16-bit voltage-output DAC with SPI — what it is and where it fits
The AD7849CRZ-REEL is a 16-bit, single-channel, voltage-buffered DAC from Analog Devices built on a String DAC architecture. It settles to 16-bit accuracy in 10 µs typical, driven by an SPI data interface. The analog supply rails are ±14.25 V to ±15.75 V, and the digital supply is 5 V. An external voltage reference sets the output span. This part is rated for the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for precision analog output modules in factory automation, process control, and ATE instrumentation where a bipolar output swing and monotonic 16-bit performance are required.
Settling time and linearity — what the numbers mean for your BOM
The 10 µs typical settling time determines the maximum update rate for a full-scale step to ±0.5 LSB.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The AD7849CRZ-REEL is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. No last-time-buy or obsolescence notice is on record.
