GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7524 is a low cost, 8-bit monolithic CMOS DAC
designed for direct interface to most microprocessors.
Basically an 8-bit DAC with input latches, the AD7524’s load
cycle is similar to the “write” cycle of a random access
memory. Using an advanced thin-film on CMOS fabrication
process, the AD7524 provides accuracy to 1/8 LSB with a typical power dissipation of less than 10 milliwatts.
A newly improved design eliminates the protection Schottky
previously required and guarantees TTL compatibility when
using a +5 V supply. Loading speed has been increased for
compatibility with most microprocessors.
Featuring operation from +5 V to +15 V, the AD7524 interfaces directly to most microprocessor buses or output ports.
Excellent multiplying characteristics (2- or 4-quadrant) make
the AD7524 an ideal choice for many microprocessor controlled gain setting and signal control applications.

*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 indicated in the
operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
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 the AD7524 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.

an external potentiometer.
FEEDTHROUGH ERROR: Error caused by capacitive coupling from V
to output with all switches OFF.
REF
OUTPUT CAPACITANCE: Capacity from OUT1 and
OUT2 terminals to ground.
OUTPUT LEAKAGE CURRENT: Current which appears
on OUT1 terminal with all digital inputs LOW or on OUT2
terminal when all inputs are HIGH. This is an error current
which contributes an offset voltage at the amplifier output.
