Product details
Overview
AD574AJDZ from Analog Devices is a monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with on-chip reference, clock, and three-state data output buffers. It delivers ±1 LSB linearity error over 0°C to +70°C, supports ±5 V/±10 V bipolar and 0 V to +10 V/+20 V unipolar input ranges, and achieves ≤35 µs full-scale conversion time. It is used in precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring self-contained, calibrated ADC functionality without external DAC or timing components.
For engineers reviewing the AD574AJDZ datasheet, AD574AJDZ pinout, AD574AJDZ application, or AD574AJDZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating specifications across temperature, real-world interface constraints (e.g., 12/8 pin hard-wiring requirement), and two field-validated alternative parts for design continuity planning.
Technical Context
The AD574AJDZ integrates a 12-bit current-output DAC, temperature-compensated buried Zener reference (10.00 V ±0.2%), comparator, successive-approximation register (SAR), and digital control logic in a single ceramic DIP-28 package. Its internal 5 kΩ/10 kΩ thin-film scaling resistors enable direct 10 V or 20 V unipolar spans and ±5 V/±10 V bipolar spans without external gain-setting components.
It operates with three independent supplies: VLOGIC = +5 V, VCC = +12 V or +15 V, and VEE = –12 V or –15 V. Conversion is initiated via CE/CS/R/C control signals, with AO and 12/8 pins selecting 8-bit vs. 12-bit mode and parallel data format (two 8-bit bytes or one 12-bit word). The STS output signals active conversion status.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - delivers 4096 discrete digital codes across full-scale range. |
| Linearity Error (TMIN–TMAX) | ±1 LSB - guarantees monotonicity and ≤1 code deviation from ideal transfer curve over 0°C to +70°C. |
| Input Ranges | Unipolar: 0 V to +10 V or 0 V to +20 V; Bipolar: ±5 V or ±10 V - selectable via pin connections, no external op amps required. |
| Conversion Time | ≤35 µs (12-bit), ≤24 µs (8-bit) - enables sampling rates up to ~28.6 kSPS in burst mode with proper timing control. |
| Internal Reference | 10.00 V ±0.2% - trimmed thin-film Zener with 1.5 mA output drive; requires buffering when used with ±12 V supplies. |
| Supply Voltages | VLOGIC = +4.5 V to +5.5 V; VCC = +11.4 V to +16.5 V; VEE = –11.4 V to –16.5 V - supports both ±12 V and ±15 V operation. |
| Power Dissipation | 390 mW (typ), 725 mW (max) - dictates thermal layout requirements in enclosed industrial enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic DIP-28 (D-28) package with 0.3-inch wide body, hermetically sealed, rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner when notch faces upward.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VLOGIC) | Digital supply | +5 V logic power; must be decoupled directly to Pin 15 (Digital Common) with 4.7 µF + 0.1 µF. |
| 9 (AC) | Analog common | Reference ground for internal Zener and analog circuitry; connect directly to system analog reference point. |
| 13 (10VIN) | Unipolar 10 V input | Accepts 0 V to +10 V signal; nominal input impedance = 5 kΩ; requires low-impedance source (e.g., AD585 SHA). |
| 14 (20VIN) | Unipolar 20 V input | Accepts 0 V to +20 V signal; nominal input impedance = 10 kΩ; same dynamic loading behavior as Pin 13. |
| 12 (BIP OFF) | Bipolar offset adjust | Connected to REF OUT (Pin 10) for bipolar mode; grounded for unipolar; trimmable with 100 Ω potentiometer. |
| 10 (REF IN) | Reference input | Accepts external reference or connects to internal REF OUT (Pin 8); requires fixed 50 Ω resistor for full-scale calibration. |
| 8 (REF OUT) | Internal reference output | 10.00 V ±0.2% Zener output; supplies 1.5 mA max; must remain constant during conversion; buffer recommended for ±12 V use. |
| 15 (DC) | Digital common | Logic ground; tie to Pin 9 (AC) at package for high-accuracy operation in noisy environments. |
| 28 (STS) | Status output | Active-high open-collector signal; goes high at conversion start, low at completion; used for handshaking with microprocessor. |
| 2–7, 16–27 (DB0–DB11) | Data outputs | Three-state parallel outputs; DB11 = MSB, DB0 = LSB; enabled only after conversion completes and CE/CS/R/C configured correctly. |
| 11 (CE) | Chip enable | Primary control input; falling edge initiates conversion or enables read; faster than CS due to lower propagation delay. |
| 17 (CS) | Chip select | Secondary enable; must be low with CE and R/C to activate device; adds 100 ns access delay in read cycles. |
| 18 (R/C) | Read/Convert | Low = initiate conversion; High = enable data read; must be stable before CE assertion to avoid bus contention. |
