DESCRIPTION
This data sheet describes the evaluation board hardware and
software for the AD5428/AD5440/AD5447 DACs briefly
highlighted below.
The AD5428/AD5440/AD5447 devices are CMOS 8-, 10-, and
12-bit, current output, digital-to-analog converters (DACs).
They operate from a 2.5 V to 5.5 V power supply, making them
suited to battery-powered and other applications such as analog
processing, waveform generators, and programmable
attenuators.
On power-up, the internal register and latches are filled with 0s
and the DAC outputs are at zero scale.
As a result of manufacture on a CMOS submicron process, the
parts offer excellent 4-quadrant multiplication characteristics,
with large-signal multiplying bandwidths of up to 10 MHz.
The applied voltage reference determines the full-scale output
current. An integrated feedback resistor (R
FB
) provides
temperature tracking and full-scale voltage output when
combined with an external I-to-V precision amplifier.
Full data on the DACs is available in the AD5428/AD5440/AD5447
data sheet, which should be consulted in conjunction with this
data sheet when using the evaluation board.
