Product details
Overview
AD7472YR-REEL from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 1.2 MSPS high-speed successive approximation ADC in 24-lead SOIC package, operating from 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply with 4.5 mW typical power at 3 V. It features 70 dB SNR at 500 kHz input, 20 MHz full-power bandwidth, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). It is used in precision data acquisition systems requiring low-latency, no-pipeline-delay conversion with external 2.5 V reference.
For engineers reviewing the AD7472YR-REEL datasheet, AD7472YR-REEL pinout, AD7472YR-REEL application, or AD7472YR-REEL equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, real-world timing behavior (e.g., 531.66 ns CONVST-to-BUSY delay at 26 MHz), validated SOIC-24 package mapping, and confirmed alternatives for industrial-grade 12-bit parallel ADC selection.
Technical Context
The AD7472YR-REEL implements a true successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with track-and-hold front-end, delivering single-shot conversions without pipeline latency. Its 14-clock-cycle conversion time (at up to 26 MHz CLK IN) and 135–140 ns acquisition window enable deterministic timing control via CONVST, BUSY, CS, and RD signals.
It separates analog (AVDD/AGND) and digital (DVDD/DGND) domains with independent VDRIVE for output level shifting, supporting mixed-voltage interfacing (e.g., 5 V core / 3 V logic). The Y-version extends operation to +125°C with validated 875 kSPS throughput at 3 V and 1.2 MSPS at 5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit - guarantees monotonic output with no missing codes to 11 bits (A/B versions) or 12 bits (B version); enables 1 LSB = 610 µV step size with 2.5 V reference. |
| Throughput Rate | 1.2 MSPS max at 5 V / 875 kSPS at 3 V - defines maximum sampling frequency under specified clock (20 MHz @ 5 V, 14 MHz @ 3 V) and power constraints. |
| SNR | 70 dB typ at 500 kHz input - ensures ≥11.3 effective number of bits (ENOB) for high-fidelity signal capture in wideband applications. |
| Power Dissipation | 4.5 mW max at 3 V - enables battery-powered or thermally constrained industrial sensor nodes without active cooling. |
| Aperture Jitter | 15 ps typ - limits sampling uncertainty to <0.03° phase error at 100 MHz input, preserving dynamic performance in RF-adjacent sampling. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, motor drive feedback, and industrial PLC environments per Y-version specification. |
| Reference Input | 2.5 V ±1% - requires externally sourced precision reference; defines full-scale range as 0 V to 2.5 V on VIN. |
Pinout & Package
AD7472YR-REEL is housed in a 24-lead SOIC (R-24) package with standard 0.3-inch body width and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin assignments are electrically identical to AD7472AR/BR variants and validated per Analog Devices Rev. B datasheet Figure 7 (top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 | DB0–DB11 | 12-bit parallel output bus (LSB to MSB); three-state controlled by CS/RD; VDRIVE sets VOH level for logic-level compatibility. |
| 13 | CS | Active-low chip select; interchangeable with RD; allows permanent low tie for continuous bus access. |
| 14 | RD | Active-low read strobe; falling edge latches conversion result onto DB[0:11] when CS is asserted. |
| 15 | CONVST | Falling-edge-triggered conversion start; initiates T/H hold mode and SAR cycle; double-function wake-up signal for sleep mode. |
| 16 | CLK IN | Asynchronous master clock input; 14 cycles required per conversion; determines throughput and power scaling. |
| 17 | BUSY | Open-drain status indicator; high during conversion; falls 531.66 ns after CONVST (26 MHz, 5 V) signaling result readiness. |
| 18 | VIN | Single-ended analog input; 0 V to REF IN range; 33 pF input capacitance requires careful driver impedance matching. |
| 19 | DGND | Digital ground reference; must be tied to AGND within 0.3 V transient delta to prevent noise coupling. |
| 20 | AGND | Analog ground reference; return path for VIN, REF IN, AVDD; requires star-point decoupling strategy. |
| 21 | REF IN | External 2.5 V reference input; ±1% tolerance required for full spec compliance; 10/20 pF input capacitance. |
