MX7245JN+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MX7245JN+ is a complete, single-channel, 12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Analog Devices under the Maxim Integrated brand. It utilizes an R-2R resistor ladder architecture and features an internal reference source. The device operates with analog and digital supply voltages ranging from 11.4 V to 15.75 V. Key performance metrics include a settling time of 5 µs, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB, differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB, and a gain error of 0.6% FSR. Power dissipation is rated at 450 mW. It employs a parallel interface and is housed in a 24-pin narrow PDIP package suitable for through-hole mounting.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Integrates a buffered voltage output stage with an internal reference for simplified system design.
• Provides high accuracy with specified INL and DNL performance of ±1 LSB.
• Features fast settling time of 5 µs for rapid signal updates.
• Supports standard parallel data interfaces for straightforward microcontroller integration.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring precise analog signal generation.
• Programmable power supplies needing stable voltage references.
• Data acquisition systems utilizing DACPORT-compatible architectures.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific suffix variations against official datasheets prior to ordering. Ensure packaging integrity matches requirements for through-hole assembly processes. Cross-reference part numbers carefully as legacy Maxim products may have multiple sourcing channels with varying documentation versions.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel, 12-bit resolution with buffered voltage output is required. The internal reference eliminates the need for external precision voltage sources. Verify that the parallel interface timing aligns with the host controller capabilities. Consider the 24-PDIP package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management given the 450 mW power dissipation rating.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the MX7245 series within the DACPORT product family. It serves as a monolithic solution for applications demanding moderate speed and high accuracy. The JN+ suffix indicates a lead-free, RoHS-compliant variant in a narrow DIP package. It complements other components in industrial signal chains where reliable analog conversion is critical.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The AD7245JNZ is a verified equivalent part number offering identical specifications and pinout compatibility. Both devices share the same 12-bit resolution, buffered output architecture, and PDIP-24 package configuration. Verify operational temperature ranges and supply voltage tolerances match specific application requirements before substitution.
