DESCRIPTION
The DAC7568, DAC8168, and DAC8568 are
low-power, voltage-output, eight-channel, 12-, 14-,
and 16-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs),
respectively. These devices include a 2.5V, 2ppm/°C
internal reference (disabled by default), giving a
full-scale output voltage range of 2.5V or 5V. The
internal reference has an initial accuracy of 0.004%
and can source up to 20mA at the VREFIN/VREFOUT
pin. These devices are monotonic, providing excellent
linearity and minimizing undesired code-to-code
transient voltages (glitch). They use a versatile 3-wire
serial interface that operates at clock rates up to
50MHz. The interface is compatible with standard
SPI™, QSPI™, Microwire™, and digital signal
processor (DSP) interfaces.

On-Chip Output Buffer Amplifier with
Rail-to-Rail Operation
The DAC7568, DAC8168, and DAC8568 incorporate
a power-on-reset circuit that ensures the DAC output
powers up at either zero scale or midscale until a
valid code is written to the device. These devices
contain a power-down feature, accessed over the
serial interface, that reduces current consumption to
typically 0.18µA at 5V. Power consumption (including
internal reference) is typically 2.9mW at 3V, reducing
to less than 1µW in power-down mode. The low
power consumption, internal reference, and small
footprint make these devices ideal for portable,
battery-operated equipment.
