Product details
Overview
AD679JD from Analog Devices is a complete 14-bit, 128 kSPS monolithic sampling ADC integrating sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA), voltage reference, clock generator, and 8-bit bus interface. It delivers 76 dB S/N+D (typ), 1 MHz full-power bandwidth, and 10 MΩ input impedance for direct connection to unbuffered sources in precision data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD679JD datasheet, AD679JD pinout, AD679JD application, or AD679JD equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed AC/DC specifications per J-grade, real-world timing behavior, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative options for signal chain design continuity.
Technical Context
The AD679JD implements a recursive subranging architecture with flash converter circuitry and error correction to achieve 14-bit resolution at 128 kSPS. Its on-chip SHA supports 1.5 µs input settling time and 150 ps aperture jitter, enabling accurate sampling of signals up to 1 MHz full-power bandwidth.
It operates from +5 V (VDD), ±12 V (VCC/VEE) supplies, dissipating 560 mW (typ), and features factory-laser-trimmed thin-film resistors for stable DC accuracy. The device supports both synchronous (CS-gated) and asynchronous (CS-independent) conversion control via the SYNC pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 14-bit - guarantees 0.61 mV LSB step size over 10 V full-scale range |
| Sampling Rate | 128 kSPS - enables real-time capture of signals up to 64 kHz Nyquist frequency |
| S/N+D Ratio | 76 dB (typ) at –0.5 dB input - defines usable dynamic range for low-noise signal processing |
| Full-Power Bandwidth | 1 MHz - supports accurate digitization of fast transients without amplitude loss |
| Input Impedance | 10 MΩ - eliminates need for external buffer when interfacing to high-impedance sensors or multiplexers |
| Reference Output | 5.00 V ±20 mV - provides stable on-chip reference for unipolar/bipolar mode operation |
| Conversion Time | 6.3 µs - determines minimum inter-conversion interval in high-throughput systems |
Pinout & Package
AD679JD is supplied in a 28-lead ceramic dual-in-line package (CerDIP, D-28), rated for 0°C to +70°C operation and compliant with MIL-STD-883 screening options.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN (6) | Analog Input | High-impedance node accepting 0–10 V unipolar or ±5 V bipolar signals directly |
| BIPOFF (10) | Mode Configuration | Connect to AGND for unipolar mode (straight binary); to REFOUT for bipolar mode (twos complement) |
| REFIN (9)/REFOUT (8) | Reference Interface | REFIN accepts 5 V input; REFOUT delivers regulated 5 V reference for internal use and external buffering |
| SC (3) | Control Input | Active-low start-convert trigger; must be pulsed (not held low) to avoid accuracy degradation |
| EOC (27) | Status Output | Open-drain in asynchronous mode (requires 3 kΩ pull-up); three-state in synchronous mode |
| HBE (15) | Data Control | Selects high byte (LOW) or low byte (HIGH) output on DB7–DB0 during 14-bit two-read sequence |
| DGND (12,14) | Digital Ground | Isolated return path for digital logic and bus interface; must be separated from AGND per layout guidelines |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD678JD | 12-bit, 200 kSPS; pin-compatible but lower resolution and higher speed; no guaranteed DC specs for J-grade | Better suited for bandwidth-critical but resolution-tolerant applications like motor control feedback | Select AD678JD only when 12-bit resolution suffices and >128 kSPS throughput is required |
| ADS8505IPFB | 16-bit, 250 kSPS; serial SPI interface; requires external reference and clock; 5 V single supply only | Designed for compact, low-power portable instrumentation where board space and supply count constrain design | Choose ADS8505IPFB when higher resolution and serial interface justify added external component count and layout complexity |
Compared with AD678JD and ADS8505IPFB, the AD679JD uniquely balances 14-bit resolution, integrated reference/clock, and parallel 8-bit bus compatibility-making it optimal for legacy microprocessor-based data loggers and industrial controllers requiring drop-in upgrade paths without PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AD679JD?
The AD679JD is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This J-grade temperature range is validated per the ordering guide and applies to all AC parameters; DC accuracy specifications (e.g., INL, gain error) are provided as typical values at 25°C and exhibit defined drift characteristics across the full range.
Does the AD679JD require external calibration components?
The AD679JD is factory laser-trimmed and requires no external calibration for baseline operation. In unipolar mode, only a single 50 Ω 1% resistor is needed; bipolar mode uses two trim resistors. These are optional if system-level offset/gain tolerances exceed AD679JD's guaranteed specs (e.g., INL ≤2.5 LSB).
How does the AD679JD handle 14-bit data output on an 8-bit bus?
The AD679JD outputs its 14-bit result in two sequential 8-bit reads: first the high byte (DB7–DB0), then the low byte (DB5–DB0 padded with zeros). HBE pin controls byte selection, and data is left-justified in the 16-bit field-ensuring seamless compatibility with 8-bit microprocessor buses without additional latching logic.
What power supplies does the AD679JD require?
The AD679JD requires three independent supplies: +12 V (VCC), –12 V (VEE), and +5 V (VDD). Typical current draw is 18 mA (ICC), 25 mA (IEE), and 8 mA (IDD), resulting in 560 mW total dissipation. Power supply rejection is ±6 LSB over ±5% VCC/VEE and ±10% VDD variation.
Is the AD679JD pin-compatible with any other Analog Devices ADCs?
Yes-the AD679JD is pin-compatible with the AD678 12-bit, 200 kSPS ADC. This allows direct hardware replacement in existing designs where higher resolution is needed, though firmware must be updated to handle 14-bit data format and adjusted timing constraints (e.g., longer conversion time of 6.3 µs vs. AD678's ~5 µs).
