8.1 Application Information

The low-power consumption of the DAC8560, coupled with the ultra-low current power-down modes, makes the device a great choice for battery-operated and portable applications such as oscilloscopes and similar test and measurement equipment. In addition to the low-power requirement, these applications often require a bipolar output range for offset and gain calibration as described in the following sections.
