DAC7512N/250 Description

DAC7512N/250 developed by Texas Instruments is a type of 12-bit buffered voltage output Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). A power-on reset circuit is incorporated to ensure that the DAC output powers up at 0V and remains there until a valid write takes place in the device. The consumption of the device can be reduced to 50nA at 5V based on a power-down feature, accessed over the serial interface. It is able to deliver low power consumption in normal operation, making it ideally suitable for portable battery-operated equipment.
