Low-power DAC allows high density analog output modules without de-rating

Analog Devices has introduced the AD5758 DAC. It incorporates the company’s second-generation DPC to enable high density AOUT modules without requiring de-rating the need to turn off channels due to thermal build up - resulting in lower cost, more compact designs. This single-channel current/voltage DAC with DPC is designed for channel-to-channel isolated industrial applications in factory automation, process automation, and motor control. The device is the company's lowest power industrial DAC. The device’s 5mm x 5mm size creates the smallest footprint in the industry. Its robust construction requires fewer external protection components, supporting smaller, lower-cost designs. It is engineered with advanced diagnostics that provide visibility to system performance for higher reliability and planned maintenance schedules. The device also includes output fault protection circuits to safeguard the DAC in the event of a miswire incident.
