DAC1408A-8Q

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC1408A-8Q is a high-speed, 8-bit digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features an on-chip low noise, wide bandwidth voltage output amplifier and a 200mA current source, enabling direct drive capabilities for video signals without external components. The device operates from a single +5V supply and utilizes a serial interface compatible with standard DSP ports. Key electrical specifications include a settling time of 35ns to 0.1% and a power-down mode that reduces consumption to less than 1mW. The component is housed in a compact 28-pin SSOP package suitable for space-constrained applications.
