The DAC161P997's digital input is compatible with standard isolation transformers and opto-couplers. Error detection and handshaking features within the SWIF protocol ensure error free communication across the isolation boundary. For applications where isolation is not required, the DAC161P997 interfaces directly to a microcontroller. The loop drive of the DAC161P997 interfaces to a HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) modulator, allowing injection of FSK modulated digital data into the 4-20 mA current loop. This combination of specifications and features makes the DAC161P997 ideal for 2- and 4-wire industrial transmitters. 2 Application * * * * * * * * Two-Wire, 4-20 mA Current Loop Transmitter Industrial Process Control Actuator Control Factory Automation Building Automation Precision Instruments Data Acquisition Systems Test Systems The DAC161P997 is available in a 16-lead WQFN package and is specified over the extended industrial temperature range of -40C to 105C.

The DAC's output is a current pulse train that is filtered by the on-board low pass RC filter. The final output current is a multiplied copy of the filtered modulator output. This architecture ensures an excellent linearity performance, while minimizing power consumption of the device. The DAC161P997 eases the design of robust, precise, long-term stable industrial systems by integrating all precision elements on-chip. Only a few external components are needed to realize a low-power, high-precision industrial 4-20 mA transmitter. In case of a fault, or during initial power-up the DAC161P997 will output current in either upper or lower error current band. The choice of band is user selectable via a device pin. The error current value is user programmable via the SWIF link by the Master. 7.2 Functional Block Diagram VD ERRB LOW ERRLVL SWIF COMD DACCODE DBACK CONTROLLER DIN 6' OSC ERR_LOW CONFIG3 ERR_HIGH CONFIG2 LCK COMD CONFIG1 ACKB POR COMD NC VA VA 15k 15k 15k + - BASE IREF COMA COMA 80k 40 OUT C1 C2 C3 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Error Detection and Reporting The user can modify the CONFIG2:(LOOP | CHANNEL | PARITY | FRAME) bits to mask or enable the reporting of any of the detectable fault conditions. The DAC161P997 reports errors by asserting the ERRB signal, and by setting the current sourced by OUT to a value dictated by the state at ERRLVL pin and the contents of the ERR_HIGH and ERR_LOW registers. Once the condition causing the fault is removed the OUT will return to the last valid output level prior to the occurrence of the fault. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DAC161P997 DAC161P997 www.ti.com SNAS515G - JULY 2011 - REVISED DECEMBER 2014 Feature Description (continued) Table 1 below summarizes the detectable faults, and means of reporting. The interval TM is governed by the internal timer and is specified in Electrical Characteristics. Table 1. Error Detection and Reporting REPORTING ERROR LOOP CHANNEL CAUSE The device cannot sustain the required output current at OUT pin, typically caused by drop in loop supply, or increased load impedance.

The error current bands are defined as either above 20 mA, or below 4mA. The error band selection is done via the ERRLVL pin. The exact value of the output current used to indicate fault is dictated by the contents of ERR_HIGH and ERR_LOW registers. See ERR_LOW and ERR_HIGH. The default settings for LOW ERROR CURRENT and HIGH ERROR CURRENT are specified in Electrical Characteristics 7.4 Device Functional Modes SWIF is a versatile and robust solution for transmitting digital data over the galvanic isolation boundary using just one isolation element: a pulse transformer. Digital data format achieves the information transmission without the loss of fidelity which usually afflicts transmissions employing PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) schemes. Digital transmission format also makes possible data differentiation: user can specify whether given data word is a DAC input to be converted to loop current, or it is a device configuration word. SWIF was designed to use in conjunction with pulse transformer as an isolation element. The use of the transformers to cross the isolation boundary is typical in the legacy systems due to their robustness, low-power consumption, and low cost. However, system implementation is not limited to the transformer as a link since SWIF easily interfaces with opto-couplers, or it can be directly driven by a CMOS gate. SWIF incorporates a number of features that address robustness aspect of the data link design: Bidirectional signal flow the DAC161P997 can issue an ACKNOWLEDGE pulse back to the master transmitter, via the same physical channel, to confirm the reception of the valid data; Error Detection SWIF protocol incorporates frame length detection and parity checks as a method of verifying the integrity of the received data; Channel Activity Detection SWIF can monitor the data channel and raise an error flag should the expected activity drop below programmable threshold, due to , for example, damage to the physical channel. In the typical system the Master is a micro controller. SWIF has been implemented on a number of popular micro controllers where it places minimum demands on the hardware or software resources even of the simple 8-bit devices.

