DAC104S085 DAC104S085 10-Bit Micro Power QUAD Digital-to-Analog Converter with Rail-to-Rail Output Literature Number: SNAS362D DAC104S085 10-Bit Micro Power QUAD Digital-to-Analog Converter with Rail-to-Rail Output General Description Features The DAC104S085 is a full-featured, general purpose QUAD 10-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that can operate from a single +2.7V to 5.5V supply and consumes 1.1 mW at 3V and 2.5 mW at 5V. The DAC104S085 is packaged in 10-lead LLP and MSOP packages. The 10-lead LLP package makes the DAC104S085 the smallest QUAD DAC in its class. The on-chip output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing and the three wire serial interface operates at clock rates up to 40 MHz over the entire supply voltage range. Competitive devices are limited to 25 MHz clock rates at supply voltages in the 2.7V to 3.6V range. The serial interface is compatible with standard SPITM, QSPI, MICROWIRE and DSP interfaces. The reference for the DAC104S085 serves all four channels and can vary in voltage between 1V and VA, providing the widest possible output dynamic range. The DAC104S085 has a 16-bit input shift register that controls the outputs to be updated, the mode of operation, the powerdown condition, and the binary input data. All four outputs can be updated simultaneously or individually depending on the setting of the two mode of operation bits. A power-on reset circuit ensures that the DAC output powers up to zero volts and remains there until there is a valid write to the device. A power-down feature reduces power consumption to less than a microWatt with three different termination options. The low power consumption and small packages of the DAC104S085 make it an excellent choice for use in battery operated equipment. The DAC104S085 is one of a family of pin compatible DACs, including the 8-bit DAC084S085 and the 12-bit DAC124S085. The DAC104S085 operates over the extended industrial temperature range of -40C to +105C.

Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. Operation of the device beyond the maximum Operating Ratings is not recommended. Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified. Note 3: When the input voltage at any pin exceeds 5.5V or is less than GND, the current at that pin should be limited to 10 mA. The 20 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 10 mA to two. Note 4: The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by TJmax, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (JA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula PDMAX = (TJmax - TA) / JA. The values for maximum power dissipation will be reached only when the device is operated in a severe fault condition (e.g., when input or output pins are driven beyond the operating ratings, or the power supply polarity is reversed). Note 5: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through ZERO Ohms. Note 6: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free packages. Note 7: The inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes up to 5.5V, regardless of VA, will not cause errors in the conversion result. For example, if VA is 3V, the digital input pins can be driven with a 5V logic device. 20195304 www.national.com 6 Note 9: Typical figures are at TJ = 25C, and represent most likely parametric norms. Test limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level). Note 10: This parameter is guaranteed by design and/or characterization and is not tested in production. LSB = VREF / 2n Specification Definitions where VREF is the supply voltage for this product, and "n" is the DAC resolution in bits, which is 10 for the DAC104S085. MAXIMUM LOAD CAPACITANCE is the maximum capacitance that can be driven by the DAC with output stability maintained. MONOTONICITY is the condition of being monotonic, where the DAC has an output that never decreases when the input code increases. MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT (MSB) is the bit that has the largest value or weight of all bits in a word. Its value is 1/2 of VA. MULTIPLYING BANDWIDTH is the frequency at which the output amplitude falls 3dB below the input sine wave on VREFIN with a full-scale code loaded into the DAC. POWER EFFICIENCY is the ratio of the output current to the total supply current. The output current comes from the power supply. The difference between the supply and output currents is the power consumed by the device without a load. SETTLING TIME is the time for the output to settle to within 1/2 LSB of the final value after the input code is updated. TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the measure of the harmonics present at the output of the DACs with an ideal sine wave applied to VREFIN. THD is measured in dB. WAKE-UP TIME is the time for the output to exit power-down mode. This is the time from the falling edge of the 16th SCLK pulse to when the output voltage deviates from the powerdown voltage of 0V. ZERO CODE ERROR is the output error, or voltage, present at the DAC output after a code of 000h has been entered. DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1 LSB, which is VREF / 1024 = VA / 1024. DAC-to-DAC CROSSTALK is the glitch impulse transferred to a DAC output in response to a full-scale change in the output of another DAC. DIGITAL CROSSTALK is the glitch impulse transferred to a DAC output at mid-scale in response to a full-scale change in the input register of another DAC. DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH is a measure of the energy injected into the analog output of the DAC from the digital inputs when the DAC outputs are not updated. It is measured with a full-scale code change on the data bus. FULL-SCALE ERROR is the difference between the actual output voltage with a full scale code (3FFh) loaded into the DAC and the value of VA x 1023 / 1024. GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the transfer function. It can be calculated from Zero and FullScale Errors as GE = FSE - ZE, where GE is Gain error, FSE is Full-Scale Error and ZE is Zero Error. GLITCH IMPULSE is the energy injected into the analog output when the input code to the DAC register changes. It is specified as the area of the glitch in nanovolt-seconds. INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a straight line through the input to output transfer function. The deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured from the center of that code value. The end point method is used. INL for this product is specified over a limited range, per the Electrical Tables. LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT (LSB) is the bit that has the smallest value or weight of all bits in a word. This value is 7 www.national.com DAC104S085 Note 8: To guarantee accuracy, it is required that VA and VREFIN be well bypassed. DAC104S085 Transfer Characteristic 20195305 FIGURE 1.

