GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7524-EP is a low cost, 8-bit monolithic CMOS DAC
designed for direct interface to most microprocessors.
An 8-bit DAC with input latches, the load cycle of the AD7524-EP
is similar to the write cycle of the random access memory. Using
an advanced thin-film on the CMOS fabrication process, the
AD7524-EP provides accuracy to ⅛ LSB with a typical power
dissipation of less than 10 mW.
An improved design eliminates the protection Schottky previously
required and guarantees TTL compatibility when using a 5 V
supply. The loading speed has also been increased for compatibility
with most microprocessors.
Featuring operation from 5 V to 15 V, the AD7524-EP interfaces
directly to most microprocessor buses or output ports.
Excellent multiplying characteristics (2- or 4-quadrant) make
the AD7524-EP an ideal choice for many microprocessor
controlled gain setting and signal control applications.
Additional application and technical information can be found
in the AD7524 data sheet.
