16-channel 16-bit voltage-output (0-5V) with internal 2.5V reference and 50mA drive capability

The 16-bit DAC80516 is a low-power, 16-channel, buffered voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The DAC80516 includes a 2.5V, 5ppm/°C internal reference, eliminating the need for an external precision reference in most applications. A user selectable gain configuration can be used to provide full-scale output voltages of 2.5V or 5V. The DAC80516 operates from a single power supply.

Communication to the DAC80516 is performed through an SPI- and I2C-supported serial interface, operating at clock rates of up to 50MHz (during SPI writes to the device). The VIO pin enables serial interface operation from 1.7V to 5.5V. The DAC80516 flexible interface enables operation with a wide range of industry-standard microprocessors and microcontrollers.

The DAC80516 is characterized for operation over the temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and available in a small WQFN package.
