The AD5362BSTZ is a high-performance, 8-channel, 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Analog Devices, offered in a 52-lead LQFP package . It provides buffered voltage outputs with a nominal span of -10 V to +10 V, equal to four times the reference voltage . Each DAC channel features independently programmable gain and offset registers for system calibration and error trimming . The device incorporates advanced functionality including a thermal shutdown function, a channel monitoring multiplexer, and GPIO capabilities . To simplify system design, it features a high-speed SPI-compatible serial interface , data error checking, and the ability to simultaneously update all DAC outputs. The output can also be cleared to a user-defined SIGGNDx level via the CLR pin . With its robust feature set, the AD5362BSTZ is ideal for instrumentation, industrial control systems, automatic test equipment (ATE), variable optical attenuators (VOA), and optical line cards .
