The AD561 is an integrated circuit 10-bit digital-to-analog converter combined with a high stability voltage reference fabricated on a single monolithic chip. Using ten precision high-speed current-steering switches, a control amplifier, voltage reference, and laser-trimmed thin-film SiCr resistor network, the device produces a fast, accurate analog output current. Laser trimmed output application resistors are also included to facilitate accurate, stable current-to-voltage conversion; they are trimmed to 0.1% accuracy, thus eliminating external trimmers in many situations. Several important technologies combine to make the AD561 the most accurate and most stable 10-bit DAC available. The low temperature coefficient, high stability thin-film network is trimmed at the wafer level by a fine resolution laser system to 0.01% typical linearity. This results in an accuracy specification of ±1/4 LSB max for the K and T versions, and 1/2 LSB max for the J and S versions. The AD561 also incorporates a low noise, high stability subsurface zener diode to produce a reference voltage with excellent long term stability and temperature cycle characteristics, which challenge the best discrete Zener references. A temperature compensation circuit is laser-trimmed to allow custom correction of the temperature coefficient of each device. This results in a typical full-scale temperature coefficient of 15 ppm/°C; the TC is tested and guaranteed to 30 ppm/°C max for the K and T versions, 60 ppm/°C max for the S, and 80 ppm/°C for the J. The AD561 is available in four performance grades. The AD561J and K are specified for use over the 0°C to +70°C temperature range and are available in either a 16-pin hermetically-sealed ceramic DIP or a 16-pin molded plastic DIP. The AD561S and T grades are specified for the -55°C to +125°C range and are available in the ceramic package.

The AD664 is four complete 12-bit, voltage-output digital-toanalog converters (DACs) on one monolithic IC chip. Each DAC has a double buffered input latch structure and a data readback function. All DAC read and write operations occur through a single microprocessor-compatible input/output (I/O) port.The I/O port accommodates 4-bit, 8-bit, or 12-bit parallel words allowing simple interfacing with a wide variety of microprocessors. A reset to zero control pin is provided to allow a user to simultaneously reset all DAC outputs to zero, regardless of the contents of the input latch. Any one or all of the DACs may be placed in a transparent mode allowing immediate response by the outputs to the input data.The analog portion of the AD664 consists of four DAC cells, four output amplifiers, a control amplifier, and switches. Each DAC cell is an inverting R-2R type. The output current from each DAC is switched to the on-board application resistors and output amplifier. The output range of each DAC cell is programmed through the digital input/output port and may be set to unipolar (UNI) or bipolar (BIP) range, with a gain of one or two times the reference voltage. All DACs are operated from a single external referenceThe functional completeness of the AD664 results from the combination of the Analog Devices, Inc., BiMOS II process, laser trimmed thin film resistors, and double level metal interconnects.

Built using a CBCMOS process, this monolithic DAC offers the user low cost, and ease-of-use in +5 volt only systems.Included on the chip, in addition to the DACs, are a rail-to-rail amplifier, latch and reference. The reference (VREF) is trimmed to 2.5 volts output, and the on-chip amplifier gains up the DAC output to 4.095 volts full scale. The user needs only supply a +5 volt supply.>/p>The AD8582 is coded natural binary. The op amp output swings from 0 volt to +4.095 volts for a one-millivolt-per-bit resolution, and is capable of driving ±5 mA. Operation down to 4.3 V is possible with output load currents less than 1 mA.The high speed parallel data interface connects to the fastest processors without wait states. The double-buffered input structure allows the user to load the input registers one at a time, then a single load strobe tied to both LDA + LDB inputs will update both DAC outputs simultaneously. LDA and LDB can also be activated independently to immediately update their respective DAC registers. An address input decodes DAC A or DAC B when the chip select CS input is strobed. An asynchronous reset input sets the output to zero scale. The MSB bit can be used to establish a preset to midscale when the reset input is strobed.The AD8582 is available in the 24-pin plastic DIP and the surface mount SOIC-24. Each part is fully specified for operation over -40°C to +85°C, and the full +5 V ±5% power supply range.
