8.1 Overview

The 10-bit DAC53401-Q1 and 8-bit DAC43401-Q1 (DACx3401-Q1) are a pin-compatible family of automotive, buffered voltage-output, smart digital-to-analog converters (DACs). These smart DACs contain nonvolatile memory (NVM), an internal reference, a PMBus-compatible I2C interface, and a force-sense output. The DACx3401-Q1 operate with either an internal reference or with a power supply as the reference, and provide a full-scale output of 1.8 V to 5.5 V.

The devices communicate through an I2C interface and support I2C standard mode (100 kbps), fast mode (400 kbps), and fast mode plus (1 Mbps). These devices also support specific PMBus commands such as turn on/off, margin high or low, and more. The DACx3401-Q1 also include digital slew rate control, and support basic signal generation such as square, ramp, and sawtooth waveforms. These devices can generate pulse-width modulation (PWM) output with the combination of the triangular or sawtooth waveform and the FB pin. These features enable DACx3401-Q1 to go beyond the limitations of a conventional DAC that depends on a processor to function. Because of processor-less operation and the smart feature set, the DACx3401-Q1 are called smart DACs.

The DACx3401-Q1 devices have a power-on-reset (POR) circuit that makes sure all the registers start with default or user-programmed settings using NVM. The DAC output powers on in high-impedance mode (default); this setting can be programmed to 10kΩ-GND using NVM.
