The TLV5610IYE and TLV5608IYE are pin compatible eight channel 12-/10-bit voltage output DACs each with a flexible serial interface. The serial interface allows glueless interface to TMS320 and SPI, QSPI, and Microwire serial ports. It is programmed with a 16-bit serial string containing 4 control and 12 data bits. Additional features are a power-down mode, an LDAC input for simultaneous update of all eight DAC outputs, and a data output which can be used to cascade multiple devices. The resistor string output voltage is buffered by a rail-to-rail output amplifier with a programmable settling time to allow the designer to optimize speed vs power dissipation. The buffered, high-impedance reference input can be connected to the supply voltage.
