The low-power DAC7551 operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply. The DAC7551 output amplifiers can drive a 2k, 200pF load rail-to-rail with 5s settling time; the output range is set using an external voltage reference. The 3-wire serial interface operates at clock rates up to 50MHz and is compatible with SPITM, QSPITM, MicrowireTM, and DSP interface standards. The parts incorporate a power-on-reset circuit to ensure that the DAC output powers up to 0V and remains there until a valid write cycle to the device takes place. The part contains a power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of the device to under 2A. Small size and low-power operation make the DAC7551 ideally suited for battery-operated, portable applications. The power consumption is typically 0.5mW at 5V, 0.23mW at 3V, and reduces to 1W in power-down mode.

Figure 26 shows a generalized block diagram of the DAC architecture. VREFH 100kW RDIVIDER VREFH - VREFL 2 100kW R VFB 50kW DAC Register VOUT REF(+) Resistor String REF(-) R To Output Amplifier (2x Gain) VREFL Figure 26. Typical DAC Architecture The input coding to the DAC7551 is unsigned binary, which gives the ideal output voltage as: VOUT = 2 x VREFL + (VREFH - VREFL) x D/4096 R Where D = decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to the DAC register, which ranges from 0 to 4095. R RESISTOR STRING The resistor string section is shown in Figure 27. It is simply a string of resistors, each of value R. The digital code loaded to the DAC register determines at which node on the string the voltage is tapped off to be fed into the output amplifier. The voltage is tapped off by closing one of the switches connecting the string to the amplifier. It is specified monotonic because it is a string of resistors. VREFL Figure 27. Typical Resistor String Submit Documentation Feedback 11 DAC7551 www.ti.com SLAS441E - MARCH 2005 - REVISED APRIL 2007 OUTPUT BUFFER AMPLIFIERS The output buffer amplifier is capable of generating rail-to-rail voltages on its output, giving an output range of 0V to VDD. It is capable of driving a load of 2k in parallel with up to 1000pF to GND. The source and sink capabilities of the output amplifier can be seen in the typical curves. The slew rate is 1.8V/s with a half-scale settling time of 3s with the output unloaded. DAC External Reference Input The DAC7551 contains VREFH and VREFL reference inputs, which are unbuffered. The VREFH reference voltage can be as low as 0.25V, and as high as VDD because there is no restriction of headroom and footroom from any reference amplifier. It is recommended to use a buffered reference in the external circuit (for example, the REF3140). The input impedance is typically 100k. Amplifier Sense Input The DAC7551 contains an amplifier feedback input pin, VFB. For voltage output operation, VFB must be externally connected to VOUT. For better DC accuracy, this connection should be made at load points. The VFB pin is also useful for a variety of applications, including digitally-controlled current sources. The feedback input pin is internally connected to the DAC amplifier negative input terminal through a 100k resistor. The amplifier negative input terminal internally connects to ground through another 100k resistor (Figure 26). These connections form a gain-of-two, noninverting, amplifier configuration. Overall gain remains one because the resistor string has a divide-by-two configuration. The resistance seen at the VFB pin is approximately 200k to ground. order to not turn on ESD protection devices, VDD and IOVDD should be applied before any other pin (such as VREFH) is brought high. The power-up sequence of VDD and IOVDD is irrelevant. Therefore, IOVDD can be brought up before VDD, or vice-versa. Power Down The DAC7551 has a flexible power-down capability. During a power-down condition, the user has flexibility to select the output impedance of the DAC. During power-down operation, the DAC can have either 1k, 100k, or Hi-Z output impedance to ground. Asynchronous Clear The DAC7551 output is asynchronously set to zero-scale voltage immediately after the CLR pin is brought low. The CLR signal resets all internal registers and therefore behaves like the Power-On Reset. The DAC7551 updates at the first rising edge of the SYNC signal that occurs after the CLR pin is brought back to high. IOVDD and Level Shifters The DAC7551 can be used with different logic families that require a wide range of supply voltages. To enable this useful feature, the IOVDD pin must be connected to the logic supply voltage of the system. All DAC7551 digital input and output pins are equipped with level-shifter circuits. Level shifters at the input pins ensure that external logic-high voltages are translated to the internal logic-high voltage, with no additional power dissipation. Similarly, the level shifter for the SDO pin translates the internal logic-high voltage (VDD) to the external logic-high level (IOVDD). For single-supply operation, the IOVDD pin can be tied to the VDD pin. Power-On Reset On power up, all registers are cleared and the DAC channel is updated with zero-scale voltage. The DAC output remains in this state until valid data are written. This setup is particularly useful in applications where it is important to know the state of the DAC output while the device is powering up. In 12 Submit Documentation Feedback DAC7551 www.ti.com SLAS441E - MARCH 2005 - REVISED APRIL 2007 SERIAL INTERFACE The DAC7551 is controlled over a versatile 3-wire serial interface, which operates at clock rates up to 50MHz and is compatible with SPI, QSPI, Microwire, and DSP interface standards. 