Product details
Overview
AD679TD from Analog Devices is a 14-bit, 128 kSPS monolithic sampling ADC with integrated sample-and-hold amplifier, on-chip 5 V reference, clock generator, and 8-bit bus interface. It delivers 78 dB S/N+D (K/B/T grades), 1 MHz full-power bandwidth, and 10 MΩ input impedance, enabling direct connection to high-impedance sources in precision data acquisition systems for aerospace telemetry and ruggedized test instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD679TD datasheet, AD679TD pinout, AD679TD application, or AD679TD equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed DC/AC specifications across –55°C to +125°C, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for high-reliability analog-to-digital conversion in extended-temperature environments.
Technical Context
The AD679TD implements a recursive subranging architecture with flash converter circuitry and error correction, achieving 14-bit resolution at 128 kSPS while maintaining 500 kHz full-linear bandwidth. Its BiMOS process integrates bipolar precision front-end and CMOS logic, with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors ensuring stable INL (±2.5 LSB) and gain error (±0.11% FSR) over temperature.
It supports both unipolar (0 V to +10 V, straight binary) and bipolar (–5 V to +5 V, twos complement) input modes via BIPOFF pin configuration, and operates from ±12 V analog supplies and +5 V digital supply, dissipating 560 mW typical. Conversion is initiated synchronously (CS-gated) or asynchronously (SC-only), with EOC signaling completion and HBE-controlled two-read output sequencing.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD679TD is supplied in a 28-lead ceramic DIP (package code D-28), hermetically sealed for moisture resistance and thermal stability in harsh environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AIN (Pin 6) | Analog Input | High-impedance (10 MΩ) node accepting ±5 V or 0–10 V signals directly from sensors or multiplexers |

| REFOUT (Pin 8) | Analog Output | Stable 4.98–5.02 V reference source powering external circuitry or biasing BIPOFF |
| SC (Pin 3) | Digital Input | Active-low start-convert trigger; must be pulsed (not held low) to avoid accuracy degradation |
| EOC (Pin 27) | Digital Output | Open-drain in asynchronous mode (requires 3 kΩ pull-up); three-state in synchronous mode |
| HBE (Pin 15) | Digital Input | Selects high byte (LOW) or low byte (HIGH) output on DB7–DB0 during two-read data access |
| DGND (Pins 12,14) | Power Ground | Digital ground return isolated from AGND to prevent digital switching noise from modulating analog conversion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-resolution, extended-temperature ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD679BD | Same architecture and pinout; rated –40°C to +85°C (not –55°C to +125°C); DC specs identical | Not qualified for cryogenic or high-temperature avionics; suitable for commercial/industrial embedded systems | Select AD679BD only if operating temperature stays above –40°C and MIL-STD-883 screening is unnecessary |
| ADS8588SIPM | 16-bit, 100 kSPS SAR ADC; no internal reference; requires external ±12 V and +5 V; 1.25 LSB INL (max) | Higher resolution but lower speed; lacks integrated reference and clock; needs external support circuitry | Choose ADS8588SIPM when 16-bit precision outweighs integration benefits and board space allows added components |
Compared with AD679BD, AD679TD extends operational range to –55°C and adds full MIL-STD-883 qualification; compared with ADS8588SIPM, AD679TD trades 2 bits of resolution for complete subsystem integration, deterministic timing, and guaranteed monotonicity without external trimming.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AD679TD?
The AD679TD is specified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for extreme-environment applications such as downhole drilling tools and high-altitude avionics. This rating is confirmed in the Ordering Guide and DC Specifications table of the AD679 Rev. D datasheet, where the T grade explicitly defines this range and guarantees full AC/DC parameter performance across it. The AD679TD achieves this via ceramic DIP packaging and BiMOS process design.
Does the AD679TD require external calibration to meet its datasheet specifications?
No, the AD679TD does not require external calibration to meet its guaranteed specifications. It is factory-trimmed for offset, gain, and linearity, delivering ≤±2.5 LSB INL and ≤±0.11% FSR gain error over –55°C to +125°C without user adjustment. The datasheet states that "factory trimming eliminates the need for calibration modes or external trimming to achieve rated performance," and Figures 5–6 show optional trims only for applications demanding tighter tolerances than the AD679TD's inherent specification.
What are the power supply requirements for the AD679TD?
The AD679TD requires three separate supplies: +12 V (VCC, Pin 11), –12 V (VEE, Pin 5), and +5 V (VDD, Pin 28). These are specified with tolerances of ±5% for VCC/VEE and ±10% for VDD. Total power dissipation is 560 mW typical. The absolute maximum ratings caution against using 15 V supplies, and the device is not designed to operate from single-supply configurations. All supply pins must be decoupled per the layout guidelines in the datasheet.
How is the 14-bit data output structured on the AD679TD?
The AD679TD outputs its 14-bit result in two sequential 8-bit reads (high byte then low byte), left-justified within a 16-bit word. The high byte enable (HBE, Pin 15) controls which byte appears on DB7–DB0: HBE = LOW selects the upper 8 bits (DB13–DB6), and HBE = HIGH selects the lower 6 bits (DB5–DB0) padded with two zeros. Data format is straight binary in unipolar mode and twos complement in bipolar mode, as defined by the BIPOFF pin connection.
Is the AD679TD pin-compatible with any other Analog Devices ADCs?
Yes, the AD679TD is pin-compatible with the AD678 12-bit, 200 kSPS ADC, sharing identical pin functions and package footprint (28-lead DIP). This allows system upgrades from 12-bit to 14-bit resolution without PCB redesign. The datasheet explicitly states "Pin Compatible with AD678" in the FEATURES section and confirms matching pinouts in the PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS table for both 28-lead DIP variants. No other ADI ADC shares this exact pin mapping.
