DAC712PK

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The DAC712PK is a Texas Instruments 16-bit resolution, single-channel digital-to-analog converter (DAC) housed in a 28-pin PDIP package. It utilizes an R-2R resistor string architecture and features a parallel digital interface. The device includes an internal voltage reference and provides a buffered voltage output with bipolar polarity. Key electrical specifications include a conversion rate of 100ksps, a maximum full-scale error of ±0.2% FSR, and an overall non-linear error of ±8LSB. The longest stable time is 6µs. It operates on dual power supplies within the range of ±11.4V to 16.5V and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
