The DAC80501MDGSR: ROHS3 compliance is confirmed, so the part clears regulatory gates for EU and global markets without an exemption expiry.
16-bit precision with a 5 µs settling time
This is a single-channel 16-bit DAC using an R-2R architecture with a buffered voltage output — the R-2R ladder gives inherent monotonicity, and the buffer can drive the load directly without an external op-amp. Settling time is 5 µs typical, which means the output reaches within 1 LSB of the final value in that window — fast enough for closed-loop control loops updating at tens of kilohertz. INL and DNL are both ±1 LSB maximum, guaranteeing monotonic behavior across the full 16-bit range — critical for precision set-points in servo drives or programmable power supplies where every code step must produce a unique output.
Industrial temperature range and flexible supply
The reference can be either internal or external, giving the designer a choice between a self-contained solution (internal) or a higher-precision external reference for applications requiring better than the internal drift.
I²C and SPI interface in a small VSSOP package
The DAC80501MDGSR supports both I²C and SPI data interfaces on the same pins, selected by the state of an address/configuration pin — one PCB layout serves either bus protocol without a footprint change.
