MX7524JN

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MX7524JN+ is an 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from the MX7524 series, manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. It features a single channel with R-2R architecture and parallel interface. The device provides unbuffered current output and achieves a settling time of 400 ns. Differential nonlinearity is specified at +/- 1 LSB, while integral nonlinearity is +/- 0.5 LSB. It operates on analog and digital supply voltages ranging from 5 V to 15 V within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The component is housed in a 16-pin narrow PDIP package for through-hole mounting.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix JN+ indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS adherence when sourcing. Confirm the manufacturer designation as Analog Devices Inc. or Maxim Integrated to ensure authenticity. Check datasheet revisions for any updates regarding pin compatibility or electrical characteristics relative to earlier MX7524 variants without the plus sign.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit resolution with moderate speed is sufficient for the application. Consider the unbuffered current output requirement for external circuit design. Evaluate the parallel interface needs against available microcontroller GPIO lines. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the system's 5 V to 15 V supply capabilities.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MX7524 family of precision DACs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the MX7523 but differs in output type and performance metrics. The JN suffix specifically denotes the plastic dual in-line package variant designed for through-hole PCB assembly techniques common in prototyping and industrial enclosures.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other MX7524 series variants such as MX7524KESE+ for surface mount applications. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting with different package types. Cross-reference specifications with newer generations if improved linearity or speed is required.
