MX7226KP+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MX7226KP+ is a quad, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It utilizes an R-2R resistor ladder architecture and features buffered voltage outputs for each channel. The device operates with a parallel data interface and requires external reference inputs. It supports dual power supplies ranging from -5V to +11.4V–16.5V for analog and digital sections. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 4µs, differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB, and integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB. It functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is housed in a 20-pin PLCC package.
