Product details
Overview
AD7476SRT-500RL7 from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 1 MSPS successive-approximation ADC in a 6-lead SOT-23 package, operating from 2.35 V to 5.25 V supply, delivering 70 dB SNR at 100 kHz input frequency and featuring no pipeline delay for deterministic timing in battery-powered data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7476SRT-500RL7 datasheet, AD7476SRT-500RL7 pinout, AD7476SRT-500RL7 application, or AD7476SRT-500RL7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 12-bit resolution with ±1.5 LSB INL, 1 μA standby current, SPI-compatible serial interface, and single-supply operation supporting 0 V to VDD analog input range.
Technical Context
The AD7476SRT-500RL7 implements a standard successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with integrated track-and-hold, sampling on the falling edge of CS and completing conversion in exactly 16 SCLK cycles. Its reference is derived internally from VDD, eliminating external reference components while maintaining full-scale input range from 0 V to VDD.
Timing is fully controlled by the external serial clock (SCLK), with conversion rate directly proportional to SCLK frequency-up to 20 MHz for A-version operation. The device supports flexible power management via CS-controlled shutdown, achieving 1 μA max quiescent current and no latency between command and sample initiation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - delivers 4096 discrete output codes for high-fidelity signal digitization in precision sensing applications. |
| Throughput Rate | 1 MSPS - enables real-time capture of fast transients up to 500 kHz Nyquist bandwidth without undersampling. |
| SNR @ 100 kHz | 70 dB min - supports accurate measurement of low-amplitude signals in noisy environments such as portable medical instruments. |
| INL | ±1.5 LSB max - ensures monotonicity and predictable transfer function behavior across full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). |
| Supply Range | 2.35 V to 5.25 V - allows direct interfacing with Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic domains without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Standby Current | 1 μA max - extends battery life in intermittent-sampling systems like handheld diagnostic tools. |
| Conversion Time | 0.8 μs max - guarantees sub-microsecond latency from CS assertion to data availability on SDATA. |
| Input Range | 0 V to VDD - simplifies sensor interface design by eliminating need for external biasing or rail-to-rail op-amp drivers. |
Pinout & Package
AD7476SRT-500RL7 is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 6-lead SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Power supply input | Single 2.35–5.25 V supply powers analog core, digital interface, and internal reference; no separate AVDD/DVDD required. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog ground reference | Common return path for VIN, internal reference, and track-and-hold; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Analog input channel | Single-ended input accepting 0 V to VDD range; 30 pF input capacitance requires careful driver impedance matching for settling. |
| SCLK (Pin 4) | Serial clock input | Controls conversion timing and data clocking; supports up to 20 MHz for 1 MSPS operation; determines throughput rate directly. |
| SDATA (Pin 5) | Serial data output | MSB-first 16-bit frame: four leading zeros + 12-bit result; tri-state enabled when CS is high; compatible with SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE. |
| CS (Pin 6) | Chip select / conversion trigger | Active-low signal initiates sampling on falling edge and frames serial data transfer; also enters shutdown mode when held high between conversions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No pipeline delay | Guarantees deterministic, zero-latency conversion start and completion-critical for time-triggered control loops and synchronized multi-channel sampling. |
| Internal VDD-referenced ADC | Eliminates external reference IC and associated layout complexity while preserving full dynamic range across supply voltage variations. |
| 1 μA shutdown current | Reduces average power in duty-cycled systems (e.g., wireless sensor nodes) to sub-μW levels during idle periods without sacrificing wake-up speed. |
| SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-compatible interface | Enables plug-and-play integration with common microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, MSP430, PIC) without custom protocol firmware or glue logic. |
| 6-lead SOT-23 footprint | Minimizes board area and thermal mass-ideal for wearable devices and compact instrumentation where size and self-heating are critical constraints. |
| 70 dB SNR @ 100 kHz | Supports high-fidelity digitization of audio-band and sensor signals (e.g., piezoelectric accelerometers, strain gauges) without oversampling or post-processing. |

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, no internal reference - requires external VREF and higher supply headroom. | Lower precision, lower speed; suitable only for cost-sensitive, non-critical threshold detection. | Select only if 8-bit resolution and reduced throughput are acceptable and external reference design is feasible. |
| MAX1116EUT+T | 12-bit, 1 MSPS, but uses external reference and requires 2.7–3.6 V supply only; INL ±2 LSB, SNR 68 dB - slightly lower DC and AC performance. | Compatible in speed and resolution but demands additional reference IC and tighter supply regulation. | Choose when existing designs already use MAXIM's reference ecosystem or require pin-compatible migration within same family. |
Compared with ADS7822U and MAX1116EUT+T, AD7476SRT-500RL7 provides superior 12-bit accuracy with internal VDD reference, wider supply range (2.35–5.25 V), and guaranteed no missing codes - reducing BOM count and layout complexity while maintaining 1 MSPS throughput in the smallest possible footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7476SRT-500RL7?
The AD7476SRT-500RL7 supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS when operated with a 20 MHz SCLK and VDD ≥ 2.7 V. At lower supply voltages (2.35–2.7 V), the maximum SCLK is 12 MHz, limiting throughput to 600 kSPS. This is confirmed in Table 1 of the Rev. F datasheet under "AD7476 Specifications" for the S version.
Does the AD7476SRT-500RL7 require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD7476SRT-500RL7 uses an internal reference derived from VDD, enabling a full-scale analog input range of 0 V to VDD. This eliminates the need for external reference components and simplifies system design-confirmed in the General Description section and Figure 1 functional block diagram of the AD7476/AD7477/AD7478 datasheet.
What is the guaranteed integral nonlinearity (INL) specification for the AD7476SRT-500RL7?
The AD7476SRT-500RL7 has a guaranteed integral nonlinearity of ±1.5 LSB maximum over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), as specified in Table 1 under "DC ACCURACY" for the S version. This ensures monotonic behavior and predictable transfer function linearity for precision measurement applications.
How does the AD7476SRT-500RL7 enter and exit power-down mode?
The AD7476SRT-500RL7 enters full power-down mode automatically when CS is held high and SCLK is inactive, drawing ≤1 μA. It exits power-down and begins conversion on the falling edge of CS, with typical power-up time of 1 μs (Table 4, tPOWER-UP). No separate command or reset sequence is required-operation is fully CS-driven.
Is the AD7476SRT-500RL7 compatible with standard SPI interfaces?
Yes, the AD7476SRT-500RL7 features an SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible serial interface. It outputs MSB-first data on SDATA synchronized to the falling edge of SCLK, with CS acting as frame synchronization-enabling direct connection to standard SPI peripherals on microcontrollers without protocol translation or bit-banging.
What is the aperture jitter performance of the AD7476SRT-500RL7?
The AD7476SRT-500RL7 exhibits 30 ps typical aperture jitter, as specified in Table 1 under "DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE." This low jitter contributes directly to its 70 dB SNR at 100 kHz input frequency and supports accurate digitization of high-frequency signals in optical and RF-sensing applications.
