DESCRIPTION

The DAC6574 is a low-power, quad channel, 10-bit

buffered voltage output DAC. Its on-chip precision

output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be

achieved. The DAC6574 utilizes an I2C compatible two wire serial interface supporting high-speed

interface mode with address support of up to four

DAC6574s for a total of 16 channels on the bus.

The DAC6574 uses VDD and GND to set the output

range of the DAC. The DAC6574 incorporates a

power-on-reset circuit that ensures that the DAC

output powers up at zero volts and remains there until

a valid write takes place to the device. The DAC6574

contains a per-channel power-down feature, ac-

cessed via the internal control register, that reduces

the current consumption of the device to 200 nA at 5

V.

The low power consumption of this part in normal

operation makes it ideally suited to portable battery

operated equipment. The power consumption is less

than 3mW at VDD = 5 V reducing to 1 μW in

power-down mode.

TI offers a variety of data converters with I2C

interface. See DACx57x family of 16/12/10/8 bit,

single and quad channel DACs. Also see ADS7823

and ADS1100, 12-bit octal channel and 16-bit single

channel ADCs.
