The multiplying architecture lets the external reference be an AC signal, so this part doubles as a digitally controlled attenuator or gain stage in a signal chain — not just a fixed DC voltage source. ## Current output and external reference — the load resistor sets your voltage swing The output is a current sink/source without an internal buffer amplifier. The designer must add an external op-amp or a load resistor to convert the current to a voltage; the output compliance range limits how high the voltage can swing before the current output saturates. The external reference means the full-scale output current is set by an external voltage and resistor — the DAC's accuracy and temperature drift follow whatever reference you choose, not an internal bandgap. The 8-bit resolution yields 256 steps; the LSB size equals the full-scale current divided by 256, so the output granularity is coarse compared to higher-resolution parts. The parallel interface ties up eight GPIOs or a parallel port — deterministic and low-latency, but pin-hungry versus a serial SPI or I²C DAC. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 75°C — commercial grade only. Not rated for industrial enclosures or automotive under-hood ambient. The 16-SOIC narrow-body footprint (1.27 mm pitch) is hand-solderable and visible-inspection friendly, so rework or prototyping is straightforward.","metaTitle":"Texas Instruments DAC0808LCM/NOPB 8-Bit Multiplying DAC","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments DAC0808LCM/NOPB 8-bit multiplying DAC, current-unbuffered output, 150ns typical settling time, 16-SOIC package.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Discrete Semiconductors"],"specifications":{"Package":"Tube","Output Type":"Current - Unbuffered","Architecture":"Multiplying DAC","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Settling Time":"150ns (Typ)","Data Interface":"Parallel","Number of Bits":"8","Package / Case":"16-SOIC (0.154\\\", 3.90mm Width)","Reference Type":"External","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Differential Output":"No","Operating Temperature":"0°C ~ 75°C","Supplier Device Package":"16-SOIC","Number of D/A Converters":"1","Voltage - Supply, Analog":"±4.5V ~ 18V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.91","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.91000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$2.61200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$2.46440","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$2.09980","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.97160","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.72516","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.42941","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$1.39500","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/501983394d5c2bb60c1cdea14daa0bf8.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/DAC0808LCM%2FNOPB/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"How is the DAC0808LCM/NOPB quoted for volume purchases?","answer":"The DAC0808LCM/NOPB is sourced through authorized distribution channels.
