The DAC8229 combines two 8‑bit DACs in a single 20‑pin package, offering TTL‑compatible logic levels, fast interface timing, and a 5 µs settling time. It is available in DIP, SOL and ceramic packages and operates from –40 °C to +125 °C depending on the version.
Typical applications include automatic test equipment, industrial controls, energy controls, and microprocessor‑controlled systems. The device features internal regulators, R‑2R resistor ladders, and can drive up to 65 mA into low‑impedance loads while staying within its power‑dissipation limits.
| Resolution | 8 bits per DAC (dual 8‑bit) |
|---|---|
| Settling Time | 5 µs |
| Supply Options | Dual or single supply operation |
| Power Dissipation | < 109 mW |
The DAC8229 settles to its final value in 5 µs.
Yes, although it is designed for dual supplies, it can operate from a single supply by connecting the appropriate pins as described in the document.
