The AD7228LNZ is an integrated circuit (IC) component that serves as an eight-channel, digital-to-analog converter (DAC). It is designed to convert digital input data into analog output signals with high precision and accuracy. Below are the key features and an overview of the AD7228LNZ:
1. Eight-Channel DAC: The AD7228LNZ is equipped with eight independent channels capable of converting digital data into analog signals. Each channel can be individually configured, enabling the IC to support multiple applications simultaneously.
2. 8-Bit Resolution: The IC offers an 8-bit resolution, which means it can convert digital inputs into 256 different analog output levels. This resolution is suitable for many general-purpose applications that require moderate precision.
3. Multiplexed Output: The AD7228LNZ features a multiplexed output architecture. It utilizes time-division multiplexing (TDM) to ensure the data from all eight channels can be handled efficiently.
4. Voltage Output: The IC provides a voltage output as its analog signal representation. It can generate analog output voltage ranges from 0V to a maximum positive voltage, typically Vref.
5. Wide Voltage Reference Range: The AD7228LNZ offers a flexible voltage reference range, supporting various analog output voltage scales. The voltage reference can be externally provided and can span from -10V to +20V
