APPLICATION INFORMATION

The following sections give example circuits and tips for using the DAC7573 in various applications. For more

information, contact your local TI representative, or visit the Texas Instruments website at http://www.ti.com.

BASIC CONNNECTIONS

For many applications, connecting the DAC7573 is extremely simple. A basic connection diagram for the

DAC7573 is shown in Figure 40. The 0.1 µF bypass capacitors provide the momentary bursts of extra current

needed from the supplies.

DAC7573. The DAC7573 does not perform clock-stretching (i.e., it never pulls the clock line low), so it is not

of the these resistors depend on the bus operating speed and capacitance on the bus lines. Higher-value

resistors consume less power, but increase the transition times on the bus, limiting the bus speed. Lower-value

resistors allow higher speed at the expense of higher power consumption. Long bus lines have higher

capacitance and require smaller pullup resistors to compensate. If the pullup resistors are too small the bus

drivers may not be able to pull the bus line low.

Most microcontrollers have programmable input/output pins that can be set in software to act as inputs or

protocol simulated, or bit-banged, in software. An example of this for a single DAC7573 is shown in Figure 41.
