DAC70501: We're looking for the DA converter similar to DAC70501MDGST.

Hi Shinichi-san, 

Is 14-bit, single channel a requirement? If so, the only option would be the DAC8311 which uses the VDD as the reference pin. 

Let me know if we can adjust the resolution to another value and maybe we can find another suitable device. 

Best,

Katlynne Jones

Hello Katlynne 

Thank you for your reply.

We recognized that DAC8311 is not meet out requirment, because the device uses the VDD as the reference pin.

our requirement is below:

 -Resolution: 14bit or more

 -Channels   : 1ch or more

 -Gain error:  same as DAC70501 or more

-Offcet error:same as DAC70501 or more

We hope that We'll find good solution...

Best Regard

Hi Shinichi-san, 

You can consider the DAC81402 or the DAC70004. Those both have very close gain/offset error specs. 

What is the customer's concern with the internal reference being on by default in the DAC70501? We have seen that it is ok for the external reference and internal reference to both be on at the same time (for a short time) as long as a series current limiting resistor is used.

Hello Katlynne 

Thank you for your reply.

We'd like to talk more about your question in a closed condition.

Hi Shinichi-san, 

I see that we had a private message conversation about the DAC70501 last year. We can continue the discussion there if you would like. 

Best,

Katlynne Jones

Thank you Katlyne.

Our concern is following:
-Power on sequence getting complicated.
-Power off sequence getting complicated.
-Because initialization may fail due to issue (and guesses) on the MPU.

The background of this consultation is that we're looking for a DAC that can use DAC70501 well, but is easier to use in a our system.

Hi Shinichi-san,

What is your desired reference voltage?

Hello Paul

Thank you for your reply.

Our requirement is following:

 - Main Power supply : around 5V  ( <- Automaticaly powered on with Main power supply of board)

 - Reference voltage : High accuracy 5V (<- Power on by MPU controll.)

Best Regard

Hi Shinichi-san,

You can use the DAC70501 precision internal reference with the 2x gain mode to have a 5-V full scale range. Is the internal reference not accurate enough? It has high initial accuracy and very low drift.
