3 Description

The 16-bit DAC81401 and 12-bit DAC61401

(DACx1401) devices are a pin-compatible family of

single-channel, buffered, high-voltage output digitalto-

analog converters (DACs) with an integrated

2.5‑V internal reference. These devices are specified

monotonic and provide an exceptional linearity of less

than 1 LSB (maximum).

The DACx1401 offer bipolar output voltages of ±20 V,

±10 V, ±5 V, and full-scale unipolar output voltages

of 40 V, 10 V, and 5 V. The DAC output range is

programmable.

The DACx1401 incorporate a power-on-reset (POR)

circuit that powers up the DAC output and keeps

the device in power-down mode until the outputs are

enabled.

Communication to the devices is done through

a high-speed, 4-wire serial interface compatible

with industry-standard microprocessors and

microcontrollers supporting 1.7‑V to 5.5‑V operation.

The DACx1401 are characterized for operation over

the temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, and are

available in a small 20-pin TSSOP package.
