DESCRIPTION
The WM2618 is a dual 12-bit voltage output, resistor string,
digital-to-analogue
converter.
ensures repeatable start-up conditions.
A
power-on-reset
function
The device has been designed to interface efficiently to industry
standard microprocessors and DSPs, including the TMS320
family. The WM2618 is programmed with a 16-bit serial word.
The WM2618 has a simple-to-use single 2.7V to 5.5V supply.
The digital inputs feature Schmitt triggers for high noise
immunity.
The number of clocks from the falling edge of NCS are counted
automatically. The device is then updated and disabled from
accepting further data inputs.
Excellent performance is delivered with a typical DNL of ±0.5
LSBs. The settling time of the DAC is programmable to allow
the designer to optimise speed versus power dissipation.
The device is available in an 8-pin SOIC package ideal for
space-critical applications. Commercial temperature (0° to
70°C) and Industrial temperature (-40° to 85°C) variants are
supported.
