Description
The CA3338 family are CMOS/SOS high speed R2R voltage
output digital-to-analog converters. They can operate from a
single +5V supply, at video speeds, and can produce
“rail-to-rail” output swings. Internal level shifters and a pin for
an optional second supply provide for an output range below
digital ground. The data complement control allows the inversion of input data while the latch enable control provides
either feedthrough or latched operation. Both ends of the
R2R ladder network are available externally and may be
modulated for gain or offset adjustments. In addition, “glitch”
energy has been kept very low by segmenting and thermometer encoding of the upper 3 bits.
The CA3338 is manufactured on a sapphire substrate to give
low dynamic power dissipation, low output capacitance, and
inherent latch-up resistance.
