DAC8043FZ Datasheet, PDF (9/16 Pages) Analog Devices – 12-Bit Serial Input Multiplying CMOS Digital-to-Analog Converter

TERMINOLOGY
Integral Nonlinearity (INL)
This is the single most important DAC specification. Analog
Devices, Inc., measures INL as the maximum deviation of
the analog output (from the ideal) from a straight line drawn
between the end points. It is expressed as a percent of full-scale
range or in terms of LSBs.
Refer to the Analog Devices Glossary of EE Terms for
additional digital-to-analog converter definitions.
DAC8043
Interface Logic Information
The DAC8043 has been designed for ease of operation. The
timing diagram (see Figure 12) illustrates the input register
loading sequence. Note that the most significant bit (MSB)
is loaded first.
Once the input register is full, the data is transferred to the
DAC register by taking LD momentarily low.
