GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The MP7628 is a quad 8-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter de-

signed using a decoded DAC architecture featuring excellent

DAC-to-DAC matching and guaranteed monotonicity.

Separate on-chip latches are provided for each DAC to allow

easy microprocessor interface.

The readback function allows the user to poll or read the data

latches, eliminating the need for storing information in RAM. In

the event the microprocessor power supply is interrupted, it can

poll the DACs to establish the last known system state.

Data is transferred into any of the four DAC data latches via

common 8-bit TTL/CMOS compatible input port. Control inputs

DS1, DS2 and A/B determine which DAC is to be loaded. The

MP7628’s load cycle is similar to the write cycle of a random ac-

cess memory and the device is bus compatible with most 8-bit

microprocessors.

The device operates at +5 V power supply and dissipates

less than 5mW.

All DACs offer excellent four quadrant multiplication charac-

teristics with a separate reference input and feedback resistor

for each DAC.
