GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The MP7626 is a CMOS 16-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter

(DAC) that is manufactured using advanced thin film resistors

on a double metal CMOS process. It incorporates a unique bit

decoding technique yielding lower glitch, higher speed and

excellent accuracy over temperature and time. 16 bit differential

non-linearity is achieved with minimal trimming.

Two 8-bit latches (MSB latch and LSB latch) hold the 16-bit

data which are converted by the DAC. A 16-bit bus can load

both latches in one cycle. An 8-bit bus loads one latch at a time.

By making the latches transparent (MSB latch = LSB latch =

High) the DAC will continuously convert the BIT1 - BIT16 inputs.
