GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MP7636A is manufactured using advanced thin film
resistors on a double metal CMOS process. The MP7636A
incorporates a unique bit decoding technique yielding lower
glitch, higher speed and excellent accuracy over temperature
and time. 16-bit differential non-linearity is achieved with
minimal laser trim.
The MP7636A is packaged in a 20-pin 300 mil wide DIP and is
a direct 16-bit replacement for the 12-bit DAC1230 series. Full
pin-for-pin compatibility allows existing systems to be upgraded
to 16 bits without hardware modification.
The MP7636A provides 16-bit data loading through 8 input
data lines for direct interface to 8-bit data buses. All data loading
and data transfer operations are identical to the WRITE cycle of
a static RAM.
The MP7636A uses a unique circuit which significantly
reduces transients in the supplies during DATA bus transitions
at CS = 1.
