T he AD5300 is a single, 8-bit voltage out DAC that operates
from a single +2.7 V to +5.5 V supply. Its on-chip precision
output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be achieved.
T he AD5300 utilizes a versatile three-wire serial interface that
operates at clock rates up to 30 MHz and is compatible with
standard SPI , QSPI , MICROWIRE and DSP interface
standards.
T he reference for AD5300 is derived from the power supply
inputs and thus gives the widest dynamic output range. T he part
incorporates a power-on-reset circuit that ensures that the DAC
output powers up to zero volts and remains there until a valid
write takes place to the device. T he part contains a power-down
feature that reduces the current consumption of the device to
typically 200 nA at 5 V and provides software selectable output
loads while in power-down mode. T he part is put into power-
down mode over the serial interface.
T he low power consumption of this part in normal operation
makes it ideally suited to portable battery operated equipment.
T he power consumption is 0.7 mW at 5 V reducing to 1
μ
W in
power-down mode.
T he AD5300 is available in a 6-lead SOT -23 package and an
8-lead microSOIC package.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT S
1. Low power, single supply operation. T his part operates from
a single +2.7 V to +5.5 V supply and typically consumes
0.35 mW at 3 V and 0.7 mW at 5 V, making it ideal for
battery powered applications.
2. T he on-chip output buffer amplifier allows the output of the
DAC to swing rail-to-rail with a slew rate of 1 V/
μ
s.
3. Reference derived from the power supply.
4. High speed serial interface with clock speeds up to 30 MHz.
5. Power-down capability. When powered down the DAC
typically consumes 50 nA at 3 V and 200 nA at 5 V.
