Figure 2-3 Detailed Block Diagram
Each of the elements labeled “QUAD 12-bit DAC” consists of four 12-bit digital-to-
analog converters with output voltage buffers, individual high and low reference inputs
shared by all four DACs, double-buffered WRITE registers, and read-back gating. As
depicted in Figure 2-2, all eight DAC outputs have both direct connections, and series-
resistance connections (for applications with highly capacitive loads) to the I/O
connector. On the right side is the DAC128V’s I/O connector, providing sixteen DAC
analog outputs, four buffered reference outputs, two external power supply inputs, and 28
connections to the ground plane.
Figure 2-3 presents a detailed block diagram of the DAC128V. Again, on the left side is
