DAC0832LCVX

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC0832LCVX is an 8-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a double-buffered architecture with single or flow-through input options, ensuring compatibility with popular microprocessors like the 8080 and Z80. The device utilizes a silicon-chromium R-2R resistor ladder network for excellent temperature tracking. It operates on a single power supply ranging from 5 VDC to 15 VDC, consuming only 20 mW of power. The part is housed in a 20-pin PLCC package and supports a current settling time of 1 μs.

Digital To Analog Converters Feature Summary

• Double-buffered digital data inputs allow simultaneous updating of multiple converters.
• Direct interface capability with TTL voltage level logic inputs.
• Full four-quadrant multiplication using bipolar reference voltages.
• Pin-compatible with the 12-bit DAC1230 series for easy resolution upgrades.

Digital To Analog Converters Applications

• Microprocessor-based analog control systems
• Programmable gain amplifier circuits
• Variable power supply regulation

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LCVX against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm availability status and exact operating temperature range. Ensure that the 20-pin PLCC footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to the end product specifications.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8-bit resolution is sufficient for the application and direct microprocessor interfacing is required. Consider the DAC1230 if higher resolution is needed without changing hardware. Ensure the external operational amplifier selected has low input bias current to minimize offset errors at the feedback node.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

This device belongs to the MICRO-DAC family of 8-bit multiplying digital-to-analog converters. It shares architectural similarities with the DAC0830 but offers specific linearity characteristics suited for general-purpose applications. The series is designed for ease of integration into existing digital control architectures.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

The DAC0830 is a pin-compatible alternative within the same family. For system upgrades requiring higher resolution, the DAC1230 serves as a direct drop-in replacement with minimal software modifications.
