GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5686R/AD5685R/AD5684R, members of the
nanoDAC+® family, are low power, quad, 16-/14-/12-bit
buffered voltage output DACs. The devices include a 2.5 V,
2 ppm/°C internal reference (enabled by default) and a gain
select pin giving a full-scale output of 2.5 V (gain = 1) or 5 V
(gain = 2). All devices operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V
supply, are guaranteed monotonic by design, and exhibit less
than 0.1% FSR gain error and 1.5 mV offset error performance.
The devices are available in a 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP and a
TSSOP package.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. High Relative Accuracy (INL).
AD5686R (16-bit): 2 LSB maximum
AD5685R (14-bit): 1 LSB maximum
AD5684R (12-bit): 1 LSB maximum
2. Low Drift 2.5 V On-Chip Reference.
2 ppm/°C typical temperature coefficient
5 ppm/°C maximum temperature coefficient
3. Two Package Options.
The AD5686R/AD5685R/AD5684R also incorporate a power-
on reset circuit and a RSTSEL pin that ensures that the DAC
outputs power up to zero scale or midscale and remains there
until a valid write takes place. Each part contains a per-channel
power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of
the device to 4 μA at 3 V while in power-down mode.
The AD5686R/AD5685R/AD5684R employ a versatile SPI
interface that operates at clock rates up to 50 MHz, and all
devices contain a VLOGIC pin intended for 1.8 V/3 V/5 V logic.
