The AD7304/AD7305 are quad, 8-bit DACs that operate from a
single +3 V to +5 V supply or 5 V supplies. The AD7304 has a
serial interface, while the AD7305 has a parallel interface. Inter-
nal precision buffers swing rail-to-rail. The reference input range
includes both supply rails allowing for positive or negative full-
scale output voltages. Operation is guaranteed over the supply
voltage range of +2.7 V to +5.5 V, consuming less than 9 mW
from a +3 V supply.

The full-scale voltage output is determined by the external refer-

DD, the negative supply VSS or any value in between.
An internal power ON reset places both parts in the zero-scale
state at turn ON. A 40 µA power shutdown (SHDN) feature is
activated on both parts by tristating the SDI/SHDN pin on the
AD7304, and tristating the A0/SHDN address pin on the
AD7305.
The AD7304’s doubled-buffered serial-data interface offers high
speed, three-wire, SPI and microcontroller compatible inputs
using data in (SDI), clock (CLK) and chip select (CS) pins.
Additionally, an internal power-on reset sets the output to zero
scale.
The AD7304/AD7305 are specified over the extended industrial
(–40°C to +85°C), and the automotive (–40°C to +125°C)
temperature ranges. AD7304s are available in 16-lead plastic
DIP (N-16), and wide-body SOL-16 (R-16) packages. The
parallel input AD7305 is available in the 20-lead plastic DIP
(N-20), and the SOL-20 (R-20) surface mount package. For
ultracompact applications the thin 1.1 mm TSSOP-16 (RU-16)
package will be available for the AD7304, while the TSSOP-20
(RU-20) will house the AD7305.
The parallel input AD7305 uses a standard address decode
along with the WR control line to load data into the input regis-
ters. The double buffered architecture allows all four input
registers to be preloaded with new values, followed by a LDAC
control strobe which copies all the new data into the DAC regis-
ters thereby updating the analog output values. When operating
from less than +5.5 V, the AD7305 is pin-compatible with the
popular industry standard AD7226.
