Working Principles

The DAC8221AW/883C operates by converting digital input data into corresponding analog output voltages. The digital data is provided through the DB15-DB0 pins, while the WR pin controls the conversion process. The CS pin selects the DAC for operation, and the LDAC pin loads the converted value into the output register. The CLR pin clears the output register, and the A0-A4 pins are used for address selection.
