DAC8551
SLAS429B – APRIL 2005 – REVISED OCTOBER 2006
16-BIT, ULTRA-LOW GLITCH, VOLTAGE OUTPUT
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
• Relative Accuracy: 3LSB
The DAC8551 is a small, low-power, voltage output,
16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). It is
• Glitch Energy: 0.1nV-s
monotonic, provides good linearity, and minimizes
• MicroPower Operation:
undesired code-to-code transient voltages. The
140 µ A at 2.7V
DAC8551 uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that
• Power-On Reset to Zero
operates at clock rates to 30MHz and is compatible
with standard SPI™, QSPI™, Microwire™, and
• Power Supply: +2.7V to +5.5V
digital signal processor (DSP) interfaces.
• 16-Bit Monotonic Over Temperature
The DAC8551 requires an external reference voltage
• Settling Time: 10 µ s to ± 0.003% FSR
to set its output range. The DAC8551 incorporates a
• Low-Power Serial Interface with
power-on-reset circuit that ensures the DAC output
Schmitt-Triggered Inputs
powers up at 0V and remains there until a valid write
• On-Chip Output Buffer Amplifier with
takes place to the device. The DAC8551 contains a
Rail-to-Rail Operation
power-down feature, accessed over the serial
interface, that reduces the current consumption of
• Power-Down Capability
the device to 200nA at 5V.
• Binary Input
The low-power consumption of this device in normal
• SYNC Interrupt Facility
operation makes it ideally suited for portable, battery-
• Drop-In Compatible With DAC8531/01
operated equipment. The power consumption is

0.38mW at 2.7V, reducing to less than 1 µ W in
power-down mode.
• Available in a Tiny MSOP-8 Package
The DAC8551 is available in an MSOP-8 package.
