DAC312GBC

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC312GBC is a 12-bit high-speed multiplying digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features a guaranteed differential nonlinearity of ±0.5 LSB and a maximum linearity error of 0.05% across the commercial operating temperature range. The device offers a fast settling time of 250 ns and supports a compliance voltage range from -5 V to +10 V. It provides differential current outputs ranging from 0 to 4 mA and ensures monotonicity over its full 12-bit resolution. Power consumption is specified at 225 mW, and it maintains low full-scale temperature coefficient of 10 ppm/°C.
