Product details
Overview
AD573JP from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 10-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated buried Zener reference, internal clock, comparator, DAC, and SAR - requiring no external components for full-accuracy conversion. It operates on +5 V and –12 V to –15 V supplies, accepts 0 V to +10 V unipolar or –5 V to +5 V bipolar analog inputs, and delivers conversion in 20 µs typical, used in precision data acquisition systems for industrial instrumentation and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AD573JP datasheet, AD573JP pinout, AD573JP application, or AD573JP equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10-bit resolution with no missing codes over temperature, ±1 LSB relative accuracy (J-grade), dual-range input configuration via Pin 16, and compatibility with 8-bit microprocessor buses using HBE/LBE byte-enable control.
Technical Context
The AD573JP implements successive approximation using integrated injection logic (I2L) SAR architecture, with a laser-trimmed SiCr thin-film resistor ladder and temperature-compensated subsurface Zener reference ensuring stable 10-bit linearity. Its current-output DAC balances input signal current through a 5 kΩ trimmed input resistor, enabling precise unipolar/bipolar range selection without external op-amps.
Conversion is initiated by a 500 ns minimum positive CONVERT pulse; DATA READY (DR) signals completion after ≤30 µs. Output data is left-justified: DB9–DB2 (8 MSBs) enabled by HBE, DB1–DB0 (2 LSBs) enabled by LBE - supporting both 8-bit bus interfacing and 10-bit parallel readout when HBE and LBE are tied.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10 bits - defines smallest resolvable voltage step (9.766 mV at 10 V FS) |
| Relative Accuracy | ±1 LSB - guarantees monotonic transfer function with no missing codes from 0°C to +70°C |
| Conversion Time | 20 µs typical - enables up to 50 kSPS sampling in burst mode with proper timing margin |
| Analog Input Ranges | 0 V to +10 V (unipolar) or –5 V to +5 V (bipolar) - selected by grounding or floating Pin 16 (BIP OFF) |
| Supply Voltages | +5 V (V+) and –12 V to –15 V (V–) - powers internal reference, DAC, and logic; requires separate analog/digital commons |
| Output Coding | Positive true binary (unipolar); positive true offset binary (bipolar) - ensures correct zero-crossing representation in signed applications |
| Power Dissipation | ≤800 mW - determined by V+ current (15–20 mA) and V– current (9–15 mA) under full load |
Pinout & Package
The AD573JP is housed in a 20-lead plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC), compliant with JEDEC MO-047-AA, with gull-wing leads and pin 1 identifier in top-left corner (viewed from top). Package dimensions: 0.395" × 0.395" SQ (10.03 mm × 10.03 mm), body height 0.120" (3.04 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (DB0) | LSB Data Output | Least significant bit of conversion result; enabled only when LBE = low |
| Pin 2 (DB1) | LSB Data Output | Second least significant bit; forms 2-bit low byte with DB0 under LBE control |
| Pin 3–10 (DB2–DB9) | MSB Data Outputs | Bits 2–9 (DB2 = 22, DB9 = 29); enabled only when HBE = low; DB9 is MSB |
| Pin 11 (V–) | Negative Supply | –12 V to –15 V analog/digital supply rail; powers DAC, reference, and comparator |
| Pin 12 (ANALOG COMMON) | Analog Reference Node | Return for analog input and internal DAC summing node; carries ~2 mA static current post-conversion |
| Pin 13 (ANALOG IN) | Analog Input Terminal | Accepts 0 V to +10 V (unipolar) or –5 V to +5 V (bipolar) via 5 kΩ trimmed input resistor |
| Pin 14 (DIGITAL COMMON) | Digital Ground Reference | Logic ground reference for all digital I/O; must be isolated from ANALOG COMMON by ≤200 mV common-mode voltage |
| Pin 15 (CONVERT) | Start Conversion Input | Positive pulse ≥500 ns wide; falling edge initiates SAR cycle; rising edge resets internal logic |
| Pin 16 (BIPOLAR OFFSET CONTROL) | Input Range Selector | Grounded → unipolar (0 V to +10 V); open → bipolar (–5 V to +5 V); not TTL-compatible |
