DAC08CS

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC08CS is an 8-bit monolithic multiplying digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Analog Devices. It provides high-speed performance with a typical settling time of 85 ns and low glitch energy. The device features complementary current outputs (IOUT and IOUT) with a wide voltage compliance range from −10 V to +18 V. It supports a wide power supply range of ±4.5 V to ±18 V and consumes only 33 mW at ±5 V supplies. The DAC08CS interfaces directly with TTL, CMOS, ECL, HTL, and PMOS logic families via adjustable threshold inputs.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific grade suffix for temperature range requirements. The 'S' indicates a SOIC package with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Confirm availability as older revisions may be discontinued or replaced by newer package variants like the SOIC_N.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select based on required logic family compatibility and power supply constraints. Ensure reference resistor thermal coefficients match output resistors for minimal drift. For multiplying applications, verify reference amplifier compensation using the recommended capacitor values relative to the reference input impedance.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC08 series includes variants such as DAC08A, DAC08E, and DAC08C, differentiated primarily by operating temperature ranges and nonlinearity specifications. The DAC08CS specifically denotes the commercial grade version in a Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package, suitable for general-purpose industrial applications.

Digital To Analog Converters Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements within the DAC08 family, such as DAC08CSZ or DAC08CS-REEL, ensuring package dimensions and thermal characteristics remain consistent. Verify if updated revisions have superseded the current part number.
