DESCRIPTION

The MAS9316 is a 16-bit, monolithic CMOS, multiplying digital-to-analog converter (DAC ) designed for direct microprocessor interface. Its high relative accuracy and monotonicity is achieved without laser trimming. This is made possible by the use of highly accurate, low TCR thin film resistor process and a 4 MSB to 15 decoding design technique. Hidden errors are eliminated by testing all the 65536 different input codes.The device offers advantages like high stability over time and temperature and low sensitivity to output amplifier offset combined to excellent performance-to-cost ratio. The fast input data latches are designed as two 8-bit segments providing data storage when latched or transparent operation when unlatched. All digital inputs have high ESD protection up to 2 kV.
