LDAC Functionality
Depending on the control byte, DACs are synchronously updated on the falling edge of the acknowledge signal
that follows LS byte. The LDAC pin is required only when an external timing signal is used to update all the
channels of the DAC asynchronously. LDAC is a positive edge triggered asynchronous input that allows four
DAC output voltages to be updated simultaneously with temporary register data. The LDAC trigger should only
be used after the buffer's temporary registers are properly updated through software.

Table 3. DAC7573 Architecture Register Descriptions
Description
Stores 8-bit wide control byte sent by the master
Stores the 8 most significant bits of unsigned binary data sent by the master. Can also store 2-bit
power-down data.
Stores the 4 least significant bits of unsigned binary data sent by the master.
14-bit temporary storage registers assigned to each channel. Two MSBs store power-down information, 12
LSBs store data.
14-bit DAC registers for each channel. Two MSBs store power-down information, 12 LSBs store DAC data.
An update of this register means a DAC update with data or power-down.
