Analog Devices AD660 DACPORT Datasheet
The AD660 DACPORT® is a complete 16‑bit DAC that integrates a voltage reference, double‑buffered latches and an output amplifier on a single chip. It supports serial or byte input, daisy‑chaining, and provides both unipolar (0 V‑10 V) and bipolar (‑10 V‑+10 V) output ranges. The device is manufactured on Analog Devices' BiMOS II process and guarantees 15‑bit monotonicity over temperature.
The datasheet details electrical specifications such as 16‑bit resolution, ±1 LSB INL/DNL, 0.009 % THD+N, and timing parameters down to 40 ns. It also includes layout recommendations, power‑supply decoupling guidelines, and configuration examples for unipolar and bipolar operation, making it suitable for high‑precision instrumentation and control applications.

Questions answered in these manuals
What are the power‑supply requirements for the AD660?
Typical supplies are +VCC = 15 V, –VEE = –15 V, and +VLL = 5 V, with allowable ranges shown in the absolute‑maximum ratings.
How can the AD660 be set up for unipolar operation without external components?
Tie REF OUT directly to REF IN and SPAN/BIPOLAR OFFSET directly to VOUT; this config provides a 0 V‑10 V output without external parts.
What is the resolution of the AD660?
The AD660 provides a 16‑bit resolution.
What supply voltage range does the AD660 require?
It operates with a positive analog supply up to +15 V and a negative analog supply down to –15 V.
