Product details
Overview
AD570JD from Analog Devices is an 8-bit monolithic successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal current-output DAC, buried Zener reference, and TTL-compatible digital interface. It operates from +5 V and –15 V supplies, delivers ±1/2 LSB relative accuracy over 0°C to +70°C, supports unipolar (0 V to +10 V) and bipolar (–5 V to +5 V) input ranges, and achieves 25 µs typical conversion time - used in precision data acquisition systems interfacing with microprocessors or multiplexed sensor arrays.
For engineers reviewing the AD570JD datasheet, AD570JD pinout, AD570JD application, or AD570JD equivalent, key selection considerations include its laser-trimmed 5 kΩ input resistor, open-collector DATA READY output, 3-state digital outputs, bipolar offset control via dedicated pin, and ceramic DIP-18 package with separate analog/digital commons for noise-sensitive industrial measurement designs.
Technical Context
The AD570JD implements a complete successive-approximation ADC using I²L logic and an internal 8-bit current-output DAC. Conversion is initiated by a low pulse on the BLANK & CONVERT (B&C) line, with DATA READY going low after ~25 µs to signal valid 8-bit parallel output. The buried Zener reference ensures stable full-scale calibration across temperature.
It features dual common terminals (analog and digital), supporting up to ±200 mV common-mode voltage between them. Bipolar operation is enabled by injecting MSB-equivalent offset current into the comparator summing node when the BIPOLAR OFFSET CONTROL pin is left open - yielding offset binary coding with –5 V to +5 V range and zero-code at –5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 8-bit - defines smallest resolvable analog step as ~39.06 mV in 10 V full-scale unipolar mode |
| Relative Accuracy | ±6½ LSB - guarantees monotonicity and ≤0.20% total error over operating temperature |
| Conversion Time | 25 µs typical - enables up to 40 kSPS sampling without external sample-hold in moderate-speed applications |
| Analog Input Range | Unipolar: 0 V to +10 V; Bipolar: –5 V to +5 V - selectable via BIPOLAR OFFSET CONTROL pin state |
| Power Supplies | +5 V (V+) and –15 V (V–) - required for specified performance; V+ current = 7 mA, V– current = 9–15 mA |
| Digital Interface | TTL-compatible inputs; 3-state open-collector DATA READY; active-high/lower 8-bit parallel outputs |
| Reference Stability | Temperature-compensated buried Zener - eliminates need for external reference and reduces drift-induced calibration loss |
Pinout & Package
AD570JD is housed in an 18-lead side-brazed ceramic dual in-line package (SBDIP, D-18), measuring 0.960" × 0.290" with 0.100" lead pitch. The package provides hermetic sealing and thermal stability suitable for industrial environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PIN 1 | Digital Common | Reference ground for TTL logic inputs and outputs; must be isolated from analog common to minimize noise coupling |
| PIN 2–9 | BIT 1 (MSB) to BIT 8 (LSB) | Active-high parallel digital output lines - high-impedance (open) when BLANK & CONVERT is high |
| PIN 10 | DATA READY (DR) | Open-collector output; pulled low after conversion completion to signal valid data availability |
| PIN 11 | BIPOLAR OFFSET CONTROL | Controls input range mode: grounded = unipolar (0 V to +10 V); open = bipolar (–5 V to +5 V) |
| PIN 12 | ANALOG COMMON | Return path for analog input current; carries transient up to 2 mA during conversion - requires separate low-noise routing |
| PIN 13 | ANALOG IN | Differential input node referenced to ANALOG COMMON; accepts ±15 V absolute max, impedance = 5.0 kΩ typical |
| PIN 14 | V– | Negative supply rail (–12 V to –16.5 V); powers internal DAC and comparator circuitry |
| PIN 15 | V+ | Positive supply rail (+4.5 V to +7.0 V); powers logic and reference sections |
| PIN 16 | BLANK & CONVERT (B&C) | Active-low initiation signal - low pulse ≥2 µs starts conversion; high pulse clears outputs and resets SAR |
| PIN 17 | Not Connected | No internal connection - must remain unconnected to avoid damage per datasheet warning |
| PIN 18 | Not Connected | No internal connection - must remain unconnected to avoid damage per datasheet warning |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed 5 kΩ input resistor | Enables precise full-scale matching to internal DAC; allows fine calibration via external series trimmer (e.g., 200 Ω potentiometer) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8-bit successive-approximation ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD571JN | 10-bit resolution, same DIP-18 package, higher relative accuracy (±0.5 LSB), requires external reference | Used where higher resolution is mandatory and external reference design overhead is acceptable | Select AD571JN only if 10-bit precision is required and system can accommodate external reference layout and calibration |
| MAX160BCNG | 8-bit, CMOS process, +5 V single supply, 35 µs conversion time, no bipolar mode support | Suitable for low-power, single-supply embedded systems where bipolar input is unnecessary | Choose MAX160BCNG for battery-powered or space-constrained designs needing simplified power architecture but sacrificing bipolar capability |
Compared with AD570JD, AD571JN offers two extra bits and tighter accuracy but demands external reference design effort, while MAX160BCNG reduces supply complexity and footprint at the cost of missing bipolar operation and slower conversion - making AD570JD optimal for industrial dual-supply systems requiring flexible input range and proven hermetic reliability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AD570JD?
The AD570JD is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature specification is defined in the Ordering Guide and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Unlike the AD570SD variant, the AD570JD does not support extended military temperature ranges. Its performance parameters - including relative accuracy, conversion time, and power supply rejection - are guaranteed within this range per the published specifications.
Does the AD570JD require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD570JD does not require an external reference voltage. It integrates a temperature-compensated buried Zener reference that serves as the primary voltage reference for the internal DAC and comparator. This eliminates the need for external reference components and associated trimming circuitry, simplifying board layout and improving long-term stability. All specifications for full-scale calibration, offset, and linearity assume use of this internal reference.
How is bipolar input range configured on the AD570JD?
Bipolar input range (–5 V to +5 V) on the AD570JD is configured by leaving the BIPOLAR OFFSET CONTROL pin (Pin 11) unconnected (open). When grounded, the device operates in unipolar mode (0 V to +10 V). The datasheet explicitly states that an open pin injects MSB-equivalent offset current into the comparator summing node, shifting the transfer function to produce offset binary coding - where –5 V maps to 00000000 and +4.96 V maps to 11111111.
What is the purpose of Pins 17 and 18 on the AD570JD?
Pins 17 and 18 on the AD570JD are internally unconnected (NC) and must remain unconnected in the circuit. The datasheet warns that connecting TTL logic inputs to these pins - or any unintended connection - may cause device damage. These pins exist for mechanical symmetry and package standardization but carry no electrical function. Proper handling requires leaving both pins floating with no solder mask bridging or PCB trace attachment.
Can the AD570JD be used with a single +5 V supply?
No, the AD570JD cannot be operated with only a +5 V supply. It requires dual supplies: +5 V (V+, Pin 15) and –12 V to –16.5 V (V–, Pin 14) for proper functionality. The internal DAC, comparator, and reference circuitry depend on the negative rail to establish correct bias points and full-scale current balance. Attempting operation with only +5 V will result in failure to convert or catastrophic malfunction, as confirmed by the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Power Supply Selection section.
