The AD5060, a member of the nanoDAC^® family, is a single, full accurate 16-bit buffered voltage out DAC in a SOT-23.

By combining a 16-bit DAC and high performance output buffer in a SOT-23, the AD5060 delivers a maximum 1 LSB INL linearity error, making it ideal for high performance applications such as open loop control or precision gain and offset. The part utilizes a versatile three-wire serial interface that operates at clock rates up to 30 MHz and is compatible with standard SPI^™, QSPI^™, MICROWIRE^™ and DSP interface standards. The reference for the AD5060 is supplied from an external REF pin with a reference buffer provided on chip to simplify application of the device. The part incorporates a power-on-reset circuit that depending on model ensures the DAC output powers up to zero volts/mid scale and remains there until a valid write takes place to the device. The part also contains a power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of the device to 1 µA at 5 V and provides software selectable output loads while in power-down mode. Power-down mode is activated over the serial interface with very low glitch on power up. Total unadjusted error for the part is <1 mV.
