The DAC0800 series are monolithic 8-bit high-speed current output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with typical settling times of 100 ns. When used as a multiplier DAC, monotonic performance is possible over the 40 to 1 reference current range. The DAC0800 series also features highly compatible complementary current outputs to allow differential output voltages of 20 Vp-p with simple resistive loads. Reference-to-full-scale current matching better than ±1 LSB eliminates the need for full-scale trim in most applications, while nonlinearities better than ±0.1% over temperature minimize system error accumulation.
Noise immune inputs will accept a variety of logic levels. The device's performance and characteristics are essentially unchanged over the ±4.5V to ±18V power supply range, with power consumption of only 33 mW with ±5V supplies, independent of logic input levels.
