The DAC8411IDCKT is a 16-bit Digital-to-analogue Converter with excellent linearity and minimize undesired code-to-code transient voltages while offering an easy upgrade path within a pin-compatible family. This device uses a versatile, 3-wire serial interface that operates at clock rates of up to 50MHz and is compatible with standard SPI, QSPI, Microwire and digital signal processor (DSP) interfaces. This DAC uses an external power supply as a reference voltage to set the output range. The DAC incorporate a power-on reset (POR) circuit that ensures the DAC output powers up at 0V and remains there until a valid write to the device occurs. The DAC8411 contain a power-down feature, accessed over the serial interface that reduces current consumption of the device to 0.1μA at 2V in power down mode. The low power consumption of these devices in normal operation makes it ideal. The power consumption is 0.55mW at 5V, reducing to 2.5μW in power-down mode.
