Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AD587 best suited for?
It is highly recommended as a reference for various DACs (8-bit up to 16-bit) and successive approximation or integrating ADCs, offering better performance than standard on-chip references.
Does the AD587 have strong temperature stability?
Yes. The AD587L offers outstanding performance with a maximum deviation from 10.000V of ±8.5 mV between 0°C and 70°C, and it has a low temperature coefficient (5 ppm/°C max for L grades).
Are there options for extreme temperatures?
Yes. The AD587U grade is specified for a wide operating range of −55°C to +125°C.
How can I improve the noise performance?
The device includes a noise reduction pin that can be utilized with an external capacitor for additional noise filtering, helping reduce the typical 4 µV p-p output noise.
