Product details
Overview
AD1674JNZ from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 12-bit, 100 kSPS analog-to-digital converter with integrated sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA), on-chip 10 V reference, and three-state parallel output buffers. It supports unipolar (0 V–10 V, 0 V–20 V) and bipolar (±5 V, ±10 V) input ranges, operates on ±12 V/±15 V analog and +5 V logic supplies, and delivers ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity at 0°C to +70°C - widely deployed in precision data acquisition systems for industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the AD1674JNZ datasheet, AD1674JNZ pinout, AD1674JNZ application, or AD1674JNZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world timing behavior in full-control and stand-alone modes, and validated alternatives for legacy 12-bit ADC replacement in embedded instrumentation and test equipment.
Technical Context
The AD1674JNZ implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with an integrated SHA that supports full Nyquist bandwidth operation up to 500 kHz linear bandwidth and 1 MHz full-power bandwidth. Its internal 12-bit DAC uses current-steering with laser-trimmed scaling resistors to achieve calibrated input ranges without external components.
It features dual digital interface modes: full-control mode (using CE, CS, R/C, A0, and 12/8) for multiplexed microprocessor buses, and stand-alone mode (R/C edge-triggered, CE/CS tied high/low) optimized for low-aperture-jitter timing - delivering 250 ps aperture jitter and 69 dB S/(N+D) at 10 kHz input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - guarantees 4096 distinct output codes with no missing codes across full operating range. |
| Conversion Rate | 100 kSPS - fixed 10 µs conversion time for 12-bit cycle, enabling real-time sampling of signals up to 50 kHz Nyquist frequency. |
| INL / DNL | ±1 LSB INL, no missing codes DNL - ensures monotonicity and end-point linearity critical for closed-loop control feedback. |
| Input Ranges | ±5 V, ±10 V, 0–10 V, 0–20 V - selectable via BIP OFF and input pin routing; no external scaling required. |
| S/(N+D) Ratio | 69 dB at 10 kHz - measured with coherent 2048-point FFT; supports dynamic signal fidelity in vibration monitoring and audio digitization. |
| Aperture Jitter | 250 ps - directly limits SNR degradation at high input frequencies; enables accurate undersampling applications. |
| Supply Voltages | +5 V (VLOGIC), ±12 V or ±15 V (VCC/VEE) - dual-supply analog section isolates noise-sensitive conversion from digital logic. |
Pinout & Package
AD1674JNZ is housed in a 28-lead plastic DIP (N-28 package) with 0.6-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin spacing follows standard 0.1-inch grid; pin 1 marked by notch or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VLOGIC (Pin 1) | Power | +5 V logic supply rail; powers internal CMOS interface logic and output buffers; must be decoupled locally. |
| 12/8 (Pin 2) | Digital Input | Selects output format: HIGH = 12-bit parallel word, LOW = two 8-bit nibbles for 8-bit bus compatibility. |
| CS (Pin 3) | Digital Input | Active-low chip select; enables device decoding on shared data/address buses in full-control mode. |
| A0 (Pin 4) | Digital Input | Byte address control: LOW during convert start → 12-bit cycle; HIGH → 8-bit cycle; during read → selects MSB/LSB nibble. |
| R/C (Pin 5) | Digital Input | Read/Convert control: LOW = initiate conversion, HIGH = enable data read; edge-triggered in stand-alone mode. |
| CE (Pin 6) | Digital Input | Active-high chip enable; initiates conversion or read when combined with CS and R/C per truth table. |
| VCC (Pin 7) | Power | +12 V or +15 V analog supply; powers SHA, reference, and SAR; requires low-noise filtering. |
| REF OUT (Pin 8) | Analog Output | +10 V reference output; drives external circuitry (e.g., BIP OFF resistor) but must be buffered for ±12 V operation. |
