DAC8248FP [Analog Devices]

The DAC8248 is a dual 12-bit, double-buffered, CMOS digital-to-analog converter with an 8-bit wide input data port that interfaces directly with 8-bit microprocessors. It loads a 12-bit word in two bytes using a single control, accepting either least significant or most significant byte first. The device operates on a single supply from +5 V to +15 V, dissipates less than 0.5 mW at +5 V, and is packaged in a space-saving 0.3-inch 24-pin DIP. It features excellent DAC-to-DAC matching and tracking over the full operating temperature range, with two thin-film R-2R resistor ladder networks, data registers, and control logic circuitry.
