PM7226AFP

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The PM7226AFP is a quad, parallel-input, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Rochester Electronics. It features four independent DAC channels with integrated output amplifiers and a typical settling time of 3 microseconds. The device utilizes binary input coding and operates within an analog output voltage range of -5 V to +15 V. It is housed in a 20-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) with a 0.300-inch body width. The component supports operation across an extended temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Quad configuration with four 8-bit DACs and output amplifiers
• Parallel interface with 8-bit input loading
• 3 µs typical settling time
• Extended industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C)

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Process control systems
• Automatic test equipment
• System parameter calibration

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as the source data indicates non-compliance. Confirm the manufacturer designation, noting that Rochester Electronics often distributes surplus or discontinued parts originally designed by Analog Devices. Ensure the PDIP-20 package variant matches the specific application requirements for through-hole mounting.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-channel 8-bit resolution is required with parallel digital inputs. The 3 µs settling time suits moderate-speed applications. Verify power supply compatibility, as the device supports single-supply operation but requires voltages capable of driving the specified ±5 V to +15 V output range.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This part belongs to the AD7226 family of quad 8-bit DACs. While the original design is associated with Analog Devices, the PM7226AFP designation specifically identifies the version distributed by Rochester Electronics. It shares functional similarities with other members of the series, such as the AD7226KN, which offers a 4 µs settling time.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The AD7226KN is a verified substitute within the same functional family, offering identical quad 8-bit architecture. Note that the KN variant specifies a 4 µs settling time compared to the 3 µs typical value for the PM7226AFP.
