Product details
Overview
AD574ATD 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 –55°C to +125°C, supports unipolar (0 V to +10 V or 0 V to +20 V) and bipolar (±5 V or ±10 V) input ranges, and achieves 35 µs max conversion time for full 12-bit resolution - used in high-reliability industrial control and aerospace data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD574ATD datasheet, AD574ATD pinout, AD574ATD application, or AD574ATD equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12-bit no-missing-codes performance across military temperature range, internal 10.00 V ±0.2% Zener reference with 1.5 mA drive capability, and dual-mode (12/8-bit) parallel interface compatibility with 8-bit microprocessor buses.
Technical Context
The AD574ATD implements a fully self-contained successive-approximation architecture with integrated 12-bit current-output DAC, comparator, SAR, and reference. Its internal buried-Zener voltage reference ensures ±25 ppm/°C full-scale temperature coefficient and stable operation without external trimming resistors in many applications.
Control logic supports flexible interfacing: R/C and CE/CS jointly initiate conversion or enable data readout; AO selects MSB/LSB nibble access; 12/8 pin configures 12-bit parallel or two 8-bit byte outputs. STS provides real-time status signaling, and all digital inputs meet standard TTL voltage thresholds except 12/8, which must be hard-wired to VLOGIC or digital common.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete digital codes with 2.44 mV LSB step size at 10 V span. |
| Linearity Error (TMIN–TMAX) | ±1 LSB - guarantees monotonic transfer function and predictable code transitions across –55°C to +125°C. |
| No Missing Codes | 12-bit - all 4096 codes appear in monotonic sequence over full temperature range, critical for closed-loop control fidelity. |
| Internal Reference | 10.00 V ±0.2% - low-drift buried-Zener source enabling system-level calibration simplification and reduced BOM count. |
| Conversion Time | 35 µs max (12-bit) - enables sampling of signals up to ~26 kHz when paired with AD585 sample-and-hold amplifier. |
| 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 supply configurations. |
| Power Dissipation | 725 mW max - requires thermal-aware PCB layout and decoupling per Analog Devices' recommended grounding scheme. |
Pinout & Package
Ceramic DIP-28 (D-28) package - hermetically sealed, MIL-STD-883 qualified, rated for –65°C to +150°C storage and 175°C max chip temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 15 | Digital Common (DC) | Reference ground for logic supplies and digital I/O; must be tied to analog common (Pin 9) at package for optimal noise rejection. |
| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 | DB11–DB0 | Three-state parallel digital outputs - DB11 (MSB) to DB0 (LSB); configured as 12-bit word or split 8+4 nibbles based on AO and 12/8 states. |
| 14 | STS (Status) | Active-high conversion-in-progress flag - goes high at start, low at completion; used for polling or interrupt-driven read timing. |
| 16 | CE (Chip Enable) | Primary active-low control input - initiates conversion or enables data output when CS is low and R/C state is valid. |
| 17 | CS (Chip Select) | Secondary active-low enable - must be low with CE for any operation; slower than CE due to added propagation delay. |
| 18 | R/C (Read/Convert) | Level-sensitive mode selector - low = conversion start, high = data read; must be stable before CE assertion to avoid bus contention. |
| 19 | A0 (Address/Byte Select) | Selects data access mode - low = enable MSB nibble (DB11–DB8), high = enable LSB nibble (DB3–DB0) plus four trailing zeros in 8-bit mode. |
| 20 | 12/8 | Data format control - tied to VLOGIC for 12-bit parallel output, tied to DC for two 8-bit byte reads; not TTL-compatible. |
| 21 | REF OUT | 10.00 V reference output - supplies internal DAC and external circuitry; limited to 1.5 mA constant load during conversion. |
| 22 | REF IN | Reference input - accepts external 10 V source or connects to REF OUT via 50 Ω resistor for full-scale calibration trim. |
| 23 | BIP OFF | Bipolar offset adjustment node - connected to REF OUT for ±5 V/±10 V operation; grounded for unipolar mode. |
