Overview
The DAC8413EP, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a quad, 12-bit voltage output Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) with readback capability. Built using a complementary BiCMOS process, this monolithic DAC offers high package density and versatility in various applications. The DAC8413EP is part of the DAC8412/DAC8413 series, differing primarily in the reset function, where the DAC8413 resets to minimum scale (Code 0x000) upon activation of the RESET pin.
