DESCRIPTION
The DAC121C081 is a 12-bit, single channel, voltage-
output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that operates
from a +2.7V to 5.5V supply. The output amplifier
allows rail-to-rail output swing and has an 8.5µsec
settling time. The DAC121C081 uses the supply
voltage as the reference to provide the widest
dynamic output range and typically consumes 132µA
while operating at 5.0V. It is available in 6-lead 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. It is available in an 8-lead VSSOP.
The DAC121C081 and DAC121C085 use a 2-wire,
I²C-compatible serial interface that operates in all
three speed modes, including high speed mode
(3.4MHz). An external address selection pin allows up
to three DAC121C081 or nine DAC121C085 devices
per 2-wire bus. Pin compatible alternatives to the
DAC121C081 are available that provide additional
address options.
The DAC121C081 and DAC121C085 each have a
16-bit register that controls the mode of operation, the
power-down condition, and the output voltage. A
power-on reset circuit ensures that the DAC output
powers up to zero volts. A power-down feature
reduces power consumption to less than a microWatt.
Their low power consumption and small packages
make these DACs an excellent choice for use in
battery operated equipment. Each DAC operates over
the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C
to +125°C.
The DAC121C081 and DAC121C085 are each part of
a family of pin compatible DACs that also provide 8
and 10 bit resolution. For 8-bit DACs see the
DAC081C081 and DAC081C085. For 10-bit DACs
see the DAC101C081 and DAC101C085.
