Replacement verdict

Compatible functional replacement candidate

The AD9226ARSZ and AD9221ARS-REEL share the same 12-bit resolution, 28-lead SSOP package, and parallel CMOS output interface, making them functionally aligned in form factor and digital interfacing. However, the AD9226ARSZ offers a significantly higher maximum sampling rate (65 MSPS versus 1.5 MSPS) and correspondingly higher power consumption, so the AD9221ARS-REEL can serve as a lower-speed, lower-power substitute only in applications where the reduced throughput is acceptable. Designers should validate timing margins and power budget before adopting the AD9221ARS-REEL as a replacement.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key differences between the AD9226ARSZ and AD9221ARS-REEL?

The AD9226ARSZ is a 12-bit, 65 MSPS analog-to-digital converter, while the AD9221ARS-REEL is a 12-bit, 1.5 MSPS ADC. Both are members of Analog Devices' AD922x family and share a compatible SSOP-28 package and pinout, but they differ primarily in maximum sampling rate, power consumption, and dynamic performance. The AD9226ARSZ is intended for high-speed applications, whereas the AD9221ARS-REEL targets lower-speed, lower-power designs.

Are the AD9226ARSZ and AD9221ARS-REEL pin-compatible?

Yes. Both devices are offered in a 28-lead SSOP (RS-28) package and are part of the same AD922x pin-compatible family from Analog Devices. This allows a common PCB footprint, but designers must still verify that the surrounding circuitry (clock, input drive, and power) supports the selected speed grade.

What are the maximum sampling rates of these two ADCs?

The AD9226ARSZ has a maximum sampling rate of 65 MSPS. The AD9221ARS-REEL has a maximum sampling rate of 1.5 MSPS. The sampling rate difference is the primary selection criterion between the two parts.

How do the power consumption figures compare?

The AD9226ARSZ typically consumes about 475 mW at 65 MSPS from a single 5 V supply. The AD9221ARS-REEL typically consumes about 60 mW at 1.5 MSPS. Lower sample rate operation in the AD9221ARS-REEL results in substantially lower power dissipation.

Do both parts operate from the same supply voltage?

Yes. Both the AD9226ARSZ and AD9221ARS-REEL operate from a single 5 V analog supply (AVDD) and a 3 V to 5 V digital supply (DRVDD), consistent with the AD922x family architecture. Designers should confirm the exact recommended supply ranges in the respective datasheets.

What is the difference in packaging between the two orderable part numbers?

Both parts use the same 28-lead SSOP package. The "ARSZ" suffix on the AD9226ARSZ denotes the RoHS-compliant SSOP package in tube or tray form, while the "ARS-REEL" suffix on the AD9221ARS-REEL denotes the SSOP package supplied on tape and reel for automated assembly. Package dimensions and pinout are identical.

Can the AD9221ARS-REEL be used as a drop-in replacement for the AD9226ARSZ in an existing design?

Physically, the pinout and package are compatible, but functionally the AD9221ARS-REEL is limited to 1.5 MSPS versus 65 MSPS for the AD9226ARSZ. A drop-in replacement is only valid if the system's sampling rate requirement is 1.5 MSPS or lower and the clock, input network, and digital interface timing are re-validated against the AD9221ARS-REEL datasheet.

What are the typical applications for each device?

The AD9226ARSZ, with its 65 MSPS rate, is suited to high-speed data acquisition, medical imaging, IF sampling, and communications receivers. The AD9221ARS-REEL, at 1.5 MSPS, is suited to lower-speed instrumentation, industrial control, and portable or power-sensitive systems where its lower power consumption is advantageous.
