18-Bit Monotonic Over Temperature Range
Relative Accuracy: ±2LSB Max
Low-Noise: 24nV/√Hz
The DAC9881 is an 18-bit, single-channel,
voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC). It
features 18-bit monotonicity, excellent linearity, very
low-noise, and fast settling time. The on-chip
precision output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output
swing to be achieved over the full supply range of
2.7V to 5.5V.

Single Power Supply: +2.7V to +5.5V
DAC Loading Control
The device supports a standard SPI serial interface
capable of operating with input data clock frequencies
up to 50MHz. The DAC9881 requires an external
reference voltage to set the output range of the DAC
channel. A programmable power-on reset circuit is
also incorporated into the device to ensure that the
DAC output powers up at zero-scale or midscale, and
remains there until a valid write command.

Midscale

Power-Down Mode
Unipolar Straight Binary or
Twos Complement Input Mode
Additionally, the DAC9881 has the capability to
function in either unipolar straight binary or twos
complement mode. The DAC9881 provides
low-power operation. To further save energy,
power-down mode can be achieved by accessing the
PDN pin, thereby reducing the current consumption to
25µA at 5V. Power consumption is 4mW at 5V,
reducing to 125µW in power-down mode.
