Product details
Overview
AD9221ARZ-REEL 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. It operates from a single 5 V supply, delivers ±0.4 LSB typical INL and 70 dB SINAD at 100 kHz input, and supports differential or single-ended analog inputs up to 5 Vp-p - used in precision data acquisition and imaging front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the AD9221ARZ-REEL datasheet, AD9221ARZ-REEL pinout, AD9221ARZ-REEL application, or AD9221ARZ-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5 MSPS sampling rate, 59 mW power consumption, 28-lead SOIC package, straight binary output format, and out-of-range (OTR) flag for overflow detection.
Technical Context
The AD9221ARZ-REEL implements a four-stage differential pipelined ADC architecture with digital error correction logic, enabling guaranteed no-missing-codes performance across –40°C to +85°C. Its sample-and-hold amplifier supports both ac- and dc-coupled inputs with configurable common-mode level via VINA/VINB and internal reference selection through SENSE pin.
It uses a rising-edge clock-triggered conversion cycle with 3-clock-cycle pipeline latency, straight binary output encoding, and dual-supply operation: AVDD = 5 V for analog circuitry and DVDD = 2.7–5.25 V for digital interface. Input referred noise is 0.09 LSBrms (VREF = 2.5 V), and aperture jitter is 4 psrms.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-bit, medium-speed ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9223ARZ-REEL | 3.0 MSPS max rate, 100 mW power, identical pinout and interface | Better suited for higher-bandwidth IF sampling or faster multiplexed channel scanning | Select when system requires ≥2× sampling headroom without changing layout or firmware interface |
| ADS8325IPW | 16-bit, 100 kSPS SAR architecture; SPI interface; no internal reference or OTR | Targeted at high-precision DC/low-frequency measurements rather than dynamic signal capture | Choose for applications prioritizing resolution and integral linearity over speed and real-time overflow detection |

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate supported by the AD9221ARZ-REEL?
The AD9221ARZ-REEL supports a maximum conversion rate of 1.5 MSPS, as specified in its datasheet under all operating conditions from –40°C to +85°C. This rate is fixed per device variant and cannot be increased via configuration. The clock period must be ≥667 ns, with minimum high/low pulse widths of 300 ns each. Exceeding this rate degrades AC performance metrics including SINAD and SFDR.
Does the AD9221ARZ-REEL require an external reference voltage?
No, the AD9221ARZ-REEL includes an internal voltage reference selectable between 1 V and 2.5 V via the SENSE pin. However, an external reference may be connected to the VREF pin for improved DC accuracy or temperature stability. When using the internal reference, VREF functions as an output; when using an external reference, it becomes an input with 5 kΩ typical input resistance.
How is the out-of-range (OTR) signal used in the AD9221ARZ-REEL?
The OTR signal on Pin 14 is an active-high indicator that asserts when the analog input exceeds the valid range defined by ±VREF. It is synchronized to the clock and appears alongside the digital output. Combined with the MSB (BIT 1), OTR distinguishes between high overflow (MSB = 1, OTR = 1) and low overflow (MSB = 0, OTR = 1), enabling real-time saturation detection without post-processing.
What are the power supply requirements for the AD9221ARZ-REEL?
The AD9221ARZ-REEL requires two independent supplies: AVDD = 5 V ±5% for analog circuitry (pins 15, 26), and DVDD = 2.7 V to 5.25 V for digital output drivers (pin 28). AVSS (pins 16, 25) and DVSS (pin 27) must be connected to separate ground planes. Supply rejection is ±0.06% FSR over the specified AVDD/DVDD ranges.
Can the AD9221ARZ-REEL interface directly with 3.3 V logic systems?
Yes, the AD9221ARZ-REEL supports 3.3 V digital interfacing when DVDD is set to 3.3 V. Its digital outputs meet VOH ≥2.80 V (IOH = 0.5 mA) and VOL ≤0.4 V (IOL = 1.6 mA) under those conditions, ensuring compatibility with standard 3.3 V CMOS inputs. The straight binary output format eliminates need for level-shifting logic in most host controller interfaces.
