GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD5641, a member of the nanoDAC® family, is a single,
14-bit, buffered, voltage-out DAC that operates from a single
2.7 V to 5.5 V supply, typically consuming 75 µA at 5 V. The
part comes in tiny LFCSP and SC70 packages. Its on-chip
precision output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be
achieved. The AD5641 uses a versatile 3-wire serial interface
that operates at clock rates up to 30 MHz and is compatible with
SPI®, QSPI™, MICROWIRE™, and DSP interface standards. The
reference for AD5641 is derived from the power supply inputs
and, therefore, gives the widest dynamic output range. The part
incorporates a power-on reset circuit, which ensures that the
DAC output powers up to 0 V and remains there until a valid
write to the device takes place.
The AD5641 contains a power-down feature that reduces
current consumption typically to 0.2 µA at 3 V, and provides
software-selectable output loads while in power-down mode.
The part is put into power-down mode over the serial interface.
The low power consumption of the part in normal operation
makes it ideally suited to portable battery-operated equipment.
The combination of small package and low power makes this
nanoDAC device ideal for level-setting requirements such as
generating bias or control voltages in space-constrained and
power-sensitive applications.

Available in space-saving 6-lead LFCSP and SC70
packages.
Low power, single-supply operation. The AD5641 operates
from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply and with a maximum
current consumption of 100 µA, making it ideal for
battery-powered applications.
The on-chip output buffer amplifier allows the output of
the DAC to swing rail-to-rail with a typical slew rate of
0.5 V/µs.
Reference derived from the power supply.
High speed serial interface with clock speeds up to
30 MHz. Designed for very low power consumption. The
interface powers up only during a write cycle.
Power-down capability. When powered down, the DAC
typically consumes 0.2 µA at 3 V.
Power-on reset with brownout detection.
