8-bit multiplying DAC in 16-SOIC
The MX7524JCSE+ is an 8-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converter from Analog Devices, built on an R-2R ladder architecture with an unbuffered current output. It settles to within ±½ LSB in 500 ns, making it suited for control-loop and waveform-generation paths where the update rate and monotonicity matter more than the bit count. The parallel data interface and external reference give the system architect direct control over the full-scale current and the transfer function — no serial latency, no internal bandgap to bypass. Differential output is available on-chip, which simplifies driving a downstream op-amp or transformer-coupled load.
The INL error is ±0.5 LSB maximum and the DNL is ±1 LSB maximum, which means the transfer function is monotonic and the linearity error stays within one code width across the full 8-bit range. For a system that needs 8-bit accuracy without trimming, this part delivers the spec at the corner.
Package and sourcing posture
The footprint is standard for this body width — no exotic land pattern required. Analog Devices lists the MX7524JCSE+ as Active and ROHS3 compliant.
