DAC5662: Settling time

Part Number: DAC5662

The settling time specification for the DAC 5662 test condition refers to a mid-scale transition and is specified at 20nsec typical.

Please elaborate, does this mid scale transition infer that the DAC output goes form 0 out to midscale for the measurement or is it something else?

  • Steve:

    Mid-scale transition settling time refers to the condition where the DAC transitions from x1FFF to x2000 corresponding to b0111...1 to b1000...0.  This represents the worse case scenario where every bit is transitioning at once.
