AD7836 is a quad 14-bit DAC with voltage outputs. It supports separate offset adjust for each output, reference range of ±5 V, maximum output voltage range of ±10 V, clear function to user-defined code, and 44-pin MQFP package.
This handbook describes the AD7836, a quad 14‑bit digital‑to‑analog converter that provides ±10 V full‑scale output with ±5 V reference inputs. It explains the device architecture, data loading method, and the use of the SEL and CLR pins for simultaneous channel updates and output control.
The document includes electrical specifications, timing diagrams, absolute maximum ratings, pin descriptions, and recommended configurations for both unipolar and bipolar operation, as well as power‑on behavior and typical performance curves.
