AD7524JNZ D/A converter, 8-bit, CMOS, DIL-16

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD7524 is a low-cost, 8-bit monolithic CMOS DAC designed to interface directly with most microprocessors. Essentially an 8-bit DAC with input latches, the AD7524’s load cycle resembles the “write cycle" of a memory module. Using an advanced thin-film CMOS manufacturing process, the AD7524 offers an accuracy of 1/8 LSB with a typical power dissipation of less than 10 milliwatts. A newly improved design eliminates the previously required Schottky protection and guarantees TTL compatibility when using a +5 V supply. The charging speed has been increased for compatibility with most microprocessors. The AD7524 interfaces are designed for operation from +5 V to +15 V and can be connected directly to most microprocessor buses or output ports. Excellent multiplication characteristics (2- or 4-quadrant) make the AD7524 an ideal choice for many microprocessor-controlled systems, gain adjustment, and signal conditioning applications.
