FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The DAC101C081 is a 10-bit, single channel, voltage-
output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that operates
from a +2.7V to 5.5V supply. The output amplifier
allows rail-to-rail output swing and has an 6µsec
settling time. The DAC101C081 uses the supply
voltage as the reference to provide the widest
dynamic output range and typically consumes 132µA
while operating at 5.0V. It is available in 6-lead SOT
and WSON packages and provides three address
options (pin selectable).

Very Small Package
As an alternative, the DAC101C085 provides nine
I2C™ addressing options and uses an external
reference. It has the same performance and settling
time as the DAC101C081. It is available in an 8-lead
VSSOP.
DAC101C081Q is AEC Q100 Grade 1 Qualified
and Manufactured on Automotive Grade Flow
KEY SPECIFICATIONS
The DAC101C081 and DAC101C085 use a 2-wire,
I2C™-compatible serial interface that operates in all
three speed modes, including high speed mode
(3.4MHz). An external address selection pin allows up
to three DAC101C081 or nine DAC101C085 devices
per 2-wire bus. Pin compatible alternatives to the
DAC101C081 are available that provide additional
address options.

The DAC101C081 and DAC101C085 each have a
16-bit register that controls the mode of operation, the
power-down condition, and the output voltage. A
power-on reset circuit ensures that the DAC output
powers up to zero volts. A power-down feature
reduces power consumption to less than a microWatt.
Their low power consumption and small packages
make these DACs an excellent choice for use in
battery operated equipment. Each DAC operates over
the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C
to +125°C.