| Pin 17 (DATA READY) | Conversion Status Flag | Open-collector output; goes low when conversion completes and data is valid on outputs |
| Pin 18 (LBE) | Low Byte Enable | Active-low enable for DB0–DB1; must be high during conversion to avoid bus contention |
| Pin 19 (HBE) | High Byte Enable | Active-low enable for DB2–DB9; used with LBE for 8-bit bus compatibility or combined for 10-bit read |
| Pin 20 (V+) | Positive Supply | +5 V supply for logic, SAR, and output buffers; must be decoupled locally to DIGITAL COMMON |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Monolithic 10-bit ADC with reference and clock | Eliminates need for external precision reference, timing circuitry, or comparator - reduces BOM count and layout area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7572A | 10-bit CMOS SAR ADC with internal reference; requires external clock; no bipolar input mode | Lacks built-in bipolar range switching - needs external op-amp for level shift; lower power (15 mW vs. 250 mW) | Choose AD7572A for battery-powered systems where power > speed; AD573JP preferred when bipolar input and self-contained design are required. |
| MAX1110 | 10-bit serial-output ADC with SPI interface; single +5 V supply; no internal reference | Serial interface reduces pin count but increases firmware complexity; requires external reference for accuracy matching AD573JP | Choose MAX1110 for space-constrained designs with existing SPI infrastructure; AD573JP remains optimal for parallel-bus systems needing guaranteed monotonicity and minimal external parts. |
Compared with AD7572A and MAX1110, the AD573JP uniquely integrates reference, clock, and comparator while supporting hardware-selectable unipolar/bipolar ranges - making it the only option among the three that achieves full 10-bit accuracy without any external passive components.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AD573JP?
The AD573JP is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is validated per the AD573 datasheet Rev. B, and applies to all electrical parameters including ±1 LSB relative accuracy, 20 µs typical conversion time, and unipolar/bipolar input range functionality. The "JP" suffix explicitly denotes the plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package rated for this range.
Does the AD573JP require external components to achieve full 10-bit accuracy?
No, the AD573JP requires no external components to achieve full 10-bit accuracy. Its monolithic design integrates a laser-trimmed 5 kΩ input resistor, buried Zener reference, internal clock, comparator, 10-bit current-output DAC, and successive approximation register. Full-scale calibration can be performed with only a 15 Ω series resistor, and unipolar/bipolar range selection uses only Pin 16 connection - no op-amps, references, or clocks needed.
How is the analog input range selected on the AD573JP?
The analog input range on the AD573JP is selected via Pin 16 (BIPOLAR OFFSET CONTROL): grounding Pin 16 to DIGITAL COMMON (Pin 14) configures unipolar operation (0 V to +10 V), while leaving Pin 16 open configures bipolar operation (–5 V to +5 V). This hardware-selectable feature requires no software configuration or external circuitry, and directly controls internal offset current injection into the comparator summing node.
What are the power supply requirements for the AD573JP?
The AD573JP requires two supplies: +5 V applied to Pin 20 (V+) and –12 V to –15 V applied to Pin 11 (V–), both referenced to DIGITAL COMMON (Pin 14). The analog input circuitry and reference are powered from V–, while logic and output buffers use V+. Absolute maximum ratings are +7 V on V+ and –16.5 V on V–; operation outside these violates reliability specifications.
Can the AD573JP interface directly to an 8-bit microprocessor bus?
Yes, the AD573JP interfaces directly to 8-bit microprocessor buses using its HBE (Pin 19) and LBE (Pin 18) controls. The 8 MSBs (DB9–DB2) are enabled by HBE, and the 2 LSBs (DB1–DB0) by LBE - allowing sequential read of high and low bytes without external latches or buffers. This architecture supports memory-mapped or isolated I/O schemes on processors like the 6502 and 8085, as confirmed in the AD573 application notes.
