DESCRIPTION
The TLC5615 is a 10-bit voltage output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a buffered reference input (high
impedance). The DAC has an output voltage range that is two times the reference voltage, and the DAC is
monotonic. The device is simple to use, running from a single supply of 5 V. A power-on-reset function is
incorporated to ensure repeatable start-up conditions.
Digital control of the TLC5615 is over a three-wire serial bus that is CMOS compatible and easily interfaced to
industry standard microprocessor and microcontroller devices. The device receives a 16-bit data word to produce
the analog output. The digital inputs feature Schmitt triggers for high noise immunity. Digital communication
protocols include the SPI™, QSPI™, and Microwire™ standards.
The 8-terminal small-outline D package allows digital control of analog functions in space-critical applications. The
TLC5615C is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The TLC5615I is characterized for operation from -40°C
to 85°C.

The relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity (INL), sometimes referred to as linearity error, is the maximum deviation of the output
from the line between zero and full scale excluding the effects of zero code and full-scale errors (see text). Tested from code 3 to code
1024.
(2)
The differential nonlinearity (DNL), sometimes referred to as differential error, is the difference between the measured and ideal 1 LSB
amplitude change of any two adjacent codes. Monotonic means the output voltage changes in the same direction (or remains
constant) as a change in the digital input code. Tested from code 3 to code 1024.
(3)
Zero-scale error is the deviation from zero-voltage output when the digital input code is zero (see text).
(4)
Zero-scale-error temperature coefficient is given by: EZSTC = [EZS(T
(5)
Gain error is the deviation from the ideal output (V
(6)
Gain temperature coefficient is given by: EGTC = [EG(T
(7)
Zero-scale-error rejection ratio (EZS-RR) is measured by varying the VDDfrom 4.5 V to 5.5 V dc and measuring the proportion of this
signal imposed on the zero-code output voltage.
(8)
Gain-error rejection ratio (EG-RR) is measured by varying the VDDfrom 4.5 V to 5.5 V dc and measuring the proportion of this signal
imposed on the full-scale output voltage after subtracting the zero-scale change.
