Data acquisition and digital to analog converters are widely used in a variety of industries for applications such as telecommunications and instrumentation, audio and video, industrial process control, and even scientific and biomedical research. The AD5421BREZ (REZ) is one of the newest digital to analog converter (DAC) products offered by Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) and is specifically designed for low-noise applications, such as medical imaging, where high dynamic range and fast settling time are required. This article will discuss the application fields of the AD5421BREZ and provide a basic overview of its working principle.

AD5421BREZ Application Fields

The AD5421BREZ is a single-channel, 10-bit, 16-bit monolithic DAC with a conversion ratio of 1 LSB/mV, allowing for a wide dynamic range of signals with very low noise and fast settling time. This makes it suitable for a variety of low-noise equipment, such as medical imaging systems where low noise level is desired. The combination of low noise and high dynamic range enables the AD5421BREZ to be fit into a wide range of applications. These range from biomedical and diagnostic imaging and measurement, to precise laboratory instrumentation, to radar and avionics, to general-purpose industrial automation and even gaming and consumer entertainment.

The AD5421BREZ also features a uniquely low power dissipation of 450µA (typical) and a wide supply voltage of 2.7V to 5.5V, making it suitable for portable and battery-operated devices in environments with a limited and fluctuating power supply. Additionally, its low power requirement makes it ideal for use in automotive and industrial process control applications, as well as consumer electronics.

AD5421BREZ Working Principle

The AD5421BREZ is based on a resistor string topology that allows for fast settling time and high accuracy. The DAC consists of a voltage buffer and a resistor string that is made up of successively higher and lower valued resistors connected in parallel. A set of switches is connected to the resistor string, and the switches can be opened and closed according to the binary-coded voltage (BCV) value of the input signals to the DAC.

The switches open or close in order to connect the resistor string to a reference voltage. The reference voltage, in turn, causes current to flow in the resistor string, resulting in a voltage that is determined by the resistance of the string and the reference voltage. This voltage is then measured by the voltage buffer and amplified to form the output voltage of the ADC. As the binary-coded input value changes, the switches change the resistance of the resistor string, thus changing the output voltage. This process is repeated in order to produce a continuous output voltage that is proportional to the binary-coded input voltage.

In addition to its fast settling time and wide dynamic range, the AD5421BREZ also features a low power requirement and a comprehensive ESD protection structure. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications where low power consumption, high accuracy, and fast settling time are desired.

Conclusion

The AD5421BREZ is a single-channel, 10-bit, 16-bit monolithic DAC designed for low-noise applications such as medical imaging. Its features such as fast settling time, low noise level, wide dynamic range, and low power dissipation make it well suited for use in a wide range of applications including biomedical and diagnostic imaging, radar and avionics, scientific and biomedical research, and general-purpose industrial automation. Moreover, its comprehensive ESD protection structure provides added protection in low power environments.
