The LTC2636CDE-HZ8#PBF is a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Linear Technology (now part of Analog Devices). Let's have a brief overview of its key features:
1. Resolution: The LTC2636CDE-HZ8#PBF offers a 12-bit resolution, allowing it to convert digital data into precise analog voltage levels.
2. Number of Channels: This IC component is a multiplexed 8-channel DAC. It can generate analog outputs individually for each of the channels, making it suitable for applications requiring multiple analog signals.
3. Integrated Precision Reference: The LTC2636CDE-HZ8#PBF includes an integrated precision reference voltage source. This eliminates the need for an external voltage reference and provides greater convenience during the design and implementation process.
4. Wide Output Range: The DAC provides a wide output voltage range from 0V to Vref (reference voltage). The Vref can be set from 2.5V to 5V using an external reference voltage.
5. High Accuracy: It offers excellent accuracy with a maximum integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1LSB (Least Significant Bit) and a maximum differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1LSB. This ensures accurate and reliable analog output values
