Product details
Overview
AD674BAD from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with integrated voltage reference, clock, and three-state output buffers. It operates on ±12 V/±15 V analog supplies and +5 V logic supply, supports 0 V–10 V, 0 V–20 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V input ranges, and delivers 15 µs maximum conversion time across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range in hermetically sealed 28-lead ceramic DIP package for precision data acquisition in test equipment and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD674BAD datasheet, AD674BAD pinout, AD674BAD application, or AD674BAD equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, calibrated input range behavior, timing-critical interface constraints, and validated alternatives for drop-in replacement or design migration scenarios requiring MIL-grade stability and laser-trimmed accuracy.
Technical Context
The AD674BAD implements a SAR architecture with internal 10.00 V ±1% trimmed reference and on-chip clock, eliminating external timing components. Its analog front-end includes factory-laser-trimmed thin-film resistors for scaling and bipolar offset, enabling four calibrated input ranges without external calibration circuitry.
Digital interface uses dual-mode three-state buffers supporting either 12-bit parallel read or byte-oriented 8+4-bit access via A0 and 12/8 control pins. Conversion is initiated by R/C falling edge in standalone mode or CE/R/C combination in full-control mode, with status flag (STS) indicating active conversion.

Pinout & Package
AD674BAD is housed in a 28-lead hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line package (D-28), designed for high-reliability industrial and extended-temperature applications. Pin numbering follows standard DIP top-view convention with Pin 1 at top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VLOGIC (Pin 1) | Digital power supply input | +5 V logic rail; must be decoupled directly to DGND (Pin 15) with 4.7 µF + 0.1 µF capacitor network |
| 12/8 (Pin 2) | Digital mode select input | LOW = two 8-bit reads; HIGH = single 12-bit parallel read - determines data organization for microprocessor interface |
| CS (Pin 3) | Chip Select input | Active LOW; enables device decoding in multi-peripheral bus systems; must be stable before CE assertion |
| A0 (Pin 4) | Byte address/short cycle input | HIGH during convert start = 8-bit cycle; LOW = full 12-bit cycle; during read = selects MSB or LSB nibble |
| R/C (Pin 5) | Read/Convert control input | Active LOW = initiate conversion (standalone mode); Active HIGH = enable data read (full-control mode) |
| CE (Pin 6) | Chip Enable input | Active HIGH; initiates conversion or read when CS is asserted; timing-critical setup/hold requirements apply |
| VCC (Pin 7) | Analog positive supply | +12 V or +15 V; must be decoupled to AGND (Pin 9); noise on this rail directly impacts full-scale calibration |
| REF OUT (Pin 8) | Analog reference output | 10.00 V ±1% source; drives internal DAC and external bipolar offset network; load must remain constant during conversion |
| AGND (Pin 9) | Analog ground reference | Common return for analog inputs, reference, and supplies; must be isolated from DGND except at single-point star ground |
| REF IN (Pin 10) | Reference input terminal | Connected via 50 Ω resistor to REF OUT for internal reference use; open or misconnected causes calibration failure |
| VEE (Pin 11) | Analog negative supply | –12 V or –15 V; decoupling to AGND is mandatory; ripple here induces bipolar offset drift |
| BIP OFF (Pin 12) | Bipolar offset configuration | Connected to REF OUT via 50 Ω for ±5 V/±10 V operation; tied to AGND for 0–10 V/0–20 V unipolar mode |
| 10 VIN (Pin 13) | 10 V span analog input | 0–10 V unipolar or ±5 V bipolar input node; 5 kΩ nominal input impedance; not connected when using 20 VIN |
| 20 VIN (Pin 14) | 20 V span analog input | 0–20 V unipolar or ±10 V bipolar input node; 10 kΩ nominal input impedance; not connected when using 10 VIN |
| DGND (Pin 15) | Digital ground reference | Return for logic I/O and VLOGIC; must be separated from AGND to prevent digital noise coupling into analog path |
| DB0–DB3 (Pins 16–19) | Digital output bits (LSB) | Lower 4 bits of 12-bit word; enabled only when A0 = HIGH during read; tristated otherwise |