For this reason, linearity is specified over less than the full output range of the DAC. However, if the reference is less than VA, there is only a loss in linearity in the lowest codes. The output capabilities of the amplifier are described in the Electrical Tables. The output amplifiers are capable of driving a load of 2 k in parallel with 1500 pF to ground or to VA. The zero-code and full-scale outputs for given load currents are available in the Electrical Characterisics Table. 1.0 Functional Description 1.1 DAC SECTION The DAC104S085 is fabricated on a CMOS process with an architecture that consists of switches and resistor strings that are followed by an output buffer. The reference voltage is externally applied at VREFIN and is shared by all four DACs. For simplicity, a single resistor string is shown in Figure 3. This string consists of 1024 equal valued resistors with a switch at each junction of two resistors, plus a switch to ground. The code loaded into the DAC register determines which switch is closed, connecting the proper node to the amplifier. The input coding is straight binary with an ideal output voltage of: 1.3 RERENCE VOLTAGE The DAC104S085 uses a single external reference that is shared by all four channels. The reference pin, VREFIN, is not buffered and has an input impedance of 30 k. It is recommended that VREFIN be driven by a voltage source with low output impedance. The reference voltage range is 1.0V to VA, providing the widest possible output dynamic range. VOUTA,B,C,D = VREFIN x (D / 1024) where D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded into the DAC register. D can take on any value between 0 and 1023. This configuration guarantees that the DAC is monotonic. 1.4 SERIAL INTERFACE The three-wire interface is compatible with SPI, QSPI and MICROWIRE, as well as most DSPs and operates at clock rates up to 40 MHz. See the Timing Diagram for information on a write sequence. A write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC line low. Once SYNC is low, the data on the DIN line is clocked into the 16bit serial input register on the falling edges of SCLK. To avoid misclocking data into the shift register, it is critical that SYNC not be brought low simultaneously with a falling edge of SCLK (see Serial Timing Diagram, Figure 2). On the 16th falling clock edge, the last data bit is clocked in and the programmed function (a change in the DAC channel address, mode of operation and/or register contents) is executed. At this point the SYNC line may be kept low or brought high. Any data and clock pusles after the 16th falling clock edge will be ignored. In either case, SYNC must be brought high for the minimum specified time before the next write sequence is initiated with a falling edge of SYNC. Since the SYNC and DIN buffers draw more current when they are high, they should be idled low between write sequences to minimize power consumption. 1.5 INPUT SHIFT REGISTER The input shift register, Figure 4, has sixteen bits. The first two bits are address bits. They determine whether the register data is for DAC A, DAC B, DAC C, or DAC D. The address bits are followed by two bits that determine the mode of operation (writing to a DAC register without updating the outputs of all four DACs, writing to a DAC register and updating the outputs of all four DACs, writing to the register of all four DACs and updating their outputs, or powering down all four outputs). The final twelve bits of the shift register are the data bits. The data format is straight binary (MSB first, LSB last), with all 0's corresponding to an output of 0V and all 1's corresponding to a full-scale output of VREFIN - 1 LSB. The contents of the serial input register are transferred to the DAC register on the sixteenth falling edge of SCLK. See Timing Diagram, Figure 2. 20195307 FIGURE 3. DAC Resistor String 1.2 OUTPUT AMPLIFIERS The output amplifiers are rail-to-rail, providing an output voltage range of 0V to VA when the reference is VA. All amplifiers, even rail-to-rail types, exhibit a loss of linearity as the output www.national.com 14 DAC104S085 20195308 FIGURE 4. Input Register Contents down modes. However, the contents of the DAC registers are unaffected when in power-down. Each DAC register maintains its value prior to the DAC104S085 being powered down unless it is changed during the write sequence which instructed it to recover from power down. Minimum power consumption is achieved in the power-down mode with SYNC and DIN idled low and SCLK disabled. The time to exit power-down (Wake-Up Time) is typically tWU sec as stated in the A.C. and Timing Characteristics table. Normally, the SYNC line is kept low for at least 16 falling edges of SCLK and the DAC is updated on the 16th SCLK falling edge. However, if SYNC is brought high before the 16th falling edge, the data transfer to the shift register is aborted and the write sequence is invalid. Under this condition, the DAC register is not updated and there is no change in the mode of operation or in the DAC output voltages. 