The AD7546 16-bit microprocessor-compactible monolithic d/a converter, a voltage-output device designed to provide 16-bit resolution at high-speed—with low power consumption and cost—in a 40-pin DIP package, was introduced in Analog Dialogue 16-1, page 6. The plastic AD7546KN and the ceramic AD7546BD provide 65,536 monotomic output levels, in response to 16-bit binary inputs, for respective temperature ranges of 0°C to 70°C and –25°C to +85°C.
