DESCRIPTION
TheDAC856x,DAC816x,andDAC756xare
low-power, voltage-output, dual-channel, 16-, 14-,
and12-bitdigital-to-analogconverters(DACs),
respectively.Thesedevicesincludea2.5-V,
4-ppm/°C internal reference, giving a full-scale output
voltage range of 2.5 V or 5 V. The internal reference
has an initial accuracy of ±5 mV and can source or
sink up to 20 mA at the V
REFIN/VREFOUT
These devices are monotonic, providing excellent
linearity and minimizing undesired code-to-code
transient voltages (glitch). They use a versatile
three-wire serial interface that operates at clock rates
up to 50 MHz. The interface is compatible with
standard SPI™, QSPI™, Microwire™, and digital
signal processor (DSP) interfaces. The DACxx62
devices incorporate a power-on-reset circuit that
ensures the DAC output powers up at zero scale until
a valid code is written to the device, whereas the
DACxx63s similarly power up at mid-scale. These
devices contain a power-down feature that reduces
current consumption to typically 10 nA at 5 V. The
low power consumption, internal reference, and small
footprint make these devices ideal for portable,
battery-operated equipment.
TheDACxx62devicesaredrop-inand
function-compatible with each other, as are the
DACxx63s. The entire family is available in MSOP-10
and QFN-10 packages.

Products conform to specifications per the terms of the Texas
Instruments standard warranty. Production processing does not
necessarily include testing of all parameters.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas
Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

9Power-supply input, 2.7 V to 5.5 V
Asynchronous clear input. The CLR input is falling-edge sensitive. When CLR is activated, zero scale
CLR5
(DACxx62) or mid-scale (DACxx63) is loaded to all input and DAC registers. This sets the DAC output
voltages accordingly. The part exits clear code mode on the 24thfalling edge of the next write to the part. If
CLR is activated during a write sequence, the write is aborted.

input. Schmitt-trigger logic input
GND3Ground reference point for all circuitry on the device
In synchronous mode, data are updated with the falling edge of the 24thSCLK cycle, which follows a falling
edge of SYNC. For such synchronous updates, the LDAC pin is not required, and it must be connected to
GND permanently or asserted and held low before sending commands to the device.
LDAC4In asynchronous mode, the LDAC pin is used as a negative edge-triggered timing signal for simultaneous
DAC updates. Multiple single-channel commands can be written in order to set different channel buffers to
desired values and then make a falling edge on LDAC pin to simultaneously update the DAC output
registers.
SCLK7Serial clock input. Data can be transferred at rates up to 50 MHz. Schmitt-trigger logic input
Level-triggered control input (active-low). This input is the frame synchronization signal for the input data.
When SYNC goes low, it enables the input shift register, and data are sampled on subsequent falling clock
SYNC6edges. The DAC output updates following the 24thclock falling edge. If SYNC is taken high before the 23
clock edge, the rising edge of SYNC acts as an interrupt, and the write sequence is ignored by the
DAC756x/DAC816x/DAC856x. Schmitt-trigger logic input
