DESCRIPTION

The DAC8165 is a low-power, voltage-output,

four-channel, 14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC).

The device includes a 2.5V, 2ppm/°C internal

reference (enabled by default), giving a full-scale

output voltage range of 2.5V. The internal reference

has an initial accuracy of 0.004% and can source up to 20mA at the VREFH/VREFOUT pin. The device is

monotonic, provides very good linearity, and

minimizes undesired code-to-code transient voltages

(glitch). The DAC8165 uses 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.

The DAC8165 incorporates a power-on-reset circuit

that ensures the DAC output powers up at either

zero-scale or mid-scale until a valid code is written to the device. The device contains a power-down

feature, accessed over the serial interface, that

reduces the current consumption of the device to

1.3μA at 5V. Power consumption is 2.6mW at 3V,

reducing to 1.4μW in power-down mode. The low

power consumption, internal reference, and small

footprint make this device ideal for portable,

battery-operated equipment.

The DAC8165 is drop-in and functionally compatible

with the DAC7565 and DAC8565, and functionally

compatible with the DAC7564, DAC8164 and

DAC8564. All these devices are available in a

TSSOP-16 package.
