I'll volunteer! I can't believe I missed the similarity before. I guess I
never found the DAC312 in the "product selector" trees.
Not only does the block diagram look the same, the example applications
look the same. I'd say there's a 90% probability that it's a licensed 2nd
source for the 6012.
Anyway, I'll see what I can find on it, and as long as it's cheaper than
the surface mount AM6012 -> DIP boards that I did it's a win...
