Product Details
The AD5512A / AD5542A are single, 12-/16-bit, serial input, unbuffered voltage output digital-to-analog converters (DAC) that operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply. The DAC output range extends from 0 V to VREF and is guaranteed monotonic, providing 1 LSB INL accuracy at 16 bits without adjustment over the full specified temperature range of −40°C to +85°C (AD5542A) or −40°C to +125°C (AD5512A).
Offering unbuffered outputs, the AD5512A / AD5542A achieve a 1 μs settling time with low offset errors ideal for high speed open loop control.
The AD5512A / AD5542A incorporate a bipolar mode of operation that generates a ±VREF output swing. The AD5512A / AD5542A also include Kelvin sense connections for the reference and analog ground pins to reduce layout sensitivity.
The AD5512A / AD5542A are available in a 16-lead LFCSP with the AD5542A also available in a 10-lead LFCSP and a 16-lead TSSOP. The AD5512A / AD5542A use a versatile 3-wire interface that is compatible with 50 MHz SPI, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards.

Tools & Simulations
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.
