GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD7841 contains eight 14-bit DACs on one monolithic

chip. It has output voltages with a full-scale range of

±10 V

from reference voltages of

±5 V.

The AD7841 accepts 14-bit parallel loaded data from the exter-

nal bus into one of the input registers under the control of the

WR, CS, and DAC channel address pins, A0–A2.

The DAC outputs are updated on reception of new data into

the DAC registers. All the outputs may be updated simulta-

neously by taking the

LDAC input low.

Each DAC output is buffered with a gain-of-two amplifier into

which an external DAC offset voltage can be inserted via the

DUTGNDx pins.

The AD7841 is available in a 44-lead MQFP package.
