Analog Devices AD573 10-Bit A/D Converter Datasheet
The AD573 is a complete 10-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter consisting of a DAC, voltage reference, clock, comparator, successive approximation register (SAR), and three-state output buffers, all fabricated on a single chip. It is designed for use with +5 V and –12 V to –15 V supplies and accepts analog inputs of 0 V to +10 V or –5 V to +5 V. The device offers true 10-bit accuracy with no missing codes over its entire operating temperature range and requires no external components to perform a full accuracy conversion in 20 µs.

Questions answered in these manuals
Does the AD573 require external components for conversion?
No external components are required to perform a full accuracy 10-bit conversion in 20 µs.
What is the conversion time of the AD573?
The conversion time is typically 20 µs.
How is a conversion started on the AD573?
A positive CONVERT pulse at least 500 ns wide initiates the conversion cycle.
What package options are available for the AD573?
The AD573 is offered in 20‑pin ceramic DIP, 20‑pin plastic DIP, and 20‑pin leaded chip carrier packages.
How can the AD573 be configured for unipolar and bipolar input ranges?
For unipolar operation (0 V to +10 V) short the bipolar offset control pin to digital common; for bipolar operation (–5 V to +5 V) leave the offset pin open.
What is the maximum conversion time of the AD573?
Conversion time ranges from 10 µs to 30 µs depending on the device version, with 10 µs typical for the fastest version.
