The DAC8143 is a 12-bit serial-input, daisy-chain digital-to-analog converter. It was designed for multiple serial DAC systems where serial daisy-chaining one DAC after another is greatly simplified. The daisy chain feature saves address-decoding lines enabling simpler logic interfacing in multiple package DAC designs.

The DAC8143 is ideal for data acquisition and process control systems offering the user a wide flexibility in output voltage ranges through choices of external references and output I-to-V converter op amps.
