3 & 5V Octal 8-Bit Voltage Output DAC
with Serial Interface
Description
WM5628L and WM5628 are Octal 8-bit digital to analogue
converters (DAC) controlled via a serial interface. Each
DAC's output voltage range is programmable for either x1
or x 2 its reference input voltage, allowing near rail to rail
operation for the x 2 output range. High impedance
buffered voltage reference inputs are provided for each
group of four DACs. WM5628L operates on a single
supply voltage of 3 V while WM5628 operates on 5 V.
WM5628/L interfaces to all popular microcontrollers and
microprocessors via a three wire serial interface with CMOS
compatible, schmitt trigger, digital inputs. An 12 bit
command word comprises 3 DAC select bits, an output
range selection bit and 8-bits of data.
Individual or all DAC outputs are changed using
WM5628/L's double buffered DAC registers and the
separate LOAD and LDAC inputs. DAC outputs are
updated simultaneously by writing a complete set of new
values and then pulsing the LDAC input.
The DAC outputs are optimised for single supply
operation and driving ground referenced loads.
An internal power-on-reset function sets the DAC's input
codes to zero at power up.
Ideal in space critical applications WM5628/L is available
in wide-bodied and DIP packages for commercial (0
o
C to
70
o
C) and industrial (-40
o
C to 85
o
C) temperature ranges.

Notes:
1. Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only.
Permanent damage to the device may be caused by
continuously operating at or beyond these limits.
Device functional operating range limits are given
under Recommended Operating Conditions.
Guaranteed performance specifications are given
under Electrical Characteristics at the test conditions
specified.
2. Total Unadjusted Error is the sum of integral linearity
error, zero code error and full scale error over the input
code range.
3. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference
between the measured and ideal 1 LSB amplitude
change of any two adjacent codes. A guarantee of
monotonicity means the output voltage changes in the
same direction (or remains constant) as a change in
the digital input code.
4. Integral Nonlinearity (INL) is the maximum deviation of
the output from the line between zero and full scale
(excluding the effects of zero code and full-scale
errors).
5. Zero code error is the deviation from zero voltage
output when the digital input code is zero.
6. Zero code error temperature coefficient is given by:
6
ZCETC = (ZCE(T
max
- ZCE(T
min
)) /V
REF
x 10 / (T
max
- T
min
)
7. Zero-code Error Rejection Ratio (ZCE-RR) is
measured by varying the V
DD
voltage, from 4.5 to 5.5
V d.c., and measuring the proportion of this signal
imposed on the zero-code output voltage.
