Rochester Electronics Data Acquisition - Digital to Analog Converters (DAC) AD8522JRU

The AD8522JRU is a dual 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for single-supply operation at +5 V. It features a complete monolithic design with no external components required for optimal performance. The device provides buffered voltage outputs with a full-scale output of 4.095 V, offering a resolution of 1 mV per least significant bit (LSB). This DAC is fabricated using a CBCMOS process and includes a serial digital interface that allows for easy integration with various microcontrollers. The device supports a simple three-wire data, clock, and load strobe format, facilitating straightforward communication. It also includes an onboard reference and a 2.5 V reference output for additional data acquisition applications. The AD8522JRU is suitable for a range of applications, including digitally controlled calibration, servo controls, process control equipment, and portable instrumentation. It is available in both 14-pin plastic DIP and low-profile SOIC-14 packages, making it a compact solution for space-constrained designs. The device operates with low power consumption, drawing approximately 5 mW per DAC.
