MX7548JP+

The MX7548 is a 12-bit CMOS, current output, multiplying digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a versatile interface for microprocessors using 8-bit busses. The MX7548 accepts data into its input-registers in two bytes in either left- or right-justified format, lease significant byte or most significant byte first. Standard active-low WR and active-low CSLSB or active-low SCMSB inputs control the data load operation. A separate active-low LDAC input controls transfer of data from the input register to the DAC register allowing for simultaneous update of all DACs in multi-DAC systems. A data override input forces the DAC output to full-scale or zero-code without altering the contents of the input registers. This permits the user to perform DAC calibration conveniently without having to load calibration data into the DAC.The MX7548 works with a single +5V, +12V or +15V power supply, and the electrical characteristics are specified at all of these supply voltages. All digital inputs are TTL and +5V-CMOS compatible with any of these supply voltages. Maxim MX7548 uses low tempco thin-film resistors which are laser trimmed to ±¼ LSB linearity and better than ±1 LSB gain accuracy. The digital inputs are designed with improved ESD protection and can typically withstand over 5,000V of ESD voltages. The MX7548 is supplied in 20-lead narrow DIP, PLCC, and Small Outline packages.
