Complete, Dual, 12-Bit
Multiplying DACs
_______________General Description
The MX7837/MX7847 are dual, 12-bit, multiplying, volt-
age-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Each
DAC has an output amplifier and a feedback resistor.
The output amplifier is capable of developing ±10V
across a 2kΩ load. The amplifier feedback resistor is
internally connected to V
OUT
on the MX7847. No exter-
nal trims are required to achieve full 12-bit performance
over the entire operating temperature range.
The MX7847 has a 12-bit parallel data input, whereas
the MX7837 operates with a double-buffered 8-bit-bus
interface that loads data in two write operations. All
logic signals are level triggered and are TTL and CMOS
compatible. Fast timing specifications make these
DACs compatible with most microprocessors.

Note 1:
If V
SS
is open-circuited with V
DD
and either AGND applied, the V
SS
pin will float positive exceeding the
Absolute Maximum Ratings.
If this possibility exists, a Schottky diode connected between V and GND ensures the maximum ratings will be observed.
SS
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 in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 2:
The analog outputs can swing to within 2.5V of the supply rails. Hence, for good linearity towards full-scale, |V
REFA
| and |V
REFB
| must
be at least 2.5V lower than V
DD
and |V
SS
|. Tests done with supply voltages below ±12.5V are done with V
REFA

REFB
= ±8.9V.
Note 3:
Static performance tested at V
DD

= -15V. Performance over supplies guaranteed by PSRR test.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by design.
