Product details
Overview
AD1674KN 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 digital supplies, and delivers ±1/2 LSB integral nonlinearity at 0°C to +70°C. It is used in precision data acquisition systems requiring DC accuracy and AC performance.
For engineers reviewing the AD1674KN datasheet, AD1674KN pinout, AD1674KN application, or AD1674KN equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for industrial measurement, test equipment, and embedded signal processing designs.
Technical Context
The AD1674KN implements a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with an integrated SHA that supports full Nyquist bandwidth operation up to 1 MHz. Its internal 10 V reference is laser-trimmed and stable across temperature, enabling calibrated input ranges without external components.
Digital interface logic supports both full-control mode (using CE, CS, R/C, A0, and 12/8) and stand-alone mode (R/C-triggered), with configurable 8-bit or 12-bit conversion cycles and parallel output formatting. The device uses Analog Devices' BiMOS II process to integrate high-precision bipolar analog circuitry with CMOS digital logic.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD1674JR | Same architecture and pinout; ±1 LSB INL (vs. ±1/2 LSB), 69 dB S/(N+D) (vs. 70 dB), plastic SOIC package. | Lower linearity and SNR; preferred where board space is constrained and SOIC footprint is required. | Select AD1674JR if SOIC packaging and cost reduction outweigh the need for highest DC/AC performance. |
| AD7892BR | 12-bit, 100 kSPS SAR ADC with internal reference; no integrated SHA; 24-pin SOIC; ±1 LSB INL; 70 dB S/(N+D). | Requires external SHA for wideband signals; lacks bipolar input support and industry-standard pinout. | Choose AD7892BR only when compact size and simplified supply (single +5 V) are prioritized over bipolar range and legacy compatibility. |
Compared with AD1674JR, AD1674KN offers tighter DC accuracy and better dynamic performance in the same DIP package; compared with AD7892BR, it provides integrated SHA, bipolar input capability, and AD574A-compatible pinout-making it superior for retrofitting and wideband measurement.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the AD1674KN?
The AD1674KN is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is validated per the datasheet's DC and AC specifications, including ±1/2 LSB integral nonlinearity and 70 dB signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio across the full range. It does not support extended industrial or military temperature grades.
Does the AD1674KN require external clocking?
No, the AD1674KN does not require an external clock. It contains a fully integrated oscillator and timing circuitry that enables autonomous 100 kSPS conversion. The internal clock drives the successive approximation register and sample-and-hold control-no external crystal or clock source is needed for basic operation.
Can the AD1674KN interface directly with an 8-bit microprocessor bus?
Yes, the AD1674KN supports direct 8-bit bus interfacing via its dual-byte output mode. When the 12/8 pin is held LOW and A0 toggles, the device outputs the 8 MSBs (DB11–DB4) and then the 4 LSBs plus four trailing zeros (DB3–DB0 with DB7–DB4 = 0), enabling seamless connection to 8-bit data buses without external latches or buffers.
How is bipolar input configured on the AD1674KN?
Bipolar input on the AD1674KN is configured by connecting the BIP OFF pin (Pin 12) through a 50 Ω resistor to REF OUT (Pin 8). This enables ±5 V or ±10 V input ranges on the 10 VIN or 20 VIN pins respectively. The analog common must be tied to AGND, and VEE must be supplied at –12 V or –15 V for proper bipolar operation.
Is the AD1674KN pin-compatible with the AD574A?
Yes, the AD1674KN is explicitly pin-compatible with the AD574A and AD674A, sharing identical pin numbering, signal names, and physical footprint in the 28-pin DIP package. This allows direct replacement in legacy designs while adding integrated sample-and-hold functionality and improved conversion speed.
