DAC0800
Description
The DAC0800 series are monolithic 8-bit high-speed current-output digital-to-analog converters (DAC) featuring typical settling times of 100 ns. When used as a multiplying DAC, monotonic performance over a 40 to 1 reference current range is possible. The DAC0800 series also features high pliance plementary current outputs to allow differential output voltages of 20 Vp-p with simple resistor loads as shown in Figure 1. The reference-to-full-scale current matching of better than ± 1 LSB eliminates the need for full-scale trims in most applications while the nonlinearities of better than ± 0.1% over temperature minimizes system error accumulations. The noise immune inputs of the DAC0800 series will accept TTL levels with the logic threshold pin, VLC, grounded. Changing the VLC potential will allow direct interface to other logic families. The performance and characteristics of the device are essentially unchanged over the full ± 4.5V to ± 18V power supply range; power...
