PRODUCTION DATA
The 12-bit DAC63202W is a dual-channel buffered voltage-output and current-output smart digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The DAC channels are independently configurable as voltage or current output. The DAC outputs change to Hi-Z when VDD is off; a feature useful in voltage-margining applications. This smart DAC contains nonvolatile memory (NVM), an internal reference, automatically detectable I2C or SPI, PMBus-compatibility in I2C mode, force-sense output, and a general-purpose input. This device supports Hi-Z power-down modes by default, which can be configured to 10 kΩ-GND or 100 kΩ-GND using the NVM. The DAC63202W has a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that makes sure all the registers start with default or user-programmed settings using NVM. The DAC63202W operates with either an internal reference, external reference, or with a power supply as the reference, and provide a full-scale output of 1.8 V to 5.5 V.
The DAC63202W supports I2C standard mode (100 kbps), fast mode (400 kbps), and fast mode plus (1 Mbps). The I2C interface can be configured with four target addresses using the A0 pin. This device also supports specific PMBus commands such as turn on/off, margin high or low, and more. SPI mode supports a 3-wire interface by default with up to 50-MHz SCLK input. The GPIO input can be configured as SDO in the NVM for SPI read capability. The GPIO input can alternatively be configurable as LDAC, PD, STATUS, FAULT-DUMP, RESET, and PROTECT functions.
The DAC63202W also includes digital slew rate control, and supports standard waveform generation such as sine, cosine, triangular, and sawtooth waveforms. This device can generate pulse-width modulation (PWM) output with the combination of the triangular or sawtooth waveform and the FB pin. The force-sense outputs of the DAC channels can be used as programmable comparators. The comparator mode allows programmable hysteresis, latching comparator, window comparator, and fault-dump to the NVM. These features enable the DAC63202W to go beyond the limitations of a conventional DAC that depends on a processor to function. As a result of processor-less operation and the smart feature set, the DAC63202W is called a smart DAC.
