The DAC5573IPW is a low-power quad channel 8-bit buffered voltage output Digital-to-analog Converter (DAC) with on-chip precision output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing. The DAC5573 utilizes an I2C-compatible two-wire serial interface supporting high-speed interface mode with address support of up to sixteen DAC5573 for a total of 64-channel on the bus. It requires an external reference voltage to set the output range of the DAC. The DAC5573 incorporates a power-on-reset circuit that ensures that the DAC output powers up at zero volts and remains there until a valid write takes place in the device. The DAC5573 contains a power-down feature, accessed via the internal control register that reduces the current consumption of the device to 200nA at 5V. The low power consumption of this part in normal operation makes it ideally suited to portable battery operated equipment. The power consumption is less than 3mW at 5VDD reducing to 1μW in power-down mode.
