Product details
Overview
AD7274BRMZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 3 MSPS successive approximation ADC with single-supply operation (2.35 V to 3.6 V), 70 dB SNR at 1 MHz input, and 8-lead TSOT package. It features no pipeline delay, external reference support (1.4 V to VDD), and operates across −40°C to +125°C for high-reliability data acquisition in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AD7274BRMZ-REEL datasheet, AD7274BRMZ-REEL pinout, AD7274BRMZ-REEL application, or AD7274BRMZ-REEL equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, real-world timing behavior, thermal performance under full-power operation, and validated alternative options for precision analog-to-digital conversion in space-constrained, wide-temperature designs.
Technical Context
The AD7274BRMZ-REEL implements a charge redistribution DAC-based successive approximation architecture with on-chip track-and-hold, enabling accurate sampling of input frequencies up to 55 MHz (−3 dB) and 8 MHz (−0.1 dB). Conversion is initiated by the falling edge of CS and clocked by SCLK, with 14-cycle serial readout at up to 48 MHz.
It supports flexible power management via three operational modes: normal (3.8 mA typ at 3 V), partial power-down (34 μA typ), and full power-down (0.1 μA typ). Reference voltage is externally applied (1.4 V to VDD), and analog input range is 0 to VREF with ±1 μA leakage (−40°C to +85°C).

Pinout & Package
AD7274BRMZ-REEL is housed in an 8-lead TSOT (Thin Small Outline Transistor) package, measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.8 mm, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement and RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Power supply input | Single 2.35–3.6 V rail powers both analog and digital sections; requires local 100 nF + 10 μF decoupling to AGND. |
| SDATA (Pin 2) | Serial data output | Three-state CMOS output delivering MSB-first 12-bit result prefixed by two zeros and suffixed by two zeros; compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE. |
| CS (Pin 7) | Chip select / conversion trigger | Active-low signal initiates sampling on falling edge and frames serial data transfer; minimum pulse width 3 ns. |
| AGND (Pin 8) | Analog ground reference | Primary return path for VIN, VREF, and internal analog circuitry; must be tied to low-impedance plane, separated from DGND except at single point. |
| VREF (Pin 5) | External reference input | Accepts 1.4–VDD reference voltage; requires 10 μF capacitor to AGND to stabilize reference impedance and suppress noise coupling. |
| SCLK (Pin 6) | Serial clock input | Drives both data readout and internal conversion timing; supports 500 kHz–48 MHz; 40/60 duty cycle tolerance. |
| DGND (Pin 3) | Digital ground reference | Return path for SDATA, CS, and SCLK; must remain within 0.3 V of AGND potential even during transients to prevent latch-up. |
| VIN (Pin 4) | Analog input channel | Single-ended input with 0–VREF range, 42 pF track capacitance, and ±1 μA leakage; optimized for direct connection to low-Z sensors or op-amp buffers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Enables deterministic latency of exactly 291 ns max per conversion - critical for closed-loop control and time-triggered systems. |
| Flexible serial interface | Native SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP compatibility eliminates protocol translation logic and reduces FPGA resource usage. |
| Wide supply range | 2.35–3.6 V operation supports direct interfacing with Li-ion battery rails, 2.5 V/3.3 V microcontrollers, and mixed-voltage SoCs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7274BCPZ-RL7 | Same die, 8-lead LFCSP (3 mm × 3 mm) instead of TSOT; lower θJA (125°C/W vs. 230°C/W); identical electrical specs. | Better thermal performance in high-density PCBs; requires rework of land pattern and stencil; not drop-in compatible. | Select when board-level thermal resistance exceeds 100°C/W or ambient exceeds 105°C; verify solder paste volume for exposed pad. |
| ADS8860IDRCT | 16-bit, 1 MSPS SAR ADC; higher resolution but lower speed; 2.5–5.5 V supply; SPI-compatible; 0.5 μA power-down. | Targeted at precision DC/low-frequency measurements (e.g., weigh scales, analytical instruments); not suitable for >1 MSPS real-time control. | Choose only if resolution >12 bits is mandatory and throughput ≤1 MSPS suffices; avoid for closed-loop or wideband applications. |
Compared with AD7274BRMZ-REEL, AD7274BCPZ-RL7 offers superior thermal dissipation in thermally constrained layouts but requires PCB redesign, while ADS8860IDRCT trades speed for resolution-making it unsuitable for 3 MSPS timing-critical systems despite its higher bit depth.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling frequency supported by the AD7274BRMZ-REEL?
The AD7274BRMZ-REEL supports a maximum throughput rate of 3 MSPS, achieved with a 48 MHz SCLK and 14-cycle serial readout. This corresponds to a minimum conversion period of 333 ns, including acquisition time (60 ns max) and quiet time (4 ns min). The part maintains full AC performance specifications-including 69.5 dB SNR-at this rate when operated within its specified supply (2.35–3.6 V) and temperature (−40°C to +125°C) ranges. The AD7274BRMZ-REEL does not support oversampling or decimation modes.
Does the AD7274BRMZ-REEL require an external reference, and what voltage range is acceptable?
Yes, the AD7274BRMZ-REEL requires an external reference applied to the VREF pin. The acceptable input range is 1.4 V to VDD, supporting flexible scaling of the analog input range (0 to VREF). For example, with VDD = 3.3 V, VREF may be set to 2.5 V for improved noise immunity or to 3.0 V for maximum dynamic range. A 10 μF capacitor must be placed between VREF and AGND to ensure stability and low-impedance reference coupling. The AD7274BRMZ-REEL does not include an internal reference.
How is conversion triggered, and what is the latency from trigger to data ready?
Conversion is triggered on the falling edge of the CS (chip select) signal, which simultaneously initiates sampling and starts the conversion process. Data becomes available on the SDATA pin after 14 SCLK cycles (at 48 MHz: 291 ns max total conversion time). There is no pipeline delay-the output corresponds strictly to the sample taken at the CS falling edge. The AD7274BRMZ-REEL guarantees deterministic latency, making it suitable for time-critical control loops where jitter or variable delay would degrade system stability.
What power management modes does the AD7274BRMZ-REEL support, and how do they affect current draw?
The AD7274BRMZ-REEL supports three power states: Normal Mode (3.8 mA typ at 3 V, 3 MSPS), Partial Power-Down (34 μA typ), and Full Power-Down (0.1 μA typ at −40°C to +85°C). Full power-down is entered when CS remains high and SCLK is inactive; exit time is 1 μs max. These modes are controlled entirely via the standard serial interface-no dedicated control pins are required. The AD7274BRMZ-REEL achieves its 11.4 mW operational power at 3 MSPS through advanced charge redistribution and clock-gating techniques.
Is the AD7274BRMZ-REEL pin-compatible with other members of the AD727x family?
The AD7274BRMZ-REEL shares identical pinout and footprint with the AD7273BRMZ-REEL (10-bit) and AD7274BCPZ-RL7 (same die, LFCSP package), but is not pin-compatible with AD7276/AD7277/AD7278 due to differing pin assignments (e.g., 6-lead TSOT variants). All 8-lead TSOT versions (AD7273/AD7274) use the same mechanical layout and electrical pin functions-enabling hardware reuse across resolution grades. However, firmware must be updated to handle 12-bit vs. 10-bit data framing (two trailing zeros vs. four).
