DESCRIPTION
The DAC8550 is a small, low-power, voltage output,
16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). It is
monotonic, provides good linearity, and minimizes
undesired code to code transient voltages. The
DAC8550 uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface that
operates at clock rates of up to 30 MHz and is
compatible
with
standard
SPI™,
QSPI™,
Microwire™, and digital signal processor (DSP)
interfaces.
The DAC8550 requires an external reference voltage
to set its output range. The DAC8550 incorporates a
power-on reset circuit that ensures that the DAC
output powers up at midscale and remain there until a
valid write takes place to the device. The DAC8550
contains a power-down feature, accessed over the
serial interface, that reduces the current consumption
of the device to 200 nA at 5 V.
The low-power consumption of this device in normal
operation makes it ideal for portable battery-operated
equipment. Power consumption is 1 mW at 5 V,
reducing to 1 µW in power-down mode.
The DAC8550 is available in a MSOP-8 package.
Also see the DAC8551 binary coded counterpart of
the DAC8550.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Power supply input, 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
Reference voltage input.
Feedback connection for the output amplifier.
Analog output voltage from DAC. The output amplifier has rail-to-rail operation.
Level-triggered control input (active LOW). This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When SYNC goes
LOW, it enables the input shift register and data is transferred in on the falling edges of the following clocks. The DAC is
updated following the 24th clock (unless SYNC is taken HIGH before this edge in which case the rising edge of SYNC acts
as an interrupt and the write sequence is ignored by the DAC8550).
Serial clock input. Data can be transferred at rates up to 30 MHz.
Serial data input. Data is clocked into the 24-bit input shift register on each falling edge of the serial clock input.
Ground reference point for all circuitry on the part.
