1.4 Device Information

The 16-bit DAC80516 and 12-bit DAC60516 are a pin-compatible family of low power, 16-channel, buffered voltage-output, digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The DAC80516 includes a 2.5V internal reference, eliminating the need for an external precision reference in most applications. A user-selectable gain configuration provides full-scale output voltages of 2.5V (gain = 1), or 5V (gain = 2). The device operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply.

Communication to the DAC80516 is performed through a serial interface that supports SPI and I2C communication (using a shared interface with auto-detect) and operates at clock rates of up to 50MHz for SPI, and 1Mhz for I2C (Fast Mode Plus). The VIO pin enables serial interface operation from 1.65V to 5.5V. The DAC80516 flexible interface enables operation with a wide range of industry-standard microprocessors and microcontrollers.
