provides full 18-bit performance—INL and DNL of ±1LSB
maximum—over temperature without any adjustments.
18-bit monotonicity is guaranteed in all performance
grades. This SoftSpan™ DAC operates from a single 3V
to 5V supply and offers six output ranges (up to ±10V)
that can be programmed through the 3-wire SPI serial
interface or pin-strapped for operation in a single range.
Any on-chip register (including DAC output-range settings)
can be read for verification in just one instruction cycle; and
if you change register content, the altered register will be
automatically read back during the next instruction cycle.
Voltage-controlled offset and gain adjustments are also
provided; and the power-on reset circuit and
CLR
pin both
reset the DAC output to 0V regardless of output range.
