CONNECTING MULTIPLE DEVICES
Multiple devices of DACx578 family can be connected
on the same bus. Using the address pin, the
DACx578 can be set to one of three different I
2
C
addresses for the TSSOP package and one of eight
addresses for the QFN package. An example
showing three DACx578 devices in TSSOP package
is shown if Figure 120. Note that only one set of
pull-up resistors is needed per bus. The pull-up
resistor values may need to be lowered slightly to
compensate for the additional bus capacitance due to
multiple devices and increased bus length.

DACx578 on the Same Bus
