Product details
Overview
AD7476AWYRMZ 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-designed for high-speed battery-powered data acquisition in portable medical instruments and optical sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AD7476AWYRMZ datasheet, AD7476AWYRMZ pinout, AD7476AWYRMZ application, or AD7476AWYRMZ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade (–40°C to +125°C) operation, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for system-level selection.
Technical Context
The AD7476AWYRMZ implements a standard SAR architecture with track-and-hold sampling controlled by CS falling edge, enabling precise timing control without latency. Its internal VDD-referenced conversion eliminates external reference components while supporting 0 V to VDD analog input range.
Conversion is fully synchronous to SCLK, requiring exactly 16 clock cycles per sample; serial output delivers 12-bit MSB-first data preceded by four leading zeros. Power-down mode reduces current to 1 µA max, and full-power operation consumes only 3.5 mA at 5 V/1 MSPS.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit-guarantees monotonic transfer function with no missing codes up to full scale. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS-supports real-time sampling of signals up to 500 kHz Nyquist bandwidth. |
| SNR @ 100 kHz | 71 dB min (VDD = 2.35–3.6 V)-enables accurate digitization of low-amplitude RF or sensor signals. |
| Supply Range | 2.35 V to 5.25 V-allows direct interface with Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Power Dissipation | 5.1 mW max at 5 V/1 MSPS-reduces thermal load in space-constrained portable systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C (Y grade)-qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control environments. |
| Aperture Jitter | 30 ps typ-limits sampling uncertainty to <0.02 LSB at 100 kHz input, preserving dynamic accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
AD7476AWYRMZ is housed in a 6-lead SC70 package (2.2 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm), optimized for ultra-compact PCB layouts in handheld and wearable electronics.
| 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 external reference required. |
| 2: GND | Analog ground reference | Common return for all analog circuitry; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3: VIN | Analog input channel | Single-ended input with 0 V to VDD range and 20 pF input capacitance-requires ≤130 Ω source impedance for full AC performance. |
| 4: CS | Chip select / conversion trigger | Falling edge initiates sampling and conversion; also frames serial data-enables precise multi-device synchronization. |
| 5: SDATA | Serial data output | Three-state CMOS output delivering 12-bit result MSB-first with four leading zeros-compatible with SPI, QSPI, and DSP interfaces. |
| 6: SCLK | Serial clock input | Drives both data transfer and internal conversion timing; supports up to 20 MHz clock rate for minimum 800 ns conversion time. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | True single-cycle conversion with deterministic 16-SCLK timing-eliminates latency-induced control loop errors in closed-loop systems. |
| VDD-referenced internal reference | Removes need for external voltage reference IC or resistor divider-reduces BOM count and layout area in size-sensitive designs. |
| 1 µA max standby current | Enables microamp-level system sleep modes; power-down recovery time is only 1 µs-ideal for duty-cycled sensor nodes. |
| SC70 footprint | Smallest available package for 12-bit 1 MSPS ADC-fits within 3 mm² board area, enabling integration into PDA and hearing aid form factors. |
| SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE compatibility | Direct connection to common microcontrollers (e.g., STM32, TMS320) without protocol translation-reduces firmware development effort. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS7822IDR | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, 2.7–5.25 V supply, MSOP-8 package, external reference required. | Lower speed and larger footprint; lacks automotive qualification and VDD reference. | Select when lower throughput suffices and external reference already exists in design. |
| MAX1116EUT+T | 12-bit, 1 MSPS, 2.7–3.6 V supply only, SC70-6, internal reference, but rated only to +85°C (A grade). | Not qualified for automotive or extended industrial temperature ranges. | Select for cost-sensitive consumer applications where –40°C to +125°C operation is not required. |
Compared with ADS7822IDR and MAX1116EUT+T, AD7476AWYRMZ uniquely combines 1 MSPS speed, SC70 size, VDD-referenced operation, and automotive-grade temperature range-making it the only option meeting all four criteria simultaneously for space-constrained, high-reliability embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7476AWYRMZ?
The AD7476AWYRMZ supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, achieved with a 20 MHz SCLK and 16 serial clock cycles per conversion. This rate is guaranteed across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and supply voltage range (2.35 V to 5.25 V), enabling real-time capture of signals up to 500 kHz without aliasing.
Does the AD7476AWYRMZ require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD7476AWYRMZ uses an internal reference derived from VDD, establishing a 0 V to VDD analog input range. This eliminates the need for external reference components, reducing system cost and PCB area-critical in space-constrained applications like wearables and sensor nodes where AD7476AWYRMZ is commonly deployed.
What is the purpose of the four leading zeros in the AD7476AWYRMZ serial data stream?
The AD7476AWYRMZ outputs four leading zeros before the 12-bit conversion result (MSB first) to maintain consistent frame alignment across the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A family. This allows shared firmware drivers for 8-, 10-, and 12-bit variants, simplifying software maintenance when migrating between resolutions-without modifying bit-shift logic for AD7476AWYRMZ.
How does the AD7476AWYRMZ achieve low power consumption in high-speed operation?
The AD7476AWYRMZ achieves 5.1 mW max power at 5 V/1 MSPS through advanced process optimization and dynamic power gating. Its 1 µA max standby current and 1 µs wake-up time enable aggressive duty cycling-e.g., sampling for 1 µs then sleeping for 999 µs yields average power below 6 µW, extending battery life in AD7476AWYRMZ-based IoT endpoints.
Is the AD7476AWYRMZ pin-compatible with other members of the AD7476A/AD7477A/AD7478A family?
Yes, the AD7476AWYRMZ shares identical 6-lead SC70 pinout and interface timing with AD7477A and AD7478A variants. All three use the same VDD, GND, VIN, CS, SDATA, and SCLK connections and support SPI-compatible serial framing-allowing hardware reuse across resolution grades while adjusting firmware for differing data lengths in AD7476AWYRMZ implementations.
