Hrm.  Interesting.  The MCP4822 has an INL of +-2 lsb which is why I said
that the specs werent that far different from the MAX525.

Oh wait, I'm a cracksmoking monkey again.  the MAX525A is +-0.25 typical.
*sigh* Never mind.

Wish I could find a tolerable 12bit DAC in the $5 range.  Suggestions?
I can already hear Paul S. laughing...
