● Separate reference input for each DAC
● Microprocessor compatible with double-buffered inputs
● Simultaneous update of all 4 outputs
● Operates with single or dual supplies
● Extended temperature range operation
● No user trims required
● Skinny 24-lead PDIP, CERDIP, SOIC, and SSOP packages
● 28-lead PLCC package
●PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
●1\. DACs and Amplifiers on CMOS Chip.
● The single-chip design of four 8-bit DACs and amplifiers allows a dramatic reduction in board space requirements and offers increased reliability in systems using multiple converters. Its pinout is aimed at optimizing board layout with all analog inputs and outputs at one end of the package and all digital inputs at the other. 2. Single- or Dual-Supply Operation. The voltage-mode configuration of the AD7225 allows single-supply operation. The part can also be operated with dual supplies, giving enhanced performance for some parameters.
●3\. Versatile Interface Logic.
● The AD7225 has a common 8-bit data bus with individual DAC latches, providing a versatile control architecture for simple interface to microprocessors. The double-buffered interface allows simultaneous update of the four outputs.
●4\. Separate Reference Input for Each DAC.
● The AD7225 offers great flexibility in dealing with input signals, with a separate reference input provided for each DAC and each reference having variable input voltage capability.
