Product Details
The AD5360 / AD5361 contain 16, 16-/14-bit DACs in a single 52-lead LQFP package. It provides buffered voltage outputs with a span four times the reference voltage. The gain and offset of each DAC can be independently trimmed to remove errors. For even greater flexibility, the device is divided into two groups of eight DACs, and the output range of each group can be independently adjusted by an offset DAC.
The AD5360 / AD5361 offer guaranteed operation over a wide supply range with VSS from −4.5 V to −16.5 V and VDD from +8 V to +16.5 V. The output amplifier headroom requirement is 1.4 V operating with a load current of 1 mA.
The AD5360 / AD5361 have a high speed 4-wire serial interface, which is compatible with SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards and can handle clock speeds of up to 50 MHz. All the outputs can be updated simultaneously by taking the LDAC input low. Each channel has a programmable gain and an offset adjust register.
Each DAC output is amplified and buffered on-chip with respect to an external SIGGND input. The DAC outputs can also be switched to SIGGND via the CLR pin.

Precision DAC Error Budget Tool
The Precision DAC Error Budget Tool is a web application that calculates the DC Accuracy of precision DAC signal chains. It shows how the static errors accumulate throughout your signal chain to quickly evaluate the design tradeoffs. Calculations include the DC errors introduced by Voltage References, Operation Amplifiers and Precision DACs.
