Its on-board precision output amplifier allows it to achieve rail-to-rail analog output swing. 0.000V to 2.048V with Gain Setting = 1 0.000V to 4.096V with Gain Setting = 2 - Using External VREF (VDD): 0.000V to VDD • ±0.2 Least Significant Bit (LSB) Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) (typical) • Fast Settling Time: 6 µs (typical) • Normal or Power-Down Mode • Low Power Consumption • Single-Supply Operation: 2.7V to 5.5V • I2C Interface: - Address bits: User Programmable to EEPROM - Standard (100 kbps), Fast (400 kbps) and High Speed (HS) Mode (3.4 Mbps) • 10-Lead MSOP Package • Extended Temperature Range: -40°C to +125°C Applications • • • • • • • • • Set Point or Offset Adjustment Sensor Calibration Closed-Loop Servo Control Low Power Portable Instrumentation PC Peripherals Programmable Voltage and Current Source Industrial Process Control Instrumentation Bias Voltage Adjustment for Power Amplifiers © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. The DAC input codes, device configuration bits, and I2C address bits are programmable to the nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) by using I2C serial interface commands. The nonvolatile memory feature enables the DAC device to hold the DAC input codes during power-off time, allowing the DAC outputs to be available immediately after power-up with the saved settings. This feature is very useful when the DAC device is used as a supporting device for other devices in the application’s network. The MCP4728 device has a high precision internal voltage reference (VREF = 2.048V). The user can select the internal reference or external reference (VDD) for each channel individually. Each channel can be operated in Normal mode or Power-Down mode individually by setting the configuration register bits. In Power-Down mode, most of the internal circuits in the powered down channel are turned off for power savings, and the output amplifier can be configured to present a known low, medium, or high resistance output load. The MCP4728 device includes a Power-on Reset (POR) circuit to ensure reliable power-up and an on-board charge pump for the EEPROM programming voltage. The MCP4728 has a two-wire I2C compatible serial interface for standard (100 kHz), fast (400 kHz), or high speed (3.4 MHz) mode. The MCP4728 DAC is an ideal device for applications requiring design simplicity with high precision, and for applications requiring the DAC device settings to be saved during power-off time. The MCP4728 device is available in a 10-lead MSOP package and operates from a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply voltage.

