DAC0800

Hello,

I need some help to program DAC0800 with Arduino.

Do you have any suggestion? Some links that I can learn more about?

Looking forward to your promptly reply,

Matheus

What is DAC0800?
do you have a datasheet?

Holy cow! I haven't seen one of those in forever :slight_smile:

I assume you mean one of the old National Semiconductor parallel 8-bit DAC's? I probably have a few in my junk box that are decades old and dusty. Why do you want to use a 30 year-old part?

Several useful documents here if this is the correct part

I should add that you should be able to get a pretty good DAC with the Arduino's analogWrite() function and an RC circuit.

Would you use one of those gated shift registers to set the value on it?

On the DAC0800? Possibly, if I absolutely had no other recourse. It's 2015, I'd just find a serial DAC instead...

Here are some 8-bit SPI interface DACs, 1 and 2 channels, single 5V supply vs the dual supply needed for the DAC0800.

10 and 12 versions in same family are also available.
Lot of SMD parts out there too.
Was there some particular feature about the DAC0800 that you needed?

mago10 appears to have jumped to the Portuguese forum with his DAC0800 discussion.
