Frequently Asked Questions
How can I ensure the DAC outputs are properly initialized upon power-up?
The part includes a power-on reset circuit that ensures output starts at 0 V (POR pin low) or midscale (POR pin high).
What reference voltages and stability is the chip available in?
It offers an on-chip reference of either 1.25V or 2.5V, rated at 5 ppm/°C.
How can I minimize power consumption when the device is not actively used?
The power-down function drastically reduces current draw to 400 nA at 5 V and 200 nA at 3 V.
Is it possible for all four DAC channels to update their voltage simultaneously?
Yes, the outputs of all DACs can be updated simultaneously using a versatile 3-wire serial interface.