Legend: P = Power, OI = Open-Drain Input, OO = Open-Drain Output, ST = Schmitt Trigger Input Buffer, AO = Analog Output Note 1: This pin needs an external pull-up resistor from VDD line. Leave this pin float if it is not used. 2: This pin can be driven by MCU. 3.1 Supply Voltage Pins (VDD, VSS) VDD is the power supply pin for the device. The voltage at the VDD pin is used as a power supply input as well as a DAC external reference. The power supply at the VDD pin should be as clean as possible for a good DAC performance. It is recommended to use an appropriate bypass capacitor of about 0.1 µF (ceramic) to ground. An additional 10 µF capacitor (tantalum) in parallel is also recommended to further attenuate high-frequency noise present in application boards. The supply voltage (VDD) must be maintained in the 2.7V to 5.5V range for specified operation. VSS is the ground pin and the current return path of the device. The user must connect the VSS pin to a ground plane through a low-impedance connection. If an analog ground path is available in the application printed circuit board (PCB), it is highly recommended that the VSS pin be tied to the analog ground path, or isolated within an analog ground plane of the circuit board. © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. 3.2 Serial Clock Pin (SCL) SCL is the serial clock pin of the I2C interface. The MCP4728 device acts only as a slave and the SCL pin accepts only external input serial clocks. The input data from the Master device is shifted into the SDA pin on the rising edges of the SCL clock, and output from the MCP4728 occurs at the falling edges of the SCL clock. The SCL pin is an open-drain N-channel driver. Therefore, it needs a pull-up resistor from the VDD line to the SCL pin. Refer to Section 5.0 “I2C Serial Interface Communications” for more details on I2C Serial Interface communication. Typical range of the pull-up resistor value for SCL and SDA is from 5 kΩ to 10 kΩ for Standard (100 kHz) and Fast (400 kHz) modes, and less than 1 kΩ for High Speed mode (3.4 MHz). DS22187E-page 21 MCP4728 3.3 Serial Data Pin (SDA) 3.5 SDA is the serial data pin of the I2C interface. The SDA pin is used to write or read the DAC register and EEPROM data. Except for Start and Stop conditions, the data on the SDA pin must be stable during the high duration of the clock pulse. The High or Low state of the SDA pin can only change when the clock signal on the SCL pin is Low. The SDA pin is an open-drain N-channel driver. Therefore, it needs a pull-up resistor from the VDD line to the SDA pin. Refer to Section 5.0 “I2C Serial Interface Communications” for more details on the I2C Serial Interface communication. 3.4 LDAC Pin This pin can be driven by an external control device such as an MCU I/O pin. This pin is used to: a) b) transfer the contents of the input registers to their corresponding DAC output registers and select a device of interest when reading or writing I2C address bits. 2C address For more details on reading and writing the I bits, see Section 5.4.4 “General Call Read Address Bits” and Section 5.6.8 “Write Command: Write I2C Address bits (C2=0, C1=1, C0=1)”. RDY/BSY Status Indicator Pin This pin is a status indicator of EEPROM programming activity. This pin is “High” when the EEPROM has no programming activity, and “Low” when the EEPROM is in programming mode. It goes “High” when the EEPROM program is completed. The RDY/BSY pin is an open-drain N-channel driver. Therefore, it needs a pull-up resistor (about 100 kΩ) from the VDD line to the RDY/BSY pin. Let this pin float if it is not used. 3.6 Analog Output Voltage Pins (VOUT A, VOUT B, VOUT C, VOUT D) The device has four analog voltage output (VOUT) pins. Each output is driven by its own output buffer with a gain of 1 or 2, depending on the gain and VREF selection bit settings. In Normal mode, the DC impedance of the output pin is about 1Ω. In Power-Down mode, the output pin is internally connected to 1 kΩ, 100 kΩ, or 500 kΩ, depending on the Power-Down selection bit settings. The VOUT pin can drive up to 1000 pF of capacitive load. It is recommended to use a load with RL greater than 5 kΩ. When the logic status of the LDAC pin changes from “High” to “Low”, the contents of all input registers (Channels A – D) are transferred to their corresponding output registers, and all analog voltage outputs are updated simultaneously. If this pin is permanently tied to “Low”, the content of the input register is transferred to its output register (VOUT) immediately at the last input data byte’s acknowledge pulse. The user can also use the UDAC bit instead. However, the UDAC bit updates a selected channel only. See Section 4.8 “Output Voltage Update” for more information on the LDAC pin and UDAC bit functions. DS22187E-page 22 © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP4728 4.0 THEORY OF DEVICE OPERATION 4.2 Reset Conditions The device can be reset by two independent events: The MCP4728 device is a 12-bit 4-channel buffered voltage output DAC with nonvolatile memory (EEPROM). The user can program the EEPROM with I2C address bits, configuration and DAC input data of each channel. The device has an internal charge pump circuit to provide the programming voltage of the EEPROM. a) b) When the device is first powered-up, it automatically loads the stored data in its EEPROM to the DAC input and output registers, and provides analog outputs with the saved settings immediately. This event does not require an LDAC or UDAC bit condition. After the device is powered-up, the user can update the input registers using I2C write commands. The analog outputs can be updated with new register values if the LDAC pin or UDAC bit is low. The DAC output of each channel is buffered with a low power and precision output amplifier. This amplifier provides a rail-to-rail output with low offset voltage and low noise. The factory default settings for the EEPROM prior to the device shipment are shown in Table 4-2. The device uses a resistor string architecture. The resistor ladder DAC can be driven from VDD or internal VREF, depending on the reference selection. The user can select internal (2.048V) or external reference (VDD) for each DAC channel individually by software control. The VDD is used as the external reference. Each channel is controlled and operated independently. The device has a Power-Down mode feature. Most of the circuit in each powered down channel are turned off. Therefore, operating power can be saved significantly by putting any unused channel to the Power-Down mode. 4.1 Power-on Reset (POR) The device contains an internal Power-on Reset (POR) circuit that monitors power supply voltage (VDD) during operation. This circuit ensures correct device start-up at system power-up and power-down events. by Power-on Reset by I2C General Call Reset Command Under the reset conditions, the device uploads the EEPROM data into both of the DAC input and output registers simultaneously. The analog output voltage of each channel is available immediately, regardless of the LDAC and UDAC bit conditions. 4.3 Output Amplifier The DAC output is buffered with a low power precision amplifier. This amplifier provides low offset voltage and low noise, as well as rail-to-rail output. The output amplifier can drive the resistive and high capacitive loads without oscillation. The amplifier can provide a maximum load current of 24 mA, which is enough for most of programmable voltage reference applications. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical Characteristics” for the specifications of the output amplifier. 4.3.1 PROGRAMMABLE GAIN BLOCK The rail-to-rail output amplifier of each channel has configurable gain option. When the internal voltage reference is selected, the output amplifier gain has two selection options: Gain of 1 or Gain of 2. When the external reference is selected (VREF = VDD), the Gain of 2 option is disabled, and only the Gain of 1 is used by default. 4.3.1.1 Resistive and Capacitive Loads The analog output (VOUT) pin is capable of driving capacitive loads up to 1000 pF in parallel with 5 kΩ load resistance. Figure 2-43 shows the VOUT vs. Resistive Load. If the power supply voltage is less than the POR threshold (VPOR = 2V, typical), all circuits are disabled and there will be no analog output. When the VDD increases above the VPOR, the device takes a reset state. During the reset period, each channel uploads all configuration and DAC input codes from EEPROM, and analog output (VOUT) will be available accordingly. This enables the device to return to the same state that it was at the last write to the EEPROM, before it was powered off. The POR status is monitored by the POR status bit by using the I2C read command. See Figure 5-15 for the details of the POR status bit. © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.

