Digital Potentiometers (DigiPOT)

Analog Devices portfolio of digital potentiometers provide uncompromising performance across a wide range of industrial temperatures. Sometimes called digital pots, RDACs, or digiPOTs, these compact devices can be used to calibrate system tolerances or dynamically control system parameters. DigiPOTs such as the AD5123 and AD5143 offer a nonvolative solution for 128-position/256-position adjustment applications, with low resistor tolerance and the low temperature coefficient simplifying open-loop applications and those that require tolerance matching.

High Speed D/A Converters ≥30MSPS

ADI high speed (≥30MSPS) DA converters include wideband radio frequency, intermediate frequency signal processing, and general-purpose baseband classes. These products are employed in wired and wireless communications, instrumentation, radar, electronic warfare, and other applications. Our portfolio of high speed DACs range from 30 MSPS to multi-GSPS with resolutions ranging from 8 bits to 16 bits. Our DACs are fully supported with complete data sheets and evaluation boards to reduce time to market and system design costs. These DACs are recommended for use with ADI’s clocking and timing products, as well as RF products and power management.
