Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The AD7740KRMZ is a functionally compatible replacement candidate for the AD7740KRM, sharing the same synchronous voltage-to-frequency converter core, 8-pin MSOP package, and supply range. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance, with the KRMZ suffix denoting the lead-free, RoHS-compliant variant. Designers should confirm solder profile and compliance requirements before substituting in production.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the AD7740KRMZ and the AD7740KRM?
The AD7740KRMZ and AD7740KRM are functionally identical synchronous voltage-to-frequency converters (VFCs). The primary difference is the package and ordering suffix: the AD7740KRMZ is supplied in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free 8-lead MSOP (RM-8) package, while the AD7740KRM is the non-RoHS (leaded) version of the same 8-lead MSOP device. Both share the same electrical specifications and operating temperature range.
Are the AD7740KRMZ and AD7740KRM electrically interchangeable?
Yes. Both parts are the same AD7740 VFC die in the same 8-lead MSOP footprint, with identical pinout, supply range (3.0 V to 5.25 V), and specified performance. The only distinction is RoHS/lead-free compliance, so they are electrically and functionally interchangeable in a given design.
What is the pinout of the AD7740KRMZ and AD7740KRM?
Both devices use the same 8-lead MSOP pinout: Pin 1 = REFIN, Pin 2 = VIN, Pin 3 = CLKIN, Pin 4 = GND, Pin 5 = CLKOUT, Pin 6 = FOUT, Pin 7 = VDD, Pin 8 = BUF. Because the pinout is identical, the PCB land pattern is the same for both variants.
What is the supply voltage and operating temperature range for these parts?
Both the AD7740KRMZ and AD7740KRM operate from a single supply of 3.0 V to 5.25 V and are specified over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C (the K grade). These parameters are identical for both variants.
Which variant should be selected for a new RoHS-compliant design?
For new designs requiring RoHS compliance, the AD7740KRMZ (lead-free, RoHS-compliant MSOP) should be selected. The AD7740KRM is the non-RoHS version and is generally not recommended for new RoHS-restricted products.
Do the AD7740KRMZ and AD7740KRM share the same datasheet specifications?
Yes. Both variants are covered by the same Analog Devices AD7740 datasheet, which specifies the synchronous VFC performance, linearity, clock input, and buffered reference characteristics. The datasheet documents the ordering options including the RoHS-compliant Z suffix and the non-RoHS version.
Can the AD7740KRM be replaced by the AD7740KRMZ without design changes?
Yes, in most cases. Since both are the same die in the same 8-lead MSOP package with identical pinout and electrical specifications, the AD7740KRMZ can directly replace the AD7740KRM on an existing PCB. The only consideration is that the Z suffix denotes lead-free/RoHS construction, which may affect soldering process requirements.
