DAC8551
SLAS429B–APRIL 2005–REVISED OCTOBER 2006
16-BIT, ULTRA-LOW GLITCH, VOLTAGE OUTPUT
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
Relative Accuracy: 3LSB
The DAC8551 is a small, low-power, voltage output,
16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). It is
monotonic, provides good linearity, and minimizes
undesired code-to-code transient voltages. The
DAC8551 uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that
operates at clock rates to 30MHz and is compatible
with standard SPI™, QSPI™, Microwire™, and
digital signal processor (DSP) interfaces.
Glitch Energy: 0.1nV-s
MicroPower Operation:
140µA at 2.7V

Power-On Reset to Zero
Power Supply: +2.7V to +5.5V
16-Bit Monotonic Over Temperature
Settling Time: 10µs to ±0.003% FSR
The DAC8551 requires an external reference voltage
to set its output range. The DAC8551 incorporates a
power-on-reset circuit that ensures the DAC output
powers up at 0V and remains there until a valid write
takes place to the device. The DAC8551 contains a
power-down feature, accessed over the serial
interface, that reduces the current consumption of
the device to 200nA at 5V.

Power-Down Capability
Binary Input
The low-power consumption of this device in normal
operation makes it ideally suited for portable, battery-
operated equipment. The power consumption is
0.38mW at 2.7V, reducing to less than 1µW in
power-down mode.
SYNC Interrupt Facility
Drop-In Compatible With DAC8531/01
and DAC8550 (2's Complement Input)
•
Available in a Tiny MSOP-8 Package
The DAC8551 is available in an MSOP-8 package.
APPLICATIONS
For additional flexibilty, see the DAC8550, a 2's
complement-input counterpart to the DAC8551.