At lowest data rates, with long inactive inter-frame periods, the power consumed by SWIF is negligible. See Inter-Frame Period. 7.5 Programming 7.5.1 Single-Wire Interface (SWIF) SWIF provides flexible and easy to implement digital data link between the Master (transmitter) and the Slave (receiver). The Master encodes the digital data into a square (NRZ) CMOS level waveform which can be generated using common microcontroller resources. The Slave (DAC161P997) translates the waveform back into a bit stream which is then interpreted as the output current update or configuration data. SWIF can operate in both Simplex (unidirectional) and Half-Duplex (bidirectional) modes. In the DAC161P997's implementation of SWIF, an Acknowledge pulse constitutes the reverse data flowing from the Slave back to the Master. In its simplest implementation, the waveform can be directly coupled to the DAC161P997 input. In typical systems, however, SWIF data is transmitted via the galvanic isolation element such as pulse transformer or an opto-coupler. The details of the circuit implementations are discussed in Interface Circuit. Frame Format through Symbol Set describe the data encoding and the SWIF protocol. 7.5.1.1 Frame Format A frame begins with a minimum of one idle symbol. There can be more than one and each has the effect of resetting the frame buffer of the DAC161P997. After idle symbol "D" a Tag Bit specifies the destination of the frame. If the tag is symbol `0' then frame's destination is the DACCODE register. If tag is a `1' the destination is one of the configuration registers. The following 16 symbols constitute the data payload. If current frame is a DAC frame, the entire payload is a single DACCODE word. If it is a configuration frame, the first byte is the register address and the second byte is the register data. Words are transmitted MSB first. Two parity symbols follow the payload. The first parity symbol is determined by the bit parity of the tag bit and the first byte of payload (HIGH Slice) - a total of nine symbols. The second parity symbol corresponds to bit parity of the second byte of payload only (LOW Slice) - a total of 8 symbols. P0 = [ ( Number of ones in LOW Slice ) mod 2 == 0 ] P1 = [ ( Number of ones in HIGH Slice ) mod 2 == 0 ] Symbol `D' after the parity bits completes a valid frame. The symbol "A" is optional, but if present it has to immediately follow the last "D" symbol of the frame. The duration of acknowledge symbol "A" is always twice the duration of P0 symbol preceding it. See Figure 12. SWIF does not require that all symbols in valid frames are sent by the Master at a fixed Baud rate. Each symbol is evaluated individually and is recognized as valid as long as it conforms to the duration requirement (Tp) and its duty cycle falls outside of noise margins. (See Table 2 below.) 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DAC161P997 DAC161P997 www.ti.com SNAS515G - JULY 2011 - REVISED DECEMBER 2014 Programming (continued) DAC Input Data Frame Parity Bits Tag Bit D 0 DATA[15:8] DATA[7:0] +,*+VOLFH P1 P0 D A /2:VOLFH Configuration Data Frame Tag Bit D 1 Parity Bits REG.

Data Frame Format 7.5.1.2 Inter-Frame Period The fastest DAC update rate is achieved when Master sends the valid frames back to back, Continuous Mode, at the fastest Baud rate. This, however, results in the least power efficient implementation. Frame Frame Frame SWIF is designed to operate in the Burst Mode as well, where the valid frames are separated by the inter-frame periods that do not carry any data. The inter-frame period can be occupied by a stream of idle `D' or `L' symbols. Interframe Period Frame D D D D Frame Sending the `D' symbol in the inter-frame period provides continuous verification of integrity of the data link. The device by default monitors the activity of the SWIF link, and if the activity ceases the ERRB flag is asserted. See CONFIG2 and Error Detection and Reporting. Interframe Period Frame Frame Sending the `L' in the inter-frame period results in the transmission line being inactive (transition-free) except when the data frames are being transmitted. This is the most power efficient implementation of SWIF link, but it does not facilitate link integrity reporting. To avoid ERRB being asserted due to the channel inactivity, CONFIG2.CHANNEL should be cleared. 7.5.1.3 Symbol Set The digital data encoding scheme is outlined in the table below.

The buffers A and B comprise a square waveform recovery circuit in applications where a pulse transformer is used to cross the galvanic isolation boundary, see Transformer Coupled Interface - Data Flow to the DAC. The ACKB output and its internal NMOS switch provide the means of reversing the direction of data flow through the coupling transformer see Transformer Coupled Interface - Acknowledge Pulse.

