The DAC0800 series are monolithic 8-bit high-speed
current-output digital-to-analog converters (DAC) featuring
typical settling times of 100 ns. When used as a multiplying
DAC, monotonic performance over a 40 to 1 reference current range is possible. The DAC0800 series also features
high compliance complementary current outputs to allow differential output voltagesof20Vp-p with simple resistor loads

Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. DC and AC electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device beyond its specified operating conditions.
Note 3: The maximum junction temperature of the DAC0800 and DAC0802 is 125˚C. For operating at elevated temperatures, devices in the Dual-In-Line J package
must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 100˚C/W,junction-to-ambient, 175˚C/W for the molded Dual-In-Line N package and 100˚C/W for the Small Outline
M package.
Note 4: Human body model, 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor.
