Product details
Overview
ADC700JH from Burr-Brown Corporation is a 16-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter with integrated voltage reference, current-controlled clock, and TTL-compatible parallel/serial digital interface. It supports ±2.5V, ±5V, ±10V, 0V–+5V, 0V–+10V, and 0V–+20V analog input ranges, achieves ±0.006% FSR linearity error, and delivers 17µs max conversion time across 0°C to +70°C. It is used in precision industrial data acquisition systems requiring stable, high-resolution digitization of sensor or transducer outputs.
For engineers reviewing the ADC700JH datasheet, ADC700JH pinout, ADC700JH application, or ADC700JH equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world interface timing constraints, confirmed bipolar/unipolar coding modes (BOB/BTC/USB), and validated alternatives for military-grade 16-bit A/D conversion in embedded instrumentation.
Technical Context
The ADC700JH implements a fully self-contained successive approximation architecture with on-chip buried-zener reference laser-trimmed for <±10 ppm/°C zero drift and <±8 ppm/°C gain drift over its 0°C to +70°C specification range. Its internal current-controlled oscillator ensures stable 17µs conversion time without external clock dependency.
It features dual-output capability: parallel 8-bit byte-access via HBEN-controlled 3-state drivers (DB0–DB15), and synchronous serial output (16-bit NRZ) with dedicated Serial Data Strobe (pin 14). The Data Ready flag (pin 12) and Status (Busy) flag (pin 13) enable interrupt-driven microprocessor interfacing while permitting read-back of prior conversion data during active conversion.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Comparator Input | High-impedance node for external offset adjustment; must be bypassed or grounded if unused. |
| 4 | Gain Adjust | Analog input for external gain trim potentiometer; requires 0.01µF bypass to Analog Common. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 16-bit successive approximation A/D converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADS8505IPFB | 16-bit, 250kSPS, SPI interface only, external reference required, ±10V input supported | No parallel interface; requires external reference and clock; higher speed but lower DC accuracy (±0.012% INL) | Choose ADS8505IPFB for higher throughput in new designs where SPI simplifies routing and external reference is already present. |
| AD7656ASTZ | 16-bit, 250kSPS, parallel/serial interface, internal reference, ±10V input, 6-channel simultaneous sampling | Multi-channel architecture; higher power (120mW); larger 64-lead LQFP package; no military temp grade | Choose AD7656ASTZ when multi-channel synchronized sampling is required and commercial temp range suffices. |
Compared with ADC700JH, ADS8505IPFB offers higher speed but sacrifices DC precision and interface flexibility, while AD7656ASTZ provides channel density and modern packaging at the cost of military-grade temperature support and hermetic reliability.

FAQ
What analog input ranges does the ADC700JH support, and how are they selected?
The ADC700JH supports ±2.5V, ±5V, ±10V, 0V to +5V, 0V to +10V, and 0V to +20V analog input ranges. Selection is accomplished by hardwiring pins 26, 27, and 28 per Table I in the datasheet - for example, connecting the signal to pin 28 and leaving pin 27 open configures the ±10V range. No software or register programming is involved; configuration is strictly external and static.
Does the ADC700JH require an external clock source?
No, the ADC700JH does not require an external clock source. It contains a fully integrated current-controlled oscillator that sequences the successive approximation logic internally. The only externally accessible timing signal is the Serial Data Strobe (pin 14), which is derived from the internal clock and intended solely for synchronizing serial data capture - it cannot be used to drive or override the conversion engine.
How does the Data Ready flag (pin 12) behave during consecutive conversions?
The Data Ready flag on the ADC700JH remains high until the most significant byte (MSB) is read via HBEN and RD. If only the least significant byte (LSB) is read, or if no byte is read before the next conversion completes, the new result overwrites the latch and Data Ready stays asserted. This behavior allows continuous conversion back-to-back while preserving the ability to read prior results - a key feature for interrupt-driven microprocessor interfaces.
Can the ADC700JH operate with a single +5V supply?
No, the ADC700JH cannot operate with a single +5V supply. It requires three independent supplies: VDD = +4.75V to +5.25V (digital logic), +VCC = +11.4V to +16V (positive analog), and –VCC = –11.4V to –16V (negative analog). These dual ±12V/±15V analog rails are mandatory to support its bipolar input ranges and internal reference circuitry - attempting operation with only +5V will prevent functionality and may damage the device.
What is the purpose of the BTCEN pin on the ADC700JH?
The BTCEN (Binary Two's Complement Enable) pin on the ADC700JH selects the output coding format for bipolar input signals. When BTCEN = high, the ADC700JH outputs data in Two's Complement format (BTC), which aligns directly with signed integer arithmetic in microprocessors. When BTCEN = low, it outputs in Bipolar Offset Binary (BOB). This hardware-selectable coding eliminates the need for firmware sign-extension or code translation in real-time control loops.
