How to read Voltage or Current DAC

[newbie06]

Hello,

I'm stuck trying to figure out whether the DAC chip below is voltage or a current one.

Could someone please shread some lights on how to read this? Thanks!!

I think I've figured out that this DAC is a voltage type because according to its datasheet, but still a little uncertain.

Anyone can confirm this for me? Thanks

I haven't looked at the data sheet but your figure says 'output amp' and 'Vout'. Definitely voltage out. And the datasheet should spell it out (like in 'voltage output DAC').

Thanks, Jan. That's a useful tip to know.
