GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD7846 is a 16-bit DAC constructed with the Analog Devices, Inc., LC2MOS process. It has VREF+ and VREF− reference inputs and an on-chip output amplifier. These can be configured to give a unipolar output range (0 V to +5 V, 0 V to +10 V) or bipolar output ranges (±5 V, ±10 V).

FEATURES

16-bit monotonicity over temperature

±2 LSBs integral linearity error

Microprocessor compatible with readback capability

Unipolar or bipolar output

Multiplying capability

Low power (100 mW typical)
