Product details
Overview
AD774BKNZ from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter with on-chip 10 V reference, clock, and three-state output buffers. It supports 0 V–10 V, 0 V–20 V, ±5 V, and ±10 V input ranges; achieves 8 µs max conversion time; operates from +5 V logic, ±12 V/±15 V analog supplies; and targets precision data acquisition in industrial control and test instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AD774BKNZ datasheet, AD774BKNZ pinout, AD774BKNZ application, or AD774BKNZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its industry-standard AD574A-compatible 28-pin DIP package, 12-bit resolution with ±1/2 LSB linearity (K grade), flexible 8-/12-bit parallel interface, and internal reference stability of 10.00 V ±1% with 10 ppm/°C TC.
Technical Context
The AD774BKNZ implements a SAR architecture with integrated current-output DAC, comparator, and laser-trimmed thin-film resistor network for scaling and bipolar offset. Its control logic supports full-control mode (CS/CE/R/C) and standalone mode (R/C edge-triggered), enabling direct interfacing to 8- and 16-bit microprocessor buses without external timing components.
It features on-chip voltage reference trimmed to 10.00 V ±1% with 2.0 mA drive capability, and uses BiMOS II process to integrate high-precision bipolar analog circuitry with CMOS digital logic. Input impedance is 5 kΩ (10 VIN) or 10 kΩ (20 VIN), and conversion accuracy is maintained across –40°C to +85°C for B-grade variants like AD774BKNZ.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit parallel ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7819BRZ | 12-bit SAR ADC with SPI interface, 1.2 µs conversion, single +3 V supply | Designed for low-power, space-constrained embedded systems; lacks parallel bus and internal reference | Select when board space, power budget, or modern microcontroller compatibility outweigh need for AD574A pin compatibility |
| MAX197BCNI+ | 12-bit multichannel ADC with internal reference, 6 µs conversion, 8-channel MUX, +5 V only | Integrates multiplexer and reference but uses different pinout and control protocol; not pin-compatible | Choose for multi-sensor systems requiring channel scanning without external MUX, accepting layout redesign |
Compared with AD774BKNZ, AD7819BRZ offers faster conversion and lower supply voltage but requires external reference and serial interface redesign, while MAX197BCNI+ adds channel multiplexing at the cost of non-compatible packaging and control logic-neither provides drop-in replacement capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum conversion time specified for the AD774BKNZ?
The AD774BKNZ has a maximum conversion time of 8 µs under all operating conditions across its rated temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This value applies to both 12-bit and 8-bit conversion cycles and is guaranteed for the K-grade variant. The 8 µs spec enables sustained sampling rates up to 125 kSPS, making AD774BKNZ suitable for medium-speed data acquisition where deterministic latency matters. All timing parameters are tested with worst-case supply voltages at TMIN, 25°C, and TMAX.
Does the AD774BKNZ require external calibration components?
The AD774BKNZ does not require external calibration components for basic operation due to factory laser trimming of thin-film resistors for offset, gain, and bipolar scaling. Its internal 10 V reference is trimmed to ±1% accuracy with 10 ppm/°C TC, and input ranges are pre-calibrated. However, system-level trims (e.g., using R1/R2 in Figure 7) may be applied for tighter absolute accuracy. AD774BKNZ datasheet Figure 7 shows optional trimmer locations, but most industrial applications operate within spec using only the internal reference and default connections.
Is the AD774BKNZ pin-compatible with the AD574A?
Yes, the AD774BKNZ is fully pin-compatible with the industry-standard AD574A, sharing identical 28-pin DIP pinout, signal naming, and functional mapping. This allows direct replacement in existing designs without PCB modification. Key enhancements include faster 8 µs conversion (vs. 25 µs for AD574A), lower power consumption, improved linearity (±1/2 LSB vs. ±0.5 LSB typical), and tighter reference tolerance. All control timing waveforms remain compatible, though AD774BKNZ supports additional modes like standalone R/C triggering.
What are the supported analog input voltage ranges for the AD774BKNZ?
The AD774BKNZ supports four calibrated input ranges: 0 V to 10 V (unipolar), 0 V to 20 V (unipolar), –5 V to +5 V (bipolar), and –10 V to +10 V (bipolar). Selection is determined by external resistor configuration at BIP OFF and REF IN pins-not by internal register settings. For 10 V span, connect 10 VIN to AGND; for 20 V span, use 20 VIN. Input impedance is 5 kΩ (10 VIN) or 10 kΩ (20 VIN), and signals beyond supply rails are tolerated per absolute maximum ratings (±24 V on 20 VIN).
Can the AD774BKNZ operate from a single +5 V supply?
No, the AD774BKNZ cannot operate from a single +5 V supply. It requires three independent supplies: +5 V (VLOGIC, Pin 1), +12 V or +15 V (VCC, Pin 7), and –12 V or –15 V (VEE, Pin 11). The analog section uses dual ±12 V/±15 V rails to support bipolar input ranges and maintain DAC linearity; the digital interface runs from +5 V. Attempting single-supply operation will prevent proper comparator biasing, DAC current sourcing/sinking, and reference regulation-resulting in failed conversions or undefined output states.
