Product details
Overview
AD574ASD from Analog Devices is a monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with on-chip reference, clock, and three-state data outputs. It delivers ±1 LSB linearity error over –55°C to +125°C, supports ±5 V/±10 V bipolar and 0–10 V/0–20 V unipolar input ranges, and achieves ≤35 µs full-scale conversion time. It is used in high-reliability data acquisition systems requiring guaranteed no-missing-codes performance at military temperature extremes.
For engineers reviewing the AD574ASD datasheet, AD574ASD pinout, AD574ASD application, or AD574ASD equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed operating specifications across military-grade temperature range, and two field-proven alternative parts for ruggedized measurement systems.
Technical Context
The AD574ASD integrates a 12-bit current-output DAC, temperature-compensated buried Zener reference (10.00 V ±0.2%), comparator, successive-approximation register (SAR), and parallel output buffers - all in a single ceramic DIP-28 package. Its internal 5 kΩ/10 kΩ scaling resistors enable direct 10 V or 20 V span operation without external gain components.
Control logic supports both 12-bit and 8-bit conversion modes via AO and 12/8 pins, with STS status flag and CE/CS/R/C interface compatible with microprocessor buses. Conversion is initiated by asserting CE and CS while R/C = 0; data read occurs when R/C = 1, with nibble-selectable output enabled by AO and format controlled by 12/8 hardwired to VLOGIC or digital common.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit monotonic, with guaranteed no missing codes to 11 bits over full –55°C to +125°C range |
| Linearity Error (TMIN–TMAX) | ±1 LSB - defines maximum deviation of any code from ideal transfer curve across military temperature range |

Ceramic Dual-In-Line Package (D-28), 0.6-inch body width, 0.3-inch lead spacing, hermetically sealed for MIL-STD-883 compliance. Pin 1 identified by dot; pins numbered counterclockwise from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 | Digital Common (DC) | Reference ground for logic supplies and digital I/O; must be tied to system digital ground |
| 9 | Analog Common (AC) | High-fidelity reference ground for internal reference, DAC, and analog inputs; connect directly to system analog ground point |
| 8, 10 | REF OUT / REF IN | 10 V reference output and input - enables external calibration loop; requires fixed 50 Ω resistor for full-scale trim |
| 12 | BIP OFF | Bipolar offset adjustment node - connected to 10 V reference for bipolar mode, grounded for unipolar mode |
| 13, 14 | 10VIN / 20VIN | Dedicated analog input terminals - 10VIN accepts 0–10 V or ±5 V; 20VIN accepts 0–20 V or ±10 V |
| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 | DB11–DB0 | Three-state parallel digital outputs - MSB (DB11) to LSB (DB0); output format selected by 12/8 and AO pins |
| 11 | STS | Status flag - high during conversion, low when result ready; used for handshaking with host processor |
| 22, 23, 24, 25 | CE, CS, R/C, A0 | Control inputs - CE/CS enable device; R/C selects convert/read; A0 selects high/low nibble or 12-bit mode |
| 26 | 12/8 | Data format select - hardwired to VLOGIC for 12-bit word, to DC for two 8-bit bytes; not TTL-compatible |
| 27, 28 | VCC, VEE | Analog power supplies - +12 V/+15 V and –12 V/–15 V; require local 4.7 µF + 0.1 µF decoupling to AC |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7892BRZ | 12-bit SAR ADC with serial SPI interface; no internal reference; requires external 2.5 V reference; 2.5 µs conversion time | Designed for low-power, space-constrained embedded systems; lacks parallel bus interface and bipolar input support | Choose for compact PCB layouts where serial interface suffices and external reference is already present |
| ADS8320U | 16-bit SAR ADC with parallel/serial dual interface; internal reference optional; 4.5 µs conversion; 94 dB SNR | Higher resolution and speed, but plastic TSSOP-20 package; rated only to –40°C to +85°C | Choose when 16-bit resolution and sub-5 µs latency are required, and extended temperature is not mandatory |
Compared with AD574ASD, AD7892BRZ offers faster conversion and smaller footprint but sacrifices military temperature capability and parallel bus compatibility; ADS8320U delivers higher resolution and SNR but lacks hermetic packaging and guaranteed no-missing-codes at extreme temperatures.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the AD574ASD?
The AD574ASD is specified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C. This military-grade temperature range is validated per MIL-STD-883 screening and applies to all electrical parameters including linearity error, no-missing-codes guarantee, and reference stability. The AD574ASD maintains ±1 LSB linearity and 11-bit monotonicity across this full range, making it suitable for aerospace, defense, and downhole applications where ambient conditions exceed commercial limits.
Does the AD574ASD require external components to operate?
No, the AD574ASD requires no external components for basic 12-bit conversion functionality. It integrates a temperature-compensated 10 V reference, internal clock, 12-bit DAC, comparator, SAR logic, and three-state output buffers. Only power supplies (+5 V, +12/+15 V, –12/–15 V), analog input connections (10VIN or 20VIN), and digital control signals (CE, CS, R/C, AO, 12/8) are needed. External 50 Ω resistor is optional for full-scale calibration trim; offset trim resistors are optional for fine adjustment.
How does the AD574ASD handle bipolar versus unipolar input ranges?
The AD574ASD supports both modes via dedicated pins and internal resistor networks. For unipolar operation (0–10 V or 0–20 V), BIP OFF is grounded and analog signal is applied to 10VIN or 20VIN. For bipolar operation (±5 V or ±10 V), BIP OFF is connected to REF OUT (10 V), enabling the internal 10 kΩ offset resistor. Input impedance is 5 kΩ for 10VIN and 10 kΩ for 20VIN, with thin-film resistors trimmed for absolute calibration - eliminating need for external gain stages in most configurations.
What is the purpose of the 12/8 pin on the AD574ASD?
The 12/8 pin on the AD574ASD selects the data output format: when hardwired to VLOGIC, it enables 12-bit parallel output on DB11–DB0; when hardwired to digital common (Pin 15), it enables two 8-bit byte reads - high byte (DB11–DB4) on first access, low byte (DB3–DB0 plus four trailing zeros) on second. This pin is not TTL-compatible and must be directly tied to one of those two nodes; floating or logic-driven states will cause undefined behavior and potential bus contention.
Can the AD574ASD be used with ±12 V power supplies instead of ±15 V?
Yes, the AD574ASD supports ±12 V supplies per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and operating specifications. However, when using ±12 V, the internal reference output current capability drops due to reduced headroom; Analog Devices recommends buffering the REF OUT with an op amp (e.g., AD707) if external loads exceed 1 mA or if operation over full temperature range is required. The AD574ASD's power supply rejection specification (±1 LSB change in full-scale calibration) remains valid for ±12 V operation.
