GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This broad family of digital-to-analog converters represents the
"state of the art" in modular, high speed, voltage and current
output devices. The family consists of a total of 11 devices in
4 series (MDS, MDSE, MDSL and MDH) that allow the user to
make engineering trade-offs between resolution, speed, output
and logic type. The first 3 are high compliance current output
unitS which make possible linear output swings greater than
:t1.5V. The voltage output MDH series contain a fast settling
hybrid operational amplifier which provides:t 10V output at
achieve ultra-high speed operation. In fact, it is the fastest 12-
bit D/A available, settling to 0.025% in 40ns. Hybrid construc-
tion eliminates the thermal lag problem inherent in 12-bit
D/A's constructed with discrete componentS. This in turn
means that the accuracy is maintained over the total frequency
range of operation, yielding superior results for frequency do-
main applications.
The MDS-1240 is particularly well suited for CRT display ap-
plications because of its unsurpassed speed and drive capa-
bilities. The high output current (ISmA) allows the use of low
:t5OmA. To simplify selection these major specifications are
summarized in Table 1.
