GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5821 is a single 10-bit digital-to-analog converter with
120 mA output current sink capability. It features an internal
reference and operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply.
The DAC is controlled via a 2-wire (I2C-compatible) serial
interface that operates at clock rates up to 400 kHz.
CONSUMER APPLICATIONS
Lens autofocus
Image stabilization
Optical zoom
Shutters
Iris/exposure
Neutral density (ND) filters
Lens covers
The AD5821 incorporates a power-on reset circuit that ensures
that the DAC output powers up to 0 V and remains there until
a valid write takes place. It has a power-down feature that reduces
the current consumption of the device to 1 μA maximum.
The AD5821 is designed for autofocus, image stabilization, and
optical zoom applications in camera phones, digital still cameras,
and camcorders.
Camera phones
Digital still cameras
Camera modules
Digital video cameras/camcorders
Camera-enabled devices
Security cameras
Web/PC cameras
The AD5821 also has many industrial applications, such as
controlling temperature, light, and movement, over the range of
−40°C to +85°C without derating.
The I2C address for the AD5821 is 0x18.