SWIF Front End 7.5.1.4.1 Transformer Coupled Interface - Data Flow to the DAC In systems requiring galvanic isolation between the transmitter (micro-controller) and the receiver, the commonly used coupling element is a pulse transformer. Transformer passes only the AC components of the square input waveform resulting in an impulse train across the secondary winding. Buffers A and B form a latch circuit around the secondary winding that recovers the square waveform from the impulse train. Figure 15 shows the details of the square waveform transmission from the primary side and recovery of the signal on the secondary side. Transmitter's DC component is blocked by the capacitor CP. The transmitter's output waveform VO results in the impulse train VP across the primary winding. Similar impulse train then appears across the secondary winding. If the magnitude of the impulse exceeds the threshold on the A buffer, the latch formed by A and B buffers will change state. The new latch state will persist until an opposite polarity impulse appears across the secondary winding. Note that in Figure 15 the capacitor CS bottom plate floats, and thus does not affect the operation of this circuit.

On the secondary side buffer B drives the square waveform across the transformer. Capacitor CS, whose bottom plate is now grounded via the ACKB pin, blocks the DC component of the square waveform.

Such circuit as the internal buffer A is sufficient for the signal recovery as the signal presented at the DIN input is a square CMOS level waveform. In noisy environments it may be necessary to implement a Hysteresis loop around the DIN input to improve noise immunity of the input circuit. Presence of the buffer C and its output resistor facilitate this. The Hysteresis can be easily realized by inserting RIN between the transmitter and DIN input. Note that when RIN = 0 the presence of the buffer C can be ignored. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DAC161P997 DAC161P997 www.ti.com SNAS515G - JULY 2011 - REVISED DECEMBER 2014 to SWIF decoder C 8k DIN Tx A RIN DAC161P997 Figure 17.

In the example circuit shown in Figure 19 the rising edge of VO ultimately results in an impulse at the input DIN, see Figure 20. Once voltage at DIN is above VIH of the A buffer, the A buffer will change its state. However, the latch will acquire a new state only if the voltage at DIN persists above VIH for TPEAK > TD. The parasitic elements in the transformer model: LLS, LSP, CWS, CWP may result in the oscillating component superimposed on the dominant impulse response waveform shown in Figure 20. The oscillation should be controlled so that the condition TPEAK> TD is maintained. The typical method for controlling this parasitic oscillation is to insert a damping element into the signal path. A small resistance in series with transformer winding is such damping element. The typical application example in Typical Application illustrates this. The delay around the SWIF input latch, from DIN to DBACK, TD is specified in Electrical Characteristics.

TI's customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 8.1 Application Information 8.1.1 16-BIT DAC and Loop Drive 8.1.1.1 DC Characteristics The DAC converts the 16-bit input code in the DACCODE register to an equivalent current output. The DAC output is a current pulse which is then filtered by a 3rd order RC low-pass filter and boosted to produce the loop current ILOOP at the device OUT pin. Figure 21 shows the principle of operation of the DAC161P997 in the Loop Powered Transmitter - the circuit details were omitted for clarity. In this figure ID and IA represent supply (quiescent) currents of the internal digital and analog blocks. IAUX represents supply (quiescent) current of companion devices present in the system, such as the voltage regulator and the SWIF channel. By observing that the control loop formed by the amplifier and the bipolar transistor forces the voltage across R1 and R2 to be equal, it can be shown that, under normal conditions, the ILOOP is dependent only on IDAC through the following relationship: (1) While ILOOP has a number of component currents, ILOOP = IDAC+ID+IA+IAUX+IE, it is only IE that is regulated by the loop to maintain the relationship shown above. Since it is only IE's magnitude that is controlled, not its direction, there is a lower limit to ILOOP. This limit is dependent on the fixed components IA and ID, and on system implementation through IAUX.

Self-Powered Transmitter 8.1.1.1.1 DC Input-Output Transfer Function The output current sourced by the OUT pin of the device is expressed by: (2) The valid DACCODE range is the full 16-bit code space (0x0000 to 0xFFFF), which results in the IDAC range of 0 to approximately 12 A. This, however, does not result in the ILOOP range of 0 to 24 mA. The maximum output current sourced out of OUT pin, ILOOP, is 24 mA. The minimum output current is dependent on the system implementation. The minimum output current is the sum of supply currents of the DAC161P997 internal blocks, IA, ID, and companion devices present in the system, IAUX. The last component current IE can theoretically be controlled down to 0 but, due to the stability considerations of the control loop, it is advised not to allow the IE to drop below 200 A. The graph in Figure 23 shows the DC transfer characteristic of the 4 - 20 mA transmitter, including minimum current limits. The minimum current limit for the Loop-Powered Transmitter is typically around 400 A (ID+IA+IAUX+IE). The minimum current limit for the Self-Powered Transmitter is typically around 200 A (IE). Typical values for ID and IA are listed in Electrical Characteristics. IE depends on the BJT device used.