However, it stays turned on if any one of the channels selects the internal reference. 4.6 TABLE 4-4: VREF Internal VREF (2.048V) VDD Note 1: The gain selection bit is not applicable for VREF = VDD.

When VREF = VDD, the device uses GX = 1 by default. GX = 2 option is ignored. DAC Output Voltage The VDD needs to be as clean as possible for accurate DAC performance. When the VDD is selected as the voltage reference, any variation or noises on the VDD line can directly affect on the DAC output. The analog output of each channel has a programmable gain block. The rail-to-rail output amplifier has a configurable gain of 1 or 2. But the gain of 2 is not applicable if VDD is selected for the voltage reference. The formula for the analog output voltage is given in Equation 4-1 and Equation 4-2.

When the internal voltage reference is selected (VREF = internal), it supplies the internal VREF voltage to the resistor string DAC of the channel. When the external reference (VREF=VDD) is selected, VDD is used for the channel’s resistor string DAC. 4.7.1 Note: LSB Size The LSB is defined as the ideal voltage difference between two successive codes.

However, the UDAC affects only the selected channel while the LDAC affects all channels. The UDAC bit is not used in the Fast Mode Writing. Table 4-5 shows the output update vs. LDAC pin and UDAC bit conditions.

DS22187E-page 27 MCP4728 4.10 Normal and Power-Down Modes Each channel has two modes of operation: (a) Normal mode where analog voltage is available and (b) Power-Down mode which turns off most of the internal circuits for power savings. The user can select the operating mode of each channel individually by setting the Power-Down selection bits (PD1 and PD0). For example, the user can select Normal mode for channel A while selecting Power-Down mode for all other channels. See Section 5.6 “Write Commands for DAC Registers and EEPROM” for more details on the writing the power-down bits. Most of the internal circuit in the powered down channel are turned off. However, the internal voltage reference circuit is not affected by the Power-Down mode. The internal voltage reference circuit is turned off only if all channels select external reference (VREF = VDD). Device actions during Power-Down mode: • The powered down channel stays in a power-saving condition by turning off most of its circuits • No analog voltage output at the powered down channel • The output (VOUT) pin of the powered down channel is switched to a known resistive load. The value of the resistive load is determined by the state of the Power-Down bits (PD1 and PD0). Table 4-7 shows the outcome of the Power-Down bit settings • The contents of both the DAC registers and EEPROM are not changed • Draws less than 40 nA (typical) when all four channels are powered down and VDD is selected as the voltage reference Circuits that are not affected during Power-Down mode: • The I2C serial interface circuits remain active in order to receive any command from the Master • The internal voltage reference circuit stays turned-on if it is selected as reference by at least one channel Exiting Power-Down Mode: The device exits Power-Down mode immediately by the following commands: • Any write command for normal mode. Only selected channel is affected • I2C General Call Wake-Up Command. All channels are affected • I2C General Call Reset Command. This is a conditional case. The device exits Power-Down mode, depending on the Power-Down bit settings in EEPROM as the configuration bits and DAC input codes are uploaded from EEPROM. All channels are affected When the DAC operation mode is changed from the Power-Down to Normal mode, there will be a time delay until the analog output is available. Typical time delay for the output voltage is approximately 4.5 µs. This time delay is measured from the acknowledge pulse of the I2C serial communication command to the beginning of the analog output (VOUT). This time delay is not included in the output settling time specification. See Section 2.0 “Typical Performance Curves” for more details.

