DAC7541AKP

Digital To Analog Converters Overview

The Burr-Brown DAC7541AKP is a low-cost, 12-bit CMOS four-quadrant multiplying digital-to-analog converter. It utilizes laser-trimmed thin-film resistors on a monolithic CMOS circuit to ensure true 12-bit integral and differential linearity across the full specified temperature range. The device features a parallel word input format and binary input code. It operates within a maximum operating temperature of 70 °C and is housed in an 18-pin plastic SOIC package. The component serves as a direct, improved pin-for-pin replacement for industry standard parts including the 7521, 7541, and 7541A.
