Quad, 14-Bit, High-Accuracy, ± 16V Output, Serial Input
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
2345
• Bipolar Output: Up to ± 16V
The DAC8234 is a high-accuracy, quad-channel,
14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that operates
• Unipolar Output: 0V to +20V
from supply voltages of ± 5V to ± 18V in bipolar output
• 14-Bit Monotonic
mode, and from ± 5V to +24V/ – 12V in unipolar mode.
• Relative Accuracy: 0.5 LSB Max
With a 5V reference, the DAC8234 can be configured
• Low Zero and Gain Errors to output ± 10V, ± 5V, 0V to 20V, or 0V to 10V. The
DAC8234 provides 14-bit monotonicity, excellent
– Before User Calibration: 1 LSB
integral nonlinearity (INL) error of ± 0.5 LSB, low
– After User Calibration:
glitch, and low noise over the operating temperature
0.031 LSB Zero Error, 0.25 LSB Gain Error
range of – 40 ° C to +105 ° C. This device is trimmed in
production for very low zero and gain errors. In
• Low Noise: 60nV/ √ Hz
addition, the DAC8234 implements a
• Settling Time: 6 µ s
user-programmable system-level calibration function
• Configurable Gain: x2/x4
to achieve ± 0.031 LSB zero error and ± 0.25 LSB gain
• Analog Output Monitor
error.
• Power-Down Mode
The DAC8234 has integrated reference buffers and
output buffers. It features a standard high-speed
• SPI™: Up to 50MHz, 1.8V/3V/5V Logic
1.8V, 3V, or 5V serial peripheral interface (SPI) that
• Daisy-Chain Mode
operates at clock rates of up to 50MHz to
• Operating Temperature: – 40 ° C to +105 ° C
communicate with a DSP or microprocessor. The four
• Packages: QFN-40 (6x6mm), TQFP-48 (7x7mm)
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
• Automatic Test Equipment
( LDAC) transfers data from the input data register to
• Instrumentation
the DAC latch, and the contents of the DAC latch set
• Industrial Process Control
the output voltage. The asynchronous RST input sets
• Communications the output of all four DACs to 0V. The V
MON
pin is an
analog monitor output that multiplexes the individual
DAC outputs or the AIN pin.
The DAC8234 is pin-compatible with the DAC8734
(16-bit) and the DAC7716 (12-bit).
