DESCRIPTION
The WM2627 is a quadruple 8-bit voltage output, resistor string,
digital-to-analogue converter. Each DAC can be individually
powered down under software control. A hardware controlled
mode is provided that powers down all DACs. Power down
reduces current consumption to 1
μ
A.
The device has been designed to interface efficiently to industry
standard microprocessors and DSPs. It is programmed with a
16-bit serial word comprising of a DAC address, individual DAC
control bits and an 8-bit value.
The WM2627 has provision for two supplies: one supply for the
serial interface (DVDD, DGND), and one for the DACs,
reference buffers and output buffers (AVDD, AGND). This
enables a typical application where the device can be controlled
via a microprocessor operating on a 3V supply, with the DACs
operating on a 5V supply. Alternatively, the supplies can be tied
together in a single supply application.
Excellent performance is delivered with a typical DNL of
±
0.03
LSB. The settling time of the DAC is programmable to allow the
designer to optimize speed versus power dissipation. The
output stage is buffered by a x2 gain near rail-to-rail amplifier,
which features a Class AB output stage. DACs A and B can
have a different reference voltage to DACs C and D.
The device is available in a 16-pin TSSOP package.
