DAC08CS-REEL

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC08CS-REEL is an 8-bit high-speed multiplying digital-to-analog converter (DAC) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features a universal digital logic interface and operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 18 V for both analog and digital sections. The device provides current output with a settling time of approximately 85 ns. Packaged in a reel format, this component is designed for applications requiring rapid conversion speeds and multiplying capabilities, supporting industrial and communication systems where precise signal generation is critical.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC08CS-REEL belongs to the DAC08 series of multiplying DACs from Analog Devices. The '-REEL' suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly. This component is part of a legacy product line that established standards for high-speed 8-bit conversion, often used as a reference or replacement in older designs before being succeeded by newer CMOS-based alternatives.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Verify pinout compatibility when substituting with other 8-bit multiplying DACs. Check if the target application requires voltage output rather than current, which may necessitate additional external circuitry.
