AK4424AET

ADCs/DACs - Special Purpose Overview

The AK4424AET is a single-function digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Asahi Kasei Microdevices. It features a 24-bit resolution and accepts serial input data in two's complement binary format via an interface compliant with JESD-30 standards. The device operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +85°C and is designed for a nominal supply voltage of 5V. It is housed in a lead-free, plastic TSSOP-16 package with a 0.65 mm pitch, measuring 6.40 x 5 mm with a maximum seated height of 1.1 mm.
