Low-Power Buffered Voltage-Output DAC

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) converts digital data into an analog signal in terms of either current or voltage output. Nowadays, most DACs are implemented as integrated circuits. This reference design utilizes the DAC8562, which is a 16-bit, dual, low power, ultra-low glitch, buffered voltage output DAC. This IC includes a 2.5V, 4-ppm/°C internal reference, giving a full-scale output voltage range of 2.5V or 5V. The internal reference has an initial accuracy of ±5mV and can source or sink up to 20mA at the VREFIN/VREFOUT pin. This converter can operate up to 50MHz. Read more
