Product details
Overview
5962-8770101RA from Analog Devices is a military-grade monolithic dual 8-bit buffered multiplying DAC with matched DAC-to-DAC performance (±1% gain matching), four-quadrant multiplication capability, and TTL/CMOS-compatible digital interface. It operates from +5 V to +15 V, dissipates only 20 mW, and is used in precision analog control loops for stereo audio attenuation, programmable filter tuning, and X-Y graphics coordinate generation.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8770101RA datasheet, 5962-8770101RA pinout, 5962-8770101RA application, or 5962-8770101RA equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), exact package mapping (Q-20 cerdip), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for MIL-STD-883B-compliant designs.
Technical Context
The 5962-8770101RA integrates two identical 8-bit R-2R ladder DACs on a single die, each with independent reference inputs (VREFA/VREFB) and feedback resistors (RFB A/RFB B), enabling true four-quadrant multiplication. Its on-chip latches support direct microprocessor interfacing with 6800-, 8080-, 8085-, and Z80-compatible timing.
It features matched CMOS switching architecture ensuring inherent DAC A/DAC B tracking over temperature, ±0.0035%/°C gain TC (max), and channel-to-channel isolation of –77 dB at 100 kHz - critical for simultaneous dual-channel analog signal synthesis without crosstalk-induced distortion.

Pinout & Package
5962-8770101RA is housed in a 20-lead cerdip (Q-20) package with side-brazed ceramic construction, hermetically sealed for high-reliability military environments. Pin 1 is identified by dot or notch; leads are solder- or tin-plated Kovar or Alloy 42.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VREFA (Pin 1) | DAC A reference input | Accepts ±25 V input; sets full-scale output range and polarity for DAC A; matched to VREFB within ±1% |
| DGND (Pin 2) | Digital ground | Reference for all digital inputs (DB0–DB7, CS, WR, DAC A/B); must be tied to AGND at device for noise control |
| DAC A/DAC B (Pin 3) | DAC selection control | Active-low logic selects which DAC latch accepts data from shared DB0–DB7 bus during write cycle |
| DB7 (Pin 4) | Data bus MSB | Most significant bit of 8-bit parallel input; TTL/CMOS compatible; 10 pF max input capacitance |
| DB6 (Pin 5) | Data bus bit 6 | Part of common 8-bit input port shared by both DACs; latched only when corresponding DAC is selected |
| VREFB (Pin 6) | DAC B reference input | Independent ±25 V reference for DAC B; matched impedance and TC to VREFA ensures tracking |
| VDD (Pin 7) | Positive supply | +5 V to +15 V operation; powers digital logic and analog circuitry; 2 mA max IDD at +5 V |
| WR (Pin 8) | Write strobe | Active-low control enabling transparent latch mode when CS = low; defines write pulsewidth (≥60 ns min) |
| CS (Pin 9) | Chip select | Active-low enable for write operations; combined with WR and DAC A/B determines operating mode per Mode Selection Table |
| DB0 (Pin 10) | Data bus LSB | Least significant bit; completes 8-bit parallel interface; same timing and voltage specs as DB7 |
| RFB A (Pin 11) | DAC A feedback resistor terminal | Connects external RFB to configure output current-to-voltage conversion; internal RFB available |
| OUT A (Pin 12) | DAC A analog current output | Unbuffered current source/sink; requires external op amp (e.g., AD644) for voltage output; 50–120 pF COUT |
| AGND (Pin 13) | Analog ground | Common return for both DAC outputs and reference inputs; must be tied to DGND at package for minimal noise |
| OUT B (Pin 14) | DAC B analog current output | Functionally identical to OUT A; channel-to-channel isolation >77 dB prevents mutual interference |
| RFB B (Pin 15) | DAC B feedback resistor terminal | Independent RFB connection point; allows separate gain scaling for DAC B vs. DAC A |
| DB5 (Pin 16) | Data bus bit 5 | Mid-range data bit; no special timing or loading requirements beyond general DB0–DB7 spec |
| DB4 (Pin 17) | Data bus bit 4 | Part of shared data path; input leakage <±1 µA ensures stable latch behavior under floating conditions |

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum reference voltage rating for the 5962-8770101RA?
The 5962-8770101RA supports ±25 V on both VREFA and VREFB pins relative to AGND, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage to the internal R-2R ladder network and switch transistors. For four-quadrant operation, ensure reference sources comply with this limit and maintain proper grounding between AGND and DGND.
Does the 5962-8770101RA require external op amps for voltage output?
Yes, the 5962-8770101RA provides current-output (IOUT) from OUT A and OUT B pins and requires external operational amplifiers - such as the AD644 recommended in the datasheet - configured as current-to-voltage converters. The RFB A and RFB B pins connect to the amplifier's feedback network to set gain and polarity.
How is DAC selection implemented on the 5962-8770101RA?
DAC selection on the 5962-8770101RA is controlled by the DAC A/DAC B pin (Pin 3): logic low selects DAC A, logic high selects DAC B. When combined with active-low CS and WR signals per the Mode Selection Table, this enables independent loading of each 8-bit latch using the shared DB0–DB7 data bus.
What is the guaranteed monotonicity performance of the 5962-8770101RA?
The 5962-8770101RA guarantees monotonic operation across its full temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) with differential nonlinearity (DNL) of ±1 LSB max. This ensures that every incremental code change produces a non-decreasing analog output, preventing glitches or skipped codes in closed-loop control systems.
Can the 5962-8770101RA operate from a single +5 V supply?
Yes, the 5962-8770101RA operates from +5 V to +15 V VDD. At +5 V, digital inputs are TTL-compatible (VIH = 2.4 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), enabling direct interface with 5 V microcontrollers. Power dissipation remains low at 2 mA typical IDD, making it suitable for low-power embedded military systems.
