7.2.3 Precision, Low-Noise, DAC Buffer

The OPA4H838-SEP can be used for a precision DAC buffer, as shown in Figure 7-4, in conjunction with the DAC8830.

The OPA4H838-SEP provides an ultra-low drift, precision output buffer for the DAC. A wide range of DAC codes can be used in the linear region because the OPA4H838-SEP employs zero-crossover technology. A precise reference is essential for maximum accuracy because the DAC8830 is a 16-bit converter.
