Custom solution from CSS
This ASIC is primarily an industrial grade, 10-bit digital-to-analog converter. It provides an output current that ranges from approximately 0mA to 2mA. It is fabricated in an advanced, high voltage BiCMOS process, allowing operation from ±5V to ±18V.
The output current has excellent linearity over temperature and is guaranteed monotonic. This device includes a matched feedback resistor for voltage applications. A full-scale adjustment and a bipolar offset are also provided.
