Hi Grant,

If that approach (two 8-bit DACs) gives you the required accuracy, then you
might want to check out the TI TLC7528CN (PDIP 20) or TLC7528CDW (SOIC 20).
This is a dual 8-bit MDAC with data latches (and good matching between the
two converters). The A and B DACs have separate ref voltage inputs, so you
could set up a different voltage range for the 'high order' and 'low order'
bytes. Input is 8-bit parallel.
