Analog Devices AD561 Low Cost 10-Bit Monolithic D/A Converter Handbook
The AD561 is an integrated‑circuit 10‑bit digital‑to‑analog converter that combines a high‑stability buried Zener reference, laser‑trimmed resistor network, and fast current‑steering switches on a single monolithic chip. It offers true 10‑bit resolution, monotonic performance over the full temperature range, and optional MIL‑STD‑883‑compliant packages.
The device provides unipolar output currents of up to 2.4 mA, a compliance voltage from –3 V to +10 V (guaranteed –2 V to +10 V), and a typical settling time of less than 250 ns to 1/2 LSB. Power supplies from +4.5 V to +16.5 V (positive) and –10.8 V to –16.5 V (negative) are supported, with temperature grades ranging from 0 °C to +70 °C (J/K) and –55 °C to +125 °C (S/T).
