Product details
Overview
AD7303BRM-REEL from Analog Devices is a dual 8-bit parallel-input voltage-output DAC operating from a single +2.7 V to +5.5 V supply, featuring rail-to-rail buffered outputs, internal/external reference selection, and power-down mode consuming ≤1 µA at 25°C. It delivers 2 µs max settling time, ±1 LSB relative accuracy, and simultaneous DAC update via LDAC - used in portable instrumentation for programmable gain/offset calibration.
For engineers reviewing the AD7303BRM-REEL datasheet, AD7303BRM-REEL pinout, AD7303BRM-REEL application, or AD7303BRM-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel 8-bit resolution, TSSOP-20 package compatibility, 2.7–5.5 V single-supply operation, rail-to-rail output swing, and support for both internal (VDD/2) and external (1.0 V to VDD/2) reference sources.
Technical Context
The AD7303BRM-REEL implements a current-source DAC architecture followed by an on-chip I/V converter with gain of 2, enabling 0 V to VDD output range. Its double-buffered parallel interface supports two update modes: automatic (LDAC tied low) and simultaneous (LDAC-controlled), with register-level control via CS, WR, A/B, and CLR signals.
Reference selection is handled by an internal comparator that switches between VDD/2 and external REFIN based on voltage threshold (~1 V below VDD). Power-down is asserted via active-low PD pin, disabling bias loops and output amplifiers while preserving register contents and yielding 13 µs wake-up time.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 8-bit voltage-output DAC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7302BRUZ-REEL | Same architecture and pinout; identical TSSOP-20 package and electrical specs; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging suffix (-REEL vs -REEL7) | No functional difference; both support same reference modes, power-down, and timing | Select AD7303BRM-REEL when sourcing from distributors specifying RU-20 package with M suffix (moisture-sensitive level 3) |
| MAX522EUA+ | Single-supply dual 8-bit DAC in 8-pin µMAX; lacks LDAC, CLR, and internal reference; requires external op-amps for rail-to-rail output | Lower pin count but higher BOM cost and board area due to external components; no simultaneous update capability | Choose AD7303BRM-REEL when simultaneous channel update, integrated buffers, or internal reference are required |
Compared with AD7302BRUZ-REEL, AD7303BRM-REEL offers identical functionality with verified moisture-sensitivity compliance for automated assembly; versus MAX522EUA+, it delivers lower system-level complexity through integrated buffers, reference selection, and dual-channel synchronization - reducing layout risk and calibration overhead.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AD7303BRM-REEL?
The AD7303BRM-REEL is rated for –40°C to +105°C, matching the B-grade specification defined in the AD7302/AD7303 datasheet. This industrial temperature range is validated across all electrical parameters including relative accuracy (±1 LSB), power consumption, and settling time, making AD7303BRM-REEL suitable for harsh-environment embedded applications without derating.
Does the AD7303BRM-REEL support simultaneous updating of both DAC outputs?
Yes, the AD7303BRM-REEL supports simultaneous updating via the LDAC pin: when LDAC is taken low asynchronously, both DAC A and DAC B outputs update together with the contents of their respective DAC registers. This feature is essential for coordinated analog signal generation and is confirmed in the functional block diagram and timing specifications of the AD7303BRM-REEL datasheet.
Can the AD7303BRM-REEL operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the AD7303BRM-REEL operates from +2.7 V to +5.5 V, fully supporting 3.3 V nominal systems. At VDD = 3.3 V, typical supply current is 2.3 mA (both DACs active), and power-down current remains ≤1 µA. The internal VDD/2 reference yields 1.65 V, producing 0–3.3 V output range - verified in Figures 6 and 7 of the AD7303BRM-REEL datasheet.
What is the maximum capacitive load the AD7303BRM-REEL output can drive?
The AD7303BRM-REEL output buffer is characterized for a load of 10 kΩ || 100 pF to VDD and GND, with 2 µs max settling time and 7.5 V/µs slew rate. Driving heavier capacitive loads (>100 pF) may degrade settling behavior and increase glitch impulse; for >500 pF, external isolation or buffering is recommended per Figure 27's application guidance.
How does reference selection work on the AD7303BRM-REEL?
The AD7303BRM-REEL uses an internal comparator to auto-select between internal VDD/2 and external REFIN: if REFIN is tied to VDD, the internal reference activates; if REFIN is ≥1 V below VDD (e.g., 1.0–2.75 V for 5.5 V VDD), the external reference is selected. This behavior is documented in the General Description and Figure 20 of the AD7303BRM-REEL datasheet.
