The AD5744/64 is a quad, 14/16-bit serial input, voltage output digital-to analog converter that operates from supply voltages of ±12 V up to ±15 V. Nominal full-scale output range is ±10 V, provided are integrated output amplifiers, reference buffers, internal reference, and proprietary power-up/power-down control circuitry. It also features a digital I/O port that may be programmed via the serial interface, and an analog temperature sensor. The part incorporates digital offset and gain adjust registers per channel. The AD5744/64 is a high performance converter that offers guaranteed monotonicity, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB, low noise and 10 μs settling time and includes an on-chip 5 V reference with a reference tempco of 10 ppm/°C max. During power-up (when the supply voltages are changing), Vout is clamped to 0V via a low impedance path. The AD5744/64 uses a serial interface that operates at clock rates of up to 30 MHz and is compatible with DSP and microcontroller interface standards. Double buffering allows the simultaneous updating of all DACs. The input coding is programmable to either twos complement or Offset binary formats. The asynchronous clear function clears all DAC registers to either bipolar zero or zero-scale depending on the coding used. The AD5744/64 is ideal for both closed-loop servo control and open-loop control applications. The AD5744/64 is available in a 32-lead TQFP package, and offers guaranteed specifications over the −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. See functional block diagram, Figure 1.