When the device is connected to the I2C bus line, the device works as a slave device. The device supports standard, fast and high speed modes. The following sections describe how to communicate with the MCP4728 device using the I2C serial interface commands. 5.1 Overview of I2C Serial Interface Communications An example of the hardware connection diagram is shown in Figure 7-1. A device that sends data onto the bus is defined as the transmitter, and a device receiving data, as the receiver. The bus has to be controlled by a master (MCU) device which generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access and generates the START and STOP conditions. Both master (MCU) and slave (MCP4728) can operate as transmitter or receiver, but the master device determines which mode is activated. Communication is initiated by the master (MCU) which sends the START bit, followed by the slave (MCP4728) address byte. The first byte transmitted is always the slave (MCP4728) address byte, which contains the device code (1100), the address bits (A2, A1, A0), and the R/W bit. The device code for the MCP4728 device is 1100, and the address bits are user-writable. When the MCP4728 device receives a Read command (R/W = 1), it transmits the contents of the DAC input registers and EEPROM sequentially. When writing to the device (R/W = 0), the device will expect Write command type bits in the following byte. The reading and various writing commands are explained in the following sections. The MCP4728 device supports all three I2C serial communication operating modes: • Standard Mode: bit rates up to 100 kbit/s • Fast Mode: bit rates up to 400 kbit/s • High Speed Mode (HS mode): bit rates up to 3.4 Mbit/s Refer to the Philips I2C document for more details of the I2C specifications. 5.1.1 HIGH-SPEED (HS) MODE 2 The I C specification requires that a high-speed mode device must be ‘activated’ to operate in High-Speed (3.4 Mbit/s) mode. This is done by sending a special address byte of 00001XXX following the START bit. The XXX bits are unique to the high-speed mode Master. This byte is referred to as the high-speed Master Mode Code (HSMMC). The MCP4728 device does not acknowledge this byte. However, upon receiving this command, the device switches to HS mode and can communicate at up to 3.4 Mbit/s on SDA and SCL lines. The device will switch out of the HS mode on the next STOP condition. For more information on the HS mode, or other I2C modes, please refer to the Philips I2C specification. 5.2 I2C BUS CHARACTERISTICS The specification of the I2C serial communication defines the following bus protocol: • Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy • During data transfer, the data line must remain stable whenever the clock line is HIGH. Changes in the data line while the clock line is HIGH will be interpreted as a START or STOP condition Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been defined using Figure 5-1. 5.2.1 BUS NOT BUSY (A) Both data and clock lines remain HIGH. 5.2.2 START DATA TRANSFER (B) A HIGH to LOW transition of the SDA line, while the clock (SCL) is HIGH, determines a START condition. All commands must be preceded by a START condition. 5.2.3 STOP DATA TRANSFER (C) A LOW to HIGH transition of the SDA line, while the clock (SCL) is HIGH, determines a STOP condition. All operations must be ended with a STOP condition. 5.2.4 DATA VALID (D) The state of the data line represents valid data when, after a START condition, the data line is stable for the duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal. The data on the line must be changed during the LOW period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per bit of data. Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition and terminated with a STOP condition. © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. DS22187E-page 29 MCP4728 5.2.5 ACKNOWLEDGE Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. The master device must generate an extra clock pulse, which is associated with this acknowledge bit. The device that acknowledges has to pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a way that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH (A) (B) period of the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold times must be taken into account. During reads, a master must send an end of data to the slave by not generating an acknowledge bit on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case, the slave (MCP4728) will leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate the STOP condition. (D) (D) (C) (A) SCL SDA START CONDITION FIGURE 5-1: 5.3 ADDRESS OR DATA ACKNOWLEDGE ALLOWED VALID TO CHANGE Data Transfer Sequence On The Serial Bus. MCP4728 Device Addressing The address byte is the first byte received following the START condition from the master device. The first part of the address byte consists of a 4-bit device code, which is set to 1100 for the MCP4728 device. The device code is followed by three I2C address bits (A2, A1, A0) which are programmable by the users. Although the three address bits are programmable at the user’s application PCB, the user can also specify the address bits during the product ordering process. If there is no user’s request, the factory default setting of the three address bits is “000”, programmed into the EEPROM. The three address bits allow eight unique addresses. Acknowledge bit Start bit Read/Write bit Slave Address R/W ACK Address Byte Slave Address for MCP4728 Device Code Address Bits 1 STOP CONDITION 1 0 0 A2 A1 A0 5.3.1 PROGRAMMING OF I2C ADDRESS BITS When the customer first receives any new MCP4728 device, its default address bit setting is “000” if the address bit programming was not requested. The customer can reprogram the I2C address bits into the EEPROM by using “Write Address Bit” command. This write command needs current address bits. If the address bits are unknown, the user can find them by sending “General Call Read Address” Command. The LDAC pin is also used to select the device of interest to be programmed or to read the current address. The following steps are needed for the I2C address programming. (a) Read the address bits using “General Call Read Address” Command. (This is the case when the address is unknown.) (b) Write I2C address bits using “Write I2C Address Bits” Command. The Write Address command will replace the current address with a new address in both input registers and EEPROM. See Section 5.4.4 “General Call Read Address Bits” for the details of reading the address bits, and Section 5.6.8 “Write Command: Write I2C Address bits (C2=0, C1=1, C0=1)” for writing the address bits. Device Code: Programmed (hard-wired) at the factory. Address Bits: Reprogrammable into EEPROM by the user. FIGURE 5-2: DS22187E-page 30 Device Addressing. © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP4728 I2C General Call Commands 5.4 5.4.1 The General Call Reset occurs if the second byte is “00000110” (06h). At the acknowledgement of this byte, the device will abort the current conversion and perform the following tasks: The device acknowledges the general call address command (0x00 in the first byte). The meaning of the general call address is always specified in the second byte. The I2C specification does not allow the use of “00000000” (00h) in the second byte. Refer to the Philips I2C document for more details of the General Call specifications. • Internal Reset similar to a Power-on Reset (POR). The contents of the EEPROM are loaded into each DAC input and output registers immediately • VOUT will be available immediately regardless of the LDAC pin condition The MCP4728 device supports the following I2C General Calls: • • • • GENERAL CALL RESET General Call Reset General Call Wake-Up General Call Software Update General Call Read Address Bits ACK (MCP4728) Clock Pulse (CLK Line) Stop Start 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 2nd Byte (Command Type = General Call Reset) 1st Byte (General Call Command) 9 Note 1 Data (SDA Line) Note 1: At this falling edge of the last ACK clock bit: a.

