DUAL 8-BIT MULTIPLYING
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTERS
SLAS062B – JANUARY 1987 – REVISED MARCH 2000
APPLICATION INFORMATION
voltage-mode operation
It is possible to operate the current multiplying D/A converter of these devices in a voltage mode. In the voltage
mode, a fixed voltage is placed on the current output terminal. The analog output voltage is then available at
the reference voltage terminal. Figure 11 is an example of a current multiplying D/A, that operates in the voltage
mode.
