General Description
The DS4412 contains two I2C adjustable-current DACs
that are each capable of sinking or sourcing current. Each
output has 15 sink and 15 source settings that are programmed by I2C interface. The full-scale range and step
size of each output is determined by an external resistor
that can adjust the output current over a 4:1 range.
The output pins, OUT0 and OUT1, power-up in a highimpedance state.
Applications

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS
(TA= -40°C to +85°C)
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 3: The output voltage range must be satisfied to ensure the device meets its accuracy and linearity specifications.
Note 4: Input resistors R
FS
must be between 2.25kΩ and 9.0kΩ to ensure the device meets its accuracy and linearity specifications.
Note 5: Temperature drift excludes drift caused by external resistor.
Note 6: Differential linearity is defined as the difference between the expected incremental current increase with respect to position
and the actual increase. The expected incremental increase is the full-scale range divided by 15.
Note 7: Integral linearity is defined as the difference between the expected value as a function of the setting and the actual value.
The expected value is a straight line between the zero and the full-scale values proportional to the setting.
Note 8: Timing shown is for fast-mode (400kHz) operation. This device is also backward compatible with I
