Replacement verdict
Not a drop-in replacement
The AD7228ACR and AD7224KR-1 are not functionally interchangeable. The AD7228ACR is an octal 8-bit voltage-output DAC, while the AD7224KR-1 is a single-channel 8-bit voltage-output DAC; the channel count, package footprint, and pinout differ fundamentally, so the AD7224KR-1 cannot directly replace the AD7228ACR in an existing design without significant board and architecture changes.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | AD7228ACR | AD7224KR-1 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of DAC Channels | 8 | 1 | Determines how many independent analog outputs the device can drive; an 8-channel part cannot be substituted by a single-channel part in multi-output systems. |
| Resolution | 8 bits | 8 bits | Both provide 8-bit resolution, so quantization step size and achievable output granularity are equivalent. |
| Reference Input | External reference required | External reference required | Both need an external voltage reference, so the system must supply a stable reference for accurate conversion. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0 V to VREF (unipolar) | 0 V to VREF (unipolar) | Defines the analog output span; matching ranges allow similar signal-chain compatibility. |
| Digital Interface | Parallel (8-bit) input | Parallel (8-bit) input | Both use a parallel data bus, so the host controller interface style is compatible. |
| Package | 28-lead SOIC (R) | 20-lead SOIC (R) | Different package sizes and pin counts affect PCB footprint and layout; they are not drop-in replacements. |
| Supply Voltage | +12 V to +15 V (single) or ±12 V to ±15 V (dual) | +12 V to +15 V (single) or ±12 V to ±15 V (dual) | Both accept similar supply rails, allowing reuse of the same power design. |
| Operating Temperature Range | 0°C to +70°C (commercial) | 0°C to +70°C (commercial) | Matching temperature grades ensure both parts suit the same commercial environment. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the primary differences between the AD7228ACR and AD7224KR-1?
The AD7228ACR is an octal 8-bit voltage-output DAC with eight on-chip output amplifiers, while the AD7224KR-1 is a single 8-bit voltage-output DAC with one on-chip output amplifier. The AD7228ACR is supplied in a 24-lead SOIC package, whereas the AD7224KR-1 is supplied in a 20-lead SOIC package.
Do the AD7228ACR and AD7224KR-1 have the same resolution and interface type?
Yes. Both devices are 8-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converters with a parallel microprocessor-compatible interface, and both feature on-chip output amplifiers capable of driving a load to the supply rails.
Can the AD7228ACR and AD7224KR-1 operate from the same supply voltages?
Both devices operate from a single +12 V to +15 V supply for the DAC and output amplifier, and both require a separate VDD reference input. The AD7228ACR additionally provides a VSS negative supply pin for bipolar output swing, while the AD7224KR-1 does not include a VSS pin in its 20-lead package.
Are the AD7228ACR and AD7224KR-1 pin-compatible?
No. The AD7228ACR uses a 24-lead SOIC package with eight analog outputs and associated address/control pins, while the AD7224KR-1 uses a 20-lead SOIC package with a single analog output. The pin counts and pin functions differ, so they are not drop-in replacements.
What are the key AC and DC specifications of the AD7228ACR?
The AD7228ACR offers 8-bit resolution, a relative accuracy of ±1 LSB (A grade), a differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB, and a typical settling time of 5 µs to ±1/2 LSB. It includes eight voltage-output amplifiers and operates from a +12 V to +15 V supply with a separate VSS for bipolar operation.
What are the key AC and DC specifications of the AD7224KR-1?
The AD7224KR-1 offers 8-bit resolution, a relative accuracy of ±1 LSB (K grade), a differential nonlinearity of ±1 LSB, and a typical settling time of 5 µs to ±1/2 LSB. It includes a single voltage-output amplifier and operates from a +12 V to +15 V supply.
Which device should be selected for an application requiring multiple DAC channels?
The AD7228ACR is the appropriate choice for multi-channel applications because it integrates eight 8-bit DACs with output amplifiers in a single 24-lead SOIC package, reducing board space and component count compared with using multiple single-channel AD7224KR-1 devices.
Are the AD7228ACR and AD7224KR-1 specified over the same temperature range?
Both devices are specified for the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, as indicated by their respective grade suffixes (A and K) in the standard commercial grade offerings from Analog Devices.
