description

The TLC5618 is a dual 12-bit voltage output

digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with buffered

reference inputs (high impedance). The DACs

have an output voltage range that is two times the

reference voltage, and the DACs are monotonic.

The device is simple to use, running from a single

supply of 5 V. A power-on reset function is

incorporated in the device to ensure repeatable

start-up conditions.

Digital control of the TLC5618 is over a 3-wire

CMOS-compatible serial bus. The device receives

a 16-bit word for programming and

producing the analog output. The digital inputs

feature Schmitt triggers for high noise immunity.

Digital communication protocols include the

SPI, QSPI, and Microwire standards.

Two versions of the device are available. The

TLC5618 does not have an internal state machine

and is dependent on all external timing signals. The TLC5618A has an internal state machine that counts the

number of clocks from the falling edge of CS and then updates and disables the device from accepting further

data inputs. The TLC5618A is recommended for TMS320 and SPI processors, and the TLC5618 is

recommended only for SPI or 3-wire serial port processors. The TLC5618A is backward-compatible and

designed to work in TLC5618 designed systems.
