Overview
The AD5541AR, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a single, 16-bit, serial input, voltage output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed for a wide range of applications. It operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, making it versatile for various power environments. The DAC output range extends from 0 V to VREF and is guaranteed monotonic, providing ±1 LSB INL accuracy at 16 bits without adjustment over the full specified temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
