Expanding our industry-leading D/A converter portfolio
Published2012.08.24 16:21August 24, 2012 – Analog Devices (www.analog.com, NASDAQ: ADI), a leading global provider in high-performance signal processing technology and data converter market share, has released its second generation of quad 16-bit and 12-bit 3V/5V D/A converter (DAC) series in space-saving 16-lead LFCSP and TSSOP packages. These AD5686/96 nanoDAC+™ quad D/A converters offer industry-leading DC performance (INL maximum ±2 LSB, offset error maximum ±1.5mV, gain error maximum ±0.1%) in ultra-compact packages (3mm x 3mm LFCSP) with SPI or I²C interface options. Various applications such as PLC (programmable logic controller) I/O cards, digital oscilloscopes, signal generators, and optical modules that require low-power, rail-to-rail, single-supply D/A converters can benefit from the industry-leading performance of the AD568x/9x series.
In addition, ADI has released the AD5316R and AD5317R quad 10-bit nanoDAC® converters. Both products provide DC performance similar to the AD5686/96, high robustness (maximum 4kV ESD), low-drift on-chip 2.5V voltage reference, and other features in a 3mm x 3mm footprint. These D/A converters have been developed to support flexible D/A converter output ranges and to meet the requirements of applications with limited board area and cost sensitivity.
