The AD7524 is a low-cost, 8-bit monolithic CMOS DAC designed for direct interface to most microprocessors. It is basically an 8-bit DAC with input latches, and its load cycle is similar to the 'write' cycle of a random access memory. Using an advanced thin-film on CMOS fabrication process, the AD7524 provides accuracy to 1/8 LSB with a typical power dissipation of less than 10 milliwatts.
The AD7524 is a low‑cost, 8‑bit monolithic CMOS DAC designed for direct interface to most microprocessors. It features on‑chip data latches, low power dissipation (typical <10 mW) and guaranteed monotonicity over the full temperature range.
The device operates from a +5 V to +15 V supply and is available in multiple package options with temperature ranges from –40 °C to +85 °C (commercial) up to –55 °C to +125 °C (extended). Detailed specifications, absolute maximum ratings, pin configurations and functional block diagrams are provided.
