DAC8512是一款完整的串行输入、12位电压输出
Digital-to-analog converters，采用+5 V单电源供电，它内置DAC、输入移位寄存器和锁存器、基准电压源以及一个轨到轨输出放大器。这些单芯片DAC采用CBCMOS工艺制造，适合仅有+5 V电源的系统，具有成本低、易于使用的特点。
The encoding method of DAC8512 is standard binary, and MSB is loaded first. The output op-amp can swing up to any supply rail and is set to a range of 0 V to +4.095 V with a resolution of 1 mV per user. It is capable of providing 5 mA of sink and source current. The on-chip reference is laser-tuned to provide a precision full-scale output voltage of 4.095 V.
The high-speed, three-wire serial interface is DSP-compatible and offers three pins: Data Input (SDI), Clock (CLK), and Load Strobe (LD). There is also a chip selection pin for connecting multiple DACs.
When powered on or requested by the user, the CLR input can set the output to zero.
The DAC8512 is rated for an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is available in both molded DIP and SO-8 surface mount packages.
