DAC08HP

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC08HP is an 8-bit monolithic digital-to-analog converter from Analog Devices, designed for high-speed multiplying applications. It features a universal digital logic interface compatible with TTL, CMOS, ECL, HTL, and PMOS families. The device provides complementary current outputs with a wide voltage compliance range of -10 V to +18 V. Key electrical specifications include an 85 ns settling time to ±1/2 LSB, nonlinearity of ±0.1% maximum, and low full-scale current drift of ±10 ppm/°C. It operates on power supplies ranging from ±4.5 V to ±18 V, consuming 33 mW at ±5 V. The DAC08HP is housed in a 16-lead plastic DIP package and supports an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix HP indicates the plastic DIP package variant with a commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). Confirm availability status as legacy components may have limited stock or require alternative sourcing strategies. Ensure proper ESD precautions are taken during handling due to the sensitivity of the internal circuitry.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select the DAC08HP when direct interfacing with various logic families without level shifting is required. Choose this model for applications needing wide output voltage compliance and low glitch energy. Consider the ±0.1% nonlinearity specification for precision requirements within the commercial temperature range. Evaluate power supply constraints, as the device supports a wide range from ±4.5 V to ±18 V.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC08HP belongs to the DAC08 series of 8-bit high-speed multiplying D/A converters. This series is characterized by advanced circuit design achieving fast settling times and low power consumption. The HP suffix specifically denotes the plastic DIP package option available for this component line, distinguishing it from ceramic DIP or SOIC variants.
