DS4432
Dual-Channel, I2C, 7-Bit Sink/Source
Current DAC
Detailed Description
The DS4432 contains two I2C adjustable current DACs
that are each capable of sinking and sourcing current.
Each output (OUT0 and OUT1) has 127 sink and 127
source settings that can be controlled by the I2C interface. The full-scale ranges and corresponding step
sizes of the outputs are determined by external resistors, connected to pins FS0 and FS1.
The formula to determine RFS (connected to the FSx
pins) to attain the desired full-scale current range is:
Memory Organization
To control the DS4432’s current sources, write to the
memory addresses listed in Table 1.
Table 1. Memory Addresses
MEMORY ADDRESS
(HEX)
CURRENT SOURCE
F8h
OUT0
F9h
OUT1
Equation 1:
RFS =
VRFS
× 127
16 × IFS
where IFS is the desired full-scale current value, VRFS is
the RFS voltage (see the DC Electrical Characteristics
table), and RFS is the external resistor value.
To calculate the output current value (IOUT) based on the
corresponding DAC value (see Table 1 for corresponding
memory addresses), use equation 2.
Equation 2:
IOUT =
DAC Value(dec)
× IFS
127
On power-up the DS4432 outputs zero current. This is
done to prevent the device from sinking or sourcing an
incorrect amount of current before the system host controller has had a chance to modify the DS4432’s setting.
As a source for biasing instrumentation or other circuits,
the DS4432 provides a simple and inexpensive current
DAC with an I2C interface for control. The adjustable
full-scale range allows the application to get the most
out of its 7-bit sink or source resolution.
When used in adjustable power-supply applications
(see the Typical Operating Circuit), the DS4432 does
not affect the initial power-up voltage of the supply
because it defaults to providing zero output current on
power-up. As the device sources or sinks current into
the feedback-voltage node, it changes the amount of
output voltage required by the regulator to reach its
steady-state operating point. Using the external resistor,
RFS, to set the output current range, the DS4432 provides some flexibility for adjusting the impedances of
the feedback network or the range over which the power
supply can be controlled or margined.

Example: RFS0 = 80kΩ and register 0xF8h is written to
a value of 0xAAh. Calculate the output current.
IFS = (0.997V/80kΩ) x (127/16) = 98.921µA
The MSB of the output register is 1, so the output is sourcing the value corresponding to position 2Ah (42 decimal).
The magnitude of the output current is equal to:
98.921µA x (42/127) = 32.714µA
I2C Serial Interface Description
I2C Slave Address
The DS4432’s slave address is 90h.
I2C Definitions
The following terminology is commonly used to describe
I2C data transfers:
Master Device: The master device controls the slave
devices on the bus. The master device generates
SCL clock pulses and START and STOP conditions.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Dual-Channel, I2C, 7-Bit Sink/Source
Current DAC
Bus Idle or Not Busy: Time between STOP and
START conditions when both SDA and SCL are inactive and in their logic-high states. When the bus is
idle it often initiates a low-power mode for slave
devices.
START Condition: A START condition is generated
by the master to initiate a new data transfer with a
slave. Transitioning SDA from high to low while SCL
remains high generates a START condition. See
Figure 1 for applicable timing.
STOP Condition: A STOP condition is generated by
the master to end a data transfer with a slave.
Transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL
remains high generates a STOP condition. See
Figure 1 for applicable timing.
Repeated START Condition: The master can use a
repeated START condition at the end of one data
transfer to indicate that it will immediately initiate a
new data transfer following the current one. Repeated
STARTs are commonly used during read operations
to identify a specific memory address to begin a data
transfer. A repeated START condition is issued identically to a normal START condition. See Figure 1 for
applicable timing.
Bit Write: Transitions of SDA must occur during the
low state of SCL. The data on SDA must remain valid
and unchanged during the entire high pulse of SCL,
plus the setup and hold time requirements (Figure 1).
Data is shifted into the device during the rising edge
of the SCL.
Bit Read: At the end of a write operation, the master
must release the SDA bus line for the proper amount
of setup time (Figure 1) before the next rising edge of
SCL during a bit read. The device shifts out each bit of
data on SDA at the falling edge of the previous SCL
pulse and the data bit is valid at the rising edge of the
current SCL pulse. Remember that the master generates all SCL clock pulses, including when it is reading
bits from the slave.
Acknowledgement (ACK and NACK): An
Acknowledgement (ACK) or Not Acknowledge
(NACK) is always the ninth bit transmitted during a
byte transfer. The device receiving data (the master
during a read or the slave during a write operation)
performs an ACK by transmitting a zero during the
ninth bit. A device performs a NACK by transmitting
a one during the ninth bit. Timing for the ACK and
NACK is identical to all other bit writes (Figure 2). An
ACK is the acknowledgement that the device is
properly receiving data. A NACK is used to terminate a read sequence or as an indication that the
device is not receiving data.
Byte Write: A byte write consists of 8 bits of information transferred from the master to the slave (most significant bit first) plus a 1-bit acknowledgement from
the slave to the master. The 8 bits transmitted by the
master are done according to the bit-write definition,
and the acknowledgement is read using the bit-read
definition.

