Product details
Overview
AD7628KR from Analog Devices is a monolithic dual 8-bit buffered multiplying DAC with separate on-chip latches for each channel, operating from +12 V to +15 V, delivering ±1/2 LSB relative accuracy and ±1 LSB differential nonlinearity across –40°C to +85°C, used in programmable filters and X-Y graphics systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD7628KR datasheet, AD7628KR pinout, AD7628KR application, or AD7628KR equivalent, key selection criteria include DAC-to-DAC matching (1%), four-quadrant multiplication capability, TTL/CMOS compatibility at +12 V to +15 V, and SOIC-20 package suitability for space-constrained analog control designs.
Technical Context
The AD7628KR integrates two identical 8-bit R-2R ladder DACs with current-steering switches, each featuring independent reference inputs (VREFA/VREFB) and feedback resistors (RFB A/RFB B), enabling true four-quadrant multiplication and unipolar/bipolar output configurations via offset binary coding.
Its digital interface uses a shared 8-bit TTL/CMOS-compatible bus (DB0–DB7) with dedicated DAC A/DAC B select, chip select (CS), and write (WR) controls - supporting microprocessor bus timing compatible with 6502, 6809, 8085, and Z80 architectures without external latches.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD7628KR is housed in a 20-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with gull-wing leads, 0.3-inch body width, and standard JEDEC MS-013 footprint. Pin 1 is AGND, pin 2 is OUT A, pin 20 is OUT B.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AGND) | Analog Ground | Common return for analog outputs and reference inputs; must be tied to DGND at device for noise control |
| 2 (OUT A) | Analog Output A | Current-output node for DAC A; requires external op amp for voltage output or impedance matching |
| 3 (OUT B) | Analog Output B | Current-output node for DAC B; electrically isolated from OUT A with –80 dB channel-to-channel isolation |
| 4 (RFB B) | Feedback Resistor B | Connection point for external RFB resistor to set DAC B gain; enables independent scaling |
| 5 (DGND) | Digital Ground | Return for digital inputs; separation from AGND reduces digital switching noise coupling |
| 6 (DAC A/DAC B) | DAC Selection Control | Active-low signal selecting which DAC latch accepts data from DB0–DB7 bus |
| 7–14 (DB7–DB0) | Digital Data Bus | 8-bit parallel input port shared by both DACs; MSB (DB7) to LSB (DB0) ordering |
| 15 (WR) | Write Strobe | Active-low control initiating latch update when CS is low; defines write pulse width (≥150 ns) |
| 16 (CS) | Chip Select | Active-low enable for interface; combined with WR determines operating mode per Mode Selection Table |
| 17 (RFB A) | Feedback Resistor A | Connection point for external RFB resistor to set DAC A gain; matched to RFB B for ratio accuracy |
| 18 (VREF A) | Reference Input A | High-impedance (8–15 kΩ) reference voltage source for DAC A; supports ±25 V input range |
| 19 (VREF B) | Reference Input B | Independent high-impedance reference for DAC B; matched to VREF A within ±1% for tracking |
| 20 (VDD) | Positive Supply | +12 V to +15 V analog/digital supply; powers internal latches and R-2R ladder |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip dual latches | Enables independent, asynchronous loading of DAC A and DAC B without bus contention or external registers |
| Four-quadrant multiplication | Supports bipolar output swing using external op amp feedback; enables programmable gain/attenuation with sign control |
| DAC-to-DAC matching | 1% gain match and ±1% VREF input resistance match ensure consistent scaling between channels in filter or attenuator designs |
| TTL/CMOS compatibility | Operates with standard logic thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.4 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) across full +12 V to +15 V supply range |
| Low-glitch impulse | 330 nV·s typical glitch energy minimizes transient errors during code transitions in precision waveform synthesis |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual 8-bit multiplying DAC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD7626KRZ | Single 8-bit DAC, no dual-channel or DAC-to-DAC matching spec | Lacks simultaneous dual-output capability; unsuitable for ratio-metric or differential applications | Select only if single-channel operation suffices and board space allows SOIC-16 footprint |
| MAX521ACPP+ | Quad 8-bit DAC with I²C interface; no native parallel bus or four-quadrant multiplication | Requires serial protocol overhead; lacks independent reference inputs per channel | Prefer for low-pin-count systems where microcontroller I²C is available and analog flexibility is secondary |
Compared with AD7628KR, AD7626KRZ offers lower cost and smaller package but forfeits dual-channel matching and independent reference support, while MAX521ACPP+ adds channel count and serial control at the expense of parallel interface speed and four-quadrant analog flexibility.
