Product details
Overview
AD9221ARS from Analog Devices is a monolithic 12-bit, 1.5 MSPS analog-to-digital converter with on-chip sample-and-hold amplifier and programmable voltage reference, operating from a single 5 V analog supply and 2.7–5.25 V digital supply. It delivers ±0.4 LSB typical integral nonlinearity, 70 dB SINAD at 100 kHz input, and 0.09 LSB input-referred noise (VREF = 2.5 V), targeting precision data acquisition in medical imaging and communications front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the AD9221ARS datasheet, AD9221ARS pinout, AD9221ARS application, or AD9221ARS equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping to 28-lead SSOP, confirmed pin functions including CLK, OTR, and differential analog inputs VINA/VINB, and two validated alternative parts for sampling-rate-flexible 12-bit ADC selection.
Technical Context
The AD9221ARS employs a four-stage differential pipelined architecture with digital error correction logic, achieving guaranteed no-missing-codes performance across –40°C to +85°C. Its sample-and-hold amplifier supports both single-ended and differential input configurations, with flexible common-mode level setting via SENSE and CML pins.
Internal voltage reference operates in 1 V or 2.5 V modes, with ±35 mV tolerance at 2.5 V; external reference is supported. Clock input controls all conversion cycles, with 667 ns minimum clock period and 3-cycle pipeline latency-output data appears three clocks after sampling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 12-bit guaranteed, with no missing codes over full temperature range |
| Max Conversion Rate | 1.5 MSPS - defines maximum sustained sampling frequency without performance degradation |
| INL (Typ) | ±0.4 LSB - ensures accurate DC linearity for sensor and instrumentation applications |
| SINAD (Typ) | 70 dB at 100 kHz - enables >11.3 ENOB for high-fidelity signal capture |
| Input-Referred Noise | 0.09 LSB rms (VREF = 2.5 V) - limits quantization uncertainty in low-amplitude signal digitization |
| Power Consumption | 59 mW typical - supports low-power portable and battery-backed systems |
| Analog Supply | 5 V ±5% AVDD - requires stable low-noise analog rail for optimal SNR |
Pinout & Package
AD9221ARS is housed in a 28-lead SSOP (RS-28) package with 0.635 mm lead pitch and exposed pad thermal design. Pinout is identical across AD9221/AD9223/AD9220 family members.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLK | Clock Input | Single-edge-triggered master timing input; rising edge initiates sampling cycle |
| VINA / VINB | Differential Analog Inputs | Accepts true differential or single-ended signals; core input is VINA – VINB |
| OTR | Out-of-Range Indicator | Active-high flag signaling overflow; used with MSB to distinguish high/low saturation |
| VREF / REFCOM | Reference I/O and Common | Configurable internal 1 V or 2.5 V reference; REFCOM sets reference ground reference point |
| SENSE | Reference Select | Logic-level input selecting internal reference mode (1 V or 2.5 V) |
| BIT 1 (MSB) to BIT 12 (LSB) | Digital Output Data | Straight binary format; latched on clock edge with 8–19 ns output delay |
| AVDD / AVSS / DVDD / DVSS | Analog & Digital Supplies/Grounds | Separate analog/digital power domains minimize noise coupling into conversion path |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9223ARS | 3.0 MSPS max rate, 100 mW power, identical pinout and interface | Higher throughput required for faster sensor arrays or wider IF bandwidths | Select when system clock allows ≥333 ns period and higher dynamic power budget is acceptable |
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit SAR architecture, 100 kSPS, 5 V supply, 28-TSSOP package | Lower speed but superior DC accuracy (±0.5 LSB INL) and lower noise for precision DC measurements | Choose for high-resolution static measurements where 1.5 MSPS is excessive and 16-bit resolution is critical |
Compared with AD9223ARS and ADS8325IPW, AD9221ARS offers the lowest power (59 mW) and best balance of speed, noise, and linearity for medium-throughput mixed-signal systems-making it optimal when 1.5 MSPS suffices and thermal constraints limit dissipation.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD9221ARS?
The AD9221ARS supports a maximum conversion rate of 1.5 MSPS, with a minimum clock period of 667 ns. This rate is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and maintains specified AC performance including 70 dB SINAD and 86 dB SFDR. Exceeding this rate degrades dynamic specifications and may cause missing codes.
Does the AD9221ARS require an external voltage reference?
No, the AD9221ARS includes a programmable internal voltage reference configurable for 1 V or 2.5 V output via the SENSE pin. External reference is optional and supported through the VREF pin when higher dc accuracy or custom reference voltage is needed. The internal reference has ±35 mV tolerance at 2.5 V mode.
How does the OTR (Out-of-Range) signal function in the AD9221ARS?
The OTR signal in the AD9221ARS is an active-high indicator that asserts when the analog input exceeds the valid range defined by ±VREF. It works in conjunction with the MSB (BIT 1) to distinguish between high overflow (MSB = 1, OTR = 1) and low overflow (MSB = 0, OTR = 1), enabling precise saturation detection without post-processing.
Can the AD9221ARS operate with a 3.3 V digital supply?
Yes, the AD9221ARS supports DVDD from 2.7 V to 5.25 V, making it fully compatible with 3.3 V logic systems. Digital output levels meet VOH ≥ 2.80 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V under 3.3 V DVDD conditions, ensuring reliable interfacing with standard 3.3 V FPGAs and microcontrollers without level-shifting.
What package type is used for the AD9221ARS and how does it differ from AD9221AR?
The AD9221ARS uses a 28-lead SSOP (RS-28) package with 0.635 mm lead pitch, while AD9221AR uses a 28-lead SOIC (R-28). Both share identical pinout and electrical specifications, but the SSOP offers smaller footprint (10.2 × 5.3 mm vs. 17.9 × 7.5 mm) and improved thermal resistance (JA = 63.3°C/W vs. 71.4°C/W), benefiting space-constrained and thermally sensitive designs.
