Rochester Electronics Data Acquisition - Digital to Analog Converters (DAC) AD8804ARUZ

The AD8804ARUZ is a 12-channel, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for applications requiring independent voltage outputs. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from +3 V to +5 V and features a 3-wire SPI compatible serial input for easy interfacing with microcontrollers. The device includes a power shutdown mode that reduces power consumption to less than 55 µW, making it suitable for battery-operated equipment. This DAC allows for the replacement of mechanical potentiometers in various applications, including video and audio equipment gain adjustments, and provides separate control of the top and bottom ends of the potentiometer divider through the V_REFH and V_REFL pins. The AD8804ARUZ is available in multiple package options, including a 20-lead TSSOP, which is beneficial for space-constrained designs. Its specifications include a settling time of 0.6 ms and a guaranteed monotonic output, ensuring reliable performance in precision applications.
