Overview

The DAC8771 is a single-channel (quad) 16-bit precision digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The output
can be configured to produce a current in output ranges of 0 to 20 mA, 0 to 24 mA, 3.5 to 23.5 mA, or ±24
mA. It can also be configured for voltage output in ranges of 0 to 5 V, 0 to 6 V, 0 to 10 V, 0 to 12 V, ±5 V,
±6 V, ±10 V, or ±12 V. The DAC8771 includes an integrated buck-boost converter to generate all
necessary power supplies from a single external supply. The buck-boost converter features various
operating modes that can be used to enhance power dissipation and thermal performance. The DAC8771
features additional peripherals including: HART input pins for coupling of FSK HART voltage signals, slew-
rate control for the analog output, and reliability features such as CRC, watchdog timer, and conditional
alarms.