| 19 (AO) | Address/Byte select | Low = enable 12-bit or 8 MSBs; High = enable 4 LSBs + trailing zeros in 8-bit mode; must not change during read cycle. |
| 20 (12/8) | Data format select | Hard-wired to VLOGIC (12-bit word) or DC (two 8-bit bytes); not TTL-compatible; violation causes undefined behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 10 V reference | Eliminates need for external precision voltage reference; ±0.2% initial accuracy and <50 ppm/°C full-scale drift over temperature. |
| No missing codes (11-bit) | Guarantees monotonic 11-bit performance across full 0°C to +70°C range; ensures no code transitions are skipped during ramp tests. |
| Configurable 8-/12-bit mode | Reduces conversion time to ≤24 µs for 8-bit results; AO pin selects resolution without hardware change, supporting flexible throughput scaling. |
| Self-contained SAR architecture | Integrates DAC, comparator, clock, and SAR - requires zero external components for basic operation, simplifying BOM and layout. |
| Three-state parallel outputs | Enables direct connection to 8-bit or 12-bit microprocessor buses without external latches or transceivers; reduces interface complexity. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7874KN | 12-bit SAR ADC with 10 µs conversion time, integrated track-and-hold, but no on-chip reference; requires external 10 V ref. | Higher speed and built-in SHA reduce external component count, but increases supply sensitivity and calibration burden. | Select when system-level sampling rate >50 kSPS is required and board space allows external reference routing. |
| ADS7800KP | 12-bit SAR ADC with 10 V internal reference, 10 µs conversion, and SPI interface; lacks parallel bus and bipolar input support. | Reduces pin count and simplifies microcontroller interface, but eliminates direct 8/12-bit mode flexibility and ±10 V input capability. | Select for new designs prioritizing serial interface simplicity and lower power, where bipolar inputs are not needed. |
Compared with AD574AJDZ, AD7874KN offers faster conversion and integrated sample-and-hold but demands external reference calibration and tighter supply regulation, while ADS7800KP trades parallel bus flexibility and bipolar range support for compact serial interface and lower system-level component count.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AD574AJDZ?
The AD574AJDZ is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This grade (J) is distinct from the S/T/U military grades, which extend to –55°C to +125°C. Operation outside the 0°C to +70°C range may result in increased linearity error beyond ±1 LSB and reference drift exceeding specified ppm/°C limits. Always verify thermal margin in enclosure simulations before deployment.
Does the AD574AJDZ require external components to function as a complete ADC?
No - the AD574AJDZ is a complete 12-bit ADC with integrated 10 V reference, clock generator, successive-approximation register, and three-state output buffers. For basic unipolar 0 V to +10 V operation, only power supplies (+5 V, +12/+15 V, –12/–15 V), analog input, and digital control lines are needed. External components (e.g., trim pots, buffer op amps) are optional for calibration or ±12 V supply compatibility.
How is the 12/8 pin used on the AD574AJDZ, and what happens if it's left floating?
The 12/8 pin on the AD574AJDZ selects data output format: tied to VLOGIC for 12-bit parallel word output, or to Digital Common (Pin 15) for two 8-bit byte outputs. It is not TTL-compatible and must be hard-wired - leaving it floating violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and causes undefined data bus behavior, including potential bus contention or corrupted reads. Always connect with a short trace to VLOGIC or DC.
Can the AD574AJDZ operate from ±12 V supplies instead of ±15 V?
Yes - the AD574AJDZ supports VCC = +11.4 V to +16.5 V and VEE = –11.4 V to –16.5 V, fully covering ±12 V operation. However, the internal 10 V reference output (Pin 8) delivers only 1.5 mA and must remain constant during conversion; with ±12 V supplies, external buffering (e.g., AD825) is recommended to maintain reference stability under load variations, especially across temperature.
What is the purpose of the STS pin on the AD574AJDZ, and how should it be interfaced?
The STS (Status) pin on the AD574AJDZ is an active-high, open-collector output that signals conversion progress: it goes high at conversion start and returns low upon completion. It must be pulled up externally (typically 4.7 kΩ to +5 V) and connected to a microprocessor interrupt or polling input. Using STS prevents reading invalid data during conversion and enables deterministic timing in real-time control loops - a critical requirement in the AD574AJDZ's target applications.
