DAC08EQ

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC08EQ is an 8-bit, high-speed multiplying digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features a settling time of 85 ns and full-scale current prematched to ±1 LSB. The device provides complementary current outputs with high voltage compliance ranging from −10 V to +18 V. It supports direct interface with TTL, CMOS, ECL, HTL, and PMOS logic families via adjustable threshold inputs. Power consumption is 33 mW at ±5 V supplies, operating within a wide supply range of ±4.5 V to ±18 V.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EQ' against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm package type (CERDIP) and temperature grade (0°C to +70°C). Confirm availability status as older revisions may be discontinued or replaced by updated series variants.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select based on required logic family compatibility using the VLC pin for threshold adjustment. Ensure reference resistor thermal coefficients match load resistors to minimize full-scale drift. Verify power supply symmetry and bypassing requirements for stable operation across the ±4.5 V to ±18 V range.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context
