AD7478AARMZ

Analog Devices · Analog To Digital Converters (ADCs) · MSOP-8

AD7478AARMZ from Analog Devices, in a MSOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VDD power_in Power supply input; the VDD range is 2.35 V to 5.25 V and also sets the reference and the 0 V to VDD analog input range.
2 SDATA output Serial data output carrying four leading zeros, 8 bits of conversion data MSB first, then four trailing zeros, clocked out on the falling edge of SCLK.
3 CS input Active-low chip select that initiates conversions and frames the serial data transfer.
4 NC unconnected No connect.
5 NC unconnected No connect.
6 SCLK input Serial clock input for accessing data from the part, also used as the clock source for the conversion process.
7 GND power_in Analog ground reference point for all circuitry; refer all analog input signals to this voltage.
8 VIN power_in Single-ended analog input channel with an input range of 0 V to VDD.
