TLV5618AM / 5962-9955701Qx A SGYV073, October 1999
TLV5618AM, 2.7-V TO 5.5-V LOW POWER DUAL 12-BIT DC WITH POWER DOWN
HIGHLIGHTS
The TLV5618AM is a dual 12-bit voltage output DAC with a flexible 3-wire serial interface. The serial interface is compatible with SMJ320 DSPs, SPITM, QSPITM, and Microwire TM serial ports. It is programmed with a 16-bit serial string containing 4 control and 12 data bits.
The resistor string output voltage is buffered by an x2 gain rail-to-rail output buffer. The buffer features a Class-AB output stage to improve stability and reduce settling time. The programmable settling time of the DAC allows the designer to optimize speed versus power dissipation.
Implemented with a CMOS process, the device is designed for single supply operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The TLV5618AM is characterized for operation from -55°C to 125°C.
