The AD7538 is a 14-bit monolithic CMOS digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that uses laser trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve excellent linearity. The DAC is loaded by a single 14-bit wide word.
The AD7538 14‑bit DAC offers monotonic performance across the full temperature range, low‑cost upgrade for 12‑bit systems, and a small 24‑lead package. It features double‑buffered inputs, optional low‑leakage configuration, and operates from a +11.4 V to +15.75 V supply.
