DAC0800LCN selection and design context
DAC0800LCN is cataloged as a Digital-to-Analog Converter in the DAC0800 family. Its recorded function is 8-bit high-speed multiplying digital-to-analog converter with complementary current outputs. Selection should be based on the complete electrical limits, package drawing and ordering suffix rather than the abbreviated family code.
- Resolution: 8 bit. Use the worst-case datasheet limit rather than a typical headline value.
- Settling Time: 100 ns typical. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
- Output Type: Complementary current outputs. Confirm the value and its datasheet test conditions for the exact ordering suffix.
- Reference Current: 0 mA to 4.5 mA. Check steady-state, transient and thermal margin in the intended operating mode.
Application and qualification considerations
When evaluating this power device, confirm input range, output requirements, switching frequency, compensation, current limit, efficiency and thermal design. For a new design, review power-up behavior, interface timing, absolute maximum ratings, thermal limits and any external-component requirements in the latest manufacturer documentation. Existing-board replacement work should additionally confirm pinout, footprint, firmware assumptions and qualification grade.
Procurement checks for DAC0800LCN
The recorded package is 16-pin PDIP, the temperature range is 0°C to +70°C, and the lifecycle status is Production as of 2026-07-19. Before ordering, confirm the exact MPN on the label, packing format, quantity, date-code requirements, traceability documents and current factory status.