1.6 POWER-ON RESET The power-on reset circuit controls the output voltages of the four DACs during power-up. Upon application of power, the DAC registers are filled with zeros and the output voltages are 0V. The outputs remain at 0V until a valid write sequence is made to the DAC. 2.0 Applications Information 2.1 USING REFERENCES AS POWER SUPPLIES While the simplicity of the DAC104S085 implies ease of use, it is important to recognize that the path from the reference input (VREFIN) to the VOUTs will have essentially zero Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). Therefore, it is necessary to provide a noise-free supply voltage to VREFIN. In order to utilize the full dynamic range of the DAC104S085, the supply pin (VA) and VREFIN can be connected together and share the same supply voltage. Since the DAC104S085 consumes very little power, a reference source may be used as the reference input and/or the supply voltage. The advantages of using a reference source over a voltage regulator are accuracy and stability. Some low noise regulators can also be used. Listed below are a few reference and power supply options for the DAC104S085. 1.7 POWER-DOWN MODES The DAC104S085 has four power-down modes, two of which are identical. In power-down mode, the supply current drops to 20 A at 3V and 30 A at 5V. The DAC104S085 is set in power-down mode by setting OP1 and OP0 to 11. Since this mode powers down all four DACs, the address bits, A1 and A0, are used to select different output terminations for the DAC outputs. Setting A1 and A0 to 00 or 11 causes the outputs to be tri-stated (a high impedance state). While setting A1 and A0 to 01 or 10 causes the outputs to be terminated by 2.5 k or 100 k to ground respectively (see Table 1). TABLE 1. Power-Down Modes A1 A0 OP1 OP0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 2.5 k to GND 1 0 1 1 100 k to GND 1 1 1 1 High-Z outputs 2.1.1 LM4130 The LM4130, with its 0.05% accuracy over temperature, is a good choice as a reference source for the DAC104S085. The 4.096V version is useful if a 0 to 4.095V output range is desirable or acceptable. Bypassing the LM4130 VIN pin with a 0.1F capacitor and the VOUT pin with a 2.2F capacitor will improve stability and reduce output noise. The LM4130 comes in a space-saving 5-pin SOT23.

The maximum resistor value must allow the LM4050 to draw more than its minimum current for regulation plus the maximum DAC104S085 current in full operation. The conditions for minimum current include the input voltage at its minimum, the LM4050 voltage at its maximum, the resistor value at its maximum due to tolerance, and the DAC104S085 draws its maximum current. These conditions can be summarized as 2.1.2 LM4050 Available with accuracy of 0.44%, the LM4050 shunt reference is also a good choice as a reference for the DAC104S085. It is available in 4.096V and 5V versions and comes in a space-saving 3-pin SOT23. R(min) = ( VIN(max) - VZ(min) ) /IZ(max) and R(max) = ( VIN(min) - VZ(max) ) / ( (IDAC(max) + IZ(min) ) where V Z(min) and VZ(max) are the nominal LM4050 output voltages the LM4050 output tolerance over temperature, IZ (max) is the maximum allowable current through the LM4050, IZ(min) is the minimum current required by the LM4050 for proper regulation, and IDAC(max) is the maximum DAC104S085 supply current. 2.1.3 LP3985 The LP3985 is a low noise, ultra low dropout voltage regulator with a 3% accuracy over temperature. It is a good choice for applications that do not require a precision reference for the DAC104S085. It comes in 3.0V, 3.3V and 5V versions, among others, and sports a low 30 V noise specification at low frequencies. Since low frequency noise is relatively difficult to filter, this specification could be important for some applications. The LP3985 comes in a space-saving 5-pin SOT23 and 5-bump micro SMD packages. 20195314 FIGURE 6. The LM4050 as a power supply The minimum resistor value in the circuit of Figure 6 must be chosen such that the maximum current through the LM4050 does not exceed its 15 mA rating.

