Product details
Overview
AD674BBD from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated voltage reference, clock generator, and three-state digital 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 with ±1/2 LSB integral nonlinearity over –40°C to +85°C. It is used in precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring calibrated, self-contained ADC functionality without external timing or reference components.
For engineers reviewing the AD674BBD datasheet, AD674BBD pinout, AD674BBD application, or AD674BBD equivalent, key selection considerations include its hermetic 28-pin ceramic DIP package, bipolar/unipolar range flexibility, internal 10.00 V ±1% reference with 2.0 mA drive capability, 12-bit resolution with no missing codes guaranteed, and direct interface compatibility with 8- and 16-bit microprocessor buses via byte-addressable or full-word read modes.
Technical Context
The AD674BBD implements a SAR architecture with on-chip 12-bit current-output DAC, comparator, and laser-trimmed thin-film resistor network for scaling and bipolar offset. Its internal 10 V reference is temperature-compensated (10 ppm/°C typical) and trimmed to ±1% initial accuracy, enabling stable full-scale calibration across temperature.
Control logic supports two operational modes: full-control mode (using CS, CE, R/C, A0, and 12/8 pins) and standalone mode (triggered by R/C edge). Conversion timing is deterministic-15 µs max for 12-bit cycles-and status is signaled via active-high STS pin that goes low upon completion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit-provides 4096 discrete output codes with no missing codes guaranteed over full temperature range. |
| Conversion Time | 15 µs maximum-enables sampling rates up to ~66.7 kSPS in burst mode with deterministic latency. |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±1/2 LSB (B grade)-ensures monotonicity and accurate code-center alignment for high-fidelity signal reconstruction. |
| Input Ranges | 0 V–10 V, 0 V–20 V, ±5 V, ±10 V-supports both unipolar sensor outputs and bipolar transducer signals without external gain switching. |
| Reference Voltage | 10.00 V ±1%, 10 ppm/°C typical TC-supplies internal DAC and is available externally to drive bipolar offset resistors and external circuitry (2.0 mA total). |
| Supply Voltages | +5 V (VLOGIC), +12 V/+15 V (VCC), –12 V/–15 V (VEE)-requires dual analog rails and single logic rail; no charge pump or LDO needed. |
| Digital Interface | 8-/12-bit parallel output with three-state buffers-compatible with 8080/8086-style bus timing; supports byte-mode (A0/12/8 controlled) or full-word reads. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VLOGIC (Pin 1) | Logic power supply input | Supplies +5 V ±10% to internal CMOS logic; decoupling to DGND (Pin 15) is mandatory for noise immunity. |
| 12/8 (Pin 2) | Data format select input | LOW enables 8-bit byte-mode output; HIGH selects 12-bit parallel word output-configures bus interface behavior. |
| CS (Pin 3) | Chip select input | Active LOW; enables device decoding in multi-peripheral systems-must be asserted before CE for valid operation. |
| A0 (Pin 4) | Byte address/short cycle control | HIGH during convert start initiates 8-bit cycle; LOW enables full 12-bit conversion-also selects DB11–DB8 (LOW) or DB3–DB0 (HIGH) during read. |
| R/C (Pin 5) | Read/Convert control | Active LOW initiates conversion in full-control mode; falling edge triggers conversion in standalone mode-dual-role timing pin. |
| CE (Pin 6) | Chip enable input | Active HIGH; latches control inputs and initiates read or convert sequence-timing-critical setup/hold requirements apply (50 ns). |
| VCC (Pin 7) | Positive analog supply | +12 V or +15 V input; powers internal DAC, comparator, and reference-requires local 4.7 µF + 0.1 µF decoupling to AGND (Pin 9). |
| REF OUT (Pin 8) | 10 V reference output | Provides trimmed 10.00 V ±1% reference; drives internal circuitry and external loads up to 2.0 mA-must remain stable during conversion. |
| AGND (Pin 9) | Analog ground | Common return for analog supplies, reference, and inputs-must be isolated from DGND except at single-point star ground. |
| REF IN (Pin 10) | Reference input | Connected via 50 Ω resistor to REF OUT for closed-loop reference operation-sets DAC full-scale current and scaling accuracy. |
