Product details
Overview
AD7450BRM from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 1 MSPS successive approximation ADC with fully differential analog input, 3 V/5 V single-supply operation, and SPI/QSPI-compatible serial interface. It features 70 dB SINAD at 300 kHz, 20 MHz full-power bandwidth, and 1 µA max power-down current - deployed in motor control feedback loops, portable instrumentation front-ends, and battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7450BRM datasheet, AD7450BRM pinout, AD7450BRM application, or AD7450BRM equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 package mapping, real-world use-value per application, and two validated alternative parts for design flexibility under 3 V/5 V embedded signal conditioning constraints.
Technical Context
The AD7450BRM implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with dual capacitive DACs and an integrated differential track-and-hold amplifier (T/H) featuring 20 MHz –3 dB bandwidth and 50 ps aperture jitter. Its conversion timing is fully synchronized to the external SCLK, eliminating pipeline delay and enabling precise sampling control via CS falling edge.
It operates with externally applied reference voltage (100 mV–3.5 V), where VREF directly sets both full-scale span (±VREF differential) and common-mode range (CM = VREF typical). Input coding is two's complement, and serial output delivers four leading zeros followed by 12 MSB-first data bits on SDATA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete codes for high-fidelity sensor or transducer digitization |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS at 5 V / 833 kSPS at 3 V - supports real-time closed-loop control and burst-mode acquisition |
| SINAD | 70 dB min at 300 kHz input - ensures ≥8.6 ENOB for precision measurement applications |
| Power Dissipation | 9 mW max at 1 MSPS (5 V) / 3.75 mW max at 833 kSPS (3 V) - enables thermally constrained portable designs |
| Reference Range | VREF = 100 mV to 3.5 V (5 V supply) or 2.2 V (3 V supply) - allows flexible input scaling and bias point selection |
| Aperture Jitter | 50 ps typ - limits SNR degradation at high input frequencies (e.g., >100 kHz) |
| INL | ±1 LSB max (B version) - guarantees monotonicity and <0.025% full-scale linearity error |
Pinout & Package
AD7450BRM is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC-8, body size 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF | External reference input | Defines full-scale differential span (±VREF) and sets common-mode operating point; requires ≥0.1 µF decoupling |
| VIN+ | Differential analog input (+) | Accepts signal referenced to VIN–; input capacitance = 20 pF (track), 6 pF (hold) |
| VIN– | Differential analog input (–) | Completes differential pair; matched source impedance critical to avoid settling errors |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Common return for all analog circuitry; must be isolated from digital ground to minimize noise coupling |
| CS | Active-low chip select | Initiates conversion on falling edge and frames serial data transfer; minimum pulse width = 10 ns |
| SDATA | Serial data output | Three-state, MSB-first 12-bit result preceded by four leading zeros; output coding = two's complement |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Drives both data readout and internal conversion timing; max frequency = 18 MHz (5 V), 15 MHz (3 V) |
| VDD | Single power supply | Accepts 3 V ±10% or 5 V ±5%; requires 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum decoupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | SAR architecture guarantees deterministic, single-cycle conversion latency - essential for time-critical control loops |
| Fully differential input | Rejects common-mode noise and doubles dynamic range vs. single-ended inputs; supports bipolar signal acquisition |
| Flexible reference scaling | VREF programmable from 100 mV to 3.5 V enables optimized SNR across varying sensor output ranges |
| Low-power shutdown mode | 1 µA max quiescent current extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications like portable meters |
| High-speed serial interface | SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility simplifies integration with ARM Cortex-M, DSP, and FPGA host controllers |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7451BRM | Same SOIC-8 package and pinout; higher 1.25 MSPS max throughput; identical VREF range and differential input structure | Preferred for systems requiring margin above 1 MSPS or tighter timing budgets | Select AD7451BRM when >1 MSPS sustained sampling is required without changing layout or firmware interface logic |
| ADS7822U | 8-pin SOIC, 12-bit SAR, but single-ended input only; 200 kSPS max; 2.7–5.25 V supply; no VREF pin (internal reference) | Suitable for cost-sensitive, lower-speed applications where differential noise rejection is not mandatory | Choose ADS7822U only if system design tolerates single-ended inputs and reduced speed - not drop-in compatible due to pin function and reference architecture differences |
Compared with AD7450BRM, AD7451BRM offers higher throughput with identical footprint and interface, while ADS7822U trades differential performance and speed for lower cost and simpler biasing - making AD7450BRM the optimal balance of precision, speed, and power in noise-sensitive 3 V/5 V embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input frequency supported by the AD7450BRM before SINAD degrades below 70 dB?
The AD7450BRM maintains ≥70 dB SINAD up to 300 kHz input frequency under specified conditions (VDD = 5 V, fS = 1 MSPS, VREF = 2.5 V). At 500 kHz, SINAD drops to ~67 dB per TPC 3; the full-power bandwidth is 20 MHz (–3 dB), but usable dynamic performance is constrained by harmonic distortion above 300 kHz. For AD7450BRM designs targeting 70+ dB SINAD, keep analog input content below 300 kHz.
Can the AD7450BRM operate with a 2.5 V reference when powered from a 3 V supply?
Yes - the AD7450BRM supports VREF from 100 mV up to 2.2 V when VDD = 3 V. A 2.5 V reference exceeds this limit and risks violating absolute maximum ratings (VREF must not exceed VDD + 0.3 V, and functional range is capped at 2.2 V for 3 V operation). Using 2.5 V with 3 V supply may cause incorrect code transitions or damage; instead, use 1.25 V (for ±1.25 V span) or up to 2.2 V (for ±2.2 V span) with AD7450BRM.
Does the AD7450BRM require external anti-aliasing filtering?
Yes - while the AD7450BRM's 20 MHz full-power bandwidth permits high-frequency input, its Nyquist frequency at 1 MSPS is 500 kHz. To prevent aliasing of out-of-band noise or harmonics into the baseband, a sharp cutoff anti-aliasing filter (e.g., 5-pole elliptic, –3 dB at 400 kHz) is recommended before the VIN+/VIN– inputs. The AD7450BRM's 20 pF input capacitance in track mode also interacts with series resistance, affecting settling - RC filtering must be co-designed with driver capability.
How does the AD7450BRM handle common-mode voltage variations during conversion?
The AD7450BRM accepts a wide common-mode range (e.g., 0.625 V to 4.42 V at VREF = 1.25 V, VDD = 5 V), but CM must remain stable within ±0.5 LSB during acquisition. Its differential T/H samples on the CS falling edge and holds for 200 ns (max), so external circuitry must settle CM to within 1 mV before CS assertion. CM drift >1 mV during hold causes gain/offset errors - verified in AD7450BRM TPC 12 showing zero-code error shift vs. VREF and CM.
Is the AD7450BRM pin-compatible with the AD7450ARM or AD7450CRM variants?
Yes - AD7450BRM, AD7450ARM, and AD7450CRM share identical SOIC-8 pinout, electrical interface, and functional behavior. Differences are limited to grade-specific AC/DC specs: AD7450BRM (B-grade) guarantees ±1 LSB INL and ±1 LSB DNL, while AD7450ARM (A-grade) specifies ±2 LSB INL. All three use the same PCB footprint, schematic symbol, and firmware driver - AD7450BRM is the highest-precision variant in the AD7450 family.
