DESCRIPTION
The WM2630 is an octal, 12-bit, resistor string digital-to-
analogue converter. The eight individual DACs contained in the
IC can be switched in pairs between fast and slow (low power)
operation modes, or powered down, under software control.
Alternatively, the whole device can be powered down, reducing
current consumption to less than 0.1
μ
A.
The DAC outputs are buffered by a rail-to-rail amplifier with a
gain of two, which is configurable as Class A (fast mode) or
Class AB (for low-power mode).
The WM2630 has been designed to interface directly to
industry standard microprocessors and DSPs, and can
operate on two separate analogue and digital power supplies. It
is programmed with a 16-bit serial word comprising 4 address
bits and up to 12 DAC or control register data bits. All eight
DACs can be simultaneously forced to a preset value using a
preset input pin.
A daisy-chain data output makes it possible to control several
of Wolfson’s octal DACs from the same interface, without
increasing the number of control lines.
The device is available in a 20-pin TSSOP package.
Commercial temperature (0° to 70°C) and Industrial
temperature (-40° to 85°C) variants are supported.
