The AD5726 is a quad, 12-bit, serial input, voltage output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) fabricated on Analog Devices, Inc., iCMOS® process technology1 that offers guaranteed monotonicity and integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB maximum. Output voltage swing is set by two reference inputs, VREFP and VREFN. The DAC has four independent outputs, providing the flexibility of obtaining multiple analog outputs from a single DAC chip. The AD5726 is fabricated using Analog Devices' iCMOS® process technology, which combines the low power and speed advantages of CMOS with the low noise and high linearity advantages of BiCMOS. In addition, iCMOS® technology provides higher gain-bandwidth product (GBW), resulting in superior performance.
The AD5726 from Analog Devices is a quad, 12‑bit, serial‑input digital‑to‑analog converter offering both unipolar and bipolar voltage output ranges. It operates from +5 V to +15 V supplies and supports reference inputs from ±2.5 V to ±10 V, providing flexible output configurations.
Key features include ±1 LSB INL/DNL accuracy, double‑buffered inputs, asynchronous clear, and a maximum serial clock rate of 30 MHz. The device is available in 16‑lead SSOP, 20‑lead SSOP, and 16‑lead SOIC packages, with power dissipation under 240 mW at +15 V supply.
