DACS improve process control reliability
Analog Devices DAC range includes four 12bit to 16bit single-channel DACs that integrate user-programmable current source and voltage output.
Analog Devices has introduced precision digital-to-analogue convertors (DACs) that significantly improve the reliability of industrial process control applications in harsh factory environments, including those operating under extreme temperatures or high-compliance voltages The offering includes four 12bit to 16bit single-channel DACs that integrate user-programmable current source and voltage output, making them ideally suited for factory process control, distributed control and smart transmitter systems

Sigma-delta ADC achieves greater than true 16bit noise-free resolution up to 2.4kHz across all input voltages from 40mV to 5V.
By eliminating the need for bulky discrete analogue circuitry and mechanical pin-strapped configurations, the DACs reduce board space by as much as 70% compared to competing solutions, enabling system design engineers to deliver more cost and space-efficient industrial equipment.
"Our newest DACs provide a compact and intelligently integrated solution for 4-20mA transmitters and analogue I/O systems, meeting the growing demand for feature-rich, highly reliable programmable automation controllers", said Mike Britchfield, Product Line Director, Precision Data Convertors, Analog Devices.
"These devices offer industrial designers a high-performance, 16bit control system that provides excellent drift and stability specifications, while reducing system inaccuracies and cost by eliminating multi-temperature factory calibration sequences".
