OVERVIEW
The S9418 DACPOT™ is a serial input, voltage output,
quad 8-bit digital to analog converter (DAC). The S9418
operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply. Internal
precision buffers swing rail-to-rail and the reference input
range includes both ground and the positive supply.
The S9418 integrates four 8-bit DACs and their associ-
ated circuits which include; an enhanced unity gain opera-
tional amplifier output, an 8-bit data latch, an 8-bit non-
volatile register and an industry standard serial interface
for reading and writing data to the DACs’ data latches and
registers. The DACs are independently programmable
and each has its own electrically isolated Vreference
inputs.
