The AD7528BN from Texas Instruments is an 8-bit digital-to-analog converter with a parallel interface, built for applications where a simple parallel bus writes the analog output without serial protocol overhead. It ships in bulk packaging, which means loose tubes or trays rather than tape-and-reel — plan for manual or tube-fed pick-and-place handling.
The part is RoHS non-compliant, meaning it contains lead or other restricted substances above the RoHS threshold. This is typical for legacy through-hole DACs; verify your assembly line's exemption status before committing to a BOM position.
