General Description
The DAC1006 7 8 are advanced CMOS Si-Cr 10- 9- and
8-bit accurate multiplying DACs which are designed to inter-
face directly with the 8080 8048 8085 Z-80 and other pop-
ular microprocessors These DACs appear as a memory lo-
cation or an I O port to the
mP
and no interfacing logic is
needed
These devices combined with an external amplifier and
voltage reference can be used as standard D A converters
and they are very attractive for multiplying applications
(such as digitally controlled gain blocks) since their linearity
error is essentially independent of the voltage reference
They become equally attractive in audio signal processing
equipment as audio gain controls or as programmable at-
tenuators which marry high quality audio signal processing
to digitally based systems under microprocessor control
All of these DACs are double buffered They can load all 10
bits or two 8-bit bytes and the data format is left justified
The analog section of these DACs is essentially the same
as that of the DAC1020
The DAC1006 series are the 10-bit members of a family of
microprocessor-compatible DAC鈥檚 (MICRO-DAC
TM
鈥檚) For
applications requiring other resolutions the DAC0830 series
(8 bits) and the DAC1208 and DAC1230 (12 bits) are avail-
able alternatives
