MAS8444A
OCTAL 6-BIT TRIMMER IC
• Eight discrete DACs
• I²C-bus slave receiver
• Voltage output
DESCRIPTION
The MAS8444a comprises eight digital to analog
converters (DACs) each controlled by a two-wire I²C
bus. The DACs are individually programmed using an
6-bit word to select an output from one of 64 voltage
steps. The maximum output voltage of all DACs is set
by Vmax. At power-on all outputs are set to their lowest
value. The I²C-bus slave receiver has 3 programmable
address pins (2 in the SO16 package).
FEATURES
• Rail to rail output stages
• Octal 6-bit DACs on a single monolithic chip
• Power supply_¡ range from +5V to +12V
• -25 C to +85 C temperature range
• 16-pin PDIL and SO package
• pin to pin compatibility with TDA8444
APPLICATION
• Trimmer replacement
• Automatic gain control
• High resolution monitors