| VEE (Pin 11) | Negative analog supply | –12 V or –15 V input; powers analog core-decoupling to AGND essential to suppress noise-induced code errors. |
| BIP OFF (Pin 12) | Bipolar offset adjust | Connected to REF OUT via 50 Ω for ±5 V/±10 V operation; tied to AGND for 0 V–10 V/0 V–20 V unipolar mode-configures input range centering. |
| 10 VIN (Pin 13) | 10 V span analog input | Accepts 0 V–10 V (unipolar) or –5 V–+5 V (bipolar); input impedance ≈5 kΩ-used only when 20 VIN is not connected. |
| 20 VIN (Pin 14) | 20 V span analog input | Accepts 0 V–20 V (unipolar) or –10 V–+10 V (bipolar); input impedance ≈10 kΩ-used only when 10 VIN is not connected. |
| DGND (Pin 15) | Digital ground | Return path for logic circuits and output buffers-must be separated from AGND except at system-level ground point. |
| DB0–DB3 (Pins 16–19) | LSB data outputs | Provide bits 0–3 in 12-bit mode; enabled during read when A0 = HIGH-three-state buffered for direct microprocessor bus connection. |
| DB4–DB7 (Pins 20–23) | Middle data outputs | Provide bits 4–7 in 12-bit mode; enabled when A0 = LOW in byte-mode-output float delay <150 ns ensures clean bus release. |
| DB8–DB11 (Pins 24–27) | MSB data outputs | Provide bits 8–11 in 12-bit mode; always active during read-bit 11 (MSB) indicates sign in bipolar formats. |
| STS (Pin 28) | Status output | Active HIGH during conversion; transitions LOW within 225 ns of completion-used for interrupt-driven or polling-based data capture. |

FAQ
What is the maximum conversion time specification for the AD674BBD?
The AD674BBD has a maximum conversion time of 15 µs for a full 12-bit cycle, as specified in the Analog Devices AD674B/AD774B datasheet Rev. C for the B grade at –40°C to +85°C. This timing is guaranteed under worst-case supply conditions (VCC = +12 V ±5%, VEE = –12 V ±5%, VLOGIC = +5 V ±10%) and includes all internal SAR sequencing, DAC settling, and comparator decision latency. The AD674BBD achieves this while maintaining ±1/2 LSB integral nonlinearity.
Does the AD674BBD require external components to operate as a complete ADC?
No, the AD674BBD does not require external components to operate as a complete ADC. It integrates a precision 10.00 V ±1% reference, internal clock generator, 12-bit SAR core, and three-state output buffers. Only power supplies (+5 V, +12/+15 V, –12/–15 V), analog input connections (10 VIN or 20 VIN), and control signals (CS, CE, R/C, A0, 12/8) are needed. External resistors (e.g., 50 Ω between REF OUT and REF IN) are required only for reference closure and bipolar offset configuration-not for basic conversion functionality.
What input voltage ranges does the AD674BBD support, and how are they selected?
The AD674BBD supports four calibrated input ranges: 0 V–10 V, 0 V–20 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V. Selection is determined by external pin strapping: 10 VIN (Pin 13) is used for 0 V–10 V or ±5 V ranges; 20 VIN (Pin 14) is used for 0 V–20 V or ±10 V ranges-only one may be connected. Bipolar operation is enabled by connecting BIP OFF (Pin 12) to REF OUT via a 50 Ω resistor; unipolar mode uses BIP OFF tied to AGND (Pin 9). No software or register writes are needed.
Is the AD674BBD pin-compatible with the AD574A, and what are the key functional improvements?
Yes, the AD674BBD is pin-compatible with the industry-standard AD574A, sharing identical 28-pin DIP pinout and control protocol. Key improvements include 15 µs maximum conversion time (vs. 35 µs for AD574A), ±1/2 LSB integral nonlinearity (vs. ±1 LSB for standard AD574A), lower power consumption (~375 mW vs. ~500 mW), and tighter internal reference accuracy (10.00 V ±1% vs. ±2%). These enhancements enable direct drop-in replacement in existing AD574A-based designs with measurable performance gains.
What is the purpose and electrical specification of the REF OUT pin on the AD674BBD?
The REF OUT pin (Pin 8) provides the AD674BBD's internally generated 10.00 V ±1% reference voltage, trimmed to 10 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient. It supplies current to the internal DAC and bipolar offset circuitry and can deliver up to 2.0 mA to external loads-including the 50 Ω resistor to REF IN and optional external circuitry-provided the load remains constant during conversion. Any variation in external load current will introduce full-scale gain errors, so dynamic loading (e.g., switching regulators) must be avoided.
