DAC121S101QML
12-Bit Micro Power Digital-to-Analog Converter with Rail-
to-Rail Output
General Description
Features
The DAC121S101 is a full-featured, general purpose 12-bit
voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that can op-
erate from a single +2.7 V to 5.5 V supply and consumes just
177 µA of current at 3.6 V. The on-chip output amplifier allows
rail-to-rail output swing and the three wire serial interface op-
erates at clock rates up to 20 MHz over the specified supply
voltage range and is compatible with standard SPI™, QSPI,
MICROWIRE and DSP interfaces.

The supply voltage for the DAC121S101 serves as its voltage
reference, providing the widest possible output dynamic
range. A power-on reset circuit ensures that the DAC output
powers up to zero volts and remains there until there is a valid
write to the device. A power-down feature reduces power
consumption to less than a microWatt.
