Data Acquisition - Digital to Analog Converters (DAC)

DAC8420FSZ application field and working principle

DACs, or Digital to Analog Converters, are electronic components used in a variety of electronic technologies that take the form of onboard chips, discrete integrated circuits, and even entire instrument-level devices. DACs are used in many different types of applications such as mobile communications, automotive electronics, medical devices, consumer electronics, industrial control, and aerospace. In specific, the DAC8420FSZ is a multifunction device.

The primary application of the DAC8420FSZ is as a high-resolution digital-to-analog converter. It is a monolithic device usually used for converting logic levels into analog control signals, such as for frequency or voltage control. The DAC8420FSZ is so widely used due to its ease of use, reliability, and accuracy. Furthermore, it is designed for low-voltage operation and accepts both non-linear and linear input formats.

The DAC8420FSZ has a wide range of capabilities, with a wide temperature and power range. The DAC8420FSZ also provides programmable gain and offset adjustment. It also boasts high linearity and wide accuracy over limited or full-scale spans. Its full-scale range varies between 0 to 10V and full-scale accuracy is typically specified between 0.05% and 0.1%. Moreover, the DAC8420FSZ has a low-power consumption; it offers the ability to scale its voltage outputs up and down with a minimum power drain.

The DAC8420FSZ is typically configured to accept either a digital or analog input. When a digital source is used, the input voltage applied to the device is translated into a digital value. When an analog input is used, the input voltage is converted into a digital representation at the application interface. The digital value is then mapped to the appropriate output voltage. This mapping process is called a high-order function, which is programmed into the device before use.

The DAC8420FSZ provides an outstandingly accurate analog voltage output for a wide range of applications. The accuracy of the output voltage is determined by the linearity of the output functions and the resolution of the analog-to-digital converter. Generally, one can expect an output voltage accuracy of between 0.05% and 0.1% full-scale. This means that if the voltage range is 0 to 10V, then the output voltage accuracy will be typically between 1mV and 2mV.

In conclusion, the DAC8420FSZ is a highly versatile and reliable digital-to-analog converter that is used for a wide range of digital to analog conversions – from simple logic levels to sophisticated frequency and voltage control. Its numerous capabilities, combined with its low-power consumption, wide temperature range, and high-accuracy outputs, make it the ideal choice for many applications.
