Product details
Overview
AD674BBR from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with on-chip 10 V reference, clock, and three-state digital output buffers. It supports ±5 V/±10 V bipolar and 0 V–10 V/0 V–20 V unipolar input ranges, operates from +5 V logic and ±12 V/±15 V analog supplies, 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 direct microprocessor bus interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the AD674BBR datasheet, AD674BBR pinout, AD674BBR application, or AD674BBR equivalent, key selection considerations include its industry-standard AD574A-compatible 28-pin SOIC package, dual-mode 8-/12-bit parallel data output, internal reference stability (10.00 V ±1%, 10 ppm/°C), and guaranteed no missing codes across full temperature range.
Technical Context
The AD674BBR implements a SAR architecture with integrated current-output DAC, comparator, and laser-trimmed thin-film resistor network for scaling and bipolar offset. Its control logic supports both full-control mode (using CS, CE, R/C, A0, 12/8) and standalone mode (triggered by R/C edge), enabling flexible integration with 8- or 16-bit microprocessors.
It features on-chip voltage divider networks for 10 V and 20 V span inputs, programmable bipolar/unipolar operation via BIP OFF pin configuration, and status flag (STS) signaling conversion completion. The internal 10 V reference drives external loads up to 2.0 mA while maintaining accuracy during conversion.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VLOGIC (Pin 1) | Digital power supply input | Supplies +5 V logic core; 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 | Configures output format: HIGH = single 12-bit word; LOW = two 8-bit bytes (MSB first, LSB zero-padded). |
| CS (Pin 3) | Chip Select input | Active LOW; enables device for read or convert operations when CE is also asserted. |
| A0 (Pin 4) | Byte address/short cycle input | During conversion start: LOW = 12-bit cycle, HIGH = 8-bit cycle; during read: controls DB11–DB4 vs. DB3–DB0 enablement. |
| R/C (Pin 5) | Read/Convert control input | Active HIGH = read data; Active LOW = initiate conversion (full-control mode); falling edge triggers conversion (standalone mode). |
| CE (Pin 6) | Chip Enable input | Active HIGH; initiates conversion or read when CS is LOW and R/C state is valid; defines timing window for control signals. |
| VCC (Pin 7) | Analog positive supply | +12 V or +15 V analog rail; must be decoupled to AGND (Pin 9) with low-ESR capacitors to prevent code instability. |
| REF OUT (Pin 8) | Analog reference output | 10.00 V ±1% buffered reference; drives BIP OFF (Pin 12) and REF IN (Pin 10); supports ≤2.0 mA external load. |
| AGND (Pin 9) | Analog ground | Common return for analog circuitry; must be isolated from DGND (Pin 15) except at single-point star ground to minimize noise coupling. |
| REF IN (Pin 10) | Reference input | 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 analog rail; decoupling to AGND is critical for bipolar mode accuracy and noise rejection. |
| BIP OFF (Pin 12) | Bipolar offset control | 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 | Accepts 0–10 V (unipolar) or ±5 V (bipolar); input impedance ≈5 kΩ; not connected when using 20 VIN. |
| 20 VIN (Pin 14) | 20 V span analog input | Accepts 0–20 V (unipolar) or ±10 V (bipolar); input impedance ≈10 kΩ; not connected when using 10 VIN. |
| DGND (Pin 15) | Digital ground | Common return for logic outputs and VLOGIC; must be separated from AGND except at system-level ground point. |
| DB0–DB3 (Pins 16–19) | Digital output bits (LSB) | Low-order 4 bits; enabled during read when A0 = HIGH; tri-stated when A0 = LOW in 12-bit mode. |
| DB4–DB7 (Pins 20–23) | Digital output bits (middle) | Middle 4 bits; enabled when A0 = LOW in 12-bit mode; output zeros when A0 = HIGH in 8-bit byte mode. |
| DB8–DB11 (Pins 24–27) | Digital output bits (MSB) | High-order 4 bits; always active during read; MSB (DB11) is bit 11 of 12-bit result. |
| STS (Pin 28) | Status output | Active HIGH during conversion; goes LOW when result is ready and output buffers are enabled for read access. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum conversion time specification for the AD674BBR?
The AD674BBR has a maximum conversion time of 15 µs across its full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This value is guaranteed for both 8-bit and 12-bit conversion cycles under worst-case supply conditions (+5 V ±10%, +12 V/+15 V ±10%, –12 V/–15 V ±10%). The 15 µs figure applies specifically to the AD674BBR grade and distinguishes it from the faster AD774BBR variant (8 µs max). This timing enables sustained sampling rates up to approximately 66.7 kSPS in continuous acquisition systems.
Does the AD674BBR require external calibration components for basic operation?
No, the AD674BBR does not require external calibration components for basic operation. Its laser-trimmed thin-film resistors provide factory-calibrated scaling and bipolar offset, supporting four input ranges (±5 V, ±10 V, 0–10 V, 0–20 V) with guaranteed ±1/2 LSB integral nonlinearity. A 50 Ω resistor between REF OUT and REF IN is required for internal reference use, and BIP OFF must be connected to REF OUT (bipolar) or AGND (unipolar)-but no trimmers, op amps, or external references are needed for functional operation. The AD674BBR datasheet confirms that "in many applications, no calibration trimming will be required."
Can the AD674BBR operate with a single +5 V supply?
No, the AD674BBR cannot operate with a single +5 V supply. It requires three independent supply rails: +5 V (VLOGIC, Pin 1), +12 V or +15 V (VCC, Pin 7), and –12 V or –15 V (VEE, Pin 11). The analog section uses bipolar supplies to support ±5 V and ±10 V input ranges and maintain linearity across the full 12-bit transfer function. Attempting to power VCC or VEE from +5 V will result in catastrophic failure or undefined behavior, as confirmed by the Absolute Maximum Ratings table specifying VCC to DGND = 0 to +16.5 V and VEE to DGND = 0 to –16.5 V.
What is the purpose of the 12/8 and A0 pins on the AD674BBR?
The 12/8 and A0 pins configure the AD674BBR's digital interface mode. The 12/8 pin selects overall data organization: HIGH enables single 12-bit word output; LOW enables two 8-bit byte reads (MSB first, LSB zero-padded). The A0 pin controls byte addressing during read cycles: when 12/8 = LOW and A0 = LOW, DB11–DB8 are enabled; when A0 = HIGH, DB3–DB0 are enabled and DB7–DB4 are forced to zero. During conversion start, A0 = LOW initiates a full 12-bit cycle; A0 = HIGH initiates an abbreviated 8-bit cycle. These pins allow seamless integration with both 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessor buses without external logic.
Is the AD674BBR pin-compatible with the AD574A, and what are the key functional improvements?
Yes, the AD674BBR is fully pin-compatible with the AD574A in the same 28-pin SOIC (R-28) package. Key functional improvements include: 15 µs maximum conversion time versus 35 µs for the AD574A; ±1/2 LSB integral nonlinearity (vs. ±1 LSB for AD574A); integrated 10 V reference (eliminating external reference IC); lower power consumption (375 mW typical vs. 500+ mW); and enhanced temperature stability (10 ppm/°C reference drift vs. 25 ppm/°C). These improvements enable direct drop-in replacement in legacy AD574A designs while improving system accuracy, speed, and power efficiency without PCB changes.
