Product details
Overview
AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 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. It serves as the primary digitizer in portable medical sensors requiring high-speed, low-power signal acquisition with rail-to-rail input range (0 V to VDD).
For engineers reviewing the AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 datasheet, AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 pinout, AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 application, or AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SC70 package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases in battery-powered instrumentation, and two validated alternative parts for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 implements a standard SAR architecture with a track-and-hold amplifier capable of >13 MHz full-power bandwidth. Conversion is initiated on the falling edge of CS, and data is clocked out MSB-first on SDATA synchronized to SCLK falling edges - requiring exactly 16 SCLK cycles per conversion.
It uses an internal VDD-referenced ADC core, eliminating external reference components and enabling 0 V to VDD analog input range. Power management includes a standby mode drawing ≤1 µA, with dynamic power scaling tied directly to SCLK frequency and sample rate.

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 12-bit SAR core and SC70-6 package, but A-grade (–40°C to +85°C) vs. Y-grade (–40°C to +125°C); identical electrical specs | Not qualified for extended-temperature industrial or automotive under-hood use | Select AD7476ARMZ only if operating ambient stays ≤85°C and cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin needs |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS max, 8-pin SOIC; requires external reference; higher power (1.25 mW @ 200 kSPS) | Lacks 1 MSPS speed and integrated reference; unsuitable for high-throughput portable designs | Choose ADS7822U only when lower speed suffices and SOIC assembly is preferred over SC70 reflow constraints |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7?
The AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS, achieved when the serial clock (SCLK) operates at 20 MHz. Its conversion time is fixed at 16 SCLK cycles, so lowering SCLK proportionally reduces throughput - e.g., at 10 MHz SCLK, the rate drops to 625 kSPS. This deterministic timing enables precise synchronization in time-critical systems.
Does the AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 uses an internal reference derived from VDD, enabling a full-scale input range of 0 V to VDD. This eliminates the need for external reference ICs or buffers, reducing component count, PCB area, and potential error sources like reference drift or noise coupling - a key advantage in compact, low-power designs.
What is the operating temperature range for the AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7?
The AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C (Y-grade), making it suitable for automotive under-hood, industrial control, and extended-environment portable equipment. This exceeds the –40°C to +85°C range of the A- and B-grade variants and is explicitly qualified for automotive applications per the datasheet.
How does the AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 handle power management in low-duty-cycle applications?
The AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 features a full power-down mode drawing ≤1 µA (typically 50 nA), activated by holding CS high. In this state, the internal circuitry is disabled while retaining configuration. Upon CS assertion, it powers up in ≤1 µs - enabling rapid wake-up for burst-mode sampling in energy-harvesting or battery-operated systems without sacrificing responsiveness.
What serial interface protocols is the AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 compatible with?
The AD7476AYKSZ-500RL7 supports SPI, QSPI, MICROWIRE, and generic DSP serial interfaces. Its SDATA output is three-state and synchronized to SCLK falling edges, with data formatted as four leading zeros followed by 12 MSB-first bits. No mode pins or configuration registers are required - compatibility is inherent in its timing and signaling behavior.
