal CMOS buffers and control logic; must be decoupled locally to suppress digital noise coupling into analog section. |
| 12/8 (Pin 2) | Digital input | Selects output format: HIGH = 12-bit parallel word; LOW = two 8-bit nibbles - enables direct connection to 8-bit microprocessor data buses. |
| CS (Pin 3) | Digital input | Active-low chip select - enables device decoding on shared address/data buses; must be asserted before CE for valid read/convert commands. |
| A0 (Pin 4) | Digital input | Byte address control - LOW initiates 12-bit conversion and enables DB11–DB8; HIGH enables DB3–DB0 with DB7–DB4 = 0 in 8-bit mode. |
| R/C (Pin 5) | Digital input | Read/Convert control - LOW starts conversion in full-control mode; falling edge triggers conversion in stand-alone mode. |
| CE (Pin 6) | Digital input | Active-high chip enable - initiates operation when CS is LOW; timing-critical for setup/hold relative to R/C and A0. |
| VCC (Pin 7) | Power supply input | +12 V or +15 V analog supply - powers SHA, DAC, and comparator; requires low-noise filtering to maintain INL/DNL performance. |
| REF OUT (Pin 8) | Analog output | +10 V reference source - provides stable, laser-trimmed voltage for external circuitry; max 2 mA load, must be buffered for ±12 V operation. |
| AGND (Pin 9) | Analog ground | Analog common reference - must be isolated from DGND and connected to star ground point near VCC/VEE decoupling capacitors. |
| REF IN (Pin 10) | Analog input | Reference feedback node - connected via 50 Ω resistor to REF OUT for internal calibration; open or misconnected causes full-scale error. |
| VEE (Pin 11) | Power supply input | –12 V or –15 V analog supply - essential for bipolar input operation and SHA linearity; same noise sensitivity as VCC. |
| BIP OFF (Pin 12) | Analog input | Bipolar offset adjustment - tied to REF OUT via 50 Ω for ±5 V/±10 V modes; tied to AGND for 0–10 V/0–20 V unipolar operation. |
| 10 VIN (Pin 13) | Analog input | 10 V span input - accepts 0–10 V (unipolar) or ±5 V (bipolar); must be left unconnected when using 20 VIN for 20 V span. |
| 20 VIN (Pin 14) | Analog input | 20 V span input - accepts 0–20 V (unipolar) or ±10 V (bipolar); must be left unconnected when using 10 VIN for 10 V span. |
| DGND (Pin 15) | Digital ground | Digital common reference - separates digital switching noise from analog section; connected to system ground at single point only. |
| DB0–DB3 (Pins 16–19) | Digital output | LSB nibble - enabled during read when A0 = HIGH and 12/8 = LOW; outputs DB3–DB0 with DB7–DB4 = 0 in 8-bit mode. |
| DB4–DB7 (Pins 20–23) | Digital output | Middle nibble - enabled when A0 = LOW and 12/8 = LOW; outputs DB7–DB4; forced to 0 when A0 = HIGH in 8-bit mode. |
| DB8–DB11 (Pins 24–27) | Digital output | MSB nibble - always active in 12-bit mode (12/8 = HIGH); outputs DB11–DB8; disabled when A0 = HIGH in 8-bit mode. |
| STS (Pin 28) | Digital output | Status flag - goes HIGH at conversion start and returns LOW 0.6–1.2 µs after data is valid; used for interrupt-driven data capture. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD1674KN | Same package and pinout; tighter INL (±0.5 LSB) and higher S/(N+D) (70 dB) due to enhanced grade screening. | Required for applications demanding improved linearity in high-precision metrology or calibration standards. | Select AD1674KN when ±0.5 LSB INL and 70 dB S/(N+D) are mandatory; otherwise AD1674JN offers optimal cost/performance for general-purpose DAQ. |
| AD7892BRZ | 3 V/5 V single-supply operation, 100 kSPS, 12-bit SAR, but lacks integrated SHA and reference; requires external REF and driver. | Suitable for low-power, battery-operated portable instruments where ±12 V rails are unavailable. | Choose AD7892BRZ only if system power architecture mandates single 5 V supply and external reference tolerance is acceptable. |
Compared with AD1674KN, AD1674JN trades 0.5 LSB INL and 1 dB S/(N+D) for lower unit cost and broader commercial availability; compared with AD7892BRZ, it delivers complete signal chain integration (SHA + REF + buffers) at the expense of dual-supply complexity - making AD1674JN the preferred choice for retrofitting legacy industrial systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD1674JN?
The AD1674JN supports a fixed conversion rate of 100 kSPS, corresponding to a 10 µs conversion time for full 12-bit cycles. This rate is guaranteed across its 0°C to +70°C operating range and does not vary with supply voltage or input signal amplitude. The device achieves this performance using an internal clock and successive approximation architecture - no external clock source is required or supported. AD1674JN maintains timing integrity even under worst-case supply and temperature conditions specified in the datasheet.
Does the AD1674JN require external components for basic operation?
Yes - the AD1674JN requires external 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitors on VLOGIC, VCC, and VEE pins, plus a 50 Ω resistor between REF OUT and REF IN for full-scale calibration. For bipolar operation, a second 50 Ω resistor connects BIP OFF to REF OUT. While the internal 10 V reference and SHA eliminate many external parts, these passive components are mandatory for specified INL, full-scale error, and noise performance. AD1674JN will not meet datasheet specifications without them.
Can the AD1674JN operate with only +5 V and ground supplies?
No - the AD1674JN requires three independent supplies: +5 V (VLOGIC), +12 V or +15 V (VCC), and –12 V or –15 V (VEE). The dual analog rails are essential for proper operation of the internal SHA, DAC, and comparator circuitry. Attempting to run AD1674JN with only +5 V and ground will result in undefined behavior, failure to acquire valid conversions, and potential damage due to violation of absolute maximum ratings on VEE and analog input pins.
How does the AD1674JN handle unipolar versus bipolar input configurations?
The AD1674JN selects input range via hardware connections: for unipolar (0–10 V or 0–20 V), BIP OFF is tied to AGND and either 10 VIN or 20 VIN is driven; for bipolar (±5 V or ±10 V), BIP OFF is connected to REF OUT via 50 Ω and the corresponding VIN pin is used. The internal laser-trimmed resistor network automatically scales the input - no software configuration or register writes are needed. AD1674JN's analog front-end is fully hardwired, making range selection deterministic and immune to firmware errors.
Is the AD1674JN pin-compatible with the AD574A?
Yes - the AD1674JN uses the identical 28-pin DIP pinout, signal naming, and timing conventions as the AD574A, enabling direct replacement in existing designs. Key signals (CS, CE, R/C, A0, 12/8, STS, DB0–DB11, REF OUT, REF IN, BIP OFF, 10 VIN, 20 VIN) occupy matching positions. However, AD1674JN adds integrated SHA functionality and faster 10 µs conversion versus AD574A's 25 µs, requiring no changes to PCB layout but potentially enabling higher system throughput.
