AD421BNZ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The AD421BNZ is a 16-bit, loop-powered digital-to-analog converter (DAC) designed to produce 4 mA to 20 mA output signals for industrial control transmitters. It is manufactured by Analog Devices and packaged in a through-hole 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) package, also known as 16-PDIP.

 

Key electrical specifications include 16-bit resolution and monotonicity, typical integral nonlinearity (INL) of 0.01%, and a typical full-scale settling time of 8 ms to ±0.1%. The device operates from a single supply and features a pin-selectable regulated output voltage of 3 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V to power additional circuitry. On-chip precision references provide 1.25 V and 2.5 V outputs. The quiescent current is 750 µA maximum.

 

The AD421BNZ uses a MICROWIRE serial interface and is fully compatible with HART® circuitry. It is designed for loop-powered smart transmitters and can be used with an external pass transistor to operate from a wider supply voltage range. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.
