DAC8555
SLAS475B – NOVEMBER 2005 – REVISED OCTOBER 2006
16-BIT, QUAD CHANNEL, ULTRA-LOW GLITCH, VOLTAGE OUTPUT
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
• Relative Accuracy: 4LSB
The DAC8555 is a 16-bit, quad channel, voltage
output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) offering
• Glitch Energy: 0.15nV-s
low-power operation and a flexible serial host
• MicroPower Operation:

150 µ A per Channel at 2.7V
exceptionally low glitch. Each on-chip precision
• Power-On Reset to Zero-Scale or Midscale
output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be
achieved over the supply range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The
• Power Supply: +2.7V to +5.5V
device supports a standard 3-wire serial interface
• 16-Bit Monotonic Over Temperature
capable of operating with input data clock
• Settling Time: 10 µ s to ± 0.003% FSR

• Ultra-Low AC Crosstalk: –100dB Typ
The DAC8555 requires an external reference voltage
• Low-Power SPI™-Compatible Serial Interface
to set the output range of each DAC channel. Also

and Power-Down
provides a per channel power-down feature,
accessed over the serial interface, that reduces the
