Product details
Overview
AD574AUD from Analog Devices is a monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with internal 10 V reference, ±5 V/±10 V bipolar and 0–10 V/0–20 V unipolar input ranges, and guaranteed ±1 LSB linearity over –55°C to +125°C. It delivers 35 µs max 12-bit conversion time, supports 12/8-bit parallel data output, and operates on ±12 V or ±15 V analog supplies plus +5 V logic supply.
For engineers reviewing the AD574AUD datasheet, AD574AUD pinout, AD574AUD application, or AD574AUD equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed military-grade temperature performance, and two field-proven alternative ADCs for high-reliability data acquisition systems requiring guaranteed no-missing-codes operation across extreme environments.
Technical Context
The AD574AUD implements a fully integrated successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with internal current-output DAC, comparator, clock generator, and output buffers-requiring zero external components for basic operation. Its buried Zener reference delivers 10.00 V ±0.2% with ±12.5 ppm/°C full-scale tempco and 1.5 mA output drive capability.
Control logic supports microprocessor interfacing via CE/CS/R/C/A0/12/8 signals, enabling selectable 8-bit or 12-bit conversion cycles and flexible 12-bit data readout in either single-word or dual-byte mode. STS output provides end-of-conversion status, and all digital I/O meets standard TTL voltage thresholds with ≤5 pF capacitance.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7892BRZ | Single-supply (+5 V only), 1 µs conversion, no internal reference, serial SPI interface | Suitable for low-power embedded systems; lacks bipolar input and military temp range | Choose when board space and power are constrained, and external reference + signal conditioning are acceptable |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the AD574AUD?
The AD574AUD is specified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C. This military-grade temperature range is validated per MIL-STD-883 screening requirements and applies to all electrical specifications including linearity error (±1 LSB), no missing codes (12-bit), and reference stability (±12.5 ppm/°C). The ceramic DIP-28 package ensures mechanical and thermal robustness across this full range. AD574AUD maintains guaranteed performance without derating.
Does the AD574AUD require external components to operate?
No, the AD574AUD requires no external components for basic 12-bit conversion functionality. Its monolithic design integrates a 10 V buried Zener reference, successive-approximation register, current-output DAC, comparator, clock generator, and output buffers. Only power supplies (+5 V logic, ±12 V or ±15 V analog), analog input signal, and control signals (CE/CS/R/C/A0/12/8) are needed. External trimmers are optional for fine calibration but not required for specification compliance.
How does the AD574AUD handle bipolar versus unipolar input ranges?
The AD574AUD supports both bipolar (±5 V, ±10 V) and unipolar (0–10 V, 0–20 V) input ranges through dedicated pins: 10VIN and 20VIN for unipolar, and internal configuration of BIP OFF and ANA COM for bipolar. In bipolar mode, BIP OFF connects to REF OUT; in unipolar mode, it grounds. Input impedance is 5 kΩ for 10 V span and 10 kΩ for 20 V span. No external resistors are needed - all scaling is implemented with factory-trimmed thin-film resistors.
What is the conversion time and data output format of the AD574AUD?
The AD574AUD achieves 35 µs maximum conversion time for full 12-bit results. It supports two data output formats selected by the 12/8 pin: when tied to VLOGIC, DB11–DB0 deliver a single 12-bit parallel word; when tied to Digital Common, AO selects either the 8 MSBs (AO = 0) or 4 LSBs + 4 trailing zeroes (AO = 1) for 8-bit bus compatibility. STS pin provides active-high conversion status for precise timing control.
Can the AD574AUD's internal reference drive external circuitry?
Yes, the AD574AUD's internal 10 V reference (REF OUT) can supply up to 1.5 mA to external loads, sufficient for driving one additional op-amp buffer or a second ADC reference input. However, the load must remain constant during conversion - any variation will introduce gain error. For ±12 V supply operation or full-temperature-range loading, Analog Devices recommends buffering REF OUT with an op-amp such as the AD708 to maintain stability and prevent reference droop.
