Speedy access for 16Mbit Flash
The Eon Silicon Solutions EN29LV160 is a 16Mbit erasable, read/write nonvolatile Flash memory.
According to Tom Freeman, Focus EDL's FAE for the ICmic product family, this new DAC is the first of a range of low cost, high performance devices that the company will announce over the next quarter.
"The ICmic product range will satisfy a very wide range of applications where the need to get the highest performance within a tough budget is key".
"These DACs are drop-in replacements for industry standard parts and, when used in production quantities, they offer considerable cost savings", says Freeman.
Packaged in a 16-pin QSOP, the ICM7363 features a 1.25V reference and will operate from a supply range between 2.7 and 5.5V.
The reference output is available on a separate pin and can be used to drive the reference input of each DAC.
Alternatively, each DAC can be driven by an external reference.
Current drain is 150uA per DAC at 5V and 100uA per DAC at 3V.
Full scale settling time is just 8us.
The input interface is an easy to use three-wire SPI/QSPI compatible interface.
Each DAC can be individually controlled and has a double buffered digital input.
A serial data output allows daisychaining.
