GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5063, a member of ADI’s nanoDAC™ family, is a low
power, single 16-bit, unbuffered voltage-output DAC that operates
from a single 2.7 V to 5 V supply. The part offers a relative
accuracy specification of ±1 LSB, and operation is guaranteed
monotonic with a ±1 LSB DNL specification. The AD5063
comes with on-board resistors in a 10-lead MSOP, allowing
bipolar signals to be generated with an output amplifier. The
part uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that operates at
clock rates up to 30 MHz and that is compatible with standard
SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards. The
reference for the AD5063 is supplied from an external V
REF
pin.
A reference buffer is also provided on-chip. The part incor-
porates a power-on reset circuit that ensures the DAC output
powers up to midscale and remains there until a valid write to
the device takes place. The part contains a power-down feature
that reduces the current consumption of the device to typically
300 nA at 5 V and provides software-selectable output loads
while in power-down mode. The part is put into power-down
mode via the serial interface. Total unadjusted error for the part
is <1 mV.
This part exhibits very low glitch on power-up.
