Product details
Overview
AD674BKNZ from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with on-chip 10 V reference, clock generator, and three-state digital output buffers. It supports 0 V–10 V, 0 V–20 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V input ranges; operates from +5 V logic, +12/+15 V analog, and –12/–15 V analog supplies; and delivers ≤15 µs max conversion time. It serves as a drop-in high-speed upgrade for AD574A in industrial data acquisition and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AD674BKNZ datasheet, AD674BKNZ pinout, AD674BKNZ application, or AD674BKNZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its industry-standard 28-pin DIP pinout, dual-mode (12-bit word or 8+4-byte) microprocessor interface, laser-trimmed ±1/2 LSB linearity (B grade), and MIL-STD-883-compliant variants for ruggedized systems.
Technical Context
The AD674BKNZ implements a SAR architecture with internal 12-bit current-output DAC, comparator, and precision voltage divider network. Its analog front-end includes factory-laser-trimmed thin-film resistors for offset, scaling, and bipolar offset calibration - enabling four calibrated input ranges without external components.
Digital control uses asynchronous full-control mode (CS/CE/R/C/A0/12-8) or standalone mode (R/C edge-triggered), supporting both 8-bit and 12-bit read cycles. Output buffers are three-state, compatible with 8- and 16-bit microprocessor buses, and feature guaranteed no-missing-codes performance across –40°C to +85°C.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7819BRUZ | 12-bit, 1.6 µs conversion, serial SPI interface, +3.3 V only supply | Requires level-shifting for 5 V microcontrollers; lacks internal reference and bipolar support | Choose for space-constrained, low-power, serial-interface designs where speed >15 µs is mandatory |

FAQ
What is the maximum conversion time specification for the AD674BKNZ?
The AD674BKNZ has a maximum conversion time of 15 µs across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This applies to the 12-bit conversion cycle and is guaranteed for the B-grade version. The timing is measured under worst-case supply conditions (+12 V or +15 V VCC, –12 V or –15 V VEE, +5 V VLOGIC) and includes setup, conversion, and status assertion. The AD674BKNZ achieves this while maintaining ±1/2 LSB integral nonlinearity, making it suitable for high-throughput data acquisition where latency and accuracy are both critical.
Does the AD674BKNZ require external components to operate?
No, the AD674BKNZ is a complete monolithic ADC requiring only power supplies (+5 V, +12/+15 V, –12/–15 V), analog input connections, and digital control signals. It integrates a precision 10 V reference, clock generator, SAR core, DAC, comparator, and three-state output buffers. External components are optional only for calibration trimming (e.g., 50 Ω resistor between REF OUT and REF IN) or input protection - not for basic functionality. This integration reduces board area, improves reliability, and accelerates time-to-market compared to discrete ADC + reference + clock solutions.
How does the AD674BKNZ support both unipolar and bipolar input ranges?
The AD674BKNZ supports unipolar (0 V–10 V, 0 V–20 V) and bipolar (±5 V, ±10 V) ranges via hardware pin configuration: 10 VIN and 20 VIN pins accept the analog signal, while BIP OFF (Pin 12) selects mode - tied to REF OUT for bipolar, or to AGND for unipolar. Internal laser-trimmed thin-film resistors configure the input divider and offset network accordingly. No software configuration or external op amps are needed. This hardware-selectable flexibility allows one AD674BKNZ design to serve multiple sensor types across industrial and test applications without redesign.
What is the purpose of the STS pin on the AD674BKNZ?
The STS (Status) pin on the AD674BKNZ is an open-collector digital output that goes HIGH when a conversion is in progress and transitions LOW when conversion completes and data is valid on DB0–DB11. It enables interrupt-driven or polled data acquisition without requiring constant bus monitoring. In microprocessor systems, STS can directly trigger an IRQ line or be sampled by firmware to synchronize read cycles - eliminating timing guesswork and ensuring reliable data capture. Its behavior is consistent across all operating modes (full-control and standalone) and grades.
Is the AD674BKNZ pin-compatible with the AD574A?
Yes, the AD674BKNZ uses the exact same 28-pin DIP pinout as the industry-standard AD574A, including identical signal names, locations, and electrical behavior for all control and data pins. This enables direct drop-in replacement in existing AD574A-based designs. Key improvements include faster 15 µs max conversion time (vs. 35 µs for AD574A), lower power consumption, improved linearity (±1/2 LSB vs. ±0.5 LSB typical), and enhanced temperature stability - all without requiring PCB or firmware changes.
