Hybrid Systems DAC 349 Integrated Circuit (1976)

Items #981
This Lucite paperweight features a multi-chip D/A (digital to analog) converter from Hybrid Systems Corporation.
The DAC349 was a low cost,12-bit, CMOS DAC chip that came in a gold and ceramic DIP (dual-inline) packaging.
By the mid 1980's, hybrid Integrated circuits would transition to single chip monolithic integrated circuits.
In 1986, 95% of Hybrid Systems sales were to the Pentagon for military use.
