FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The DAC121S101 is a full-featured, general purpose
12-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) that can operate from a single +2.7V to 5.5V
supply and consumes just 177 µA of current at 3.6
Volts. The on-chip output amplifier allows rail-to-rail
output swing and the three wire serial interface
operates at clock rates up to 30 MHz over the
specified supply voltage range and is compatible with
standard SPI™, QSPI, MICROWIRE and DSP
interfaces. Competitive devices are limited to 20 MHz
clock rates at supply voltages in the 2.7V to 3.6V
range.

Small Packages
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.
The low power consumption and small packages of
the DAC121S101 make it an excellent choice for use
in battery operated equipment.
The DAC121S101 is a direct replacement for the
AD5320 and the DAC7512 and is one of a family of
pin
compatible
DACs,
including
the
8-bit
DAC081S101 and the 10-bit DAC101S101. The
DAC121S101 operates over the extended industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +105°C while the
DAC121S101Q operates over the Grade
1
automotive temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.
The DAC121S101 is available in a 6-lead SOT and
an 8-lead VSSOP and the DAC121S101Q is
available in the 6-lead SOT only.
