The AD7224LRZ-18 is an integrated circuit (IC) component capable of converting digital data into analog signals. It is specifically designed for applications that require high-speed digital-to-analog conversion. Here are the key features of the AD7224LRZ-18:
1. Resolution: The IC offers a resolution of 8 bits, which means it can convert digital values into 256 different analog output levels. This high resolution enables precise control over the output signals.
2. Fast Conversion Speed: The AD7224LRZ-18 is known for its fast conversion speed, allowing it to convert digital data into analog signals rapidly. This high-speed characteristic makes it suitable for applications that require real-time responses.
3. Multiplexed Outputs: The IC is equipped with four analog outputs, which are multiplexed. This means all four outputs can be accessed through a single output pin. The multiplexing capability reduces the number of required output pins, thereby conserving board space.
4. DAC Architecture: The AD7224LRZ-18 utilizes a voltage-mode multiplying DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) architecture. This architecture ensures excellent analog performance with low glitch and high SFDR (Spurious-Free Dynamic Range) characteristics.
5. On-Chip Reference: The IC includes an on-chip reference voltage source, eliminating the need for an external reference voltage. This integrated feature simplifies the circuit design process and reduces component count
