GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD7537 contains two 12-bit current output DACs on one
monolithic chip. A separate reference input is provided for each
DAC. The dual DAC saves valuable board space, and the
monolithic construction ensures excellent thermal tracking.
Both DACs are guaranteed 12-bit monotonic over the full temperature range.
The AD7537 has a 2-byte (8 LSBs, 4 MSBs) loading structure.
It is designed for right-justified data format. The control signals
for register loading are A0, A1,
loaded to the input registers when
transfer this data to the DAC registers,
with
WR.
Added features on the AD7537 include an asynchronous
line which is very useful in calibration routines. When this is
taken low, all registers are cleared. The double buffering of the
data inputs allows simultaneous update of both DACs. Also,
each DAC has a separate AGND line. This increases the device
versatility; for instance one DAC may be operated with
AGND biased while the other is connected in the standard
configuration.
The AD7537 is manufactured using the Linear Compatible
CMOS (LC
microprocessors and accepts TTL, 74HC and 5 V CMOS logic
level inputs.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. DAC to DAC Matching:
Since both DACs are fabricated on the same chip, precise
matching and tracking is inherent. Many applications which
are not practical using two discrete DACs are now possible.
Typical matching: 0.5%.
2. Small Package Size:
The AD7537 is packaged in small 24-pin 0.3" DIPs and in
28-terminal surface mount packages.
3. Wide Power Supply Tolerance:
The device operates on a +12 V to +15 V V
tolerance on this nominal figure. All specifications are
guaranteed over this range.

*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 AD7537 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.
