SPT5400
13-BIT, OCTAL VOLTAGE-OUTPUT DAC
WITH PARALLEL INTERFACE
FEATURES
• Full 13-bit performance without external adjustments
• Eight DACs in one package
• Buffered voltage outputs
• Guaranteed monotonic to 13 bits
• Unipolar or bipolar output swing to ±4.5 V
• Output settling time of 7 µs to ±1/2 LSB
• Double-buffered digital inputs
DESCRIPTION
The SPT5400 has eight 13-bit voltage output digital-toanalog converters on one chip. It operates from ±5 V
power supplies and has maximum voltage output swings
of up to ±4.5 V without the addition of external components. Novel circuit topology allows for a guaranteed
monotonicity of 13 bits without the need for additional
circuitry. The SPT5400 has four separate reference voltage inputs, one for each pair of DACs. Four separate

APPLICATIONS
• Automatic test equipment
• Flat-panel displays
• Arbitrary function generators
• Instrumentation
• Process control
analog ground pins allow for separate offset voltages for
each DAC pair. Each DAC can be asynchronously loaded
through a common 13-bit bus into a double-buffered set
of latches. All logic inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible.
The SPT5400 is available in a 44-lead PLCC package
over the commercial temperature range of 0 °C to
+70 °C.
