We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "DAC",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release VGA integrates output driver and pre-amp from
Analog Devices, which we summarised at the time by saying "Digitally programmable variable gain amplifier is designed for driving signals over power lines, cables and other applications with low impedance".
The same day,
we featured the news release Low-glitch DACs reject transients from
Texas Instruments (April 2006-): "Multipurpose family of 16, 14 and 12bit DACs offers breakthrough multichannel performance with the combination of high accuracy, low power consumption and small footprint".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Green Hills Software
concerning its Software development package for 405EZ
- take a look at Development package supports Power Architecture
which says: "Toolkit includes RTOSs, compilers, integrated development environment, a virtual prototyping platform, static analyser and high-speed hardware debug probes".
Take a look also at the news release from Maxim Integrated Products, Voltage monitors preserve critical system data,
as well as Mobile audio device integrates power management from STMicroelectronics,
and Codec/power combo targets next-generation mobiles from Wolfson Microelectronics.
