Ulta low power DACs
« on: October 13, 2017, 01:24:23 am »
As usual I have been put to task finding an ultra low power precision DAC. Product power budget is set at 500mW total. There are a zillion DACS out there so just asking if someone here has dealt with finding such a part. It has to be 16 bits, SPI input, and I think separate power supply for the analog output would be best but not necessary. Thank you in advance!

You didn't mention what sample rate (SPI suggests an upper limit of a few Msps at most) but 500mW is not typically "low power". Did you mean 500uW?
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.

The 500mW is the total system power budget including 2 ADC's, FPGA, uP, and 5 DAC channels. So single digit mW's or lower is needed. I may have to utilize shutdown mode to realize that kind of average power.

An FPGA too ? in 500 mW ? Which one, can I ask ?
