The AD7545 is a low-cost monolithic 12-bit, CMOS multiplying DAC with on-board data latches. Data is loaded in a single 12-bit wide word which allows interfacing directly to most 12-bit and 16-bit bus systems. Loading of the input latches is under the control of the CS and WR inputs. A logic low on these control inputs makes the input latches transparent allowing direct unbuffered operation of the DAC.
