DAC7641
DESCRIPTION
The DAC7641 is a 16-bit, voltage output digital-toanalog converter (DAC) with guaranteed 15-bit monotonic performance over the specified temperature range.
It accepts 16-bit parallel input data, has double-buffered
DAC input logic (allowing asynchronous update), and
provides a readback mode of the internal input registers.
Programmable asynchronous reset clears all registers to
a mid-scale code of 8000H or to a zero-scale of 0000H.
The DAC7641 can operate from a single +5V supply or
from +5V and –5V supplies.
Low power and small size per DAC make the DAC7641
ideal for automatic test equipment, DAC-per-pin
programmers, data acquisition systems, and closedloop servo-control. The DAC7641 is available in a
TQFP-32 package, and offers guaranteed specifications over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range.

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

20 RST Reset, rising-edge triggered. Depending on the state
of RSTSEL, the DAC registers are set to either midscale or zero.
21 RSTSEL Reset Select. Determines the action of RST. If
HIGH, a RST command will set the DAC registers to
mid-scale. If LOW, a RST command will set the DAC
registers to zero.
