This is particularly useful in multiple DAC systems where a common LDAC signal updates all DACs at the same time. A single RESET pin resets both outputs to zero. The DAC8248’s monolithic construction offers excellent DACto-DAC matching and tracking over the full operating temperature range. The DAC consists of two thin-film R-2R resistor ladder networks, two 12-bit, two 8-bit, and two 4-bit data registers, and control logic circuitry. Separate reference input and feedback resistors are provided for each DAC. The DAC8248 (continued on page 4) The DAC8248 is a ...
