Multiplying DAC with Serial Interface

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD54251 is a CMOS, 8-bit, current output digital-to-analog
converter that operates from a 2.5 V to 5.5 V power supply,
making it suitable for battery-powered applications and many
other applications.

This DAC utilizes a double buffered, 3-wire serial interface that

is compatible with SPI
interface standards. An

simultaneous updates in a multi-DAC configuration. On power­up, the internal shift register and latches are filled with 0s and
the DAC outputs are 0 V.

As a result of manufacturing on a CMOS submicron process,
this DAC offers excellent 4-quadrant multiplication charac­teristics with large signal multiplying bandwidths of 10 MHz.

The applied external reference input voltage (V

when combined with an external I-to-V precision amplifier.

The AD5425 is available in a small, 10-lead MSOP package.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only and functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions above those listed in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability. Only one absolute maximum rating may
be applied at any one time.

ESD CAUTION

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
