Relative Accuracy: 12 LSB (Max)
The DAC8554 is a 16-bit, quad channel, voltage
output, digital-to-analog converter (DAC), offering
Glitch Energy: 0.15 nV-s
low-power operation and
a flexible serial host
Power Supply: +2.7 V to +5.5 V
MicroPower Operation: 850 µA at 5 V
16-Bit Monotonic Over Temperature
Settling Time: 10 µs to ±0.003% FSR
Ultra-Low AC Crosstalk: –100 dB Typ
Power-On Reset to Zero-Scale
interface. It offers monotonicity, good linearity, and
exceptionally low glitch. Each on-chip precision out-
put amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be
achieved over the supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The
device supports a standard 3-wire serial interface
capable of operating with input data clock frequencies
up to 50 MHz for IOVDD = 5 V.
On-Chip Output Buffer Amplifier With
Rail-to-Rail Operation
The DAC8554 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 DAC8554 provides a per channel
power-down feature, accessed over the serial
interface, that reduces the current consumption to
200 nA per channel at 5 V.

16-Channel Broadcast Capability
Schmitt-Triggered Inputs
SPI Compatible Serial Interface: Up to 50 MHz
1.8 V to 5.5 V Logic Compatibility
Available in a TSSOP-16 Package
The low-power consumption of this device in normal
operation makes it ideally suited to portable battery-
operated equipment and other low-power appli-
cations. The power consumption is 4.25 mW at 5 V,
reducing to 4 µW in power-down mode.
