DAC7612

Dual, 12-Bit Serial Input

DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER

DESCRIPTION

The DAC7612 is a dual, 12-bit digital-to-analog con-

verter (DAC) with guaranteed 12-bit monotonicity

performance over the industrial temperature range. It

requires a single +5V supply and contains an input

shift register, latch, 2.435V reference, a dual DAC, and

high speed rail-to-rail output amplifiers. For a full-

scale step, each output will settle to 1 LSB within 7µs

while only consuming 3.7mW.

The synchronous serial interface is compatible with a

wide variety of DSPs and microcontrollers. Clock

(CLK), Serial Data In (SDI), Chip Select (CS) and

Load DACs (LOADDACS) comprise the serial inter-

face.

The DAC7612 is available in an 8-lead SOIC package

and is fully specified over the industrial temperature

range of –40°C to +85°C.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown

recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with

appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling

and installation procedures can cause damage.

ESD damage can range from subtle performance degrada-

tion to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits

may be more susceptible to damage because very small

parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its

published specifications.

next 12 bits are the code (MSB-first) sent to the DAC. The

data format is Straight Binary and is loaded MSB-first into

the shift registers after loading the address bits. Table I shows

the relationship between input code and output voltage.

The digital data into the DAC7612 is double-buffered. This

means that new data can be entered into the chosen DAC

without disturbing the old data and the analog output of the

converter. At some point after the data has been entered into

the serial shift register, this data can be transferred into the

DAC registers. This transfer is accomplished with a HIGH

to LOW transition of the LOADDACS pin. The LOADDACS

pin makes the DAC registers transparent. If new data is

shifted into the shift register while LOADDACS is LOW,

the DAC output voltages will change as each new bit is

entered. To prevent this, LOADDACS must be returned

HIGH prior to shifting in new serial data.

DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER

The internal DAC section is a 12-bit voltage output

device that swings between ground and the internal ref-

erence voltage. The DAC is realized by a laser-trimmed

R-2R ladder network which is switched by N-channel

MOSFETs. Each DAC output is internally connected to a

rail-to-rail output operational amplifier.

OUTPUT AMPLIFIER

A precision, low-power amplifier buffers the output of each

DAC section and provides additional gain to achieve a 0V to

4.095V range. Each amplifier has low offset voltage, low

OPERATION

The DAC7612 is a dual, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter

(DAC) complete with a serial-to-parallel shift register, DAC

registers, laser-trimmed 12-bit DACs, on-board reference,

and rail-to-rail output amplifiers. Figure 1 shows the basic

operation of the DAC7612.

INTERFACE

Figure 1 shows the basic connection between a

microcontroller and the DAC7612. The interface consists of

a Serial Clock (CLK), Serial Data (SDI), and a Load DAC

signal (LOADDACS). In addition, a chip select (CS) input is

available to enable serial communication when there are

multiple serial devices. Loading either DAC A or DAC B is

done by shifting 14 serial bits in via the SDI input. The first

2 bits represent the address of the DAC to be updated and the

noise, and a set gain of 1.682V/V (4.095/2.435). See Figure

2 for an equivalent circuit schematic of the analog portion of

the DAC7612.

The output amplifier has a 7µs typical settling time to ±1

LSB of the final value. Note that there are differences in the

settling time for negative-going signals versus positive-

going signals.

The rail-to-rail output stage of the amplifier provides the full-

scale range of 0V to 4.095V while operating on a supply voltage

as low as 4.75V. In addition to its ability to drive resistive loads,

the amplifier will remain stable while driving capacitive loads

of up to 500pF. See Figure 3 for an equivalent circuit schematic

of the amplifier’s output driver and the Typical Performance

Curves section for more information regarding settling time,

load driving capability, and output noise.

POWER SUPPLY

A BiCMOS process and careful design of the bipolar and

CMOS sections of the DAC7612 result in a very low power

device. Bipolar transistors are used where tight matching

and low noise are needed to achieve analog accuracy, and

CMOS transistors are used for logic, switching functions

and for other low power stages.

If power consumption is critical, it is important to keep the

logic levels on the digital inputs (SDI, CLK, CS,

LOADDACS) as close as possible to either VDD or ground.

This will keep the CMOS inputs (see “Supply Current vs

Logic Input Voltages” in the Typical Performance Curves)

from shunting current between VDD and ground.

The DAC7612 power supply should be bypassed as shown

in Figure 1. The bypass capacitors should be placed as close

to the device as possible, with the 0.1µF capacitor taking

priority in this regard. The “Power Supply Rejection vs

Frequency” graph in the Typical Performance Curves sec-

tion shows the PSRR performance of the DAC7612. This

should be taken into account when using switching power

supplies or DC/DC converters.

In addition to offering guaranteed performance with VDD in

the 4.75V to 5.25V range, the DAC7612 will operate with

reduced performance down to 4.5V. Operation between

4.5V and 4.75V will result in longer settling time, reduced

performance, and current sourcing capability. Consult the

“VDD vs Load Current” graph in the Typical Performance

Curves section for more information.

APPLICATIONS

POWER AND GROUNDING

The DAC7612 can be used in a wide variety of situations—

from low power, battery operated systems to large-scale

industrial process control systems. In addition, some appli-

cations require better performance than others, or are par-

ticularly sensitive to one or two specific parameters. This

diversity makes it difficult to define definite rules to follow

concerning the power supply, bypassing, and grounding.

The following discussion must be considered in relation to

the desired performance and needs of the particular system.

A precision analog component requires careful layout, ad-

equate bypassing, and a clean, well-regulated power supply.

As the DAC7612 is a single-supply, +5V component, it will

often be used in conjunction with digital logic,

microcontrollers, microprocessors, and digital signal proces-

sors. The more digital logic present in the design and the

higher the switching speed, the more difficult it will be to

achieve good performance.

Because the DAC7612 has a single ground pin, all return

currents, including digital and analog return currents, must

flow through this pin. The GND pin is also the ground

reference point for the internal bandgap reference. Ideally,

GND would be connected directly to an analog ground

plane. This plane would be separate from the ground con-

nection for the digital components until they are connected

at the power entry point of the system (see Figure 4).

The power applied to VDD should be well regulated and low-

noise. Switching power supplies and DC/DC converters will

often have high-frequency glitches or spikes riding on the

output voltage. In addition, digital components can create

similar high frequency spikes as their internal logic switches

states. This noise can easily couple into the DAC output

voltage through various paths between VDD and VOUT.

As with the GND connection, VDD should be connected to

a +5V power supply plane or trace that is separate from the

connection for digital logic until they are connected at the

power entry point. In addition, the 10µF and 0.1µF capaci-

tors shown in Figure 4 are strongly recommended and

should be installed as close to VDD and ground as possible.

In some situations, additional bypassing may be required

such as a 100µF electrolytic capacitor or even a “Pi” filter

made up of inductors and capacitors—all designed to essen-

tially lowpass filter the +5V supply, removing the high

frequency noise (see Figure 4).
