DESCRIPTION:

Maxwell Technologies’ 7846A 16-Bit DAC converter microcircuit features a greater than 100 krad (Si) total dose tolerance, depending upon space mission. The 7846A has VREF+ and VREF- reference inputs and an on-chip output amplifier which gives the option of unipolar or bipolar output. The 7846A uses a segmented architecture.
