Product details
Overview
AD7476SRTZ-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, with no pipeline delay and SPI-/QSPI-/MICROWIRE-/DSP-compatible serial interface. It serves as the primary analog-to-digital converter in compact, battery-powered data acquisition nodes.
For engineers reviewing the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 datasheet, AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 pinout, AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 application, or AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use-value per application, confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences, and supply-chain support for volume deployment.
Technical Context
The AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 implements a standard successive-approximation register (SAR) architecture with internal track-and-hold, sampling on the falling edge of CS and initiating conversion immediately. Its reference is derived directly from VDD, enabling a full-scale analog input range of 0 V to VDD without external reference components.
Conversion timing is fully synchronous to SCLK - requiring exactly 16 clock cycles per sample - with no latency or pipeline stages. The device supports flexible power management via shutdown mode (≤1 μA), and its digital interface operates across 10 kHz–20 MHz SCLK, compatible with common microcontroller SPI peripherals without level-shifting.

Pinout & Package
AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 6-lead SOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 0.95 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, and 1.1 mm max height - optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Power supply input | Single 2.35–5.25 V rail powers analog core, reference, and digital interface; also serves as internal reference source. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog ground reference | Common return for VIN, internal circuitry, and noise-sensitive analog paths; must be low-impedance and separated from digital ground. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7476ARTZ-REEL7 | Same die, A-grade (−40°C to +85°C), identical specs except wider temp range; same SOT-23-6 package and pinout. | Targeted at commercial/industrial equipment where extended temperature operation is not required. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs military-temperature needs and full S-version qualification is unnecessary. |
| ADS7822U | 12-bit, 200 kSPS, 8-pin SOIC; uses external reference; higher power (1.25 mW @ 200 kSPS); no VDD-referenced mode. | Suitable for lower-speed, board-space-tolerant designs where external reference improves absolute accuracy. | Choose only if throughput ≤200 kSPS suffices and SOIC layout is acceptable; not drop-in due to speed, package, and reference architecture mismatch. |
Compared with AD7476SRTZ-500RL7, the AD7476ARTZ-REEL7 offers identical performance at lower cost in commercial environments, while the ADS7822U trades speed and integration for external reference flexibility - making the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 optimal for compact, high-throughput, single-supply systems demanding guaranteed military-temperature operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7?
The AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 supports a maximum throughput rate of 1 MSPS under specified conditions: VDD = 2.7 V to 5.25 V, fSCLK = 20 MHz, and TA = −55°C to +125°C. This requires a minimum SCLK period of 50 ns (20 MHz), and each conversion consumes exactly 16 SCLK cycles, resulting in a fixed 0.8 μs conversion time. The AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 achieves this rate without pipeline delay or latency, making it suitable for real-time signal capture in time-critical applications.
Does the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 does not require an external voltage reference. Its internal reference is derived directly from the VDD supply, establishing a full-scale analog input range of 0 V to VDD. This architecture eliminates the need for external reference ICs, buffers, or decoupling networks - reducing system cost, board area, and design complexity. However, analog input accuracy remains dependent on VDD stability and noise, so proper power supply filtering is essential for optimal performance.
What are the key timing requirements for interfacing the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 with an MCU SPI peripheral?
Interfacing the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 with an MCU SPI peripheral requires strict adherence to three timing constraints: (1) CS must remain low for ≥10 ns before the first SCLK falling edge to initiate sampling; (2) SCLK must operate between 10 kHz and 20 MHz with 40/60–60/40 mark/space ratio; and (3) SDATA becomes valid ≤70 ns after each SCLK falling edge (A version). The AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 outputs 16-bit frames (four leading zeros + 12-bit result) MSB-first, with data latched on SCLK falling edges - matching standard SPI Mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) configurations.
How does the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 handle power management in low-duty-cycle applications?
The AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 supports two low-power states: normal operational mode (≤3 mA at 1 MSPS, 3 V) and full power-down mode (≤1 μA with SCLK inactive). In low-duty-cycle applications, the host system can assert CS high and disable SCLK between conversions to enter shutdown, reducing average current to microamp levels. Recovery time from shutdown is 1 μs, allowing rapid reactivation for burst-mode sampling. This capability makes the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 ideal for wake-on-event sensor nodes where power budget is dominated by quiescent consumption.
Is the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 pin-compatible with other members of the AD7476/AD7477/AD7478 family?
Yes, the AD7476SRTZ-500RL7 is pin-compatible with all variants in the AD7476/AD7477/AD7478 family - including AD7477 and AD7478 - sharing identical 6-lead SOT-23 pinout (VDD, GND, VIN, SCLK, SDATA, CS), identical logic thresholds, and identical serial interface protocol. However, resolution (12/10/8-bit), dynamic performance (SNR, THD), and DC accuracy (INL/DNL) differ across variants. Swapping requires firmware updates to handle different data widths and recalibration to account for accuracy shifts, but no PCB changes are needed.
