Analog Devices AD7541A 12‑Bit Multiplying DAC Datasheet
The AD7541A is a 12‑bit monolithic multiplying digital‑to‑analog converter fabricated in low‑noise thin‑film CMOS technology. It is offered in 18‑lead DIP, 20‑lead surface‑mount and ceramic leadless packages and is pin‑compatible with the standard AD7541. The device provides full‑scale endpoint linearity, improved gain error and temperature stability, and does not require external Schottky protection diodes.
Typical applications include unipolar binary (2‑quadrant) operation, bipolar (4‑quadrant) multiplication, and single‑supply voltage‑switching configurations. The datasheet includes detailed specifications, absolute maximum ratings, pin configurations, circuit analysis, and ordering information for various temperature‑grade versions.
