DESCRIPTION
The WM2625 is a dual 8-bit voltage output, resistor string
digital-to-analogue converter. It can operate with supply
voltages between 2.7V and 5.5V and can be powered down
under software control. Power

The device has been designed for glueless interface to industry
standard microprocessors and DSPs. The WM2625 is
programmed with a 16-bit serial word including 4 control bits
and 8 data bits.
Excellent performance is delivered with a typical DNL of
0.2LSBs. Monotonicity is guaranteed over the operating
temperature range. The settling time of the DAC is
programmable to allow for optimisation of speed versus power
dissipation. The analogue output is buffered by a rail-to-rail
amplifier with a gain of two and a Class AB output stage.
The reference voltage input features a high impedance buffer
which eliminates the need to keep the reference source
impedance low.
The WM2625 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package.
