About this manual

This document is a technical data sheet for the DAC1208 and DAC1230 series of 12-bit multiply-ing D to A converters. These devices are designed to interface directly with various microprocessors, including the 8080, 8048, 8085, and Z-80 families.

The analog section utilizes a precision silicon-chromium (Si-Cr) R-2R ladder network combined with twelve CMOS current switches. The datasheet provides absolute maximum ratings, detailed electrical characteristics including resolution, linearity error, gain error, and timing parameters, as well as typical application circuit diagrams.
