excellent long-term output current drift (90 ppmFS)
• Self Adjusting to Input Data Rate
while consuming less than 190µA.
• Loop Error Detection and Rreporting
The data link to the DAC161P997 is a Single Wire
• Programmable Output Current Error Level
Interface (SWIF) which allows sensor data to be
• No External Precision Components
transferred in digital format over an isolation
boundary using a single isolation component. The
