Quad, 12-Bit, Serial Input,
Unipolar/Bipolar, Voltage Output DAC
AD5726
Bipolar outputs are configured by connecting both VREFP and
VREFN to nonzero voltages. This method of setting output voltage
ranges has advantages over the bipolar offsetting methods
because it is not dependent on internal and external resistors
with different temperature coefficients.
FEATURES
+5 V to 15 V operation
Unipolar or bipolar operation
1 ꢀSB maximum INꢀ error, 1 ꢀSB maximum DNꢀ error
Guaranteed monotonic over temperature
Double-buffered inputs
Simultaneous updating via ꢀDAC
Asynchronous CꢀR to zero scale/midscale
Operating temperature range: −40°C to +125°C
iCMOS® process technology1
The AD5726 uses a serial interface that operates at clock rates up to
30 MHz and is compatible with DꢀP and microcontroller interface
standards. Double buffering allows simultaneous updating of all
CLR
DACs. The asynchronous
function clears all DAC registers
to a user-selectable, zero-scale or midscale output.
The AD5726 is available in 16-lead ꢀꢀOP and 16-lead ꢀOIC
packages. It can be operated from a wide variety of supply and
reference voltages with supplies ranging from single +5 V to
15 V, and references ranging from +2.5 V to 10 V. Power
dissipation is less than 240 mW with 15 V supplies and only
30 mW with a +5 V supply. Operation is specified over the
temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
APPꢀICATIONS
Industrial automation
Closed-loop servo control, process control
Automotive test and measurement

GENERAꢀ DESCRIPTION
The AD5726 is a quad, 12-bit, serial input, voltage output
digital-to analog converter that offers guaranteed monotonicity
and integral nonlinearity (INL) of 1 LꢀB maximum.

Description
AD5725
Quad, 12-bit, parallel input,
Output voltage swing is set by two reference inputs, VREFP and
unipolar/bipolar, voltage output DAC.
AD5724R/AD5734R/ Complete, quad, 12-/14-/16-bit, serial
VREFN. The DAC offers a unipolar positive output range when
the VREFN input is set to 0 V and the VREFP input is set to a positive
voltage. A similar configuration with VREFP at 0 V and VREFN at a
negative voltage provides a unipolar negative output range.
AD5754R

DAC with internal reference.
AD5722R/AD5732R/ Complete, dual, 12-/14-/16-bit, serial
AD5752R
