DAC0806LCN

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC0806LCN is an 8-bit monolithic digital-to-analog converter manufactured by National Semiconductor. It features a full-scale output current settling time of 150 ns and dissipates 33 mW with ±5 V supplies. The device provides relative accuracy with a maximum error of ±0.19% and typically matches full-scale current within ±1 LSB of 255 IREF/256. Zero level output current is less than 4 mA, ensuring 8-bit zero accuracy for IREF ≥ 2 mA. It operates with supply voltages ranging from -4.5 V to -18 V and interfaces directly with TTL, DTL, or CMOS logic levels.
