DAC53xAxW Current-Source DACs
Texas Instruments DAC53xAxW Current-Source Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) are 10-bit, buffered voltage-output and current-output smart digital-to-analog-converters (DAC). The DAC53xAxW devices support a current source that can be used for linear control of laser diodes and miniature motors. These devices support Hi-Z power-down mode and Hi-Z output during power-off conditions for voltage output. Channel 1 can be configured as a voltage-output DAC or a comparator. The voltage-output DACs provide a force-sense option for use as a programmable comparator and current sink. The multifunction GPIO, function generation, and programmable nonvolatile memory (NVM) enable these smart DACs for processor-less applications and design reuse. These devices automatically detect SPI or I2C interfaces and contain an internal reference.
