GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The DAC8043 is a high accuracy 12-bit CMOS multiplying DAC in a space-saving 8-lead PDIP package. Featuring serial data input, double buffering, and excellent analog performance, the DAC8043 is ideal for applications where PC board space is at a premium. In addition, improved linearity and gain error performance permit reduced parts count through the elimination of trimming components. Separate input clock and load DAC control lines allow full user control of data loading and analog output.
