When drawing a load current at either rail, the output voltage headroom with respect to that rail is limited by the 25 Ω typical channel resistance of the DAC channel

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: AD5593R

When drawing a load current at either rail, the output voltage headroom with respect to that rail is limited by the 25 Ω typical channel resistance of the DAC channel.

For example, when sinking 1 mA,the minimum output voltage = 25 Ω × 1 mA = 25 mV. 

If I need to sink 25mA current, does that mean that the minimum output voltage is 625mV, and in practice I need to supply 20mA current, what happens to the output voltage

  • Hi  ,

    Your computations are correct. However, in the AD5593R Datasheet, under the DAC performance specifications, 25mA is already the short-circuit current in typical conditions.
    You may also check Figure 26 for the DAC Output Sink and Source Capability. 
    May we know your target application so we can further assist you?
