16-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converter with Serial Data Interface

The DAC716 is a complete monolithic D/A converter including a +10V temperature compensated voltage reference, current-to-voltage amplifier, a high-speed synchronous serial interface, a serial output which allows cascading multiple converters, and an asynchronous clear function which immediately sets the output voltage to zero.

The output voltage range is 0 to +10V while operating from ±12V to ±15V supplies, and the gain and bipolar offset adjustments are designed so that they can be set via external potentiometers or external D/A converters. The output amplifier is protected against short-circuiting to ground.

The 16-pin DAC716 is available in a plastic 0.3" DIP and a wide-body plastic SOIC package. The DAC716P, U, PB, and UB are specified over the –40°C to +85°C range while the DAC716UK and PK are specified over the 0°C to +70°C range.
