Product details
Overview
AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, single-channel, successive-approximation ADC in a 6-lead SC70 package, operating from 2.35 V to 5.25 V with 1 MSPS throughput, 71 dB SNR at 100 kHz input, and no pipeline delay-used for high-speed data acquisition in portable medical instruments and battery-powered sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 datasheet, AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 pinout, AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 application, or AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12-bit resolution with ±1.5 LSB INL, SC70 footprint compatibility, SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE serial interface timing, and 1 µA standby current for ultra-low-power embedded systems.
Technical Context
The AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 implements a standard SAR architecture with internal track-and-hold, sampling on the falling edge of CS and initiating conversion simultaneously. Its reference is derived directly from VDD, enabling full-scale analog input range of 0 V to VDD without external reference components.
Conversion timing is fully synchronous to SCLK: 16 clock cycles required (800 ns max at 20 MHz), with 250 ns track-and-hold acquisition time and 50 ns minimum quiet time between conversions. Digital I/Os are SPI-compatible with MSB-first 12-bit output preceded by four leading zeros.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees monotonic transfer function with no missing codes up to 12-bit precision. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS - supports real-time sampling of signals up to 500 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR | 71 dB min at 100 kHz input - enables accurate digitization of medium-bandwidth analog signals such as optical sensor outputs. |
| INL | ±1.5 LSB max - ensures linearity error remains under 0.037% of full scale across temperature. |
| Power Consumption | 5.1 mW max at 5 V / 1 MSPS - delivers high-speed performance with sub-6 mW active power for thermally constrained designs. |
| Standby Current | 1 µA max - allows rapid wake-up from deep sleep while minimizing quiescent drain in battery-operated systems. |
| Analog Input Range | 0 V to VDD - eliminates need for external level-shifting or reference buffers when interfacing with rail-to-rail sensors. |
Pinout & Package
AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 is housed in a 6-lead SC70 package (2.0 mm × 1.25 mm, 0.9 mm height), optimized for space-constrained portable electronics. Pinout is validated per Analog Devices Rev. G datasheet Figure 5 and Table 6.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Power supply input | Single 2.35 V–5.25 V supply powers both analog and digital sections; also serves as internal reference source. |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Common return for all analog circuitry; must be routed separately from digital ground to preserve SNR. |
| 3 - VIN | Analog input channel | Single-ended input accepting 0 V to VDD range; 20 pF input capacitance requires low-impedance driving (<130 Ω recommended). |
| 4 - CS | Chip select / conversion trigger | Active-low signal initiates sampling on falling edge and frames serial data output; enables multi-device SPI bus sharing. |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial data output | Three-state CMOS output delivering 16-bit frame (4 leading zeros + 12-bit result, MSB first) synchronized to SCLK falling edge. |
| 6 - SCLK | Serial clock input | Master-controlled clock determining conversion speed (16 cycles = 800 ns max at 20 MHz); also clocks data out and drives internal logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | True single-cycle conversion with deterministic latency-enables precise time-critical sampling in closed-loop control. |
| Flexible power management | 1 µA standby mode + dynamic power scaling via SCLK rate adjustment reduces average power in burst-sampling applications. |
| VDD-referenced architecture | Eliminates external reference IC and associated layout complexity while maintaining 0 V to VDD input compliance. |
| SC70 footprint | Smallest available package for 12-bit 1 MSPS ADC-reduces PCB area by >40% vs. MSOP alternatives without sacrificing performance. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility | Direct interface to ADSP-2181, TMS320C54x, and modern microcontrollers without protocol translation logic. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7476ARMZ | Same die, 8-lead MSOP package (3 mm × 3 mm); higher θJA (205.9°C/W) than SC70 (340.2°C/W). | Preferred where board space permits larger footprint and thermal mass improves long-term stability. | Select AD7476ARMZ when layout allows MSOP and thermal derating margin is needed above 70°C ambient. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS max, 2.7–5.25 V supply, 8-lead SOIC; lacks SC70 option and 1 MSPS capability. | Suitable for lower-speed, cost-sensitive industrial controls where 1 MSPS is unnecessary. | Choose ADS7822U only if throughput ≤200 kSPS suffices and SOIC assembly infrastructure is already established. |
Compared with AD7476ARMZ and ADS7822U, AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 uniquely combines 1 MSPS speed, 12-bit accuracy, and SC70 miniaturization-making it the sole option for space- and speed-constrained portable instrumentation requiring no pipeline latency.

FAQ
What is the maximum sample rate supported by the AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7?
The AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, achieved using a 20 MHz serial clock (SCLK) with 16 clock cycles per conversion. At lower SCLK frequencies, the effective sample rate scales linearly-for example, 10 MHz SCLK yields 500 kSPS. The device guarantees full 12-bit performance across this entire range.
Does the AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 uses an internal reference derived from VDD, establishing a full-scale analog input range of 0 V to VDD. This eliminates the need for external reference ICs, reduces BOM count, and simplifies layout-while maintaining 71 dB SNR and ±1.5 LSB INL across 2.35 V to 5.25 V supply operation.
How does the AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 handle power management in battery-powered applications?
The AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 offers three power states: normal operational (5.1 mW max at 5 V/1 MSPS), static normal (2.5 mA typ), and full power-down (1 µA max). Its power-down mode activates automatically when CS remains high and SCLK is inactive, enabling microcontroller-driven burst sampling with minimal average current draw in portable systems.
What digital interface protocols is the AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 compatible with?
The AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 features a standard SPI-compatible serial interface supporting SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE, and DSP modes. It outputs 16-bit frames (4 leading zeros + 12-bit result, MSB first) on the falling edge of SCLK, with CS framing each conversion-enabling direct connection to ADSP-2181, TMS320C54x, and ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers without glue logic.
Is the AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the AD7476AAKSZ-500RL7 is qualified for automotive applications per its Y-grade specification, operating across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature with full parameter guarantees. It meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements and is listed in Analog Devices' Automotive Products section (Rev.
