Bipolar Output: Up to ± 16V
The DAC8234 is a high-accuracy, quad-channel,
14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that operates
Unipolar Output: 0V to +20V
from supply voltages of ± 5V to ± 18V in bipolar output

mode, and from ± 5V to +24V/ 12V in unipolar mode.
Relative Accuracy: 0.5 LSB Max
With a 5V reference, the DAC8234 can be configured
Low Zero and Gain Errors to output ± 10V, ± 5V, 0V to 20V, or 0V to 10V. The
