DESCRIPTION
The DAC121S101 is a full-featured, general purpose
23
DAC121S101Q is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified
12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter
and is manufactured on an Automotive Grade
(DAC) that can operate from a single +2.7V to 5.5V

voltage reference, providing the widest possible
output dynamic range. A power-on reset circuit

the DAC121S101 make it an excellent choice for use
Automotive
in battery operated equipment.
The DAC121S101 is a direct replacement for the
AD5320 and the DAC7512 and is one of a family of
pin compatible DACs, including the 8-bit
DAC081S101 and the 10-bit DAC101S101. The
DAC121S101 operates over the extended industrial
temperature range of 40°C to +105°C while the
DAC121S101Q operates over the Grade 1
automotive temperature range of 40°C to +125°C.
The DAC121S101 is available in a 6-lead SOT and
an 8-lead VSSOP and the DAC121S101Q is
available in the 6-lead SOT only.
