Product details
Overview
AD7475BRZ 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, ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity (B grade), and 4.5 mW power consumption at 3 V/1 MSPS. It serves as a high-speed, low-power analog front-end for portable data acquisition in battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7475BRZ datasheet, AD7475BRZ pinout, AD7475BRZ application, or AD7475BRZ equivalent, key selection criteria include external 2.5 V reference requirement, VDRIVE-independent 3 V/5 V logic interface, no pipeline delay, 800 ns conversion time, and SOIC/MSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The AD7475BRZ implements a capacitive DAC-based successive-approximation architecture with a track-and-hold amplifier supporting full-power bandwidth up to 8.3 MHz (–3 dB) and 1.3 MHz (–0.1 dB). Conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS and synchronized to SCLK, requiring exactly 16 clock cycles at 20 MHz for 800 ns completion.
It uses straight binary output coding, supports SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible serial interfaces, and provides three power modes: normal (1.5 mA at 3 V), partial power-down (100 µA static), and full shutdown (1 µA). The VDRIVE pin decouples logic-level voltage (2.7 V–5.25 V) from VDD, enabling direct interfacing with mixed-voltage microcontrollers.
Key Specifications

| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS - supports real-time sampling of signals up to 500 kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| SINAD | 68 dB min at 300 kHz - enables accurate digitization of medium-frequency sensor outputs with <0.4% RMS noise+distortion |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±1 LSB max (B grade) - ensures monotonicity and guarantees no missing codes across full 12-bit range |

| Conversion Time | 800 ns max - fixed latency determined by 16×SCLK cycles, enabling deterministic timing control |
| Reference Input | 2.5 V ±1% external - requires stable buffered source on REF IN pin; mandates ≥0.1 µF local decoupling |
Pinout & Package
AD7475BRZ is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (body width 3.9 mm, JEDEC MS-012), with pin 1 marked by notch or dot. Thermal impedance θJA = 157°C/W enables operation up to +85°C ambient without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF IN | External reference input | Accepts 2.5 V ±1% precision voltage; must be decoupled with ≥0.1 µF capacitor to GND for stable conversion accuracy |
| 2 - VIN | Analog input | Single-ended input referenced to GND; full-scale range = 0 V to REF IN voltage; 20 pF input capacitance |
| 3 - GND | Analog ground | Primary return path for analog circuitry; must connect to clean analog ground plane, separate from digital ground |
| 4 - SCLK | Serial clock input | Drives both data transfer and internal ADC conversion timing; supports 10 kHz–20 MHz frequency range |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial data output | 3-state output delivering 12-bit result MSB-first preceded by four leading zeros; driven by VDRIVE voltage |
| 6 - VDRIVE | Logic interface supply | Sets I/O voltage level independently of VDD; allows direct connection to 3 V or 5 V processors without level shifters |
| 7 - CS | Chip select (active low) | Initiates sampling on falling edge; frames serial data transfer; controls power mode transitions |
| 8 - VDD | Analog/digital supply | Single 2.7 V–5.25 V supply powering core ADC, T/H, and logic; 750 µA static current draw |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | True successive-approximation behavior with deterministic 800 ns conversion latency-enables precise time-critical sampling control via CS edge |
| VDRIVE voltage independence | Serial interface operates at VDRIVE level (2.7 V–5.25 V) regardless of VDD, eliminating need for external level translation in mixed-supply systems |
| Three-tier power management | Full shutdown (1 µA), partial power-down (100 µA), and dynamic scaling via SCLK rate allow average power optimization across variable throughput demands |
| Wide supply range | Functional operation from 2.7 V to 5.25 V enables direct integration into legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V/3 V systems without regulators |
| High input bandwidth | 8.3 MHz full-power bandwidth (–3 dB) supports accurate digitization of fast transients and RF-sampled baseband signals |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7476BRZ | Same 12-bit SAR architecture but rated for 1.25 MSPS; identical pinout, package, and reference scheme; higher max SCLK (25 MHz) | Requires faster controller clocking; offers margin for future throughput upgrades without layout change | Select AD7476BRZ when system design targets >1 MSPS headroom or plans migration to higher sample rates |
| ADS7822U | TI 12-bit SAR ADC; 200 kSPS max; uses internal 2.5 V reference; SPI-compatible but lacks VDRIVE pin; SO-8 package | Lower power (1.25 mW at 200 kSPS) but cannot match 1 MSPS throughput or flexible logic interfacing | Choose ADS7822U only for cost-sensitive, low-throughput applications where external reference elimination outweighs speed loss |
Compared with AD7475BRZ, AD7476BRZ provides verified throughput headroom within identical footprint and biasing, while ADS7822U trades speed and interface flexibility for lower cost and integrated reference-making AD7475BRZ optimal for balanced performance in portable 1 MSPS systems.

FAQ
What reference voltage does the AD7475BRZ require?
The AD7475BRZ requires an external 2.5 V ±1% reference applied to the REF IN pin. Unlike the AD7495, it does not include an internal reference. A minimum 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between REF IN and GND to ensure stable conversion accuracy and low noise performance across the full 1 MSPS throughput range of the AD7475BRZ.
Does the AD7475BRZ support 3 V microcontroller interfaces?
Yes, the AD7475BRZ supports direct 3 V microcontroller interfacing via its VDRIVE pin. When VDRIVE is tied to a 3 V supply, all digital inputs (CS, SCLK) accept 3 V logic levels and the SDATA output swings between 0.4 V and VDRIVE − 0.2 V, enabling seamless SPI communication with 3 V MCUs without level-shifting circuitry-this capability is fully specified and validated for the AD7475BRZ.
What is the maximum sampling rate of the AD7475BRZ?
The AD7475BRZ achieves a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, confirmed under conditions of VDD = 2.7 V to 5.25 V, fSCLK = 20 MHz, and TA = −40°C to +85°C. This rate is enabled by a fixed 16-cycle conversion time, resulting in 800 ns latency. Exceeding 20 MHz SCLK violates timing specifications and is not supported for reliable operation of the AD7475BRZ.
How does power management work on the AD7475BRZ?
The AD7475BRZ implements three distinct power states controlled via CS and SCLK: Normal Mode (1.5 mA at 3 V), Partial Power-Down (100 µA static), and Full Power-Down (1 µA). Entering Full Power-Down requires holding CS high and stopping SCLK; recovery takes 20 µs. This hierarchical control allows dynamic power scaling aligned precisely with acquisition duty cycles in the AD7475BRZ.
Is the AD7475BRZ pin-compatible with other devices in the AD7475/AD7495 family?
Yes, the AD7475BRZ shares identical 8-lead SOIC/MSOP pinout and footprint with AD7475ARZ, AD7475ARMZ, AD7495BRZ, and AD7495ARMZ. However, pin functions differ at Pin 1: AD7475 variants use REF IN, while AD7495 variants use REF OUT. Swapping them without circuit revision will cause functional failure-this mechanical compatibility does not imply electrical or functional interchangeability for the AD7475BRZ.
