A/D, D/C Converters for Image Signal Processing
MN6556A, MN6556AS
Low Power 8-Bit CMOS D/A Converters for Image Processing
Overview
The MN6556A and MN6556AS are 8-bit CMOS digital-to-analog converters with a maximum conversion rate
of 20 MSPS.
They use both a matrix cell and weighted current technology to achieve a low power consumption of only 50
mW . Output has an amplitude of one volt abo ve the ground
level.
Features
Maximum conversion rate: 20 MSPS (min.)
Linearity error: ±0.3 LSB (typ.)
Differential linearity error: ±0.3 LSB (typ.)
Power supply voltage: 5.0±0.5 V
Power consumption: 50 mW (typ.)
Full scale current: 5 mA (typ.)
Applications
Digital television
Digital video equipment
Digital image processing equipment
Measuring instrument
