DAC80501: DAC80501MDQFT Output Range

Part Number: DAC80501

Hi,

If the VDD=5V and using internal Vref with REF-DIV=0 and BUFF-GAIN=1, what will the maximum VOUT range (it will be less than VDD, right?)?

 

Thanx,
Eli.

 

  • Hi Eli,

    When using those settings, the nominal output will be 5V.  It will be limited by gain error, full-scale error, and supply clipping.  When sourcing current, the DAC also requires more headroom, so your load might impact the full-scale error as well.  Generally, if you need to drive a load and still achieve 5V output, then I recommend you increase your supply voltage (e.g. 5.5V).

    Thanks,
