The AD5390 / AD5391 are complete single-supply, 16-channel, 14-bit and 12-bit DACs, respectively. The AD5392 is a complete single-supply, 8-channel, 14-bit DAC. The devices are available in either a 64-lead LFCSP or a 52-lead LQFP. All channels have an on-chip output amplifier with rail-to-rail operation. All devices include an internal 1.25/2.5 V, 10 ppm/°C reference, an on-chip channel monitor function that multiplexes the analog outputs to a common MON_OUT pin for external monitoring, and an output amplifier boost mode that optimizes the output amplifier slew rate.TheAD5390/AD5391/AD5392contain a 3-wire serial interface with interface speeds in excess of 30 MHz that are compatible with SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards and an I2C-compatible interface supporting a 400 kHz data transfer rate.An input register followed by a DAC register provides double-buffering, allowing DAC outputs to be updated independently or simultaneously using the LDAC input. Each channel has a programmable gain and offset adjust register, letting the user fully calibrate any DAC channel.Power consumption is typically 0.25 mA per channel.APPLICATIONSInstrumentation and industrial controlPower amplifier controlLevel setting (ATE)Control systemsMicroelectromechanical systems (MEMS)Variable optical attenuators (VOAs)Optical transceivers (MSA 300, XFP)

The AD5398A is a single, 10-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a current sink output capability of 120 mA. This device features an internal reference and operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply. The DAC is controlled via a 2-wire (1.8 V, I2C®-compatible) serial interface that operates at clock rates up to 400 kHz.The AD5398A incorporates a power-on reset circuit, which ensures the DAC output powers up to 0 V and remains there until a valid write takes place. It has a power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of the device to 0.5 μA typically.The AD5398A is designed for autofocus, image stabilization, and optical zoom applications in camera phones, digital still cameras, and camcorders. The AD5398A is also suitable for many industrial applications, such as controlling temperature, light, and movement without derating, over temperatures ranging from −30°C to +85°C. The I2C address range for the AD5398A is 0x18 to 0x1F inclusive.

The AD5412/AD5422are low cost, precision, fully integrated 12-/16-bit digital-to-analog converters (DAC) offering a pro-grammable current source and programmable voltage output designed to meet the requirements of industrial process control applications.The output current range is programmable at 4 mA to 20 mA, 0 mA to 20 mA, or an overrange function of 0 mA to 24 mA.The LFCSP version of this product has a CAP2 pin so that the HART signals can be coupled onto the current output of the AD5412/AD5422.Voltage output is provided from a separate pin that can be configured to provide 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, ±5 V, or ±10 V output ranges; an overrange of 10% is available on all ranges.Analog outputs are short and open-circuit protected and can drive capacitive loads of 1 μF.The device operates with an AVDD power supply range from 10.8 V to 40 V. Current loop compliance voltage is 0 V to AVDD− 2.5 V.The flexible serial interface is SPI- and MICROWIRE™-compatible and can be operated in 3-wire mode to minimize the digital isolation required in isolated applications.The device also includes a power-on-reset function, ensuring that the device powers up in a known state. The part also includes an asynchronous clear pin (CLEAR) that sets the outputs to zero-scale/midscale voltage output or the low end of the selected current range.The total output error is typically ±0.01% in current mode and ±0.01% in voltage mode.ApplicationsProcess controlsActuator controlsPLCHART network connectivity (LFCSP package only)

The AD5415 is a CMOS, 12-bit, dual channel, current output digital-to-analog converter. This device operates from a 2.5 V to 5.5 V power supply, making it suited to battery-powered applications and other applications.As a result of being manufactured on a CMOS submicron process, this part offers excellent 4-quadrant multiplication characteristics, with large-signal multiplying bandwidths of 10 MHz.The applied external reference input voltage (VREF) determines the full scale output current. An integrated feedback resistor (RFB) provides temperature tracking and full scale voltage output when combined with an external current to voltage precision amplifier. In addition, this device contains the 4-quadrant resistors necessary for bipolar operation and other configuration modes.This DAC uses a double buffered, 3-wire serial interface that is compatible with SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and most DSP interface standards. In addition, a serial data out pin (SDO) allows daisy-chaining when multiple packages are used. Data readback allows the user to read the contents of the DAC register via the SDO pin. On power-up, the internal shift register and latches are filled with 0s, and the DAC outputs are at zero scale.The AD5415 DAC is available in a 24-lead TSSOP package. The EVAL-AD5415/AD5449SDZ evaluation board is available for evaluating DAC performance.
