description
The TLC7226C and TLC7226E consist of four 8-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with
output buffer amplifiers and interface logic on a single monolithic chip.
Separate on-chip latches are provided for each of the four DACs. Data is transferred into one of these data
latches through a common 8-bit TTL/CMOS-compatible 5-V input port. Control inputs A0 and A1 determine
which DAC is loaded when WR
Each DAC includes an output buffer amplifier capable of sourcing up to 5 mA of output current.
goes low. The control logic is speed compatible with most 8-bit microprocessors.
The TLC7226 performance is specified for input reference voltages from 2 V to V
– 4 V with dual supplies.
DD
The voltage mode configuration of the DACs allows the TLC7226 to be operated from a single power supply
rail at a reference of 10 V.
The TLC7226 is fabricated in a LinBiCMOS process that has been specifically developed to allow high-speed
digital logic circuits and precision analog circuits to be integrated on the same chip. The TLC7226 has a common
8-bit data bus with individual DAC latches. This provides a versatile control architecture for simple interface to
microprocessors. All latch-enable signals are level triggered.
Combining four DACs, four operational amplifiers, and interface logic into either a 0.3-inch wide, 20-terminal
dual-in-line IC (DIP) or a small 20-terminal small-outline IC (SOIC) allows a dramatic reduction in board space
requirements and offers increased reliability in systems using multiple converters. The pinout is aimed at
optimizing board layout with all of the analog inputs and outputs at one end of the package and all of the digital
inputs at the other.
The TLC7226C is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The TLC7226E is characterized for operation
from –25°C to 85°C.

†
Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
‡
The VSS terminal is connected to the substrate and must be tied to the most negative supply voltage applied to the device.
NOTES: 1. Output voltages may be shorted to AGND provided that the power dissipation of the package is not exceeded. Typically sh ort circuit
current to AGND is 60 mA.
2. For operation above TA = 75°C, derate linearly at the rate of 2 mW/°C.
