Product details
Overview
AD677AD from Analog Devices is a 16-bit, 100 kSPS autocalibrating successive-approximation ADC with on-chip sample-hold, serial output, ±1 LSB INL (typ), –99 dB THD, and 1 MHz full-power bandwidth. It operates from ±12 V analog and +5 V digital supplies, targets precision measurement and signal processing systems requiring stable dc accuracy and dynamic performance.
For engineers reviewing the AD677AD datasheet, AD677AD pinout, AD677AD application, or AD677AD equivalent, key selection criteria include its industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), ceramic DIP-16 package, bipolar ±VREF input support, autocalibration architecture, and compatibility with standard DSP serial interfaces.
Technical Context
The AD677AD implements a switched-capacitor charge-redistribution SAR architecture segmented across two monolithic chips-an analog BiMOS II ADC chip and a digital CMOS controller chip-co-packaged in a single ceramic DIP. Its autocalibration uses an on-chip microcontroller and calibration DAC to measure and store capacitor mismatch corrections in RAM for real-time error compensation.
Conversion is initiated by a rising edge on SAMPLE, followed by 17 CLK pulses; output is twos-complement serial data synchronized to SCLK. The device features separate analog/digital grounds, AGND sense for remote ground referencing, and TTL-compatible logic I/O with independent VDD supply to minimize digital crosstalk.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7606C-16 | 8-channel simultaneous-sampling, integrated analog front end, SPI interface, ±10 V input, no internal reference | Multi-channel data loggers requiring phase-coherent sampling across sensors | Select AD7606C-16 when channel density and simultaneous capture outweigh single-channel speed and autocalibration simplicity |
| ADS8860 | 16-bit, 1 MSPS, pseudo-differential input, SPI interface, internal reference, lower power (15 mW) | Battery-powered portable instruments needing higher throughput and lower supply current | Select ADS8860 when sampling rate >100 kSPS and power budget <50 mW are mandatory; AD677AD preferred for dc-critical industrial use |
Compared with AD7606C-16 and ADS8860, the AD677AD offers superior dc accuracy (±1 LSB INL typ) and built-in autocalibration for long-term stability, but lacks multi-channel capability and modern low-power design-making it optimal for legacy-replacement and high-stability single-channel measurement systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the AD677AD?
The AD677AD is specified for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This rating is confirmed in the Ordering Guide and DC Specifications tables, where AD677AD is explicitly listed under the A, B Grades column with TMIN = –40°C and TMAX = +85°C. Its ceramic DIP-16 package supports reliable thermal performance across this full range without derating.
Does the AD677AD require external calibration components?
No, the AD677AD does not require external calibration components. Its on-chip autocalibration circuitry-including a microcontroller, calibration DAC, and RAM-measures and corrects capacitor mismatch errors internally. As stated in the Product Highlights and Functional Description, this eliminates user adjustments and external trim components, and the AD677AD achieves ±1 LSB INL (typ) post-calibration without external support.
What package type is used for the AD677AD?
The AD677AD uses a 16-pin narrow ceramic dual-in-line package (DIP), designated as "D-16" in the Ordering Guide. This is distinct from plastic DIP (N-16) and SOIC (R-28) variants. The ceramic construction provides superior thermal stability and hermeticity, supporting the device's industrial temperature rating and long-term parameter consistency.
How does the AD677AD handle ground referencing for remote analog sources?
The AD677AD provides dedicated AGND SENSE (Pin 9) to remotely sense the ground potential of the analog signal source. As described in the Pin Description and Applications section, this feature compensates for voltage drops between the source ground and the ADC's local AGND, improving measurement accuracy when VIN is routed over distance-especially critical in distributed industrial sensor networks.
What is the minimum recommended reference voltage for the AD677AD?
The AD677AD supports a VREF input range of 5 V to 10 V, as specified in the DC Specifications table under "VOLTAGE REFERENCE INPUT RANGE." The minimum recommended value is 5 V; operation below this violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and compromises linearity, noise, and full-scale accuracy. Reference stability and low-noise design are emphasized in the Applications section for optimal performance.