16-Bit Word and Input Shift Register The input shift register is 16 bits wide. DAC data are loaded into the device as a 16-bit word under the control of a serial clock input, SCLK, as shown in Figure 1, the Serial Write Operation timing diagram. The 16-bit word, illustrated in Table 1, consists of four control bits followed by 12 bits of DAC data. The data format is straight binary with all zeroes corresponding to 0V output and all ones corresponding to full-scale output (VREF - 1LSB). Data are loaded MSB first (bit 15) where the first two bits (DB15 and DB14) are don't care bits. Bit 13 and bit 12 (DB13 and DB12) determine either normal mode operation or power-down mode (see Table 1). The SYNC input is a level-triggered input that acts as a frame synchronization signal and chip enable. Data can only be transferred into the device while SYNC is low. To start the serial data transfer, SYNC should be taken low, observing the minimum SYNC to SCLK falling edge setup time, t4. After SYNC goes low, serial data is shifted into the device input shift register on the falling edges of SCLK for 16 clock pulses. The SPI interface is enabled after SYNC becomes low and the data are continuously shifted into the shift register at each falling edge of SCLK. When SYNC is brought high, the last 16 bits stored in the shift register are latched into the DAC register, and the DAC updates. Daisy-Chain Operation As long as SYNC is high, the SDO pin is in a high-impedance state. When SYNC is brought low the output of the internal shift register is tied to the SDO pin. As long as SYNC is low, SDO duplicates the SDIN signal with a 16-cycle delay. To support multiple devices in a daisy chain, SCLK and SYNC signals are shared across all devices, and SDO of one DAC7551 should be tied to the SDIN of the next DAC7551. For n devices in such a daisy chain, 16n SCLK cycles are required to shift the entire input data stream. After 16n SCLK falling edges are received, following a falling SYNC, the data stream becomes complete and SYNC can be brought high to update n devices simultaneously. SDO operation is specified at a maximum SCLK speed of 10MHz. In daisy-chain mode, the use of a weak pull-down resistor on the SDO output pin, which provides the SDIN data for the next device in the chain, is recommended. For standalone operation, the maximum clock speed is 50MHz. For daisy-chain operation, the maximum clock speed is 10MHz. INTEGRAL AND DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY The DAC7551 uses precision thin-film resistors providing exceptional linearity and monotonicity. Integral linearity error is typically within 0.35LSBs, and differential linearity error is typically within 0.08LSBs. GLITCH ENERGY The DAC7551 uses a proprietary architecture that minimizes glitch energy. The code-to-code glitches are so low that they are usually buried within the wide-band noise and cannot be easily detected. The DAC7551 glitch is typically well under 0.1nV-s. Such low glitch energy provides more than a ten-time improvement over industry alternatives. Daisy-chain operation is used for updating serially-connected devices on the rising edge of SYNC. Table 1.

The DAC7551 large-signal settling time is 5s, supporting an update rate of 200kSPS. However, the update rates can exceed 1MSPS if the waveform to be generated consists of small voltage steps between consecutive DAC updates. To obtain a high dynamic range, REF3140 (4.096V) or REF02 (5.0V) are recommended for reference voltage generation. GENERATING 5V, 10V, AND 12V OUTPUTS FOR PRECISION INDUSTRIAL CONTROL Industrial control applications can require multiple feedback loops consisting of sensors, ADCs, MCUs, DACs, and actuators. Loop accuracy and loop speed are the two important parameters of such control loops. slow the loop down. With its 1MSPS (small-signal) maximum data update rate, DAC7551 can support high-speed control loops. Ultralow glitch energy of the DAC7551 significantly improves loop stability and loop settling time. GENERATING INDUSTRIAL VOLTAGE RANGES For control loop applications, DAC gain and offset errors are not important parameters. This consideration could be exploited to lower trim and calibration costs in a high-voltage control circuit design. Using a quad operational amplifier (OPA4130), and a voltage reference (REF3140), the DAC7551 can generate the wide voltage swings required by the control loop. Vtail DAC7551 R1 REF3140 R2 Loop Accuracy VREF DAC offset, gain, and the integral linearity errors are not factors in determining the accuracy of the loop. As long as a voltage exists in the transfer curve of a monotonic DAC, the loop can find it and settle to it. On the other hand, DAC resolution and differential linearity do determine the loop accuracy, because each DAC step determines the minimum incremental change the loop can generate. A DNL error less than -1LSB (non-monotonicity) can create loop instability. A DNL error greater than +1LSB implies unnecessarily large voltage steps and missed voltage targets. With high DNL errors, the loop loses its stability, resolution, and accuracy. Offering 12-bit ensured monotonicity and 0.08LSB typical DNL error, DAC755x devices are great choices for precision control loops. Loop Speed Many factors determine the control loop speed, such as ADC conversion time, MCU speed, and DAC settling time. Typically, the ADC conversion time, and the MCU computation time are the two major factors that dominate the time constant of the loop. DAC settling time is rarely a dominant factor because ADC conversion times usually exceed DAC conversion times. DAC offset, gain, and linearity errors can slow the loop down only during the start-up. Once the loop reaches its steady-state operation, these errors do not affect loop speed any further. Depending on the ringing characteristics of the loop transfer function, DAC glitches can also VREFH DAC7551 _ Vdac + VOUT OPA4130 Figure 28. Low-cost, Wide-swing Voltage Generator for Control Loop Applications The output voltage of the configuration is given by: V OUT + V REF R2 ) 1 SDIN *V tail R2 4096 R1 R1 (1) Fixed R1 and R2 resistors can be used to coarsely set the gain required in the first term of the equation. Once R2 and R1 set the gain to include some minimal over-range, a single DAC7551 could be used to set the required offset voltages. Residual errors are not an issue for loop accuracy because offset and gain errors could be tolerated. One DAC7551 can provide the Vtail voltages, while four additional DAC7551 devices can provide Vdac voltages to generate four high-voltage outputs. A single SPI interface is sufficient to control all five DAC7551 devices in a daisy-chain configuration.