| DB4–DB7 (Pins 20–23) | Digital output bits (mid) | Middle 4 bits; enabled when A0 = LOW (MSB byte) or A0 = HIGH (LSB byte with DB4–DB7 = 0) |
| DB8–DB11 (Pins 24–27) | Digital output bits (MSB) | Upper 4 bits; always active during valid read; MSB (DB11) indicates sign in bipolar mode |
| STS (Pin 28) | Status output | Active HIGH during conversion; goes LOW within 225 ns after completion; used for interrupt-driven or polled data capture |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD674BJN | Plastic DIP, 0°C to 70°C, same 15 µs conversion time and ±1 LSB linearity but lower temperature rating and non-hermetic package | Suitable for commercial-grade instrumentation where cost and solderability outweigh long-term reliability needs | Select AD674BJN only if operating environment stays within 0–70°C and humidity exposure is controlled |
| AD1674TQ | Same pinout, 10 µs sampling time, includes sample-and-hold; requires external reference; different power supply scheme (single +15 V) | Preferred for dynamic signal capture requiring aperture accuracy; not drop-in due to REF IN/OUT and supply pin differences | Choose AD1674TQ when acquiring fast-changing waveforms; verify layout changes for S/H decoupling and reference routing |
Compared with AD674BJN, AD674BAD offers extended temperature range and hermetic sealing for field-deployed systems, while AD1674TQ trades integrated reference for faster sampling and built-in S/H-making it superior for transient analysis but requiring redesign of reference and supply networks.

FAQ
What is the maximum conversion rate supported by the AD674BAD?
The AD674BAD has a maximum conversion time of 15 µs, enabling a theoretical maximum throughput of approximately 66,667 samples per second under ideal timing conditions. This assumes minimal inter-conversion overhead and proper bus handshaking using the STS flag or CE timing. Real-world sustained rates depend on microprocessor bus speed, read cycle duration, and system-level interrupt latency. The AD674BAD datasheet specifies tC = 9–15 µs for 12-bit cycles across its –40°C to +85°C operating range.
Can the AD674BAD operate with a single +5 V supply?
No, the AD674BAD requires three separate supplies: +5 V for VLOGIC (Pin 1), +12 V or +15 V for VCC (Pin 7), and –12 V or –15 V for VEE (Pin 11). It cannot function with only a +5 V supply. The analog section relies on dual-rail operation to support bipolar input ranges (±5 V, ±10 V) and maintain linearity across full-scale excursions. Attempting single-supply operation will result in undefined behavior, failed conversions, or permanent damage due to violation of absolute maximum ratings.
How does the AD674BAD handle bipolar versus unipolar input configurations?
The AD674BAD selects bipolar or unipolar mode via hardware connections: tie BIP OFF (Pin 12) to REF OUT (Pin 8) through a 50 Ω resistor for ±5 V or ±10 V operation; connect BIP OFF to AGND (Pin 9) for 0–10 V or 0–20 V unipolar mode. Input selection is made by applying signal to either 10 VIN (Pin 13) or 20 VIN (Pin 14), never both. The internal laser-trimmed resistors ensure calibrated gain and offset for each configuration without software correction.
Is the AD674BAD pin-compatible with the AD574A?
Yes, the AD674BAD is fully pin-compatible with the industry-standard AD574A, sharing identical pin numbering, signal definitions, and physical footprint in the 28-lead DIP package. This allows direct replacement in existing AD574A-based designs. However, the AD674BAD offers faster conversion (15 µs vs. 35 µs), lower power consumption, and improved linearity (±1 LSB vs. ±0.5 LSB typical), making it a functional and performance upgrade without PCB modification.
What decoupling is required for stable operation of the AD674BAD?
Stable AD674BAD operation requires dedicated decoupling on all three supplies: a 4.7 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor from VLOGIC (Pin 1) to DGND (Pin 15); identical networks from VCC (Pin 7) and VEE (Pin 11) to AGND (Pin 9). These must be placed within 5 mm of their respective pins. Shared or remote decoupling causes supply noise coupling, resulting in code flicker, increased INL, or conversion failures-especially critical for the ±12 V/±15 V analog rails.
