GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD673 is a complete 8-bit successive approximation
analog-to-digital converter consisting of a DAC, voltage reference, clock, comparator, successive approximation register
(SAR) and 3-state output buffers—all fabricated on a single
chip. No external components are required to perform a full accuracy 8-bit conversion in 20 µs.
The AD673 incorporates advanced integrated circuit design and
processing technologies. The successive approximation function
is implemented with I
2
L (integrated injection logic). Laser trimming of the high stability SiCr thin-film resistor ladder network
insures high accuracy, which is maintained with a temperature
compensated sub-surface Zener reference.
Operating on supplies of +5 V and –12 V to –15 V, the AD673
will accept analog inputs of 0 V to +10 V or –5 V to +5 V. The
trailing edge of a positive pulse on the CONVERT line initiates
the 20 µs conversion cycle.
DATA READY indicates comple-
tion of the conversion.
The AD673 is available in two versions. The AD673J as speci-
fied over the 0°C to +70°C temperature range and the AD673S
guarantees ±1/2 LSB relative accuracy and no missing codes
from –55°C to +125°C.
Two package configurations are offered. All versions are also offered in a 20-pin hermetically sealed ceramic DIP. The AD673J
is also available in a 20-pin plastic DIP.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
A block diagram of the AD673 is shown in Figure 1. The positive CONVERT pulse must be at least 500 ns wide.
DR goes
high within 1.5 µs after the leading edge of the convert pulse in-
dicating that the internal logic has been reset. The negative edge
of the CONVERT pulse initiates the conversion. The internal
8-bit current output DAC is sequenced by the integrated injection logic (I
2
L) successive approximation register (SAR) from its
most significant bit to least significant bit to provide an output
current which accurately balances the input signal current
through the 5 kΩ resistor. The comparator determines whether
the addition of each successively weighted bit current causes the
DAC current sum to be greater or less than the input current; if
the sum is more, the bit is turned off. After testing all bits, the
SAR contains a 8-bit binary code which accurately represents
the input signal to within (0.05% of full scale).

The temperature compensated buried Zener reference provides
the primary voltage reference to the DAC and ensures excellent
stability with both time and temperature. The bipolar offset input controls a switch which allows the positive bipolar offset
current (exactly equal to the value of the MSB less 1/2 LSB) to
be injected into the summing (+) node of the comparator to offset the DAC output. Thus the nominal 0 V to +10 V unipolar
input range becomes a –5 V to +5 V range. The 5 kΩ thin-film
input resistor is trimmed so that with a full-scale input signal, an
input current will be generated which exactly matches the DAC
output with all bits on.
UNIPOLAR CONNECTION
The AD673 contains all the active components required to perform a complete A/D conversion. Thus, for many applications,
all that is necessary is connection of the power supplies (+5 V
and –12 V to –15 V), the analog input and the convert pulse.
However, there are some features and special connections which
should be considered for achieving optimum performance. The
functional pinout is shown in Figure 2.
The standard unipolar 0 V to +10 V range is obtained by shorting the bipolar offset control pin (Pin 16) to digital common
(Pin 17).
The SAR drives DR low to indicate that the conversion is complete and that the data is available to the output buffers.
ENABLE can then be activated to enable the 8-bits of data desired.