DAC-DC Transfer Function 8.1.1.1.2 Loop Interface The DAC161P997 cannot directly interface to the typical 4 - 20 mA loop due to the excessive loop supply voltage. The loop interface has to provide the means of stepping down the LOOP Supply down to 3.6V. This can be accomplished with either a linear regulator (LDO) or switching regulator while keeping in mind that the regulator's quiescent current will have direct effect on the minimum achievable ILOOP (see DC Input-Output Transfer Function). The second component of the loop interface is the external NPN transistor (BJT). This device is part of the control circuit that regulates the transmitter's output current (ILOOP). Since the BJT operates over the wide current range, spanning at least 4 - 20 mA, it is necessary to degenerate the emitter in order to stabilize transistor's transconductance (gm). The degeneration resistor of 22 is suggested in typical applications. For circuit details, see Typical Application. The NPN BJT should not be replaced with an N-channel FET (Field Effect Transistor) for the following reasons: discrete FET's typically have high threshold voltages (VT), in the order of 1.5 V to 2 V, which is beyond the BASE output maximum range; discrete FET's present higher load capacitance which may degrade system stability margins; and BASE output relies on the BJT's base current for biasing. 8.1.1.1.3 Loop Compliance The maximum V(LOOP+,LOOP-) potential is limited by the choice of step-down regulator, and the external BJT's Collector Emitter breakdown voltage. For minimum V(LOOP+, LOOP-) potential consider Figure 22. Here, observe that V(LOOP+,LOOP-) min(VCE) + ILOOPRE + ILOOPR2 = min(VCE) + 0.53V + 0.96V = 3.66V, at ILOOP = 24mA. The voltage drop across internal R2 is specified in Electrical Characteristics. 8.1.1.2 AC Characteristics The approximate frequency dependent characteristics of the loop drive circuit can be analyzed using the circuit in Figure 24: 22 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DAC161P997 DAC161P997 www.ti.com SNAS515G - JULY 2011 - REVISED DECEMBER 2014 Application Information (continued) LOOP+ RX1 DAC161P997 Gm IAUX + + BASE A(s) gm CX1 CX2 - - ro CX3 IDAC RE COMA R1 R2 CX4 OUT LOOP- Figure 24. Capacitances Affecting Control Loop Here it is assumed that the internal amplifier dominates the frequency response of the system, and it has a single pole response. The BJT's response, in the bandwidth of the control loop, is assumed to be frequency independent and is characterized by the transconductance gm and the output resistance ro. As in previous sections IDAC and IAUX represent the filtered output of the modulator and the quiescent current of the companion devices. The circuit in Figure 24 can be further simplified by omitting the on-board capacitances, whose effect will be discussed in Stability, and by combining the amplifier, the external transistor and resistor RE into one Gm block. The resulting circuit is shown in Figure 25. By assuming that the BJT's output resistance (ro) is large, the loop current ILOOP can be expressed as: (3) LOOP+ ILOOP A(s)Gmve A(s)Gm + + IAUX - ro ve - IDAC R1 R2 ILOOP LOOP- Figure 25.

