Product details
Overview
AD7450BRMZ 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 - enabling high-fidelity signal acquisition in battery-powered data loggers and motor control feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the AD7450BRMZ datasheet, AD7450BRMZ pinout, AD7450BRMZ application, or AD7450BRMZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 package mapping, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative parts for transducer interface and portable instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The AD7450BRMZ implements a charge-redistribution SAR architecture with dual capacitive DACs and an integrated differential track-and-hold amplifier. Its conversion is clocked directly by the SCLK input (15–18 MHz), eliminating pipeline delay and enabling precise sampling control via CS falling edge initiation.
It supports externally applied reference voltages from 100 mV to 3.5 V (5 V supply) or 2.2 V (3 V supply), with common-mode voltage range dynamically determined by VREF. Input signals are sampled differentially across VIN+ and VIN–, requiring matched source impedances to avoid settling-time mismatch errors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - delivers 4096 discrete output codes for precision measurement of small-signal transducers. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS at 5 V / 833 kSPS at 3 V - enables real-time capture of fast transient events in motor control or communications systems. |
| SINAD | 70 dB min at 300 kHz input (5 V supply) - ensures >8-bit effective resolution for audio-band and sensor signals. |
| Power Dissipation | 9 mW max at 1 MSPS (5 V), 3.75 mW max at 833 kSPS (3 V) - supports thermally constrained PCB layouts in portable instruments. |
| Reference Range | VREF = 100 mV to 3.5 V (5 V supply); 100 mV to 2.2 V (3 V supply) - allows flexible input span scaling from ±100 mV to ±3.5 V differential full-scale. |
| Aperture Jitter | 50 ps typ - limits sampling uncertainty to <0.03 LSB at 100 kHz input, critical for high-SNR applications. |
| INL | ±1 LSB max (B version) - guarantees monotonicity and predictable code transitions across full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). |
Pinout & Package
AD7450BRMZ is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (SOIC-8, body width 3.9 mm, JEDEC MS-012). Pin spacing is 1.27 mm; thermal resistance θJA = 157°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREF | External reference voltage input | Defines full-scale differential input span (2×VREF); must be decoupled with ≥0.1 µF capacitor to GND. |
| VIN+ | Positive differential analog input | Accepts signal referenced to common-mode voltage; paired with VIN– for noise-rejecting acquisition. |
| VIN– | Negative differential analog input | Complements VIN+; both inputs require matched source impedance to prevent differential settling error. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Single-point 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 | Outputs 16-bit word: four leading zeros + 12-bit two's complement result, MSB first on SCLK falling edge. |
| SCLK | Serial clock input | Drives both data transfer and internal conversion timing; supports 4 kHz–18 MHz range (16 SCLK cycles per conversion). |
| VDD | Single power supply input | Accepts 3 V (±10%) or 5 V (±5%); requires 0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum decoupling to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | SAR architecture guarantees deterministic latency: conversion completes in exactly 16 SCLK cycles with no hidden cycles or buffer dependencies. |
| Fully differential input | Rejects common-mode noise up to 90 dB (at 10 kHz), doubles dynamic range vs. single-ended, and enables flexible bias point selection via VREF. |
| Flexible power/serial clock management | Throughput rate scales linearly with SCLK frequency; power consumption drops proportionally when reducing SCLK for lower sampling rates. |
| Variable reference input | VREF adjustable from 100 mV to 3.5 V allows optimization of input range and SNR for specific sensor outputs without external gain stages. |
| Low power-down current | 1 µA max shutdown current enables microamp-level system sleep modes between burst acquisitions in battery-powered devices. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7451BRMZ | Same SOIC-8 package and pinout; includes internal reference (2.5 V), eliminating external VREF circuitry but fixing full-scale range. | Reduces BOM count in cost-sensitive, fixed-range systems; sacrifices VREF flexibility for simplicity. | Select AD7451BRMZ when reference stability and layout simplicity outweigh need for adjustable input span. |
| ADS7822U | 8-pin SOIC, 12-bit SAR, 200 kSPS max; uses SPI interface but lacks differential input - requires external op-amp for true differential acquisition. | Suitable for single-ended sensor interfaces where common-mode rejection is not required; lower throughput limits dynamic response. | Choose ADS7822U only for legacy single-ended designs where differential noise immunity is unnecessary and speed <200 kSPS suffices. |
Compared with AD7450BRMZ, AD7451BRMZ offers plug-and-play reference integration at the cost of input range adaptability, while ADS7822U trades differential capability and speed for lower power and simpler analog front-end requirements - making AD7450BRMZ optimal for high-fidelity, flexible-range, noise-immune acquisition.

FAQ
What is the maximum input frequency supported by the AD7450BRMZ before signal degradation occurs?
The AD7450BRMZ has a full-power bandwidth of 20 MHz (–3 dB point) and 2.5 MHz (–0.1 dB point). At 300 kHz input frequency, it achieves 70 dB SINAD under 5 V supply conditions. Performance degrades gradually beyond 2.5 MHz due to aperture jitter and THD increase - design margins should limit sustained inputs to ≤1 MHz for >65 dB SINAD.
Can the AD7450BRMZ operate with a 2.5 V reference when powered from a 3 V supply?
Yes, the AD7450BRMZ supports VREF from 100 mV to 2.2 V when using a 3 V supply. A 2.5 V reference exceeds the 2.2 V maximum and risks violating absolute maximum ratings. For 3 V operation, use VREF ≤ 2.2 V (e.g., 1.25 V or 2.0 V) to maintain specified INL, SINAD, and reliability.
Does the AD7450BRMZ require external op-amps to drive its differential inputs?
No - the AD7450BRMZ includes an integrated differential track-and-hold amplifier capable of handling input frequencies >1 MHz. However, source impedances driving VIN+ and VIN– must be closely matched (≤1% mismatch) to prevent differential settling errors; mismatched sources may necessitate external matched-driver op-amps.
How does the AD7450BRMZ handle power-down mode entry and exit timing?
The AD7450BRMZ enters full power-down mode when CS remains high and SCLK is inactive. Power-up time from full power-down is 1 µs max. During wake-up, the internal reference and T/H amplifier stabilize before the first conversion - no additional delay is needed if CS is asserted ≥1 µs after power-up initiation.
Is the AD7450BRMZ pin-compatible with other members of the AD745x family?
Yes - AD7450BRMZ, AD7451BRMZ, and AD7452BRMZ share identical SOIC-8 pinout and footprint. The AD7451BRMZ integrates a 2.5 V reference (pin 1 = VREF_OUT), while AD7450BRMZ requires external VREF on pin 1. No PCB changes are needed when substituting within this family, provided reference routing is adapted.
