The AD5626, a member of the nanoDAC®family, is a complete serial input, 12-bit, voltage output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed to operate from a single 5 V supply. It contains the DAC, input shift register and latches, reference, and a rail-to-rail output amplifier. The AD5626 monolithic DAC offers the user low cost and ease of use in 5 V only systems.Coding for the AD5626 is natural binary with the MSB loaded first. The output op amp can swing to either rail and is set to a range of 0 V to 4.095 V for a one-millivolt-per-bit resolution. It is capable of sinking and sourcing 5 mA. An on-chip reference is laser trimmed to provide an accurate full-scale output voltage of 4.095 V.This part features a serial interface is high speed, three-wire, DSP compatible with data in (SDIN), clock (SCLK) and load strobe (LDAC). There is also a chip-select pin for connecting multiple DACs.TheCLRinput sets the output to zero scale at power on or upon user demand.The AD5626 is specified over the extended industrial tempera-ture range (–40°C to +85°C). The AD5626 is available in MSOP and LFCSP surface-mount packages.APPLICATIONSPortable instrumentationDigitally controlled calibrationServo controlsProcess control equipmentPC peripherals
