Rainbow Electronics DS4426 User Manual
Ds4426 quad-channel, i, General description, Applications
General Description
The DS4426 contains four I
2
C-adjustable current DACs
capable of sinking or sourcing current. External resis-
tors set the full-scale range of each output. Each DAC
output has 127 sink and 127 source steps that are pro-
grammed by the I
2
C interface. Power-supply tracking
functionality is provided for three channels using dedi-
cated control inputs. Once power-supply tracking is
accomplished, the current outputs default to zero. Two
address pins allow up to four DS4426 devices to exist
on the same I
2
C bus.
