DESCRIPTION
The SPT5400 has eight 13-bit voltage output digital-to-
analog converters on one chip. It operates from
±5
V
power supplies and has maximum voltage output swings
of up to
±4.5
V without the addition of external compo-
nents. Novel circuit topology allows for a guaranteed
monotonicity of 13 bits without the need for additional
circuitry. The SPT5400 has four separate reference volt-
age inputs, one for each pair of DACs. Four separate
analog ground pins allow for separate offset voltages for
each DAC pair. Each DAC can be asynchronously loaded
through a common 13-bit bus into a double-buffered set
of latches. All logic inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible.
The SPT5400 is available in a 44-lead PLCC package
over the commercial temperature range of 0
°C
to
+70
°C.