| 24 | 10VIN | Unipolar 10 V span analog input - 5 kΩ input impedance; used with 0 V to +10 V or ±5 V signals. |
| 25 | 20VIN | Unipolar 20 V span analog input - 10 kΩ input impedance; used with 0 V to +20 V or ±10 V signals. |
| 26 | ANA COM (AC) | Analog common - primary ground reference for internal reference, comparator, and analog inputs; must be low-impedance and isolated from noisy digital returns. |
| 27 | VEE | Negative analog supply - –11.4 V to –16.5 V; powers internal DAC, comparator, and reference circuitry. |
| 28 | VCC | Positive analog supply - +11.4 V to +16.5 V; supplies same internal blocks as VEE. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7874KP | 12-bit, 10 µs conversion, serial SPI interface, no internal reference - requires external 10 V ref and clock. | Lower power (120 mW), smaller SOIC-28 package, but lacks parallel interface and on-chip timing - suited for space-constrained embedded designs with SPI host. | Select AD7874KP only if system uses SPI and can accommodate external reference; AD574ATD remains preferred for parallel bus integration and drop-in replacement in legacy designs. |
| MAX160BCCN+ | 12-bit, 25 µs conversion, ±5 V supply only, no internal reference, CMOS-compatible inputs - requires external 10 V ref and clock generation. | Military temp grade (–55°C to +125°C), plastic DIP-28, but higher full-scale error (±0.5% FS) and no guaranteed no-missing-codes spec. | Choose MAX160BCCN+ only for cost-sensitive programs where ±0.5% FS error is acceptable; AD574ATD provides superior linearity (±1 LSB) and guaranteed monotonicity. |
Compared with AD7874KP and MAX160BCCN+, the AD574ATD uniquely combines military-temperature-rated ceramic DIP packaging, on-chip 10 V reference, parallel 12-bit interface, and guaranteed 12-bit no-missing-codes - making it irreplaceable in legacy avionics and industrial control upgrades requiring zero hardware redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the AD574ATD?
The AD574ATD 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 ceramic DIP-28 package supports this range with a storage limit of –65°C to +150°C and maximum chip temperature of 175°C.
Does the AD574ATD require external components to operate?
The AD574ATD requires no external components for basic 12-bit conversion functionality - its internal clock, 10.00 V reference, and successive-approximation register are fully integrated. However, external passive components are needed for calibration (e.g., 50 Ω resistor between REF OUT and REF IN for full-scale trim) and analog input conditioning (e.g., op-amp driver for low-impedance source). Decoupling capacitors (4.7 µF tantalum + 0.1 µF ceramic per supply rail) are mandatory for stable operation.
How does the AD574ATD handle bipolar versus unipolar input ranges?
The AD574ATD supports both modes via dedicated pins: unipolar uses 10VIN (0 V to +10 V) or 20VIN (0 V to +20 V) referenced to ANA COM (Pin 26); bipolar uses the same pins but configures BIP OFF (Pin 23) to REF OUT for ±5 V or ±10 V spans. Input impedance is 5 kΩ for 10 V span and 10 kΩ for 20 V span. Offset and gain trims are performed separately for each mode using external potentiometers on Pins 12 and 10.
Can the AD574ATD interface directly with an 8-bit microprocessor bus?
Yes - the AD574ATD supports native 8-bit bus interfacing via its 12/8 pin (Pin 20) and AO pin (Pin 19). When 12/8 is tied to DIGITAL COMMON, the device outputs two 8-bit bytes: AO = 0 enables DB11–DB8 (MSB byte), AO = 1 enables DB3–DB0 followed by four trailing zeros (LSB byte). This eliminates need for external latches or data aligners in 8-bit systems such as Intel 8080 or Zilog Z80 architectures.
What is the purpose of the STS pin on the AD574ATD?
The STS (Status) pin (Pin 14) is an active-high, open-collector output that signals conversion progress: it goes high at the start of any conversion cycle (8-bit or 12-bit) and returns low upon completion. This pin enables polling-based or interrupt-driven data read timing - external logic must wait for STS to go low before asserting CE and R/C high to read output data, preventing bus contention and invalid reads.
