The AD7524 is a low cost, 8-bit, monolithic CMOS DAC designed to interface directly with most
microprocessors.
The AD7524 is basically an 8-bit DAC with input latches with a load cycle similar to the "write" cycle of a random access memory. It is fabricated using an advanced CMOS thin-film process that provides 1/8 LSB accuracy with a typical power consumption of less than 10 mW.
The newly improved design eliminates the need for Schottky diode protection and guarantees TTL compatibility with a +5 power supply. The loading speed has also been improved and is compatible with most microprocessors.
The AD7524 operates from a +5V to +15V supply and can interface directly to most microprocessor buses or output ports.
The AD7524 has excellent multiplication characteristics (two- or four-quadrant), making it ideal for many microprocessor-controlled gain setting and signal control applications.
