Analog Devices AD7228A Octal 8‑Bit DAC Datasheet
The AD7228A is an octal 8‑bit voltage‑mode digital‑to‑analog converter that integrates eight DACs and output amplifiers in a single chip. It supports single‑supply operation at +5 V, +12 V or +15 V, as well as dual‑supply configurations for enhanced performance. The device features a common 8‑bit data bus, level‑triggered latch enables, and is compatible with most 8‑bit microprocessors.
The datasheet provides detailed functional block diagrams, electrical specifications, absolute maximum ratings, pin configurations for various packages, and example circuits for unipolar, bipolar, and self‑programmable reference applications. It also includes timing diagrams for microprocessor interfacing and guidance on using the DACs for coarse/fine adjustment and timing deskew.
