Rochester Electronics Data Acquisition - Digital to Analog Converters (DAC) AD7846KPZ

The AD7846KPZ is a 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for high accuracy and low power consumption, typically operating at 100 mW. It features guaranteed monotonicity over temperature, making it suitable for closed-loop applications. The device supports both unipolar and bipolar output configurations, with output ranges of 0 V to +10 V or ±10 V, depending on the reference voltage settings. The DAC utilizes a segmented architecture that ensures excellent integral linearity and includes a comprehensive microprocessor interface with 16 data I/O pins and control lines for readback capability. This readback function is particularly beneficial in automated test equipment (ATE) applications, allowing for efficient monitoring of the DAC register contents. The AD7846KPZ is available in a 28-lead plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package, making it suitable for various applications requiring precise analog output.
