MX7225LCWG+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MX7225LCWG+ is a quad, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices under the Maxim Integrated brand. It features an R-2R resistor ladder architecture with integrated voltage-output amplifier latches for buffered analog signals. The device utilizes a parallel data interface and operates on dual power supplies ranging from -5 V to +16.5 V for both analog and digital domains. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 4 µs, differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB, and integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±0.5 LSB. It is housed in a 24-pin SOIC package and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters FAQ

What is the typical settling time for full-scale transitions?

The device achieves a settling time of 4 microseconds for full-scale output transitions.

Does the IC support single-supply operation?

No, the MX7225LCWG+ requires dual power supplies, specifically -5V and a positive rail between 11.4V and 16.5V.

How is the analog output driven?

Each channel includes an internal voltage-output amplifier latch that buffers the analog signal before it reaches the external pin.
