DESCRIPTION
The WM2623 is an 8-bit voltage output, resistor string digital-to-
analogue converter. It can operate with supply voltages
between 2.7V and 5.5V and can be powered down under
software control. Power down reduces current consumption to
less than 1
μ
A.
The device has been designed for glueless interface to industry
standard microprocessors and DSPs, including the TMS320
family. The WM2623 is programmed with a 16-bit serial word
including 4 control bits and 8 data bits.
Excellent performance is delivered with a typical DNL of
0.2LSBs. Monotonicity is guaranteed over the operating
temperature range. The settling time of the DAC is
programmable to allow for optimisation of speed versus power
dissipation. The output stage is buffered by a rail-to-rail amplifier
with a gain of two, which features a Class AB output stage.
The reference voltage input features a high impedance buffer
which eliminates the need to keep the reference source
impedance low.
The WM2623 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package.
Commercial (0

temperature range variants are available.
