DESCRIPTION

The DAC7821 is a CMOS 12-bit current output

digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This device

operates from a single 2.5V to 5.5V power supply,

making it suitable for battery-powered and many other applications.

This DAC operates with a fast parallel interface. Data

readback allows the user to read the contents of the

DAC register via the DB pins. On power-up, the

internal register and latches are filled with zeroes

and the DAC outputs are at zero scale.

The DAC7821 offers excellent 4-quadrant

multiplication characteristics, with a large signal

multiplying bandwidth of 10MHz. The applied

external reference input voltage (VREF) determines

the full-scale output current. An integrated feedback

resistor (RFB) provides temperature tracking and

full-scale voltage output when combined with an

external current-to-voltage precision amplifier.

The DAC7821 is available in a 20-lead TSSOP

package.
