Analog Devices’ nanoDAC+™ Converters Offer Industry’s Best
D/A Converter Performance and Smallest Packages
|
May 2, 2012 Press Release
-- ADI’s AD568xR nanoDAC+™ converter series features quad D/A converters with choice of 16, 14 or 12 bits
of
resolution in tiny packages for a wide range of instrumentation and communications applications.
 NORWOOD,
Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Analog Devices, Inc., (NASDAQ:
ADI) the data converter market share leader*, today introduced a series of quad 16-, 14- and 12-bit D/A
converters in space-saving 16-lead surface-mount LFCSP or leaded TSSOP packages. ADI’s new AD568xR nanoDAC+™
series of quad D/A converters has the industry’s best DC performance (INL, offset error and gain error) and
smallest package size, with a choice of on-chip or external reference and SPI or I²C control interface.
Applications such as PLC I/O cards, digital oscilloscopes, signal generators and optical modules that require low
power, rail-to-rail, single-supply D/A converters will benefit from the AD568xR series’ industry leading
performance.
“Customers, who previously had to trade off board area to achieve higher levels of digital-to-analog accuracy and
reference drift performance now have a solution that meets all of their requirements,” said Donal Geraghty,
director of Precision D/A Converters, Analog Devices. “The AD5686R delivers four D/A converters with 16-bit
accuracy and a 2-ppm/°C reference in a tiny 3mm x 3mm package.”
AD5686R Quad D/A Converter Features and Benefits:
- High relative accuracy (±2LSB max at 16-bits) – suits open-loop applications
- On-chip 2.5-V, 2-ppm/°C integrated reference and low drift saves board space and removes need for
calibration over temperature
- Tiny 3mm x 3mm, chip-scale 16-pin LFCSP package suits ever-shrinking board sizes (e.g. optical modules, PLC
I/O cards)
- 4-kV HBM ESD rating provides increased robustness
- Choice of resolution (16, 14 or 12 bits) and interface (SPI or I²C) allows users to select the exact part
required and still have a pin-compatible upgrade/down-grade path
- Available in high and mid-range performance grades (B and A) to match specific system performance and cost
targets
Pricing, Availability and Complementary Products
Complementary components include ADI’s
AD5750-2 which is a single-channel, low cost, precision voltage/current output driver amplifier, ideally
suited for use with the AD5686R in PLC I/O card applications.
