GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SPT5420 contains eight 13-bit digital-to-analog con-
verters designed primarily for automatic test equipment ap-
plications. It uses novel circuit topology to convert the 13-bit
digital inputs into output voltages which are proportionate to
the applied reference voltages. Each DAC’s full-scale out-
put voltage and output voltage offset are adjustable with
analog inputs.
The SPT5420 operates over an industrial temperature
range of –40 °C to +85 °C and is available in a 10 x 10 mm,
44-lead metric quad flat pack (MQFP) plastic package.
