DAC0832LCV

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC0832LCV is an 8-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converter (DAC) from Texas Instruments, designed for microprocessor compatibility. It features a double-buffered architecture with a silicon-chromium R-2R resistor ladder network. The device operates on a single power supply ranging from 5 VDC to 15 VDC and accepts TTL-compatible logic inputs. Key electrical specifications include a current settling time of 1 µs, a linearity error of 0.2% FSR, and a gain temperature coefficient of 0.0002% FS/°C. It dissipates approximately 20 mW of power and functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Double-buffered digital data inputs allow simultaneous updating of multiple converters in a system.
• Direct interface capability with popular microprocessors including 8080, 8048, 8085, and Z80.
• Pin-compatible with the 12-bit DAC1230 series for easy resolution upgrades.
• Supports four-quadrant multiplication with external reference voltages.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Microprocessor-based analog signal control systems
• Programmable voltage and current sources
• Waveform generation circuits
• Digital potentiometer replacements

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LCV' to confirm the PLCC package type and industrial temperature rating. Ensure the source document matches the SNAS534B revision date. Confirm that the ordering information aligns with the manufacturer's standard packaging for this component variant.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit resolution with double buffering is required for direct microprocessor interfacing. It is suitable for applications needing pin compatibility with the DAC1230 family. Consider the 1 µs settling time and 20 mW power dissipation for system design constraints.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC0832LCV belongs to the MICRO-DAC family, specifically the 8-bit members compatible with standard microprocessors. It shares the same functional architecture as the DAC0830 but offers different linearity specifications. The LC prefix indicates CMOS technology with a plastic leaded chip carrier package.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC0832LCN and DAC0832LCWM are pin-compatible alternatives offering the same functionality in SOIC packages. For higher resolution requirements, the DAC1230 series provides a direct upgrade path while maintaining software compatibility through address bit mapping.
