•
Micropower Operation: 950 µA at 5 V VDD
Power-On Reset to Zero
+2.7 V to +5.5 V Analog Power Supply
16-Bit Monotonic
Settling Time: 10µs to ±0.003% FSR
I2C™ Interface Up to 3.4 Mbps
The DAC8574 is a low-power, quad channel, 16-bit
buffered voltage output DAC. Its on-chip precision out-
put amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be
achieved. The DAC8574 utilizes an I2C compatible two
wire serial interface supporting high-speed interface
mode with address support of up to sixteen DAC8574 s
for a total of 64 channels on the bus.

On-Chip Output Buffer Amplifier, Rail-to-Rail
Operation
Double-Buffered Input Register
Address Support for up to Sixteen DAC8574s
The DAC8574 requires an external reference voltage
to set the output range of the DAC. The DAC8574
incorporates a power-on-reset circuit that ensures that
the DAC output powers up at zero volts and remains
there until a valid write takes place to the device. The
DAC8574 contains a power-down feature, accessed
via the internal control register, that reduces the current
consumption of the device to 200 nA at 5 V.

Synchronous Update Support for up to 64
Channels

•
Operation From -40°C to 105°C
Small 16 Lead TSSOP Package
The low power consumption of this part in normal
operation makes it ideally suited to portable battery
operated equipment. The power consumption is less
than 5 mW at VDD = 5 V reducing to 1 µW in
power-down mode.
