DAC8552
SLAS430–JULY 2006
16-BIT, DUAL CHANNEL, ULTRA-LOW GLITCH VOLTAGE OUTPUT
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
Relative Accuracy: 4LSB
The DAC8552 is a 16-bit, dual channel, voltage
output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) offering low
power operation and a flexible serial host interface.
Each on-chip precision output amplifier allows
rail-to-rail output swing to be achieved over the
supply range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The device supports a
standard 3-wire serial interface capable of operating
with input data clock frequencies up to 30MHz for
VDD = 5V.
Glitch Energy: 0.15nV-s
MicroPower Operation:
155µA per Channel at 2.7V

Power-On Reset to Zero-Scale
Power Supply: 2.7V to 5.5V
16-Bit Monotonic Over Temperature
Settling Time: 10µs to ±0.003% FSR
Ultra-Low AC Crosstalk: –100dB Typ
The DAC8552 requires an external reference voltage
to set the output range of each DAC channel. Also
incorporated into the device is a power-on reset
circuit which ensures that the DAC outputs power up
at zero-scale and remain there until a valid write
takes place. The DAC8552 provides a flexible
power-down feature, accessed over the serial
interface, that reduces the current consumption of
the device to 700nA at 5V.
Low-Power Serial Interface With
Schmitt-Triggered Inputs

On-Chip Output Buffer Amplifier With
Rail-to-Rail Operation

•
Double-Buffered Input Architecture
Simultaneous or Sequential Output Update
and Powerdown
The low-power consumption of this device in normal
operation makes it ideally suited for portable
battery-operated equipment and other low-power
applications. The power consumption is 0.5mW per
channel at 2.7V, reducing to 1µW in power-down
mode.
