1 Overview
is an easy-to-use platform to evaluate the functionality and performance of the DAC63204,
DAC53204, and DAC43204 commercial devices.
The 12-bit DAC63204, 10-bit DAC53204, and 8-bit DAC43204 (DACx3204) are a pin-compatible family of
quad-channel, buffered, voltage-output, and current-output smart digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The DAC
outputs are capable of both voltage and current output. The DACx3204 support Hi-Z power-down mode and Hi-Z
output during power-off conditions. The DAC outputs provide a force-sense option for use as a programmable
comparator and current sink. The multifunction GPIO, function generation, and NVM enable these smart DACs
for use in applications and design reuse without the need for a processor (
processor-less
operation). These
devices also automatically detect I
2
C, SPI, and PMBus interfaces, and contain an internal reference.
