ORDERING INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
The WM2636 is a 12-bit voltage output, resistor string digital-to-
analogue converter that can be powered down under software
control. Power down reduces current consumption to 10nA.
An internal precision voltage reference is provided which can
source up to 1mA. This can therefore be used as an external
system reference.
The device has been designed to interface efficiently to industry
standard microprocessors and DSPs, including the TMS320
family. The WM2636 is programmed with a 16-bit serial word
comprising 4 control bits and 12 data bits.
Excellent performance is delivered with a typical DNL of 0.5
LSBs. The settling time of the DAC is programmable to allow
the designer to optimize speed versus power dissipation. The
output stage is buffered by a x2 gain near rail-to-rail amplifier.
The device is available in an 8-pin SOIC package. Commercial
temperature (0° to 70°C) and Industrial temperature (-40° to
85°C) variants are supported.
