Analog Devices expands d/a converter portfolio

The company claims that the new AD5686/96 nanoDAC+ quad d/a converters offer the industry's best dc performance in the smallest package, with a 3 x 3mm footprint and SPI or I²C interface options. INL is 2LSB max, offset error is 1.5mV max and gain error is 0.1% max. The devices are targeted at applications such as programmable logic controller, I/O cards, digital oscilloscopes, signal generators and optical modules that require low power, rail to rail, single supply d/a converters. ADI has also introduced the AD5316R and AD5317R quad 10bit nanoDACs, which are designed to offer similar performance to the AD5686/96. These d/a converters were developed to provide flexibility in terms of DAC output range and to meet the needs of cost sensitive applications with limited board space.
