Single External Reference

noise and exceptionally low glitch. The DAC8581

high-performance, bipolar output buffer is capable of

•

Power-On Reset to Midscale

settling within 0.65

μs for a 10-V step. Small-signal

•

3-MSPS Update Rate

settling time is well under 0.3

μs, supporting data

•

SPI™ Interface, Up to 50 MHz

update rates up to 3 MSPS. A power-on-reset circuit

sets the output at midscale voltage on power up.

•

1.8-V–5-V Logic Compatible

•

Twos Complement Data Format

The DAC8581 is simple to use, with a single external

reference and a standard 3-wire SPI interface that
