GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MP7613 provides eight independent 12-bit resolution
Digital-to-Analog Converters with voltage output amplifiers and
a parallel digital address and data port.
Built on using an advanced linear BiCMOS, these devices of-
fer rugged solutions that are latch-up free, and take advantage
of EXAR’s patented thin-film resistor process which exhibits ex-
cellent long term stability and reliability.
A standard µ-processor and TTL/CMOS compatible 12-bit in-
put data port loads the data into the pre-selected DACS.
This device can easily be interfaced to a data bus, and digital
readback of each channel is available.
Typical DAC matching is 0.7 LSB across all codes. Accuracy
of +0.75 LSB for DNL and +1 LSB for INL is achieved for B grade
versions. The output amplifier is capable of sinking and sourc-
ing 5mA, and the output voltage settles to 12-bits in less than
30µs (typ.).
