DESCRIPTION
The DAC8532 is a dual channel, 16-bit Digital-to-Analog
Converter (DAC) offering low power operation and a flexible
serial host interface. Each on-chip precision output amplifier
allows rail-to-rail output swing to be achieved over the supply
range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The device supports a standard 3-wire
serial interface capable of operating with input data clock
frequencies up to 30MHz for VDD = 5V.
The DAC8532 requires an external reference voltage to set
the output range of each DAC channel. Also incorporated
into the device is a power-on reset circuit which ensures that
the DAC outputs power up at zero-scale and remain there
until a valid write takes place. The DAC8532 provides a
flexible power-down feature, accessed over the serial inter-
face, that reduces the current consumption of the device to
200nA at 5V.
The low-power consumption of this device in normal opera-
tion makes it ideally suited to portable battery-operated
equipment and other low-power applications. The power
consumption is 2.5mW at 5V, reducing to 1µW in power-
down mode.
The DAC8532 is available in a MSOP-8 package with a
specified operating temperature range of –40°C to +105°C.

ELECTROSTATIC
DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instru-
ments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

Power supply input, +2.7V to +5.5V.
Reference voltage input.
Analog output voltage from DAC B.
Analog output voltage from DAC A.
Level triggered SYNC input (active LOW). This is the
frame synchronization signal for the input data.
When SYNC goes LOW, it enables the input shift
register and data is transferred on the falling edge of
SCLK. The action specified by the 8-bit control byte
and 16-bit data word is executed following the 24th
falling SCLK clock edge (unless SYNC is taken
HIGH before this edge in which case the rising edge
of SYNC acts as an interrupt and the write sequence
is ignored by the DAC8532).
Serial Clock Input. Data can be transferred at rates
up to 30 MHz at 5V.
Serial Data Input. Data is clocked into the 24-bit
input shift register on each falling edge of the serial
clock input.
Ground reference point for all circuitry on the part.