It is available in 3.0V, 3.3V and 5V versions, among others. 20195316 FIGURE 8. Using the LP2980 regulator Like any low dropout regulator, the LP2980 requires an output capacitor for loop stability. This output capacitor must be at least 1.0F over temperature, but values of 2.2F or more will provide even better performance. The ESR of this capacitor should be within the range specified in the LP2980 data sheet. Surface-mount solid tantalum capacitors offer a good combination of small size and ESR. Ceramic capacitors are attractive due to their small size but generally have ESR values that are too low for use with the LP2980. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are typically not a good choice due to their large size and have ESR values that may be too high at low temperatures. 2.2 BIPOLAR OPERATION The DAC104S085 is designed for single supply operation and thus has a unipolar output. However, a bipolar output may be obtained with the circuit in Figure 9. This circuit will provide an output voltage range of 5 Volts. A rail-to-rail amplifier should be used if the amplifier supplies are limited to 5V. 20195317 FIGURE 9. Bipolar Operation The output voltage of this circuit for any code is found to be TABLE 2. Some Rail-to-Rail Amplifiers VO = (VA x (D / 1024) x ((R1 + R2) / R1) - VA x R2 / R1) where D is the input code in decimal form. With VA = 5V and R1 = R2, VO = (10 x D / 1024) - 5V A list of rail-to-rail amplifiers suitable for this application are indicated in Table 2. 17 Typ ISUPPLY AMP PKGS LMC7111 DIP-8 SOT23-5 0.9 mV 25 A LM7301 SO-8 SOT23-5 0.03 mV 620 A LM8261 SOT23-5 0.7 mV 1 mA Typ VOS www.national.com DAC104S085 An input capacitance of 1.0F without any ESR requirement is required at the LP3985 input, while a 1.0F ceramic capacitor with an ESR requirement of 5m to 500m is required at the output. Careful interpretation and understanding of the capacitor specification is required to ensure correct device operation. DAC104S085 mits data in 8-bit bytes with eight falling clock edges. Data is transmitted with the MSB first. PC7 must remain low after the first eight bits are transferred. A second write cycle is initiated to transmit the second byte of data to the DAC, after which PC7 should be raised to end the write sequence. 2.3 DSP/MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING Interfacing the DAC104S085 to microprocessors and DSPs is quite simple. The following guidelines are offered to hasten the design process. 2.3.1 ADSP-2101/ADSP2103 Interfacing Figure 10 shows a serial interface between the DAC104S085 and the ADSP-2101/ADSP2103. The DSP should be set to operate in the SPORT Transmit Alternate Framing Mode. It is programmed through the SPORT control register and should be configured for Internal Clock Operation, Active Low Framing and 16-bit Word Length. Transmission is started by writing a word to the Tx register after the SPORT mode has been enabled. 20195311 FIGURE 12. 68HC11 Interface 2.3.4 Microwire Interface Figure 13 shows an interface between a Microwire compatible device and the DAC104S085. Data is clocked out on the rising edges of the SK signal. As a result, the SK of the Microwire device needs to be inverted before driving the SCLK of the DAC104S085. 20195309 FIGURE 10. ADSP-2101/2103 Interface 2.3.2 80C51/80L51 Interface A serial interface between the DAC104S085 and the 80C51/80L51 microcontroller is shown in Figure 11. The SYNC signal comes from a bit-programmable pin on the microcontroller. The example shown here uses port line P3.3. This line is taken low when data is transmitted to the DAC104S085. Since the 80C51/80L51 transmits 8-bit bytes, only eight falling clock edges occur in the transmit cycle. To load data into the DAC, the P3.3 line must be left low after the first eight bits are transmitted. A second write cycle is initiated to transmit the second byte of data, after which port line P3.3 is brought high. The 80C51/80L51 transmit routine must recognize that the 80C51/80L51 transmits data with the LSB first while the DAC104S085 requires data with the MSB first. 20195312 FIGURE 13. Microwire Interface 2.4 LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING For best accuracy and minimum noise, the printed circuit board containing the DAC104S085 should have separate analog and digital areas. The areas are defined by the locations of the analog and digital power planes. Both of these planes should be located in the same board layer. There should be a single ground plane. A single ground plane is preferred if digital return current does not flow through the analog ground area. Frequently a single ground plane design will utilize a "fencing" technique to prevent the mixing of analog and digital ground current. Separate ground planes should only be utilized when the fencing technique is inadequate. The separate ground planes must be connected in one place, preferably near the DAC104S085. Special care is required to guarantee that digital signals with fast edge rates do not pass over split ground planes. They must always have a continuous return path below their traces. The DAC104S085 power supply should be bypassed with a 10F and a 0.1F capacitor as close as possible to the device with the 0.1F right at the device supply pin. The 10F capacitor should be a tantalum type and the 0.1F capacitor should be a low ESL, low ESR type. The power supply for the DAC104S085 should only be used for analog circuits. Avoid crossover of analog and digital signals and keep the clock and data lines on the component side of the board. The clock and data lines should have controlled impedances. 20195310 FIGURE 11. 80C51/80L51 Interface 2.3.3 68HC11 Interface A serial interface between the DAC104S085 and the 68HC11 microcontroller is shown in Figure 12. The SYNC line of the DAC104S085 is driven from a port line (PC7 in the figure), similar to the 80C51/80L51. The 68HC11 should be configured with its CPOL bit as a zero and its CPHA bit as a one. This configuration causes data on the MOSI output to be valid on the falling edge of SCLK. PC7 is taken low to transmit data to the DAC.
