16-bit DAC features flexible configuration for demanding industrial applications

National Semiconductor Corp. introduced a precision 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a buffered voltage output. A member of National’s PowerWise energy-efficient product family, the DAC161S055 features a flexible configuration for a wide range of applications, including industrial I/O modules and data acquisition systems, automated test equipment, and medical devices.

The DAC161S055 delivers precision DC specifications of ±1LSB INL (max) and ±1LSB DNL (max) along with a very fast buffered output settling time of 5µsec. It also provides a combination of performance, configurability and low power, allowing system designers to reduce the number of board options and addressing a wide range of applications with a single design.

Key highlights:

• 16-bit DAC with a two-buffer SPI interface
• INL: ±1 LSB
• Very low output noise: 120 nV/√ Hz
• 5µSec Settling time (buffered output)
• Asynchronous load DAC and reset pins
• Compatibility with 1.8V controllers
• Rail-to-rail Buffered voltage output
• Wide Voltage Reference Range of +2.5V to VA
• Wide Temperature Range of −40°C to +105°C

Pricing: $3.55 in quantities of 1,000.
