Key Features
- 14-bit resolution with ultra-low glitch for precision voltage output in sensitive applications
- Octal (8-channel) output configuration maximizes channel density in space-constrained designs
- Integrated 2.5V, 2ppm/°C internal reference eliminates external reference components and reduces BOM cost
- Serial (SPI-compatible) input interface simplifies MCU interfacing and reduces pin count
- Wide output voltage range up to 5.5V supports diverse analog system requirements
Applications
The DAC8168ICPW is well-suited for industrial process control, automated test equipment (ATE), and precision instrumentation where multiple simultaneous analog outputs are required. Its ultra-low glitch performance and high 14-bit resolution make it ideal for programmable logic controllers (PLCs), medical devices, and data acquisition systems. The integrated internal reference further simplifies designs in battery-powered and portable applications requiring stable, low-drift voltage outputs.
