Overview
The AD7628KP-REEL, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a monolithic dual 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) known for its excellent DAC-to-DAC matching. This device is available in various packages, including 20-pin DIP, 20-terminal surface mount packages, and 20-lead PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier).
The AD7628 features two identical 8-bit multiplying DACs, each consisting of a highly stable thin film R-2R ladder and eight N-channel current steering switches. This design ensures fixed currents in each ladder leg, independent of the switch state, and provides four-quadrant multiplication characteristics.
