Description
1
VDD
Positive Power Supply. Decouple this pin with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors and 10 μF capacitors.
2
A
Terminal A of RDAC. VSS ≤ VA ≤ VDD.
3
W
Wiper Terminal of RDAC. VSS ≤ VW ≤ VDD.
4
VSS
Negative Supply. Connect to 0 V for single-supply applications. Decouple this pin with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors
and 10 μF capacitors.
5
EXT_CAP
External Capacitor. Connect a 1 μF capacitor between EXT_CAP and VSS. This capacitor must have a voltage
rating of ≥7 V.
6
GND
Ground Pin, Logic Ground Reference.
7
SDO
Serial Data Output. This pin can be used to clock data from the shift register in daisy-chain mode or in readback
mode. This open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor even if it is not use.
8
DIN
Serial Data Line. This pin is used in conjunction with the SCLK line to clock data into or out of the 16-bit
input register.
9
SCLK
Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the shift register on the falling edge of the serial clock input. Data can be
transferred at rates of up to 50 MHz.
10
SYNC
Falling Edge Synchronization Signal. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input data. When SYNC
goes low, it enables the shift register and data is transferred in on the falling edges of the subsequent clocks.
The selected register is updated on the rising edge of SYNC following the 16th clock cycle. If SYNC is taken
high before the 16th clock cycle, the rising edge of SYNC acts as an interrupt, and the write sequence is ignored
by the RDAC.
