3 & 5V Octal 8-Bit Voltage Output DAC
with Serial Interface
Description
WM5628L and WM5628 are Octal 8-bit digital to analogue
converters (DAC) controlled via a serial interface. Each
DAC's output voltage range is programmable for either x1
or x 2 its reference input voltage, allowing near rail to rail
operation for the x 2 output range. High impedance
buffered voltage reference inputs are provided for each
group of four DACs. WM5628L operates on a single
supply voltage of 3 V while WM5628 operates on 5 V.
WM5628/L interfaces to all popular microcontrollers and
microprocessors via a three wire serial interface with CMOS
compatible, schmitt trigger, digital inputs. An 12 bit
command word comprises 3 DAC select bits, an output
range selection bit and 8-bits of data.
Individual or all DAC outputs are changed using
WM5628/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 WM5628/L is available
in wide-bodied and DIP packages for commercial (0
