The TLV5638IDR is a dual 12-bit voltage output DAC with a 3-wire serial interface that can be modified. The serial interface enables a glueless connection to serial ports such as TMS320, SPITM, QSPITM, and MicrowireTM. A 16-bit serial string with 4 control and 12 data bits is used to program it. An x2 gain rail-to-rail output buffer buffers the resistor string output voltage. A Class AB output stage is included in the buffer to improve stability and reduce settling time. The DAC's configurable settling time allows the designer to balance speed and power consumption. The TLV5638IDR simplifies overall system design with its on-chip configurable precision voltage reference.
The reference can also be used as a system reference due to its ability to generate up to 1 mA. The device is designed for single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and is implemented using CMOS technology. In common commercial, industrial, and automotive temperature ranges, it is available in an 8-pin SOIC package that can save board space. In the military temperature range, it's also accessible in JG and FK packages.
