This document describes the features and characteristics of Analog Devices' DAC8043A model, including 12-bit accuracy, fast serial input, and 1 microsecond settling time.
The DAC8043A is a 12‑bit serial‑input multiplying digital‑to‑analog converter offered in compact 8‑lead PDIP, SOIC‑8, and TSSOP‑8 packages. It features true 12‑bit accuracy, low power consumption (10 µA at 5 V), and a 2.4 MHz bandwidth, making it suitable for space‑constrained designs.
Typical applications include PLCs, motion‑control systems, programmable amplifiers, and digitally controlled calibration circuits. The device operates over an extended industrial temperature range (‑40 °C to +85 °C) and provides pin‑for‑pin compatibility with the DAC8043 series.
| Resolution | 12 Bits |
|---|---|
| Integral Nonlinearity (INL) | ±0.5 LSB (E‑Grade), ±1.0 LSB (F‑Grade) |
The DAC8043A operates from –40 °C to +85 °C.
Pin 1 (7) – V REF is the DAC reference input pin.
The DAC8043A can source up to 50 mA in a short‑circuit condition.
