MX7528SD

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MX7528SD is a dual-channel, 8-bit CMOS digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. and Maxim Integrated. It features an R-2R resistor ladder architecture with internal buffering for current outputs. The device supports parallel data interfaces and external reference inputs. It operates on analog and digital supply voltages ranging from 5V to 15V. Key performance specifications include a settling time of 400ns, integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB maximum. The component is housed in a 20-pin SOIC surface-mount package and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SD' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the exact package type and tape-and-reel configuration. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before ordering.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel, low-cost, 8-bit resolution is required for applications involving programmable voltage or current sources. The internal buffering simplifies circuit design by eliminating the need for external operational amplifiers for basic current output. Consider the parallel interface requirement and the 5V to 15V supply range compatibility with your system logic levels.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The MX7528 series belongs to a family of CMOS multiplying digital-to-analog converters designed for cost-effective data acquisition systems. It serves as a functional equivalent to the AD7528 series, offering similar specifications under different branding due to the merger of Analog Devices and Maxim Integrated. The SD variant specifically denotes the surface-mount packaging option suitable for automated assembly processes.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The AD7528CQ and AD7528JRZ are documented equivalents within the same product family. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter tolerances before substitution. Check for any differences in operating temperature ranges or package dimensions between the original MX7528SD and potential replacement parts.
