DAC0800/DAC0802

8-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converters

General Description

The DAC0800 series are monolithic 8-bit high-speed

current-output digital-to-analog converters (DAC) featuring

typical settling times of 100 ns. When used as a multiplying

DAC, monotonic performance over a 40 to 1 reference cur-

rent range is possible. The DAC0800 series also features

high compliance complementary current outputs to allow

differential output voltages of 20 Vp-p with simple resistor

loads as shown in

Figure 1

. The reference-to-full-scale cur-

rent matching of better than ±1 LSB eliminates the need for

full-scale trims in most applications while the nonlinearities

of better than ±0.1% over temperature minimizes system

error accumulations.

The noise immune inputs of the DAC0800 series will accept

TTL levels with the logic threshold pin, V

, grounded.

Changing the V

potential will allow direct interface to other

logic families. The performance and characteristics of the

device are essentially unchanged over the full ±4.5V to

±18V power supply range; power dissipation is only 33 mW

with ±5V supplies and is independent of the logic input

states.

The DAC0800, DAC0802, DAC0800C and DAC0802C are a

direct replacement for the DAC-08, DAC-08A, DAC-08C,

and DAC-08H, respectively.

Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC andAC electrical specifications do not apply when operating

the device beyond its specified operating conditions.

Note 3: The maximum junction temperature of the DAC0800 and DAC0802 is 125˚C. For operating at elevated temperatures, devices in the Dual-In-Line J package

must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 100˚C/W, junction-to-ambient, 175˚C/W for the molded Dual-In-Line N package and 100˚C/W for the Small Outline

M package.

Note 4: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩresistor.

Note 5: Pin-out numbers for the DAC080X represent the Dual-In-Line package. The Small Outline package pin-out differs from the Dual-In-Line package.
