AD8582

The AD8582 is a complete, parallel input, dual 12-bit, voltage output DAC designed to operate from a single +5 volt supply. 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 (V_REF) 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.
