The AD5040 and the AD5060, members of the ADI nanoDAC
family, are low power, single 14-/16-bit buffered voltage-out
DACs that operate from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply. The
AD5040/AD5060 parts offer a relative accuracy specification
of ±1 LSB and operation are guaranteed monotonic with a
±1 LSB DNL specification. The parts use a versatile 3-wire serial
interface that operates at clock rates up to 30 MHz and is
compatible with standard SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and
DSP interface standards. The reference for both the AD5040
and AD5060 is supplied from an external VREF pin. A reference
buffer is also provided on-chip. The AD5060 incorporates a
power-on reset circuit that ensures the DAC output powers up
to midscale or zero scale and remains there until a valid write
takes place to the device. The AD5040 and the AD5060 both
contain a power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of the device to typically 330 nA at 5 V and provides
software-selectable output loads while in power-down mode.
The parts are put into power-down mode over the serial
interface. Total unadjusted error for the parts is <2 mV.
Both parts exhibit very low glitch on power-up.
