The LTC
廬
1257 is a complete single supply, 12-bit voltage
output D/A converter (DAC) in an SO-8 package. The
LTC1257 includes an output buffer amplifier, 2.048V
voltage reference and an easy to use three-wire cascadable
serial interface. An external reference can be used to
override the internal reference and extend the output
voltage range to 12V. The power supply current is a low
350碌A(chǔ) when operating from a 5V supply, making the
LTC1257 ideal for battery-powered applications. The space-
saving 8-pin SO package and operation with no external
components provide the smallest 12-bit D/A system
available.
