Product details
Overview
AD7475BRMZ from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 1 MSPS successive-approximation ADC operating from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply, featuring 68 dB SINAD at 300 kHz input, 4.5 mW max power at 3 V/1 MSPS, and external 2.5 V reference support - used in portable medical instruments for high-fidelity analog signal digitization.
For engineers reviewing the AD7475BRMZ datasheet, AD7475BRMZ pinout, AD7475BRMZ application, or AD7475BRMZ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The AD7475BRMZ implements a capacitive DAC-based successive-approximation architecture with no pipeline delay, sampling on the falling edge of CS and completing conversion in exactly 16 SCLK cycles. Its track-and-hold supports full-power bandwidth up to 8.3 MHz (–3 dB) and acquires full-scale steps in ≤325 ns.
It uses VDRIVE to decouple logic interface voltage (2.7 V–5.25 V) from VDD, enabling direct interfacing with 3 V or 5 V microprocessors without level shifters. Standby current is 1 µA max, and conversion timing is fully determined by SCLK frequency - not internal clocks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - delivers 4096 discrete output codes over 0 V to REF IN range |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS maximum - enables real-time sampling of signals up to ~400 kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| SINAD | 68 dB min at 300 kHz - ensures ≥11.3 effective bits for precision sensor data acquisition |
| Power Dissipation | 4.5 mW max at 3 V/1 MSPS - supports battery operation >10 hours in 10 mA portable systems |
| Reference Input | 2.5 V ±1% required - mandates external low-drift reference (e.g., AD780) for specified DC accuracy |
| Aperture Jitter | 50 ps typ - limits SNR degradation to <0.1 dB at 300 kHz input frequency |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±1 LSB max (B version) - guarantees monotonicity and no missing codes across full temperature range |
Pinout & Package
AD7475BRMZ is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package (3.0 mm × 4.9 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is marked via laser scribe or dot; pin numbering follows standard MSOP top-view convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF IN | Reference Input | Accepts external 2.5 V ±1% reference; requires ≥0.1 µF decoupling capacitor to GND for stability |
| 2 - VIN | Analog Input | Single-ended input with 0 V to REF IN range; 20 pF input capacitance demands careful driver selection |
| 3 - GND | Analog Ground | Primary ground reference for analog circuitry; must be connected to clean analog plane, separate from digital return |
| 4 - SCLK | Serial Clock Input | Drives both data transfer and internal conversion timing; supports 10 kHz–20 MHz; 5 ns rise/fall time specified |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial Data Output | 3-state output delivering 4 leading zeros + 12-bit MSB-first result on SCLK falling edge |
| 6 - VDRIVE | Digital I/O Supply | Sets logic levels for CS, SCLK, SDATA; independent of VDD - allows mixed-voltage system interfacing |
| 7 - CS | Chip Select (Active Low) | Initiates conversion on falling edge; frames serial data; minimum pulse width 100 ns between conversions |
| 8 - VDD | Analog/Digital Power Supply | Single 2.7 V–5.25 V supply powering core ADC, T/H, and control logic; 450 mW absolute max dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Guarantees deterministic latency: conversion starts on CS fall and completes in fixed 800 ns (at 20 MHz SCLK) |
| VDRIVE logic supply independence | Enables direct connection to 3 V FPGA or 5 V MCU without level translators - reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Three power modes | Full shutdown (1 µA), partial power-down (100 µA), and normal mode - allows dynamic power scaling per sample rate demand |
| Wide input bandwidth | 8.3 MHz full-power bandwidth (–3 dB) supports anti-aliasing filter design with relaxed roll-off requirements |
| SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible | Interoperates with common DSP and microcontroller serial peripherals without protocol translation firmware |
Applications
| Portable ECG Monitor | Handheld Spectrum Analyzer Front-End |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, 1 MSPS SAR ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7476BRMZ | Same 12-bit SAR core but 1.25 MSPS max; 3.5 mW at 3 V/1 MSPS; identical pinout and REF IN requirement | Higher throughput margin for burst-mode sampling; same external reference dependency and thermal profile | Select when system requires headroom above 1 MSPS or lower static power in partial power-down mode |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS max; SPI-compatible; internal 2.5 V reference; 8-pin SOIC only; 2.7 V–5.25 V supply | Lower speed suited for slower sensor polling; eliminates external reference but sacrifices SINAD (64 dB vs. 68 dB) | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where 200 kSPS suffices and reference integration simplifies layout |
Compared with AD7475BRMZ, AD7476BRMZ offers higher speed and slightly lower power at same throughput, while ADS7822U trades speed and AC performance for integrated reference and lower BOM count - choice depends on whether throughput headroom or reference simplicity dominates the design priority.

FAQ
What is the reference voltage requirement for AD7475BRMZ?
The AD7475BRMZ requires an external 2.5 V ±1% reference applied to the REF IN pin. This reference sets the full-scale analog input range (0 V to 2.5 V). A minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed directly at the REF IN pin to GND for stability and noise rejection. The AD7475BRMZ does not include an internal reference - unlike the pin-compatible AD7495 - so reference selection critically impacts gain error and temperature drift.
Does AD7475BRMZ support SPI mode 0 or mode 3?
Yes, AD7475BRMZ supports SPI mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and mode 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1) because its SDATA output is valid on the falling edge of SCLK and is sampled on the same edge. The device is explicitly specified as SPI-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible, and timing diagrams confirm setup/hold relationships align with both modes. No configuration register is needed - interface behavior is hardwired.
Can AD7475BRMZ operate with VDD = 3.3 V and VDRIVE = 5 V?
Yes, AD7475BRMZ supports independent VDD and VDRIVE supplies within 2.7 V–5.25 V each. With VDD = 3.3 V and VDRIVE = 5 V, the analog core runs at 3.3 V (reducing power), while digital I/O interfaces directly to 5 V microcontrollers. Absolute maximum ratings permit VDRIVE − VDD ≤ 0.3 V, so this combination is safe and commonly used to simplify mixed-voltage system design without level shifters.
What is the minimum quiet time (tQUIET) between conversions for AD7475BRMZ?
The minimum quiet time tQUIET between consecutive conversions for AD7475BRMZ is 100 ns, as specified in Table 3 of the Rev. D datasheet. This interval must elapse after SDATA goes high-impedance (t8/t9) and before the next CS falling edge initiates a new conversion. Violating tQUIET risks metastability or invalid data; it is independent of SCLK frequency and must be enforced in firmware or hardware timing control.
Is AD7475BRMZ pin-compatible with AD7475ARMZ?
Yes, AD7475BRMZ and AD7475ARMZ share identical 8-lead MSOP packaging, pinout, and electrical specifications - differing only in grade (B = –40°C to +85°C, A = –40°C to +85°C with looser INL/THD limits). Both use REF IN, VIN, GND, SCLK, SDATA, VDRIVE, CS, and VDD in the same physical locations and functional roles. PCB layout and firmware are fully interchangeable between the two variants.
