GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA8776A is a 10-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter
(DAC) for high resolution video and other high frequency
applications. It converts the digital input signal into an
analog output voltage at a maximum conversion rate of
1000 Msps. No external reference voltage is required and
all digital inputs are 10K/100K-ECL compatible.
QUICK REFERENCE DATA
Notes
1. D0 to D9 connected to either HIGH or LOW level, CLK is HIGH and CLK is LOW.
2. The analog output voltages (VOUT and VOUT) are negative with respect to AGND (see Table 1). The external output
resistance between AGND and each of these outputs is typically 50
.
3. A warm-up time is necessary to reach optimal performances.
