The AD7528LN/ is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It is a high-performance monolithic 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that provides precise conversion of digital signals into corresponding analog voltages.
Key Features of the AD7528LN/+ include:
1. Resolution: The AD7528LN/ offers an 8-bit resolution, providing 256 output voltage levels or analog voltage steps.
2. Fast Conversion: The IC has a fast settling time of 1.5 µs, enabling quick response and accuracy in converting digital signals to analog voltages.
3. Voltage Output: The AD7528LN/ produces a voltage output ranging from 0 to VREF, where VREF is the external reference voltage supplied to the IC.
4. Output Buffer: It incorporates output buffer amplifiers that enable the direct driving of capacitive loads and external voltage followers, eliminating the need for additional driver circuitry.
5. Multiplying Capability: The AD7528LN/ has a multiplying mode feature, allowing the DAC to function as a variable gain amplifier or as a digital potentiometer when combined with external resistors.
6. Power Supply: It operates from a single power supply within the voltage range of 4.5V to 16.5V, making it suitable for various applications and power sources
