open-drain data line that should be connected to the supply voltage with an external pull-up resistor.
16 20 SCL Serial clock input. Data can be transferred at rates up to 3.4MHz. Schmitt-trigger logic input.
— 1 NC Not internally connected
— 7 NC Not internally connected
— 9 RSTSEL Reset select pin. RSTSEL high resets device to mid-scale; RSTSEL low resets device to zero-scale.
— 10 ADDR1 3-state address input
— 18 NC Not internally connected
Twos complement select. If the TWOC pin is pulled high, the DAC registers use twos complement
