3 & 5V Quad 8-Bit Voltage Output DAC
with Serial Interface
Description
WM5620L and WM5620 are quad 8-bit digital to analogue
converters (DAC) controlled via a serial interface. Each
DAC's output voltage range isprogrammable for either x1
or x 2 its reference input voltage, allowing near rail to rail
operation for the x 2 output range. Separate high
impedance buffered voltage reference inputs are provided
for each DAC. WM5620L operates on a single supply
voltage of 3 V while WM5620 operates on 5 V.
WM5620/L interfaces to all popular microcontrollers and
microprocessors via a three wire serial interface with CMOS
compatible, schmitt trigger, digital inputs. An 11 bit
command word comprises 2 DAC select bits, an output
range selection bit and 8-bits of data.
Individual or all DAC outputs are changed using WM5620/
L's double buffered DAC registers and the separate LOAD
and LDAC inputs. DAC outputs are updated
simultaneously by writing a complete set of new values
and then pulsing the LDAC input.
The DAC outputs are optimised for single supply
operation and driving ground referenced loads.
An internal power-on-reset function sets the DAC's input
codes to zero at power up.
Ideal in space critical applications WM5620/L is available
in small outline and DIP packages for commercial (0
