AD768ARZ

The AD768ARZ is a 16-bit high speed Digital-to-analog Converter (DAC) offers exceptional AC and DC performance. The AD768 is manufactured on ADIs advanced bipolar CMOS process, combining the speed of bipolar transistors, the accuracy of laser-trimmable thin film resistors and the efficiency of CMOS logic. Segmented current source architecture is combined with a proprietary switching technique to reduce glitch energy and maximize dynamic accuracy. Edge triggered input latches and temperature compensated band-gap reference have been integrated to provide a complete monolithic DAC solution. The AD768 is a current-output DAC with a nominal full-scale output current of 20mA and a 1kR output impedance. Differential current outputs are provided to support single-ended or differential applications. The current outputs may be tied directly to an output resistor to provide a voltage output or fed to the summing junction of a high speed amplifier to provide a buffered voltage output.
