MX7545ALN+

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The MX7545ALN+ is a CMOS 12-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features an R-2R resistor ladder architecture with parallel data loading and unbuffered current outputs. The device operates on dual power supplies, accepting analog and digital voltages between 5V and 15V. Key performance specifications include a settling time of 1 microsecond, integral nonlinearity (INL) of ±1 LSB, and differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±0.5 LSB maximum. It is housed in a 20-pin DIP package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• CMOS technology enables low power consumption while maintaining high-speed conversion capabilities.
• Multiplying architecture allows the reference voltage to function as a signal input for variable gain applications.
• Parallel interface simplifies integration with standard microprocessors and logic systems.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LN+' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding pin assignments and thermal requirements before procurement.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-bit resolution with multiplying functionality is required in a through-hole DIP package. Compare settling times and linearity specifications against alternative DACs if higher speed or buffered outputs are necessary for the target application.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the MX7545 family of precision DACs. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the MX7545LP+ but differs in packaging and potentially extended temperature ranges. It serves as a legacy option for designs requiring robust, high-precision analog control.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include MX7545AKN#PBF and LTC7545AKN#PBF, which offer similar electrical characteristics in comparable packages. Verify pinout compatibility and software register configurations when migrating to these alternatives.