| AGND (Pin 9) | Power | Analog ground reference; separate from DGND to minimize digital switching noise coupling into conversion path. |
| REF IN (Pin 10) | Analog Input | Reference input node; connected via 50 Ω resistor to REF OUT for internal reference use; enables external reference override. |
| VEE (Pin 11) | Power | –12 V or –15 V analog supply; powers negative-side analog circuitry including comparator and DAC current sinks. |
| BIP OFF (Pin 12) | Analog Input | Bipolar offset adjustment node; tied to REF OUT via 50 Ω for ±5 V/±10 V operation, or to AGND for unipolar mode. |
| 10 VIN (Pin 13) | Analog Input | 10 V span input: accepts 0–10 V unipolar or ±5 V bipolar; unused in 20 V span configuration. |
| 20 VIN (Pin 14) | Analog Input | 20 V span input: accepts 0–20 V unipolar or ±10 V bipolar; unused in 10 V span configuration. |
| DGND (Pin 15) | Power | Digital ground reference; isolated from AGND to prevent ground bounce from corrupting analog measurements. |
| DB0–DB3 (Pins 16–19) | Digital Output | LSB nibble (bits 0–3); enabled only when A0 = HIGH and 12/8 = LOW, or as part of full 12-bit word when 12/8 = HIGH. |
| DB4–DB7 (Pins 20–23) | Digital Output | Middle nibble (bits 4–7); always active in 12-bit mode; outputs zeros when A0 = HIGH and 12/8 = LOW. |
| DB8–DB11 (Pins 24–27) | Digital Output | MSB nibble (bits 8–11); enabled when A0 = LOW and 12/8 = LOW, or as upper bits in full 12-bit word. |
| STS (Pin 28) | Digital Output | Status flag: HIGH during conversion, LOW when data is valid and ready for read; used for handshaking in polled systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD1674JNZ?
The AD1674JNZ supports a fixed 100 kSPS conversion rate, corresponding to a 10 µs conversion time for the full 12-bit cycle. This rate is guaranteed across its 0°C to +70°C operating range and is independent of interface mode - whether used in full-control or stand-alone configuration, the AD1674JNZ consistently delivers 100 kSPS performance with no software overhead or wait states.
Does the AD1674JNZ require external calibration for ±10 V bipolar operation?
No, the AD1674JNZ does not require external calibration for ±10 V bipolar operation. Its factory-laser-trimmed scaling resistors and internal 10 V reference ensure the ±10 V range is calibrated at production. Users need only connect BIP OFF to REF OUT via a 50 Ω resistor and route the signal to 20 VIN - the AD1674JNZ maintains ±1 LSB INL and ±6 LSB bipolar offset error over temperature without user adjustment.
Can the AD1674JNZ interface directly with an 8-bit microcontroller bus?
Yes, the AD1674JNZ can interface directly with an 8-bit microcontroller bus using its flexible 12/8 and A0 controls. When 12/8 is held LOW, the AD1674JNZ outputs two 8-bit words: A0 = LOW enables DB4–DB11 (upper byte), and A0 = HIGH enables DB0–DB3 with DB7–DB4 forced to zero (lower byte). This eliminates external latches or bus transceivers in 8-bit systems.
What is the purpose of the STS pin on the AD1674JNZ?
The STS (Status) pin on the AD1674JNZ is a dedicated digital output that goes HIGH at conversion start and returns LOW when conversion completes and data is valid. It provides hardware handshaking for polled or interrupt-driven read operations - allowing microcontrollers to avoid timing loops or fixed delays. In the AD1674JNZ, STS asserts within 200 ns of R/C or CE activation and deasserts 0.6–1.2 µs before data becomes stable.
How does the AD1674JNZ differ from the AD574A in terms of functionality?
The AD1674JNZ extends the AD574A with an integrated sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA), eliminating the need for external SHA circuitry and associated layout complexity. It also delivers faster 10 µs conversion time versus AD574A's 25 µs, supports both AC and DC specifications (e.g., 69 dB S/(N+D)), and offers enhanced input range flexibility - all while maintaining identical pinout and command protocol for seamless drop-in replacement in legacy AD574A designs.
