The DAC08 series of 8-bit monolithic digital-to-analog convertersprovide very high speed performance coupled with low costand outstanding applications flexibility.Advanced circuit design achieves 85 ns settling times with verylow glitch energy and at low power consumption. Monotonicmultiplying performance is attained over a wide 20 to 1 referencecurrent range. Matching to within 1 LSB between reference andfull-scale currents eliminates the need for full-scale trimming inmost applications.Direct interface to all popular logic families with full noiseimmunity is provided by the high swing, adjustable thresholdlogic input.High voltage compliance complementary current outputs areprovided, increasing versatility and enabling differential operationto effectively double the peak-to-peak output swing. In manyapplications, the outputs can be directly converted to voltagewithout the need for an external op amp. All DAC08 series modelsguarantee full 8-bit monotonicity, and nonlinearities as tight as±0.1% over the entire operating temperature range are available.Device performance is essentially unchanged over the ±4.5 V to±18 V power supply range, with 33 mW power consumptionattainable at ±5 V supplies.The compact size and low power consumption make the DAC08attractive for portable and military/aerospace applications;devices processed to MIL-STD-883, Level B are available.DAC08 applications include 8-bit, 1 µs A/D converters, servomotor and pen drivers, waveform generators, audio encodersand attenuators, analog meter drivers, programmable powersupplies, LCD display drivers, high speed modems, and otherapplications where low cost, high speed, and completeinput/output versatility are required.
