AD976BN

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Overview

The AD976BN is a 16-bit, 100 kSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Analog Devices. It operates on a single +5 V supply and dissipates a maximum of 100 mW. The device features a switched-capacitor successive approximation architecture with an internal 2.5 V reference and high-speed parallel interface. It accepts a bipolar ±10 V input range and provides 85 dB typical Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion). The component is housed in a 28-lead Plastic DIP package.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Feature Summary

• Integrated reference and clock reduce external component count
• Factory calibration ensures high linearity accuracy

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Applications

• Industrial process control systems
• Data acquisition modules
• Precision measurement instrumentation

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific grade and package suffix against the manufacturer's ordering guide to ensure compatibility with design specifications. Confirm availability status as older components may have limited stock or end-of-life implications. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical parameters with the official datasheet before integration.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 16-bit resolution at moderate sampling rates. Ensure the system can accommodate the ±10 V input range or implement appropriate scaling. Verify that the parallel interface timing meets the microcontroller or DSP requirements. Consider thermal dissipation limits within the chosen package style.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Part Context

This part belongs to the AD976 family of BiCMOS A/D converters. It shares architectural similarities with the AD976A but offers a lower throughput rate of 100 kSPS compared to the 200 kSPS variant. The family is designed for general-purpose data conversion tasks requiring high accuracy and low power consumption.

Analog To Digital Converters (ADC) Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other AD976 variants such as the AD976AN or AD976AR depending on the required package type. Higher speed alternatives like the AD976ABN are available if throughput requirements increase. Ensure pin compatibility and voltage levels match when substituting.
