Product details
Overview
AD7472YR-REEL7 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, ±2 LSB INL (A-grade), and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). It is used in precision data acquisition systems requiring low-power, wide-bandwidth analog-to-digital conversion.
For engineers reviewing the AD7472YR-REEL7 datasheet, AD7472YR-REEL7 pinout, AD7472YR-REEL7 application, or AD7472YR-REEL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-bit resolution, 1.2 MSPS throughput at 5 V with 20 MHz clock, sleep-mode current of 2 µA, and parallel interface timing compatibility with microprocessor buses.
Technical Context
The AD7472YR-REEL7 implements a standard successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with track-and-hold amplifier, no pipeline delay, and precise sampling controlled by CONVST falling edge. Conversion time is fixed at 14 CLK IN cycles, with acquisition time of 140 ns minimum after BUSY goes low.
It uses external 2.5 V reference (±1%) applied to REF IN, supports independent VDRIVE for 3 V/5 V logic interfacing, and separates analog (AVDD/AGND) and digital (DVDD/DGND) supplies with strict ≤0.3 V potential difference requirement to maintain DC accuracy and dynamic performance.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 | DB0–DB11 (LSB to MSB) | 12-bit parallel output bus; three-state, level-shifted by VDRIVE; active only when CS and RD both low |
| 13 | CS | Chip select input; active-low; may be hardwired low to simplify interface with microprocessor data bus |
| 14 | RD | Read strobe input; active-low; interchangeable with CS; falling edge latches conversion result onto DBx lines |
| 15 | CONVST | Conversion start trigger; falling edge initiates sampling and conversion; low duration controls auto-sleep entry |
| 16 | CLK IN | Master clock input; 20 MHz max at 5 V; determines conversion time (14 cycles) and throughput rate |
| 17 | BUSY | Open-drain status output; high during conversion; falls 531.66 ns after CONVST (26 MHz case) to signal completion |
| 18 | VIN | Single-ended analog input; 0 V to REF IN range; 33 pF input capacitance; high DC impedance |
| 19 | AGND | Analog ground reference; must be tied to DGND within 0.3 V; separate return path for analog circuitry |
| 20 | DGND | Digital ground reference; ties to AGND; provides return for digital I/O and logic core |
| 21 | REF IN | External 2.5 V reference input; ±1% tolerance required for full spec compliance; 10/20 pF input capacitance |
| 22 | AVDD | Analog supply (2.7–5.25 V); powers SAR core and T/H amplifier; must match DVDD within ±0.3 V |
| 23 | VDRIVE | Output driver supply (2.7–5.25 V); sets VOH level independently of AVDD/DVDD for mixed-voltage interfacing |
| 24 | DVDD | Digital supply (2.7–5.25 V); powers logic and interface circuitry; must match AVDD within ±0.3 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | True single-shot conversion with deterministic latency (14 CLK IN + 140 ns), enabling precise time-critical sampling in servo loops |
| Flexible power/throughput management | Throughput scales linearly with CLK IN frequency; sleep mode reduces current to 2 µA, supporting duty-cycled sensing |
| Independent VDRIVE supply | Allows AVDD/DVDD at 5 V for optimal analog performance while driving 3 V logic, eliminating level-shifter components |
| Industrial temperature grade | Specified from –40°C to +125°C (Y version), qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and power electronics monitoring |
| Guaranteed no missed codes | 11-bit monotonicity assured (Y version), critical for position feedback and closed-loop control where missing codes cause instability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit high-speed SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7472AR-REEL7 | Same 12-bit SAR core, but A-grade (–40°C to +85°C); 1.5 MSPS max at 5 V with 26 MHz clock; ±1 LSB INL (tighter than Y version) | Designed for commercial/industrial equipment with ambient temperature limits; not qualified for under-hood or high-ambient environments | Select when full 125°C operation is unnecessary and tighter INL is prioritized over temperature range |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 250 kSPS, SPI interface, single-supply 2.7–5.25 V; no external reference required; 1.25 mW at 3 V | Lower speed, serial interface, integrated reference; suited for space-constrained, low-throughput sensor nodes | Select when board area, wiring count, or power budget constrain design more than throughput or parallel bus compatibility |
Compared with AD7472AR-REEL7, the AD7472YR-REEL7 trades ±1 LSB INL for guaranteed operation up to +125°C and relaxed clock timing (20 MHz vs. 26 MHz), making it suitable for automotive and high-reliability industrial use; versus ADS7822U, it offers 4.8× higher throughput and parallel interface but requires external reference and careful grounding partitioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AD7472YR-REEL7?
The AD7472YR-REEL7 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 may violate timing margins for conversion completion and BUSY assertion, leading to invalid data reads. The 20 MHz limit ensures reliable 1.2 MSPS throughput and maintains aperture jitter at 15 ps typ.
Does AD7472YR-REEL7 require an external reference voltage?
Yes, AD7472YR-REEL7 requires an external 2.5 V reference applied to the REF IN pin. The device does not include an internal reference. Performance specifications-including SINAD, SNR, and INL-are guaranteed only when REF IN is 2.5 V ±1%. Deviations outside this range degrade DC accuracy and dynamic performance proportionally.
Can AD7472YR-REEL7 operate with separate 5 V analog and 3 V digital supplies?
No-AD7472YR-REEL7 mandates AVDD and DVDD remain within ±0.3 V of each other at all times, per Absolute Maximum Ratings and layout guidance. However, VDRIVE can be set to 3 V independently to drive 3 V logic outputs while AVDD/DVDD run at 5 V, preserving analog performance and enabling mixed-voltage interfacing without level shifters.
What is the guaranteed no-missed-codes performance of AD7472YR-REEL7?
The AD7472YR-REEL7 guarantees no missed codes to 11 bits, as stated in the Y-version DC Accuracy table. This means all 2048 possible 11-bit codes appear monotonically across the full input range. While resolution is 12 bits, the 12th bit may exhibit minor nonmonotonicity due to ±2 LSB INL; system-level calibration can recover full 12-bit usability where needed.
How does the auto-sleep mode function in AD7472YR-REEL7?
In auto-sleep mode, AD7472YR-REEL7 enters low-power state automatically after conversion completes and BUSY goes low-if CONVST remains low. Wake-up occurs on the next rising edge of CONVST, with typical wake-up time of 1 µs. At 100 kSPS and 5 V, this yields average current of 171 µA; at 3 V, it drops to 124 µA-enabling energy-efficient burst-mode acquisition.
