The DAC8830 and DAC8831 are single, 16-bit, serial-input, voltage-output digital-to-analog converters (DACs) operating from a single 3V to 5V power supply. These converters provide excellent linearity (1LSB INL), low glitch, low noise, and fast settling (1.0S to 1/2 LSB of full-scale output) over the specified temperature range of 40C to +85C. The output is unbuffered, which reduces the power consumption and the error introduced by the buffer. These parts feature a standard high-speed (clock up to 50MHz), 3V or 5V SPI serial interface to communicate with the DSP or microprocessors. The DAC8830 output is 0V to VREF. However, the DAC8831 provides bipolar output (VREF) when working with an external buffer. The DAC8830 and DAC8831 are both reset to zero-code after power up.
