8-Bit 12-Ch I/O DAC
PT8146
DESCRIPTION
The PT8146 is an 8-bit D/A converter with 12 built-in channels. Each of the 12 analog outputs have a
built-in OP amplifier with large current drive capability. The data input/output format is chip select (/CS)
with serial bus connection available while a built-in 12-bit I/O expander enables serial-parallel
conversion (8 of the 12 bits can also be used for analog output).

PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin Name
AO1 to AO4
Description
Pin No.
D/A converter analog output pins (VDD to GND output).
1 to 4
(Default: output #00 setting level)
These pins may be used as either I/O expander parallel input/output
5 to 12
(VCCA/GND output 0.5 VCCA/0.2 VCCA input) or as D/A converter analog
output (VDD to GND output).
Pin status is controlled by input data.
See “Data Configuration”. (Default: Input mode, Hi-Z state)
D/A converter reference power pin.
13
MCU interface power supply pin (power supply for I/O expander)
14
I/O expander parallel input/output pins.
15 to 18
(VCCD/GND output: When VCCD
≥
4.0 V, 0.5 VCCD/0.2 VCCD input,
When VCCD < 4.0 V, 2 V/0.2 VCCD input)
Pin status is controlled by input data
See “Data Configuration.” (Default: Input mode, Hi-Z state)
Shift clock signal input pin.
19
When CS = “L”, SI data is loaded into the shift register at the rising edge of
the shift clock.
Data input pin (serial input pin).
20
Used for 16-bit serial data input.
Data output pin (serial output pin).
21
The first bit (LSB) data of the 16-bit shift register is output simultaneously
with the falling edge of the shift clock.
When /CS output = “H”, this pin goes to high impedance state.
Chip select signal input pin.
22
Input to shift registers is enabled when the/ CS signal falling edges. Shift
register contents can be executed when the /CS signal rising edges.
Analog unit power supply pin (OP amplifier power supply).
