Octuple 6-bit DAC with I2C-bus
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8444 comprises eight digital-to-analogue
converters (DACs) each controlled via the two-wire
I2C-bus. The DACs are individually programmed using a
6-bit word to select an output from one of 64 voltage steps.
The maximum output voltage of all DACs is set by the input
V
and the resolution is approximately V
max
At power-on all DAC outputs are set to their lowest value.
The I2C-bus slave receiver has a 7-bit address of which 3
bits are programmable via pins A0, A1 and A2.
Features
• Eight discrete DACs

• I
• 16-pin DIL package.
