3 Description
The DAC121C081 is a 12-bit, single-channel,
voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that
operates from a 2.7-V to 5.5-V supply. The output
amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing and has an
8.5-µs settling time. The DAC121C081 uses the
supply voltage as the reference to provide the widest
dynamic output range, and typically consumes 132
µA while operating at 5 V. It is available in 6-pin SOT
and WSON packages, and provides three address
options (pin selectable).
As an alternative, the DAC121C085 provides nine I2C
addressing options and uses an external reference. It
has the same performance and settling time as the
DAC121C081, and is available in an 8-lead VSSOP.
