Product details
Overview
AD7245AARZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with integrated output amplifier and on-chip 5 V buried Zener reference. It supports unipolar (0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V) and bipolar (±5 V) output ranges, operates from +12 V to +15 V (VDD) and –12 V to –15 V (VSS), delivers ±1/2 LSB linearity (B-grade), and features parallel 12-bit loading with CS/WR control and asynchronous LDAC update - used in precision industrial control loops, automated test equipment, and programmable power supply setpoints.
For engineers reviewing the AD7245AARZ-REEL datasheet, AD7245AARZ-REEL pinout, AD7245AARZ-REEL application, or AD7245AARZ-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-chip DACPORT® integration, ±1/2 LSB relative accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, 7 µs full-scale settling time, 65 mW typical power dissipation, and SOIC-24 package compatibility with legacy AD7245 designs.
Technical Context
The AD7245AARZ-REEL implements a voltage-mode R–2R ladder DAC architecture with twelve high-speed NMOS switches, buffered by a noninverting CMOS output amplifier capable of driving 10 V into a 2 kΩ load. Its on-chip 5 V Zener reference is temperature-compensated (±25 ppm/°C typ) and decoupled via internal buffering for low-noise operation (25 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz).
Digital interface logic uses level-triggered, TTL/CMOS-compatible control signals: CS and WR load 12-bit parallel data into the input latch on WR's rising edge; LDAC asynchronously transfers data to the DAC latch; CLR resets the DAC latch to all 0s. The device achieves monotonicity (±1 LSB DNL) and supports dual-supply operation for true bipolar output swing without external components.

Pinout & Package
AD7245AARZ-REEL is housed in a 24-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, 0.3" wide, RoHS-compliant, with gull-wing leads and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3. Pin numbering follows standard SOIC convention with Pin 1 indicator notch or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSS | Negative supply rail | Accepts 0 V (single supply) or –12 V to –15 V (dual supply); sets lower bound of output range |
| ROFS | Bipolar offset resistor tap | Connects to AGND or REF OUT to configure 0–5 V, 0–10 V, or ±5 V output ranges |
| REF OUT | Buffered Zener reference output | Provides 5 V ±10 mV reference for external circuitry or bipolar configuration |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Must be isolated from DGND to minimize noise coupling into DAC core |

| CS | Chip select (active low) | Enables input latch; must be low with WR to load data - critical for microprocessor interfacing |
| WR | Write strobe (active low) | Latches DB11–DB0 on rising edge; timing-critical for 30 ns setup (typ) compliance |
| LDAC | Load DAC (active low) | Asynchronously transfers data from input latch to DAC latch - enables synchronized multi-DAC updates |
| CLR | Clear DAC latch (active low) | Resets DAC latch to all 0s; used for power-on reset or calibration zero-override |
| VDD | Positive supply rail | +12 V to +15 V operation; supplies DAC core, reference, and output amplifier |
| RFB | Amplifier feedback node | External connection point for gain-setting; tied to VOUT in standard 0–10 V configuration |
| VOUT | Analog voltage output | Delivers final scaled output; capable of sourcing/sinking 2.5 mA into 2 kΩ load |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DAC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7392ARZ | 12-bit, serial SPI interface; no integrated reference; requires external 2.5 V ref; 10 µs settling | Lacks on-chip reference and parallel interface - unsuitable for direct microprocessor bus attachment | Select AD7392ARZ only when board space is constrained and SPI control is preferred over parallel |
| MAX538BCPE+ | 12-bit, parallel interface; external reference required; ±1 LSB linearity; 10 µs settling; 20-pin PDIP | No internal reference or output amplifier - demands external op-amp and precision ref IC | Choose MAX538BCPE+ only if cost sensitivity outweighs design simplicity and long-term stability requirements |
Compared with AD7245AARZ-REEL, AD7392ARZ trades integrated functionality for serial interface flexibility, while MAX538BCPE+ increases system complexity with external reference and amplification - making AD7245AARZ-REEL the optimal choice for space-constrained, high-accuracy, microprocessor-connected DAC applications requiring minimal external components.

FAQ
What output voltage ranges does the AD7245AARZ-REEL support?
The AD7245AARZ-REEL supports three configurable output ranges: 0 V to 5 V, 0 V to 10 V, and ±5 V. Selection is achieved via external connections to ROFS and REF OUT pins. For 0–10 V operation, ROFS is tied to AGND and RFB to VOUT; for ±5 V, ROFS connects to REF OUT and VSS is set to –12 V to –15 V. All configurations use the same AD7245AARZ-REEL device without hardware variants.
Does the AD7245AARZ-REEL require external calibration or trimming?
No, the AD7245AARZ-REEL requires no external user trims to achieve full specified performance. Its on-chip 5 V buried Zener reference is factory-trimmed for absolute accuracy and temperature coefficient, and the R–2R DAC ladder and output amplifier are laser-trimmed during production. Full 12-bit linearity and gain accuracy are guaranteed over temperature with only the AD7245AARZ-REEL installed.
How does the CLR pin function in the AD7245AARZ-REEL?
The CLR (Clear) pin on the AD7245AARZ-REEL is an active-low signal that resets the DAC latch contents to all 0s. When asserted, it forces VOUT to 0 V in unipolar mode or –5 V in bipolar mode. It supports both zero-override during operation and power-on reset functionality. In latched mode, CLR permanently loads zeros into the DAC latch; in transparent mode, it acts as a momentary output override - a key feature implemented directly in the AD7245AARZ-REEL silicon.
Can the AD7245AARZ-REEL operate from a single +15 V supply?
Yes, the AD7245AARZ-REEL can operate from a single +15 V supply with VSS = 0 V (AGND). In this configuration, it delivers unipolar outputs of 0 V to 5 V or 0 V to 10 V. However, the output cannot go below 0 V due to the grounded negative rail; for true bipolar operation (–5 V to +5 V), a dual supply (e.g., VDD = +15 V, VSS = –15 V) is required. This behavior is inherent to the AD7245AARZ-REEL's architecture.
What is the purpose of the RFB pin on the AD7245AARZ-REEL?
The RFB (Feedback Resistor) pin on the AD7245AARZ-REEL provides access to the internal output amplifier's feedback node. In standard 0–10 V configuration, RFB is connected directly to VOUT to set unity gain for the 2× reference scaling. It enables external gain adjustment or compensation network insertion - a design flexibility built into the AD7245AARZ-REEL's monolithic amplifier stage, unlike DACs requiring fully external op-amps.
