The AD723ARU is a highly integrated, serial input digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices. It is designed to convert digital signals into continuous analog outputs. Here is an overview of the AD723ARU along with its key features:
1. Resolution: The AD723ARU features an 8-bit resolution, which means it can convert digital inputs into 256 discrete analog output levels.
2. Interface: This IC is equipped with a serial input interface, making it compatible with various microcontrollers, microprocessors, and other digital systems.
3. Multiplexing: The AD723ARU has the ability to multiplex up to 300 digital inputs across its two analog outputs. This allows for versatile control of multiple analog channels using a single DAC.
4. DAC Architecture: It employs a R-2R ladder network to achieve voltage division and generate the analog output. The R-2R network provides improved linearity and accuracy.
5. Precision: The AD723ARU offers a high degree of precision with its excellent integral linearity and low total harmonic distortion (THD) specifications.
6. Output Amplifiers: The IC incorporates two on-chip output amplifiers that can drive low-impedance loads directly. This eliminates the need for external amplification circuits in many applications.
7. Power Supply: It operates on a single power supply voltage ranging from 4.5V to 16
