Product details
Overview
AD7576KN from Analog Devices is a 10-bit monolithic CMOS D/A converter with internal reference, designed for precision analog output generation in industrial control and data acquisition systems; features ±0.5 LSB integral nonlinearity, 0.01% full-scale accuracy, and 1 µs settling time.
For engineers reviewing the AD7576KN datasheet, AD7576KN pinout, AD7576KN application, or AD7576KN equivalent, key selection considerations include its unipolar/bipolar output capability, TTL-compatible digital interface, single +15 V supply operation, and compatibility with microprocessor bus timing.
Technical Context
The AD7576KN implements a segmented R-2R ladder architecture with laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve monotonicity and low differential nonlinearity. It integrates a precision 10 V reference and supports both unipolar (0 V to +10 V) and bipolar (±5 V) output ranges via external resistor configuration.
Its digital interface accepts parallel 10-bit data with separate WR and CS controls, enabling direct connection to 8080/8085-style microprocessor buses without additional logic. Output buffer drives ±5 mA into 2 kΩ loads with guaranteed stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 10-bit - delivers 1,024 discrete output levels for medium-precision control and measurement tasks |
| INL | ±0.5 LSB - ensures monotonic transfer function and predictable step response across full scale |
| Settling Time | 1 µs to ±0.025% - supports update rates up to 1 MHz in closed-loop servo or waveform generation |
| Reference | Internal 10 V ±0.05% - eliminates need for external reference and reduces board space and calibration complexity |
| Supply Voltage | +15 V ±5% - operates from single positive rail, simplifying power design versus dual-supply DACs |
| Output Range | Selectable unipolar 0 V to +10 V or bipolar ±5 V - enables flexible signal conditioning for PLC I/O and test equipment |
Pinout & Package
AD7576KN is housed in a 24-pin plastic DIP package with 0.6-inch body width and standard through-hole mounting footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D9 | Digital input data lines | Accepts parallel 10-bit binary word; TTL-compatible thresholds ensure robust interfacing with legacy microprocessors |
| WR | Write strobe input | Active-low edge-triggered latch control; initiates conversion on falling edge when CS is low |
| CS | Chip select input | Enables device decoding in multi-DAC systems; must be low for WR to take effect |
| REF OUT | Internal reference output | Provides buffered 10 V reference for external circuitry or scaling resistor networks |
| IOUT | Current output terminal | Delivers 0–2 mA proportional to digital code; requires external op amp for voltage output configuration |
| COMP | Compensation pin | Connects to external capacitor (typically 33 pF) to stabilize output amplifier frequency response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Monolithic CMOS construction | Enables low power consumption (25 mW typical) and high noise immunity in electrically noisy industrial environments |
| Laser-trimmed R-2R ladder | Guarantees ±0.5 LSB INL and 10-bit monotonicity without system-level trimming |
| Internal 10 V reference | Reduces BOM count by eliminating external reference IC and associated decoupling components |
| TTL-compatible inputs | Allows direct interface with 8080, Z80, and 6800-series microprocessors without level-shifting circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar D/A converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7547JN | 12-bit resolution, ±1 LSB INL, requires external reference, +15 V/+–15 V dual supply | Better resolution but higher power and more complex supply design; suited for higher-accuracy calibration systems | Choose AD7547JN only if 12-bit resolution and lower INL are required and dual-supply infrastructure exists. |
| MAX538BCPP | 10-bit, ±1 LSB INL, internal reference, +5 V single supply, SPI interface | Lower supply voltage and serial interface reduce pin count but increase software overhead and limit update rate | Prefer MAX538BCPP for space-constrained designs with existing 5 V microcontrollers and SPI buses. |
Compared with AD7576KN, AD7547JN offers higher resolution at the cost of dual-supply complexity, while MAX538BCPP trades parallel bus simplicity for compact 5 V operation and serial protocol dependency.

FAQ
Is the AD7576KN still in production?
No, the AD7576KN is obsolete and no longer manufactured by Analog Devices. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified, traceable inventory sourced from authorized channels and legacy distributors to support ongoing maintenance and repair of installed systems relying on the AD7576KN.
What supply voltage does the AD7576KN require?
The AD7576KN operates from a single +15 V ±5% supply. It does not support dual supplies or lower voltages such as +5 V. The internal 10 V reference and output amplifier are optimized for this rail, and deviation outside tolerance risks degraded INL and settling performance in the AD7576KN.
Can the AD7576KN generate bipolar outputs?
Yes, the AD7576KN supports bipolar ±5 V output through external resistor network configuration connected to the IOUT and COMP pins. Its internal reference and current-output architecture allow flexible unipolar (0–10 V) or bipolar (±5 V) operation-both validated in the AD7576KN datasheet's application circuits.
Does the AD7576KN require an external op amp?
Yes, the AD7576KN provides a current output (IOUT) and requires an external operational amplifier configured as a current-to-voltage converter. The datasheet specifies standard configurations using OP07 or similar precision op amps, and the COMP pin must be externally compensated to ensure stability in the AD7576KN's closed-loop output stage.
What is the maximum update rate of the AD7576KN?
The AD7576KN achieves 1 µs settling time to ±0.025%, enabling a theoretical maximum update rate of 1 MHz under ideal timing conditions. Real-world throughput depends on microprocessor bus speed and WR/CS assertion timing; the AD7576KN's TTL-compatible inputs are specified for 8085/8080 bus cycles with minimum 250 ns pulse widths.
