a
Quad 8-Bit Voltage Out CMOS DAC
Complete with Internal 10 V Reference
DAC8426
offering a 25 ppm/°C temperature coefficient and 5 mA of exter-
nal load driving capability.
The DAC8426 contains four 8-bit voltage-output CMOS D/A
converters on a single chip. A 10 V output bandgap reference
sets the output full-scale voltage. The circuit also includes four
input latches and interface control logic.
One of the four latches, selected by the address inputs, is loaded
from the 8-bit data bus input when the write strobe is active
low. All digital inputs are TTL/CMOS (5 V) compatible. The
on-board amplifiers can drive up to 10 mA from either a single
or dual supply. The on-board reference that is always connected
to the internal DACs has 5 mA available to drive external devices.
Its compact size, low power, and economical cost-per-channel,
make the DAC8426 attractive for applications requiring mul-
tiple D/A converters without sacrificing circuit-board space. Sys-
tem reliability is also increased due to reduced parts count.
PMI’s advanced oxide-based, silicon-gate, CMOS process al-
lows the DAC8426’s analog and digital circuitry to be manufac-
tured on the same chip. This, coupled with PMI’s highly stable
thin-film R-2R resistor ladder, aids in matching and tempera-
ture tracking between DACs.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DAC8426 is a complete quad voltage output D/A converter
with internal reference. This product fits directly into any exist-
ing 7226 socket where the user currently has a 10 V external
reference. The external reference is no longer necessary. The
internal reference of the DAC8426 is laser-trimmed to

NOTE
Electrical tests are performed at wafer probe to the limits shown. Due to variations in assembly methods and normal yield loss, yield after packaging is not guaranteed
for standard product dice. Consult factory to negotiate specifications based on dice lot qualifications through sample lot assembly and testing.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the DAC8426 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
