Octal 14-Bit, Parallel Input,
Voltage-Output DAC
a
AD7841
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The AD7841 contains eight 14-bit DACs on one monolithic
chip. It has output voltages with a full-scale range of 10 V
from reference voltages of 5 V.
Eight 14-Bit DACs in One Package
Voltage Outputs
Offset Adjust for Each DAC Pair
Reference Range of ꢀ5 V
Maximum Output Voltage Range of ꢀ10 V
ꢀ15 V ꢀ 10% Operation
The AD7841 accepts 14-bit parallel loaded data from the exter-
nal bus into one of the input registers under the control of the
WR, CS, and DAC channel address pins, A0–A2.
Clear Function to User-Defined Voltage
44-Lead MQFP Package
The DAC outputs are updated on reception of new data into
the DAC registers. All the outputs may be updated simulta-
neously by taking the LDAC input low.
APPLICATIONS
Automatic Test Equipment
Process Control
General Purpose Instrumentation
Each DAC output is buffered with a gain-of-two amplifier into
which an external DAC offset voltage can be inserted via the
DUTGNDx pins.
The AD7841 is available in a 44-lead MQFP package.
