Product details
Overview
AD7476ABRMZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, single-channel, successive-approximation ADC with 1 MSPS throughput, operating from 2.35 V to 5.25 V supply and housed in a 6-lead SC70 package. It features 71 dB SNR at 100 kHz input, no pipeline delay, and SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface - enabling high-fidelity data acquisition in space-constrained battery-powered medical sensors and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD7476ABRMZ-REEL datasheet, AD7476ABRMZ-REEL pinout, AD7476ABRMZ-REEL application, or AD7476ABRMZ-REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-bit resolution with ±1.5 LSB INL (B grade), 800 ns max conversion time, 1 µA standby current, and internal VDD-referenced analog input range (0 V to VDD).
Technical Context
The AD7476ABRMZ-REEL implements a standard successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated track-and-hold, sampling on the falling edge of CS and initiating conversion simultaneously. Its reference is derived directly from VDD, eliminating external reference components and fixing the full-scale input range to 0 V to VDD.
Timing is fully controlled by the external SCLK: conversion requires exactly 16 SCLK cycles, with no latency between sample initiation and result availability. The device supports flexible power management via a dedicated CS-controlled power-down mode, achieving ≤1 µA quiescent current while retaining fast wake-up (1 µs power-up time).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - delivers 1 LSB = VDD/4096 quantization step for precise low-voltage signal digitization |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS - supports real-time sampling of signals up to ~400 kHz Nyquist bandwidth |
| SNR @ 100 kHz | 71 dB min - enables ≥11.5 effective number of bits (ENOB) for clean sensor signal capture |
| INL (B Grade) | ±1.5 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and <0.037% full-scale linearity error across temperature |
| Supply Range | 2.35 V to 5.25 V - interoperable with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic/system rails without level-shifting |
| Standby Current | 1 µA max - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling applications such as wearable health monitors |
| Conversion Time | 800 ns max - deterministic 16-SCLK cycle timing simplifies timing budgeting in microcontroller interfaces |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Power supply input | Single 2.35–5.25 V rail powers analog core, digital interface, and internal reference - no separate AVDD/DVDD required |
| 2 - GND | Analog ground reference | Common return for all analog circuitry; must be connected to low-impedance system AGND plane to maintain 71 dB SNR |
| 3 - VIN | Analog input channel | Single-ended input with 0 V to VDD range and 20 pF input capacitance - requires external RC anti-alias filter for >13 MHz full-power bandwidth |
| 4 - CS | Chip select / conversion trigger | Active-low signal that initiates sampling on falling edge and frames serial data output - enables multi-device SPI daisy-chaining |
| 5 - SDATA | Serial data output | Three-state CMOS output delivering 4 leading zeros + 12-bit MSB-first result - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller inputs |
| 6 - SCLK | Serial clock input | Asynchronous clock driving both conversion timing (16 cycles) and data shift-out - supports up to 20 MHz for minimal 50 ns SCLK pulse widths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Deterministic 16-SCLK conversion with immediate result availability - eliminates latency uncertainty in closed-loop control systems |
| VDD-referenced ADC | Eliminates need for external voltage reference or reference buffer - reduces BOM count and layout area in cost-sensitive designs |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822U | 8-bit resolution, 200 kSPS max, 3 V only, 8-pin SOIC | Limited to lower-precision, lower-speed applications; lacks SC70 option and VDD reference flexibility | Select only when 8-bit resolution suffices and board space permits larger SOIC package |
| MAX1116EUA+ | 12-bit, 1 MSPS, but requires external reference; 8-pin µMAX package (3.0 × 3.0 mm) | Higher BOM cost and layout complexity due to reference IC and decoupling; 50% larger footprint than SC70 | Prefer AD7476ABRMZ-REEL where VDD referencing and minimal size are critical |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1116EUA+, AD7476ABRMZ-REEL uniquely combines 12-bit accuracy, 1 MSPS speed, VDD-referenced operation, and SC70 packaging - making it optimal for miniaturized, battery-efficient systems requiring no external reference or level-shifting.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7476ABRMZ-REEL?
The AD7476ABRMZ-REEL supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, achieved with a 20 MHz SCLK and 16-cycle conversion timing. At this rate, the device delivers 12-bit results every 1 µs, with guaranteed performance across its full −40°C to +85°C operating range and 2.35 V to 5.25 V supply range.
Does the AD7476ABRMZ-REEL require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD7476ABRMZ-REEL uses an internal reference derived from VDD, establishing a 0 V to VDD analog input range. This eliminates the need for external reference ICs or buffers, reducing component count, PCB area, and design complexity - a key advantage over alternatives like the MAX1116EUA+.
What package type is used for the AD7476ABRMZ-REEL?
The AD7476ABRMZ-REEL is supplied in a 6-lead SC70 package (2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.9 mm), the smallest standardized surface-mount package available for a 12-bit 1 MSPS SAR ADC. This enables ultra-dense layouts in wearables, handheld instruments, and space-limited sensor modules.
How does the AD7476ABRMZ-REEL manage power in low-duty-cycle applications?
The AD7476ABRMZ-REEL features a dedicated power-down mode activated via CS, drawing ≤1 µA typical current. With a 1 µs wake-up time, it supports burst-mode acquisition - ideal for battery-powered data loggers that sample once per minute and otherwise remain in ultra-low-power sleep.
Is the AD7476ABRMZ-REEL compatible with standard SPI microcontrollers?
Yes, the AD7476ABRMZ-REEL provides SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE/DSP-compatible serial interface: data is clocked out MSB-first on SDATA on the falling edge of SCLK, with CS framing each conversion. It operates natively with 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels and requires no protocol translation hardware or firmware abstraction layers.
