Analog Devices DAC8043 12‑Bit DAC Datasheet Rev E
The DAC8043 is a high‑accuracy 12‑bit CMOS multiplying digital‑to‑analog converter offered in an 8‑lead PDIP package and a 16‑lead SOIC package. It features fast serial data input, double data buffers, low integral and differential non‑linearity, and a gain error of up to ±2 LSB. The device operates from a single 5 V supply and includes ESD‑protected digital inputs.
The datasheet provides detailed specifications, electrical characteristics, absolute maximum ratings, pin configurations, typical performance graphs, and interface examples for several microprocessors (MC6800, 8085, 68000). Ordering information for temperature‑range and RoHS‑compliant variants is also included.
