Three Channels of Power-Supply Tracking
4 _______________________________________________________________________________________
Note 1: All voltages are referenced to GND. Current entering the IC is specified positive, and current exiting the IC is negative.
Note 2: Input resistors (R
FS[3:0]
) must be between the specified values to ensure the device meets its accuracy and linearity specifi-
cations.
Note 3: Supply current specified with all outputs set to zero current setting and with all inputs at V
CC
or GND. SDA and SCL are
connected to V
CC
. Excludes current through R
FS
resistors (I
RFS
). Total current including I
RFS
is I
CC
+ (2 x I
RFS
).
Note 4: The output-voltage full-scale ranges must be satisfied to ensure the device meets its accuracy and linearity specifications.
Only applies to current DAC operation, not power-supply tracking operation.
Note 5: Temperature drift excludes drift caused by external resistors.
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 127.
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 operation (400kHz). This device is also backward-compatible with I
2
C standard-mode timing.
Note 9: C
B
—Total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
