Philips Semiconductors 8-Bit high-speed multiplying D/A converter DAC08 Series handbook

The DAC08 series is an 8-bit monolithic multiplying Digital-to-Analog Converter that provides very high-speed performance, low cost, and outstanding applications flexibility. Advanced circuit design achieves 70ns settling times with very low glitch and at low power consumption. Monotonic multiplying performance is attained over a wide 20-to-1 reference current range. Matching to within 1 LSB between reference and full-scale currents eliminates the need for full-scale trimming in most applications. Direct interface to all popular logic families with full noise immunity is provided by the high swing, adjustable threshold logic inputs. Dual complementary outputs are provided, increasing versatility and enabling differential operation to effectively double the peak-to-peak output swing. True high voltage compliance outputs allow direct output voltage conversion and eliminate output op amps in many applications. All DAC08 series models guarantee full 8-bit monotonicity and linearities as tight as 0.1% over the entire operating temperature range. Device performance is essentially unchanged over the ±4.5V to ±18V power supply range, with 37mW power consumption attainable at ±5V supplies. The compact size and low power consumption make the DAC08 attractive for portable and military aerospace applications.
