PRODUCTION DATA
The three-channel DAC532A3W and the dual-channel DAC530A2W (DAC53xAxW) are a 10-bit, buffered voltage-output and current-output smart DACs. The DAC channel 2 acts as a current source. The DAC channel 1 is configurable as voltage output or comparator input. The DAC outputs are changed to Hi-Z when VDD is off; a feature useful in voltage-margining applications. This smart DAC contains NVM, an internal reference, automatically detectable I2C or SPI, force-sense output, and a general-purpose input. This device supports Hi-Z power-down modes by default, which can be configured to 10 kΩ-GND or 100 kΩ-GND for voltage-output channels using the NVM. The DAC53xAxW has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that makes sure all the registers start with default or user-programmed settings using NVM. The DAC53xAxW operates with either an internal reference or with a power supply as the reference.
The DAC53xAxW supports I2C standard mode (100kbps), fast mode (400kbps), and fast-mode plus (1Mbps). The I2C interface can be configured with four target addresses using the A0 pin. SPI mode supports a 3-wire interface by default with up to 50-MHz SCLK input. The GPIO/SDO input can be configured as SDO in the NVM for SPI read capability. The GPIO/SDO input can alternatively be configurable as LDAC, PD, STATUS, FAULT-DUMP, RESET, and PROTECT functions.
The DAC53xAxW also include digital slew rate control, and supports standard waveform generation such as sine, cosine, triangular, and sawtooth waveforms. These devices can generate pulse-width modulation (PWM) output with the combination of the triangular or sawtooth waveform and the FB1 pin. The force-sense outputs of channel 1 can be used as a programmable comparator. The comparator mode allows programmable hysteresis, latching comparator, window comparator, and fault-dump to the NVM. These features enable the DAC53xAxW to go beyond the limitations of a conventional DAC that depends on a processor to function. As a result of processor-less operation and the smart feature set, the DAC53xAxW is called a smart DAC.
