DAC312HPZ

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC312HPZ is a 12-bit high-speed multiplying digital-to-analog converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features a 250 ns settling time and guarantees monotonicity across its full operating range. The device provides differential current outputs with a compliance voltage of –5 V to +10 V. It operates on power supplies ranging from +4.5 V to +18 V and –18 V to –10.8 V, consuming 225 mW at lower supply levels. The component utilizes a parallel interface and is housed in a 20-pin plastic DIP package.

Digital To Analog Converters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific grade suffix against the datasheet ordering guide. The 'H' suffix indicates an industrial temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C and a DNL specification of ±1 LSB. Confirm that the 'P' suffix corresponds to the Plastic DIP-20 package type required for the application design.

Digital To Analog Converters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel 12-bit DAC with fast settling times is required. Ensure the application supports the specified power supply ranges and logic input swings. Verify that the parallel interface aligns with the system's digital control architecture and that the output current mode suits the downstream circuitry.

Digital To Analog Converters Part Context

The DAC312 series combines a 9-bit master D/A converter with a 3-bit segment generator to achieve accurate 12-bit performance. This architecture ensures uniform step sizes and integral nonlinearity of 0.05%. The device is available in hermetic Cerdip, plastic DIP, and SOL packages, with the HP variant specifically designated for the plastic DIP form factor.
