The TLV5618A is a dual 12-bit voltage output DACwith a flexible 3-wire serial interface. The serial interface is compatible with TMS320, SPI (TM),QSPI(TM), and Microwire(TM) serial ports. It is programmed with a 16-bit serial string containing4 control and 12 data bits. The resistor string output voltage is buffered by anx2 gain rail-to-rail output buffer. The buffer features a Class-AB output stage to improve stability and reduce settling time. The programmable settling time of the DAC allows the designer to optimize speed versus power dissipation. Implemented with a CMOS process, the device is designed for single supply operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Itis available in an 8-pin SOIC package in standard commercial and industrial temperature ranges. The TLV5618AC is characterized for operation from 0oC to 70oC. The TLV5618AI is characterized for operation from -40oC to 85oC. The TLV5618AQ is characterized for operation from -40oC to 125oC. The TLV5618AM is characterized for operation from -55oC to 125oC.
