The DAC5311 (8-bit), DAC6311 (10-bit), and DAC7311 (12-bit) are low-power, single-channel, voltage output digital-to-analog converters (DAC). They are monotonic by design and provide excellent linearity and minimize undesired code-to-code transient voltages while offering an easy upgrade path within a pin-compatible family. All devices use a versatile, 3-wire serial interface that operates at clock rates of up to 50MHz and is compatible with standard SPI?, QSPI?, MICROWIRE?, and digital signal processor (DSP) interfaces.

All devices use an external power supply as a reference voltage to set the output range. The devices incorporate a power-on reset (POR) circuit that ensures the DAC output powers up at 0V and remains there until a valid write to the device occurs.
