Product details
Overview
AD7450ABRMZ from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 1 MSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter with fully differential analog inputs, 70 dB minimum SINAD at 100 kHz, ±1 LSB max INL, and operation from single 3 V or 5 V supply. It targets high-accuracy data acquisition in space-constrained battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7450ABRMZ datasheet, AD7450ABRMZ pinout, AD7450ABRMZ application, or AD7450ABRMZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to 8-lead SOT-23, functional pin roles, real-world use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The AD7450ABRMZ uses a SAR architecture with no pipeline delay, enabling deterministic conversion timing and precise sampling control via CS falling edge. Its low-noise, wide-bandwidth differential track-and-hold amplifier supports input frequencies up to 3.5 MHz and delivers 70 dB SINAD at 100 kHz with 5 V supply.
Conversion is synchronized to an external serial clock (SCLK), with throughput rate directly scalable by clock frequency. The device accepts externally applied reference voltage (VREF) from 100 mV to 3.5 V, enabling flexible full-scale input spans of ±VREF and common-mode biasing across diverse sensor interfaces.

Pinout & Package
AD7450ABRMZ is housed in an 8-lead SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with gull-wing leads, 0.95 mm pitch, and thermal resistance θJA = 211.5°C/W. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; top view orientation matches Figure 5 in Rev. D datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF | External reference voltage input | Accepts 100 mV–3.5 V reference; sets full-scale differential input range (±VREF) and common-mode bias point for VIN+ and VIN−. |
| VIN+ | Differential analog input positive terminal | Receives one leg of fully differential signal; requires matched layout and termination to VIN− for optimal CMRR and distortion performance. |
| VIN− | Differential analog input negative terminal | Receives inverted leg of differential signal; common-mode voltage must be centered at VREF for specified DC accuracy. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Single-point return for all analog circuitry; must be isolated from digital ground to prevent noise coupling into ADC core. |
| CS | Active-low chip select / conversion trigger | Falling edge initiates conversion and frames serial data transfer; enables precise sampling synchronization with external controllers. |
| SDATA | Serial data output | Outputs 12-bit twos-complement result MSB-first as 4 leading zeros + 12 data bits; three-state capable for bus sharing. |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Drives both data transfer and internal conversion timing; maximum 18 MHz rate supports 1 MSPS throughput with 16-cycle cycle time. |
| VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7–3.6 V or 4.75–5.25 V; requires parallel 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum decoupling for stable reference and analog performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | SAR architecture ensures deterministic 16-clock-cycle conversion time (888 ns @ 18 MHz), eliminating latency uncertainty in real-time control loops. |
| Flexible reference scaling | VREF input range (100 mV–3.5 V) permits tailored full-scale spans and common-mode biasing-enabling direct interface with low-voltage sensor outputs or high-gain amplifiers. |
| Low-power shutdown mode | 1 µA max quiescent current in full power-down state extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like wireless sensor nodes. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP compatibility | Standard serial interface eliminates need for custom logic or protocol translation, simplifying integration with ARM Cortex-M, C2000, or SHARC processors. |
| Differential input with 70 dB SINAD | Wide-bandwidth T/H amplifier and matched input structure reject common-mode noise and preserve signal integrity for transducer and motor current sensing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7450ARMZ | Same 12-bit/1 MSPS specs and pinout, but in 8-lead MSOP package (3 mm × 3 mm); θJA = 205.9°C/W vs. 211.5°C/W for SOT-23. | Preferred where thermal margin is critical or board layout allows larger footprint; not suitable for ultra-dense SOT-23-only designs. | Select AD7450ARMZ when thermal performance outweighs size constraints; AD7450ABRMZ remains optimal for miniaturized portable systems. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS max, SPI interface, 6-lead SOT-23; lower speed, no differential input, fixed internal reference. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, low-throughput applications like basic sensor logging-not suitable for 1 MSPS or differential signal chains. | Choose ADS7822U only for non-critical, low-bandwidth measurements where differential rejection and speed are unnecessary. |
Compared with AD7450ARMZ, AD7450ABRMZ trades 5.6°C/W higher thermal resistance for 42% smaller footprint-critical in handheld instruments. Versus ADS7822U, AD7450ABRMZ delivers 5× higher throughput, true differential input, and external VREF flexibility essential for precision transducer interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7450ABRMZ?
The AD7450ABRMZ supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, achieved with an 18 MHz serial clock and 16 SCLK cycles per conversion. This rate is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and both 3 V and 5 V supply conditions, making AD7450ABRMZ suitable for real-time signal capture in dynamic systems such as motor current monitoring and ultrasonic sensing.
Does the AD7450ABRMZ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, the AD7450ABRMZ requires an external reference voltage applied to the VREF pin. It accepts VREF from 100 mV to 3.5 V, and the selected value directly determines the full-scale differential input range (±VREF) and common-mode voltage. For specified performance, VREF must be 2.06 V ±1% with 3 V supply or 2.55 V ±1% with 5 V supply-so proper reference IC selection and decoupling are essential for AD7450ABRMZ accuracy.
What package type is used for the AD7450ABRMZ?
The AD7450ABRMZ uses an 8-lead SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm with 0.95 mm lead pitch. This compact gull-wing package provides the smallest footprint among AD7450A variants and is optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and battery-powered equipment where board space is at a premium.
How does the AD7450ABRMZ handle differential analog inputs?
The AD7450ABRMZ features a fully differential analog input structure with dedicated VIN+ and VIN− pins. Its internal track-and-hold amplifier supports input frequencies up to 3.5 MHz and delivers 70 dB SINAD at 100 kHz. Common-mode voltage must be set to VREF, and absolute input voltages must remain within VCM ± VREF/2 to maintain specified linearity and distortion performance-making matched PCB routing and proper front-end biasing critical for AD7450ABRMZ operation.
What is the power consumption of the AD7450ABRMZ in active and shutdown modes?
In normal operational mode at 1 MSPS, AD7450ABRMZ consumes 4 mW max with a 3 V supply and 9.25 mW max with a 5 V supply. In full power-down mode, it draws just 1 µA max-equating to 3 µW max at 3 V or 5 µW max at 5 V. This ultra-low shutdown current makes AD7450ABRMZ ideal for duty-cycled applications like wireless sensor nodes, where extended battery life depends on aggressive power gating between acquisitions.