| 22 | VDRIVE | Output driver supply; sets VOH = VDRIVE – 0.2 V; enables independent logic-level translation from core supplies. |
| 23 | DVDD | Digital supply (2.7–5.25 V); powers logic core and interface; must track AVDD within ±0.3 V. |
| 24 | AVDD | Analog supply (2.7–5.25 V); powers T/H, SAR, and reference buffer; requires low-noise local decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | True SAR architecture delivers deterministic, single-cycle conversion with precise CONVST-synchronized sampling-enables closed-loop control with known latency. |
| Flexible power/throughput management | Externally clocked design allows linear reduction in current (e.g., 1.5 mA → 124 µA) by lowering CLK IN frequency or enabling auto-sleep mode. |
| Industrial temperature grade | Y-version qualification to +125°C ensures reliable operation in motor drives, inverters, and automotive engine control units without derating. |
| Mixed-voltage I/O support | VDRIVE pin decouples output logic levels from AVDD/DVDD, permitting 5 V ADC core interfacing directly to 3 V FPGA or microcontroller buses. |
| Low aperture jitter | 15 ps typical jitter preserves SFDR >76 dB at 100 kHz and >81 dB at 500 kHz, critical for undersampling and IF digitization. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit parallel SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7472BRU-REEL | Same 12-bit resolution and 1.5 MSPS rate, but B-grade (–40°C to +85°C) in TSSOP-24; 1.8 LSB DNL max vs. YR's 1.8 LSB DNL max at 125°C. | Not rated for >85°C ambient; unsuitable for under-hood or high-temp industrial enclosures. | Select BRU-REEL only if board-level thermal management keeps junction <85°C and TSSOP footprint is preferred. |
| ADS8320UB | Texas Instruments 16-bit, 1 MSPS SAR ADC in SOIC-8; serial SPI interface (not parallel); 91 dB SNR; higher resolution but lower speed and different bus protocol. | Requires FPGA/microcontroller SPI peripheral and software framing; incompatible pinout and timing model. | Choose ADS8320UB only when 16-bit resolution outweighs parallel interface need and system firmware supports SPI streaming. |
Compared with AD7472BRU-REEL, the AD7472YR-REEL provides extended temperature capability without sacrificing speed or package compatibility; versus ADS8320UB, it retains parallel bus simplicity and deterministic timing but trades resolution for throughput and interface familiarity.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AD7472YR-REEL?
The AD7472YR-REEL supports up to 20 MHz CLK IN at 5 V and 14 MHz at 3 V, as specified for the Y-version in the Rev. B datasheet. Exceeding these frequencies invalidates AC performance specs including SNR and THD, and may cause timing violations in CONVST-to-BUSY or data access windows. Always verify setup/hold times using the load circuit in Figure 1.
Does AD7472YR-REEL require an external reference voltage?
Yes, AD7472YR-REEL requires a precision 2.5 V ±1% external reference applied to the REF IN pin. The device has no internal reference; using a non-compliant reference degrades INL, gain error, and SNR. Recommended sources include ADR4525 or REF192, decoupled with 10 µF + 100 nF near REF IN.
Can AD7472YR-REEL operate with separate 5 V analog and 3 V digital supplies?
No-AVDD and DVDD must remain within ±0.3 V of each other at all times, per Absolute Maximum Ratings. However, VDRIVE can be set to 3 V independently to shift output logic levels while AVDD/DVDD run at 5 V, enabling clean interfacing to 3 V controllers without violating supply domain isolation rules.
What is the guaranteed no-missed-codes performance of AD7472YR-REEL?
The AD7472YR-REEL guarantees no missed codes to 11 bits, consistent with the A- and B-version specifications in the AD7472 datasheet. This is validated across –40°C to +125°C and ensures monotonic transfer function essential for closed-loop control and metrology applications.
How does sleep mode function on AD7472YR-REEL?
Sleep mode activates automatically when CONVST remains low after BUSY falls; wake-up occurs on the next rising edge of CONVST with 1 µs typical latency. At 100 kSPS and 3 V, average current drops to 124 µA-ideal for intermittent sensing in battery-powered condition monitoring systems using AD7472YR-REEL.
