N.C.
Internally Connected. Do not connect.
6, 21, 30, 37
DVDD1.8
Digital Power Supply. Accepts a 1.71V to 1.89V supply range. Bypass each pin to ground with a
0.1F capacitor as close to the pin as possible.
7–12, 15–20
A11–A0
A-Port Data Inputs.
Dual-port mode:
I-channel data input. Data is latched on the rising/falling edge (programmable) of the DATACLK.
Single-port mode:
I-channel and Q-channel data input, with SELIQ.
13, 44
DVDD3.3
CMOS I/O Power Supply. Accepts a 3.0V to 3.6V supply range. Bypass each pin to ground with a
0.1F capacitor as close to the pin as possible.
14
DATACLK
Programmable Data Clock Input/Output. See the DATACLK Modes section for details.
26
SELIQ/B11
Select I/Q-Channel Input or B-Port MSB Input.
Single-port mode:
If SELIQ = LOW, data is latched into Q-channel on the rising/falling edge (programmable) of
the DATACLK.
If SELIQ = HIGH, data is latched into I-channel on the rising/falling edge (programmable) of the
DATACLK.
Dual-port mode:
Q-channel MSB input.
27
DATACLK/B10
Alternate DATACLK Input/Output or B-Port Bit 10 Input.
Single-port mode:
See the DATACLK Modes section for details.
Dual-port mode:
Q-channel bit 10 input.
If unused connect to GND.
28, 29, 31–36,
38, 39
B9–B0
B-Port Data Bits 9–0.
Dual-port mode:
Q-channel inputs. Data is latched on the rising/falling (programmable) edge of the DATACLK.
Single-port mode:
Connect to GND.
45
SDO
Serial-Port Data Output
46
SDI
Serial-Port Data Input
47
SCLK
Serial-Port Clock Input. Data on SDI is latched on the rising edge of SCLK.
48
CS
Serial-Port Interface Select. Drive CS low to enable serial-port interface.
49
RESET
Reset Input. Set RESET low during power-up.
50
REFIO
Reference Input/Output. Bypass to ground with a 1F capacitor as close to the pin as possible.
51
DACREF
Current-Set Resistor Return Path. For a 20mA full-scale output current, connect a 2k
resistor between
FSADJ and DACREF. Internally connected to GND. Do not use as an external ground connection.
52
FSADJ
Full-Scale Adjust Input. This input sets the full-scale output current of the DAC. For a 20mA full-
scale output current, connect a 2k
resistor between FSADJ and DACREF.
