Overview
The AD569KN is a 16-bit monolithic digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. using their BiMOS II process. This process allows for the integration of low power CMOS logic functions and high precision bipolar linear circuitry on the same chip. The AD569KN features a voltage-segmented architecture that ensures 16-bit monotonicity over time and temperature, making it suitable for high-accuracy applications. The device includes two resistor strings, selector switches, decoding logic, buffer amplifiers, and double-buffered input latches. It is available in various package options, including 28-pin plastic DIP and ceramic DIP packages, and is specified for operation over a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.
