The 12-bit DAC60516 is a low-power, 16-channel, buffered voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The DAC60516 includes a 2.5V, 15ppm/°C internal reference, eliminating the need for an external precision reference in most applications. A user selectable gain configuration can be used to provide full-scale output voltages of 2.5V or 5V. The DAC60516 operates from a single power supply.

Communication to the DAC60516 is performed through an SPI- and I2C-supported serial interface, operating at clock rates of up to 50MHz (during SPI writes to the device). The VIO pin enables serial interface operation from 1.7V to 5.5V. The DAC60516 flexible interface enables operation with a wide range of industry-standard microprocessors and microcontrollers.

The DAC60516 is characterized for operation over the temperature range of –40°C to +125°C and available in a small WQFN package.
