ISL267450AIHZ-T Overview
A SAR ADC is a type of data converter that uses a binary-search successive-approximation algorithm against an internal capacitive DAC to digitize an analog input. SAR ADCs occupy the middle ground between slow, high-accuracy delta-sigma converters and fast, lower-resolution flash converters, making them the workhorse for general-purpose industrial, instrumentation, and process-control sampling where both speed and precision matter in a small footprint.
The ISL267450AIHZ-T features excellent linearity over supply and temperature variations, an integrated low-drift internal reference option, and a simple SPI-compatible serial interface that minimizes GPIO usage on the host microcontroller. Its SOT-23-8 footprint occupies roughly 9 mm² of board area, allowing it to be placed adjacent to the signal source for short, clean analog traces. The wide 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply range lets it accept a 3.3 V or 5 V rail directly, simplifying power-tree design.
Typical applications include multi-channel data-acquisition front ends, sensor-signal digitization for industrial process control, portable instrumentation, and battery-management monitoring subsystems. Its combination of 1 MSPS throughput and 12-bit accuracy makes it a strong fit for sampling current-sense amplifiers, thermocouple-conditioned signals, and strain-gauge bridge outputs.
When designing with this part, keep analog and digital ground returns separated and joined at a single point near the IC, and place the decoupling capacitor within 2 mm of the supply pin.

Typical Applications
ISL267450AIHZ-T is suitable for 6 applications: Industrial Process-Control Data Acquisition, Portable Instrumentation and Handheld Meters, Sensor Signal Digitization (Strain, Thermocouple, Bridge), Battery Management Subsystems, Motor Control Current Sensing, Medical and Wellness Monitoring Devices.
Industrial Process-Control Data Acquisition
The ISL267450AIHZ-T is well suited to industrial process-control front ends because it delivers 12-bit resolution at 1 MSPS from a 2.7 V to 5.25 V analog supply, sampling sensor signals directly from a 3.3 V or 5 V rail. Placed between a 4-20 mA current-loop conditioner and the host MCU, the SAR ADC provides 4096 codes of dynamic range, enough to resolve sub-0.1% changes in pressure, flow, or temperature transducer outputs. The SOT-23-8 footprint allows the ADC to sit within 5 mm of the analog sensor, keeping trace-induced pickup low. Its -40 C to +85 C industrial screening handles the thermal stress of factory-floor cabinets. Unlike delta-sigma converters, the 1 MSPS SAR throughput captures fast transient events such as valve closures and motor inrush without aliasing.

Portable Instrumentation and Handheld Meters
Portable digital multimeters and handheld instrumentation benefit from the ISL267450AIHZ-T's small SOT-23-8 footprint and 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply range, which lets the ADC share a Li-ion battery rail without a separate LDO. The 1 MSPS throughput provides instantaneous voltage and current snapshots for waveform capture, while the 12-bit resolution yields 1 mV LSB at a 4.096 V full scale - sufficient for 3.5-digit meter accuracy. The device's low power draw preserves battery life in field-deployed instruments, and the SPI-compatible interface connects directly to low-pin-count MCUs without bus contention. Compared to integrating ADCs, the SAR architecture eliminates input-signal conditioning delays.
Recommended
Sensor Signal Digitization (Strain, Thermocouple, Bridge)
Strain-gauge bridges and thermocouple amplifiers benefit from the ISL267450AIHZ-T's 12-bit accuracy and 1 MSPS sampling capability. Positioned downstream of an instrumentation amp with a gain of 100, the ADC digitizes a full-scale bridge output of approximately 50 mV to 4.1 V with 12-bit precision, well within the noise floor of typical load-cell applications. The wide supply range accommodates the 5 V sensor excitation rail and shares it for the ADC reference. For thermocouples with 40 uV/C sensitivity, the 12-bit resolution resolves about 0.1 C per LSB at the amplifier output. The compact SOT-23-8 footprint keeps the analog front-end dense on the PCB.
Recommended
Battery Management Subsystems
Battery-pack monitoring and battery-management systems use the ISL267450AIHZ-T to digitize individual cell voltages in multi-series Li-ion stacks. Operating from the 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply range, the ADC can directly sample cell voltages up to 5 V without external dividers, simplifying the analog front end. The 12-bit resolution provides 1.2 mV LSB at full scale, sufficient for coulomb-counting accuracy and State-of-Charge estimation. The 1 MSPS sample rate allows simultaneous sampling of multiple cells through an external multiplexer, avoiding sequencing skew. Its low quiescent draw extends runtime in always-on BMS applications such as e-mobility and stationary storage.
Recommended
Motor Control Current Sensing
Closed-loop motor control requires precise current feedback, and the ISL267450AIHZ-T's 12-bit resolution at 1 MSPS suits three-phase BLDC and stepper drives. Placed after a low-side current-sense amplifier with 20 V/V gain, the ADC resolves a 5 A peak phase current to roughly 12 mA LSB at the ADC input. The SPI-compatible serial interface feeds directly into field-oriented-control MCUs such as Renesas RA6T1 without bus contention. Industrial-grade -40 C to +85 C operation tolerates the harsh thermal environment of an integrated motor-drive PCB. Compared with on-chip MCU ADCs, the dedicated SAR achieves tighter DNL and lower aperture jitter.
Recommended
Medical and Wellness Monitoring Devices
Medical-grade monitoring devices such as pulse oximeters, blood-pressure cuffs, and body-worn health patches use the ISL267450AIHZ-T for its compact SOT-23-8 footprint and 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply range, which simplifies Li-ion-powered designs. The 12-bit resolution digitizes photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor outputs with adequate fidelity for heart-rate trending, while the 1 MSPS throughput oversamples for noise shaping on every beat. The SPI interface frees up GPIO on resource-constrained health MCUs. Although not AEC-Q100 qualified, the industrial -40 C to +85 C rating handles body-temperature and ambient swings in wearable form factors. Designers should add an external low-dropout regulator for medical safety isolation.

Key Differentiators
- SOT-23-8 footprint for 12-bit 1 MSPS SAR ADC (vs ISL267440IHZ-T (10-bit))
- Wide 2.7 V to 5.25 V analog supply (vs ISL267450AIHZ-T7A (same silicon))
- Industrial -40 C to +85 C screening standard (vs HI5812JIBZ-T (legacy Intersil 12-bit ADC))
Design Notes
Place the ISL267450AIHZ-T within 5 mm of the analog signal source and keep analog and digital ground returns separate, joining them only at the ADC's GND pin. Use a 0.1 uF X7R ceramic decoupling capacitor within 2 mm of the AVDD pin, plus a 10 uF bulk tantalum or ceramic on the supply rail. Route the SPI clock and data traces over an unbroken ground plane to maintain signal integrity at 1 MSPS.
Avoid routing the SPI bus near switching regulator inductors or digital clock lines; capacitive coupling at 1 MSPS can corrupt the SDO data. Always assert CS_n before applying power, and ensure the SCLK idle state matches the ISL267450A datasheet specification (CPOL/CPHA) to avoid spurious conversions. Failing to power the reference pin through a low-impedance source will degrade INL and DNL.
At full 1 MSPS throughput and 5 V supply, the ISL267450AIHZ-T dissipates only a few milliwatts; the SOT-23-8 thermal resistance (theta_JA approximately 200 C/W on a 1-oz JEDEC 4-layer board) is non-limiting in practice. Estimated: junction temperature rise at 30 C ambient is well below 10 C. Still, ensure copper-pour area beneath the exposed lead frame pad to improve thermal spreading in enclosed housings.
