      9 µs/3.6 mW (typ)
  • Power-down mode, <10 nA (typ)
  • TMS320 DSP and SPI compatible interfaces
  • Dual 2.7-to-5.5-V supply (separate digital and analog supplies)

TLV5604

  • 10-bit quadruple voltage output DAC
  • Programmable settling time vs. ultra-low power:
      2.5 µs/9 mW (typ)
      8.5 µs/3 mW (typ)
  • Power-down mode, 10 nA (typ)
  • TMS320 DSP and SPI compatible interfaces
  • Dual 2.7-to-5.5-V supply (separate digital and analog supplies)

The TLV5604, TLV5614 and TLV5616 belong to a versatile family of 10- and 12-bit digital-to-analog converters. They have programmable settling times as fast as 3 µs (typical), thereby enabling you to choose the appropriate speed for your application.

In addition, they also have low power consumption, therefore saving battery life and dissipating less heat. For example, the TLV5616 dissipates only 900 µW (typical) in the slow mode at 3 V. All three parts come with a powerdown feature to save energy when the parts are not being accessed.

The TLV56xx DAC family accepts a wide range of supply voltages ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, giving you flexibility in your design

They accept a wide range of supply voltages ranging from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, giving you flexibility in your design. They further provide flexibility by allowing a glueless interface to TMS320, SPI, QSPI, and Microwire serial ports. They come in commercial and industrial temperature ranges extending their operation from –40° C to 85° C.

In order to improve stability and reduce settling time, the resistor string output voltage is buffered by an x2 gain rail-to-rail output buffer. The TLV5604 and TLV5614 have a separate supply for the digital serial interface and DACs, allowing you more flexibility in your design. The TLV5604 and TLV5614 also have simultaneous update capability allowing multiple DACs to be updated at the same time.

Typical applications

The features of the TLV5604, TLV5614 and TLV5616 make them well suited for applications such as:

  • Battery powered test instruments
  • Industrial process controls
  • Machine and motion control devices
  • Communications
  • Digital servo control loops
  • Mass storage devices
