The DAC8043AFPZ is an improved high accuracy 12-bit multiplying Digital-to-analog Converter featuring serial input, double buffering and excellent analog performance. The DAC8043A is ideal for applications where PC board space is at a premium. 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. Serial data is clocked into the input register on the rising edge of the CLOCK pulse. When the new data word has been clocked in, it is loaded into the DAC register with the LD input pin. Data in the DAC register is converted to an output current by the D/A converter. Consuming only 10μA from a single 5V power supply, the DAC8043A is the ideal low power, small size, high performance solution to many application problems.
