Product details
Overview
AD7472YRZ from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 1.2 MSPS high-speed successive approximation ADC with 70 dB typical SNR at 500 kHz input, 2.7 V to 5.25 V single-supply operation, and integrated track-and-hold amplifier-designed for precision data acquisition in industrial sensor interfaces and real-time control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7472YRZ datasheet, AD7472YRZ pinout, AD7472YRZ application, or AD7472YRZ equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters (e.g., 531.66 ns CONVST-to-BUSY delay at 26 MHz), true 12-bit DC accuracy (±2 LSB INL), Y-grade –40°C to +125°C operation, and parallel interface timing constraints critical for deterministic microprocessor interfacing.
Technical Context
The AD7472YRZ implements a standard successive approximation register (SAR) architecture with no pipeline delays, enabling precise sampling control via the falling edge of CONVST and deterministic conversion completion signaled by BUSY. Its track-and-hold amplifier supports full-power bandwidth up to 20 MHz and acquisition time of 140 ns.
Conversion is clocked externally (CLKIN), with fixed 14-cycle conversion time; throughput scales linearly with clock frequency (1.2 MSPS at 20 MHz/5 V). Power management includes auto-sleep mode-entering sleep on falling BUSY when CONVST remains low, with 1 µs wake-up time-enabling 124 µA average current at 100 kSPS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit-guarantees no missed codes to 11 bits, supporting high-fidelity digitization of analog sensor outputs. |
| Throughput Rate | 1.2 MSPS at 5 V / 875 kSPS at 3 V-determined by external 20 MHz (5 V) or 14 MHz (3 V) CLKIN, enabling real-time closed-loop response. |
| SNR | 70 dB typ at 500 kHz input-ensures clean signal reconstruction in medium-bandwidth instrumentation applications. |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±2 LSB max-limits end-point error to <0.05% of full scale, critical for calibrated measurement systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (Y grade)-qualified for under-hood automotive, motor drive feedback, and industrial PLC environments. |
| Power Dissipation | 4.5 mW max at 3 V-achieves sub-5 mW active power at 875 kSPS, reducing thermal load in dense PCB layouts. |
| Aperture Jitter | 15 ps typ-minimizes sampling uncertainty, preserving dynamic performance at multi-MHz input frequencies. |
Pinout & Package
AD7472YRZ is housed in a 24-lead SOIC (R-24) package with exposed pad for thermal management. Pin assignments are validated per Analog Devices' official pin configuration diagram (Rev. B, p.7).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CONVST | Conversion Start Input | Falling-edge-triggered command initiating track-to-hold transition and SAR conversion; pulse width ≥10 ns. |
| BUSY | Conversion Status Output | Active-high open-drain signal indicating conversion in progress; falls 531.66 ns after CONVST edge (26 MHz CLKIN). |
| CS / RD | Parallel Interface Control | Interchangeable active-low signals enabling three-state data bus access; both may be hardwired low for continuous output. |
| DB0–DB11 | Parallel Data Outputs | 12-bit straight binary result; output voltage level set by VDRIVE (independent of DVDD), enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
| REF IN | Reference Input | Accepts external 2.5 V ±1% reference; defines full-scale analog input range (0 V to REF IN) and directly impacts gain accuracy. |
| AVDD / DVDD / VDRIVE | Independent Supply Rails | AVDD powers analog core (2.7–5.25 V); DVDD powers logic; VDRIVE sets output high level-allows 5 V ADC core with 3 V MCU interface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | True SAR architecture enables deterministic, single-shot conversion with precise sampling instant control-essential for time-critical control loops. |
| Auto-sleep mode | Automatic entry into 2 µA sleep state after conversion completes (when CONVST held low), reducing average power at low throughput without software overhead. |
| Flexible supply partitioning | Separate AVDD, DVDD, and VDRIVE rails allow independent optimization: 5 V for analog performance, 3 V for digital I/O compatibility, and 3 V for low-power output drivers. |
| High-temperature qualification | Y-grade rating (–40°C to +125°C) with verified timing and DC specs ensures reliable operation in extended-environment industrial and automotive applications. |
| Low aperture jitter | 15 ps typical jitter preserves SNR at high input frequencies-critical for accurate digitization of fast-changing sensor signals like motor phase currents. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7472BRU | B-grade (–40°C to +85°C), TSSOP-24 package, same 1.5 MSPS max throughput but rated for lower temperature range. | Suitable for commercial/industrial ambient environments only; lacks extended-temp validation for under-hood or high-heat industrial enclosures. | Select AD7472BRU only if operating temperature stays ≤+85°C and board space favors TSSOP over SOIC. |
| ADS8684IPWR | Texas Instruments 16-bit SAR ADC with integrated reference and programmable input range; 500 kSPS max, SPI interface, 2.7–5.5 V supply. | Higher resolution but lower speed and serial interface-requires firmware changes and adds latency vs. AD7472YRZ's deterministic parallel bus. | Choose ADS8684IPWR only when 16-bit resolution outweighs need for 1.2 MSPS throughput and parallel timing control. |
Compared with AD7472BRU and ADS8684IPWR, the AD7472YRZ uniquely combines extended-temperature operation, parallel interface determinism, and 12-bit/1.2 MSPS performance in a drop-in SOIC footprint-making it optimal for high-reliability embedded control where timing predictability and thermal robustness are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AD7472YRZ?
The AD7472YRZ supports up to 20 MHz CLKIN at 5 V and 14 MHz at 3 V, yielding a maximum throughput of 1.2 MSPS and 875 kSPS respectively. These limits are specified in the Y-version electrical characteristics table (Rev. B, p.4) and ensure timing compliance across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. Exceeding these frequencies may violate setup/hold timing and degrade DC accuracy.
Does AD7472YRZ require an external reference voltage?
Yes, AD7472YRZ requires an external 2.5 V ±1% reference applied to the REF IN pin to achieve specified performance. The device does not include an internal reference. Using a precision 2.5 V reference (e.g., ADR4525) ensures gain error remains within ±2 LSB and supports accurate absolute measurements in calibrated systems.
How does the auto-sleep mode function in AD7472YRZ?
In auto-sleep mode, the AD7472YRZ automatically enters a 2 µA standby state on the falling edge of BUSY-provided CONVST remains low. It wakes up within 1 µs on the next rising edge of CONVST. This feature is validated for Y-grade operation and reduces average current to 124 µA at 100 kSPS (3 V), making it ideal for battery-powered or thermally constrained applications.
What is the significance of separate VDRIVE, AVDD, and DVDD supplies in AD7472YRZ?
VDRIVE independently sets the high-level output voltage of DB0–DB11, allowing the AD7472YRZ to operate its analog core at 5 V (for optimal SNR) while interfacing directly to 3 V logic systems. AVDD powers only analog circuitry; DVDD powers digital logic-enabling noise isolation and flexible supply sequencing critical in mixed-signal designs.
Is AD7472YRZ pin-compatible with other AD7472 variants?
Yes, AD7472YRZ shares identical pinout and package (SOIC-24, R-24) with AD7472AR and AD7472BR, as confirmed in the Ordering Guide (Rev. B, p.6). All share identical pin functions, timing, and interface behavior-only temperature grade and AC/DC specs differ. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from A/B to Y grade for extended-temp deployment.