Figure 2. I2C Communication Examples
Byte Read: A byte read is an 8-bit information transfer from the slave to the master plus a 1-bit ACK or
NACK from the master to the slave. The 8 bits of
information that are transferred (most significant bit
first) from the slave to the master are read by the
master using the bit-read definition, and the master
transmits an ACK using the bit-write definition to
receive additional data bytes. The master must
NACK the last byte read to terminate communication
so the slave returns control of SDA to the master.
Slave Address Byte: Each slave on the I2C bus
responds to a slave address byte sent immediately following a START condition. The slave address byte
contains the slave address in the most significant 7
bits, and the R/W bit in the least significant bit. The
DS4432’s slave address is 90h.
When the R/W bit is 0 (such as in 90h), the master is
indicating it will write data to the slave. If R/W = 1
(91h in this case), the master is indicating it wants to
read from the slave. If an incorrect slave address is
written, the DS4432 assumes the master is communicating with another I2C device and ignores the
communication until the next START condition is
sent.
Memory Address: During an I2C write operation,
the master must transmit a memory address to identify the memory location where the slave is to store
the data. The memory address is always the second
byte transmitted during a write operation following
the slave address byte.
8
I2C Communication
Writing to a Slave: The master must generate a START
condition, write the slave address byte (R/W = 0), write
the memory address, write the byte of data, and generate a STOP condition. Remember that the master must
read the slave’s acknowledgement during all byte-write
operations.
Reading from a Slave: To read from the slave, the
master generates a START condition, writes the slave
address byte with R/W = 1, reads the data byte with a
NACK to indicate the end of the transfer, and generates
a STOP condition.
Applications Information
Example Calculation
for an Adjustable Power Supply
In this example, the typical operating circuit is used to
create Figure 3, a 2.0V voltage supply with ±20% margin. The adjustable power supply has a DC-DC converter output voltage, VOUT, of 2.0V and a DC-DC converter
feedback voltage, VFB, of 0.8V. To determine the relationship of R0A and R0B, start with the equation:
VFB =
R 0B
× VOUT
R 0 A + R 0B
Substituting VFB = 0.8V and VOUT = 2.0V, the relationship between R0A and R0B is determined to be:
R0A = 1.5 x R0B

where

VCC Decoupling
To achieve the best results when using the DS4432,
decouple the power supply with a 0.01µF or 0.1µF
capacitor. Use a high-quality ceramic surface-mount
capacitor if possible. Surface-mount components minimize lead inductance, which improves performance,
and ceramic capacitors tend to have adequate highfrequency response for decoupling applications.
and
IR0 A =
To create a 20% margin in the supply voltage, the value
of VOUT is set to 2.4V. With these values in place, R0B
is calculated to be 2.67kΩ, and R0A is calculated to be
4kΩ. The current DAC in this configuration allows the
output voltage to be moved linearly from 1.6V to 2.4V
using 127 settings. This corresponds to a resolution of
6.3mV/step.