IDAC follows the low-pass, and the IAUX follows the high-pass path. In both cases the corner frequency is dependent on the effective transconductance, Gm, of the external transistor. This implies that control loop dynamics could vary with the output current ILOOP if Gm were allowed to be just native device transconductance gm. This undesirable behavior is mitigated by the degenerating resistor RE which stabilizes Gm as follows: (7) This results in the frequency response which is largely independent of the output current ILOOP: R1 ) ILOOP = IDAC (1 + R2 R2 & RE o s + IAUX R2 R2 s + Ao &o s + Ao &o RE RE Ao (8) While the bandwidth of the IDAC path may not be of great consequence given the low frequency nature of the 420 mA current loop systems, the location of the pole in the IAUX path directly affects PSRR of the transmitter circuit. This is further discussed in PSRR. 8.1.1.2.1 Step Response The transient input-output characteristics of the DAC161P997 are dominated by the response of the RC filter at the output of the DAC. Settling times due to step input are shown in Typical Characteristics. 8.1.1.2.2 Output Impedance The output impedance is described as: (9) By considering the circuit in Figure 25, and setting IDAC = IAUX = 0, the following expression can be obtained: (10) As in AC Characteristics an assumption can be made on the frequency response of the internal amplifier, and the effective transconductance Gm should be stabilized with external RE leading to: (11) The output impedance of the transmitter is a product of the external BJT's output resistance ro, and the frequency characteristics of the internal amplifier. At low frequencies this results in a large impedance that does not significantly affect the output current accuracy. 24 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2011-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: DAC161P997 DAC161P997 www.ti.com SNAS515G - JULY 2011 - REVISED DECEMBER 2014 Application Information (continued) 8.1.1.2.3 PSRR Power Supply Rejection Ratio is defined as the ability of the current control loop to reject the variations in the supply current of the companion devices, IAUX. Specifically: (12) It was shown in AC Characteristics that the IAUX affects ILOOP via the high-pass path whose corner frequency is dependent on the effective Gm of the external BJT. If that dependence were not mitigated with the degenerating resistor RE, the PSRR would be degraded at low output current ILOOP. The typical PSRR performance of the transmitter shown in Typical Application is shown in Typical Characteristics. 8.1.1.2.4 Stability The current control loop's stability is affected by the impedances present in the system. Figure 24 shows the simplified diagram of the control loop, formed by the on-board amplifier and an external BJT, and the lumped capacitances CX1 through CX4 that model any other external elements. CX1 typically represents a local step-down regulator, or LDO, and any other companion devices powered from the LOOP+. This capacitance reduces the stability margins of the control loop, and therefore it should be limited. RX1 can be used to isolate CX1 from LOOP+ node and thus remedy the stability margin reduction. If RX1 = 0, CX1 cannot exceed 10 nF. RX1 = 200 is recommended if it can be tolerated. Minimum RX1 = 40 if CX1 exceeds 10 nF. CX3 also adversely affects stability of the loop and it must be limited to 20 pF. CX4 affects the control loop in the same way as CX1, and it should be treated in the same way as CX1. CX2 is the only capacitance that improves stability margins of the control loop. Its maximum size is limited only by the safety requirements. Stability is a function of ILOOP as well. Since ILOOP is approximately equal to the collector current of the external BJT, Gm of the BJT, and thus loop dynamics, depend on ILOOP. This dependence can be reduced by degenerating the emitter of the BJT with a small resistance as discussed in Loop Interface. Inductance in series with the LOOP+ and LOOP- do not significantly affect the control loop. 8.1.1.2.5 Noise and Ripple The output of the DAC is a current pulse train. The transition density varies throughout the DAC input code range (ILOOP range). At the extremes of the code range, the transition density is the lowest which results in low frequency components of the DAC output passing through the RC filter. Hence, the magnitude of the ripple present in ILOOP is the highest at the ends of the transfer characteristic of the device (see Typical Characteristics). It should be noted that at wide noise measurement bandwidth, it is the ripple due to the modulator that dominates the noise performance of the device throughout the entire code range of the DAC. This results in the "U" shaped noise characteristic as a function of output current. At narrow bandwidths, and particularly at midscale output currents, it is the amplifier driving the external BJT that starts to dominate as a noise source. 8.1.1.2.6 Digital Feedthrough Digital feedthrough is indiscernible from the ripple induced by the modulator. 8.1.1.2.7 HART Signal Injection The HART specification requires minimum suppression of the sensor signal in the HART signal band (1-2 kHz) of about 60 dB.

While transmitting, Master drives the pri_tx_en_n LOW and sources data stream onto the pri_tx. The circuit path is through buffer `a', transformer primary winding, DC blocking capacitor to GND. While receiving, Master drives the pri_tx_en_n HIGH and `listens' for acknowledge signal pri_rx.

SWIF Without Acknowledge Capability Figure 31 shows the DC coupled SWIF link realization. In this example ACKB output is used to generate the Acknowledge pulse. This is equivalent to the Acknowledge pulse generated at DBACK, since in transformer coupled application both ACKB and DBACK have to be pulsed to transmit back to the Master. Note that the pulse generated by ACKB is active LOW. DBACK pri_tx DIN Master ackb ACKB DAC161P997 (Slave) COMD Figure 31.

Multilayer ceramic bypass X7R capacitors of 0.1F between the VA and GND pins, and between the VD and GND pins are recommended. If the supply is located more than a few inches from the DAC161P997, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors. An electrolytic capacitor with a value of 10 F or 22 F is a typical choice 10 Layout 10.1 Layout Guidelines To maximize the performance of the DAC161S997 in any application, good layout practices and proper circuit design must be followed. A few recommendations specific to the DAC161S997 are: * Make sure that VD and VA have decoupling capacitors local to the respective terminals. * Minimize trace length between the C1, C2, and C3 capacitors and the DAC161S997 pins. 10.2 Layout Example Figure 34 and Figure 35 show the DAC161S997 evaluation module (EVM) layout Figure 34.
