Product details
Overview
AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, single-channel, successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a 6-lead SC70 package. It operates from 2.35 V to 5.25 V, achieves 1 MSPS throughput, delivers 71 dB SNR at 100 kHz input, and features no pipeline delay-sampling on the falling edge of CS with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE-compatible serial interface. It is used in portable medical instruments requiring high-speed, low-power digitization of analog sensor signals.
For engineers reviewing the AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 datasheet, AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 pinout, AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 application, or AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use-value metrics, and validated alternative options for battery-powered, space-constrained signal acquisition systems.
Technical Context
The AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 implements a standard successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated track-and-hold, enabling precise sampling control via the CS input and eliminating pipeline latency. Its conversion timing is fully synchronous to the external SCLK, requiring exactly 16 clock cycles per 12-bit result.
It uses an internal VDD-referenced ADC architecture-no external reference required-yielding a 0 V to VDD analog input range. Power management is controlled through CS assertion and a dedicated power-down mode drawing ≤1 µA, making it suitable for duty-cycled sensing applications.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822IDGKR | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, 2.7–5.25 V, 8-lead VSSOP; SPI-compatible but slower and larger package | Limited to lower-speed sensor monitoring; lacks SC70 footprint and 1 MSPS capability | Choose when board space is less constrained and throughput < 200 kSPS suffices |
| MAX1116EKA+T | 12-bit, 1 MSPS, 2.7–3.6 V only, 6-lead SOT23; no VDD-referenced design-requires external reference | Not suitable for wide-supply or reference-free designs; incompatible with 5 V or sub-2.7 V operation | Choose only for fixed 3 V systems where external reference is already present |
Compared with ADS7822IDGKR and MAX1116EKA+T, AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 uniquely combines 1 MSPS speed, true SC70 size, VDD-referenced simplicity, and 2.35–5.25 V operation-making it the sole option meeting all four requirements simultaneously in space- and power-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7?
The AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, achieved with a 20 MHz SCLK and 16 serial clock cycles per conversion. At lower SCLK frequencies, the effective sampling rate scales linearly-for example, 10 MHz SCLK yields 500 kSPS. The part guarantees performance across its full 2.35 V to 5.25 V supply range at this rate.
Does the AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 uses an internal VDD-referenced architecture, meaning its full-scale analog input range is 0 V to VDD. This eliminates the need for an external reference IC or resistor divider, simplifying design and reducing component count-especially valuable in space-constrained applications like wearable medical devices.
What is the purpose of the four leading zeros in the AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 serial data stream?
The AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 outputs four leading zeros followed by the 12-bit conversion result (MSB first). This fixed 16-bit frame format ensures consistent timing and simplifies firmware parsing across the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A family-allowing shared driver code for 12-, 10-, and 8-bit variants while maintaining hardware compatibility.
How does the AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 manage power in low-duty-cycle applications?
The AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 enters full power-down mode when CS remains high, drawing ≤1 µA (typically 50 nA). Upon CS assertion, it powers up in ≤1 µs and begins conversion-enabling ultra-low average power in burst-mode sensing. At 1 MSPS, active power is 5.1 mW max (5 V) or 3.6 mW max (3 V), scaling linearly with throughput.
Is the AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 pin-compatible with other members of the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A family?
Yes-the AD7476AAKSZ-REEL7 shares identical 6-lead SC70 pinout, interface protocol, and timing behavior with AD7477A and AD7478A variants. This allows hardware reuse across resolution grades; only firmware must adjust for differing bit lengths and leading/trailing zero patterns in the serial data stream.
