The DAC8234 has integrated reference buffers and output buffers. It features a standard high-speed 1.8V, 3V, or 5V serial peripheral interface (SPI) that operates at clock rates of up to 50MHz to communicate with a DSP or microprocessor. The four DAC channels and the auxiliary registers are addressed with four address bits. The device features double-buffered interface logic for simultaneous updates of all DACs. An asynchronous load input (LDAC) transfers data from the input data register to the DAC latch, and the contents of the DAC latch set the output voltage. The asynchronous RST input sets the output of all four DACs to 0V. The VMON pin is an analog monitor output that multiplexes the individual DAC outputs or the AIN pin.
