Product details
Overview
AD872ASD/883B from Analog Devices is a complete monolithic 12-bit, 10 MSPS analog-to-digital converter with integrated track-and-hold amplifier and internal 2.5 V voltage reference, operating across –55°C to +125°C, delivering 61 dB SNR at 1 MHz input, and designed for high-reliability military data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD872ASD/883B datasheet, AD872ASD/883B pinout, AD872ASD/883B application, or AD872ASD/883B equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, MIL-STD-883B qualified thermal and timing behavior, package-specific terminal mapping, and validated alternatives for ruggedized sampling systems requiring guaranteed no-missing-codes performance.
Technical Context
The AD872ASD/883B implements a pipelined ADC architecture with on-chip THA and correction logic to achieve 12-bit resolution and ±0.75% FSR zero error over full temperature range. It supports dual-supply analog operation (AVDD = +5 V, AVSS = –5 V) and separate digital supplies (DVDD = +5 V, DRVDD = +5 V), with strict ground isolation requirements (DRGND–DGND ≤ ±0.3 V).
Timing is governed by a 100 ns minimum clock period (10 MSPS), 3-cycle pipeline latency, and output enable (OEN) control for three-state digital outputs. The device complies with SMD 5962-93060 and is qualified per MIL-STD-883 Method 1005 life test and Method 1015 burn-in.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 bits - guarantees no missing codes across full operating range |
| Sampling Rate | 10 MSPS - fixed maximum conversion rate defined by 100 ns clock period |
| SNR @ 1 MHz | 61 dB - limits dynamic range in medium-frequency signal digitization |
| Analog Input Range | ±1 V - differential input span compatible with precision op-amp front-ends |
| Internal Reference | 2.46 V to 2.54 V - trimmed 2.5 V output enables self-contained operation without external reference |
| Power Dissipation | 1.3 W - requires thermal management via θJC = 28°C/W in D-28 package |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - meets extended military ambient requirements per MIL-STD-883B |
Pinout & Package
AD872ASD/883B is supplied in a 28-pin side-brazed ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP2-T28, D-28), rated for hermetic sealing and high-reliability environments. Thermal resistance is θJC = 28°C/W and θJA = 60°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| CLK | Master sampling clock input | Accepts TTL-compatible signals; 100 ns period defines 10 MSPS max rate |
| OEN | Output enable control | Active-low; places parallel digital outputs (BIT1–BIT12, OTR) in high-impedance state |
| REF IN, REF GND, REF OUT | Reference interface | Supports internal 2.5 V reference or external reference; REF GND must tie to AGND |
| AVDD, AVSS, DVDD, DRVDD, AGND, DGND, DRGND | Supply and ground terminals | Strict separation required: AVSS = –5 V, AVDD = +5 V, DVDD/DRVDD = +5 V; DRGND–DGND ≤ ±0.3 V |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, high-reliability ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD676SD/883B | 16-bit, 100 kSPS SAR architecture; no on-chip THA; higher resolution but lower speed | Better suited for precision DC/low-frequency measurements, not wideband IF sampling | Select AD676SD/883B when resolution > speed; AD872ASD/883B when 10 MSPS real-time capture is mandatory |
| AD9057BSTZ-10 | 10-bit, 60 MSPS; CMOS process; commercial temp range only (–40°C to +85°C); no MIL-883B qualification | Targeted at high-volume industrial or telecom infrastructure, not aerospace/military deployment | Choose AD9057BSTZ-10 for cost-sensitive, high-throughput non-military designs; AD872ASD/883B where radiation tolerance and extended temperature compliance are required |
Compared with AD676SD/883B and AD9057BSTZ-10, the AD872ASD/883B uniquely balances 12-bit resolution, 10 MSPS throughput, on-chip THA, and full MIL-STD-883B qualification-making it irreplaceable for deployed military systems demanding guaranteed performance under environmental stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD872ASD/883B?
The AD872ASD/883B supports a maximum sampling rate of 10 MSPS, enforced by a minimum clock period (tC) of 100 ns. This rate is guaranteed across its full operating temperature range of –55°C to +125°C and is consistent with SMD 5962-93060 compliance. The AD872ASD/883B does not support oversampling or variable-rate modes beyond this specification.
Does the AD872ASD/883B include an internal voltage reference?
Yes, the AD872ASD/883B integrates a trimmed 2.5 V voltage reference with output specified between 2.46 V and 2.54 V. This internal reference enables standalone operation without external components and is used for both conversion scaling and REF OUT functionality. External reference operation is also supported via the REF IN pin, but the AD872ASD/883B's internal reference remains active unless explicitly overridden.
What are the power supply requirements for the AD872ASD/883B?
The AD872ASD/883B requires four independent supplies: AVDD = +5 V, AVSS = –5 V, DVDD = +5 V, and DRVDD = +5 V. Ground domains must be isolated-AGND, DGND, and DRGND are separate pins with DRGND–DGND limited to ±0.3 V. Total power dissipation is 1.3 W, with analog supply current totaling 242 mA (92 mA on AVDD, 150 mA on AVSS) and digital supply current totaling 23 mA (21 mA on DVDD, 2 mA on DRVDD).
Is the AD872ASD/883B pin-compatible with other AD872A variants such as AD872ASE/883B?
No, the AD872ASD/883B is not pin-compatible with AD872ASE/883B. The AD872ASD/883B uses a 28-pin side-brazed DIP (D-28) package, while AD872ASE/883B uses a 44-terminal LCC (E-44A) package with different pin count, layout, and terminal assignments-including additional pins for surface-mount-specific functions like QTR and multiple DRGND/DRVDD connections. Board redesign is required for substitution.
What does "no missing codes" mean for the AD872ASD/883B, and is it guaranteed?
"No missing codes" means the AD872ASD/883B guarantees monotonicity across its full 12-bit transfer function-every integer code from 0 to 4095 appears at least once for some input voltage. This is guaranteed per datasheet Table 1 (DNL = ±1 LSB) and applies across all operating conditions, including full temperature range and supply variations. It is a key requirement for closed-loop control and real-time signal reconstruction where code dropout would cause system instability.