The following sections describe the communication examples to write and read the DAC registers and EEPROM using the I2C interface. TABLE 5-1: Table 5-1 summarizes the write command types and their functions.The write command is defined by using three write command type bits (C2, C1, C0) and two write function bits (W1, W0). The register selection bits (DAC1, DAC0) are used to select the DAC channel. WRITE COMMAND TYPES Command Field Write Function C2 W1 C1 Write Commands for DAC Registers and EEPROM C0 Command Name Function Fast Write for DAC Input Registers This command writes to the DAC input registers sequentially with limited configuration bits. The data is sent sequentially from channels A to D. The input register is written at the acknowledge clock pulse of the channel’s last input data byte. EEPROM is not affected.

The writing channel register is defined by the DAC selection bits (DAC1, DAC0). EEPROM is not affected. (Note 2) This command writes to both the DAC input registers and EEPROM sequentially. The sequential writing is carried out from a starting channel to channel D. The starting channel is defined by the DAC selection bits (DAC1 and DAC0). The input register is written at the acknowledge clock pulse of the last input data byte of each register. However, the EEPROM data is written altogether at the same time sequentially at the end of the last byte. (Note 2),(Note 3) This command writes to a single selected DAC input register and its EEPROM. Both the input register and EEPROM are written at the acknowledge clock pulse of the last input data byte. The writing channel is defined by the DAC selection bits (DAC1 and DAC0). (Note 2),(Note 3) Write I2C Address Bits (A2, A1, A0) 0 1 1 Not Used Write I2C Address Bits This command writes new I2C address bits (A2, A1, A0) to the DAC input register and EEPROM.

UDAC bit is not used for this command. The DAC output is updated when LDAC pin or UDAC bit is “Low”. The device starts writing to the EEPROM on the acknowledge clock pulse of the last channel. The device does not execute any command until RDY/BSY bit comes back to “High”. The input and output registers are updated at the acknowledge clock pulse of the last byte. The update does not require LDAC pin or UDAC bit conditions. EEPROM is not affected. DS22187E-page 34 © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc.

The EEPROM data is not affected by this command. This command is called “Fast Write” because it updates the input registers with only limited data bits. Only the Power-Down mode selection bits (PD1 and PD0) and 12 bits of DAC input data are writable. This command is used to write DAC input register, one at a time. The EEPROM data is not affected by this command. The input register is updated at the acknowledge pulse of each channel’s last data byte. Figure 5-7 shows an example of the Fast Write command. The D11 - D0 bits in the third and fourth bytes are the DAC input data of the selected DAC channel. Bytes 2 - 4 can be repeated for the other channels. Figure 5-8 shows an example of the Multi-Write command. Updating Analog Outputs: a. b. c. When the LDAC pin is “High” before the last byte of the channel D, all analog outputs are updated simultaneously by bringing down the LDAC pin to “Low” any time. If the command starts with the LDAC pin “Low”, the channel’s analog output is updated at the falling edge of the acknowledge clock pulse of the channel’s last byte. Send the General Call Software Update command: This command updates all channels simultaneously. Note: The UDAC bit is not used in this command. © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. The DAC selection bits (DAC1, DAC0) select the DAC channel to write. Only a selected channel is affected. Repeated bytes are used to write more multiple DAC registers.

When the LDAC pin or UDAC bit is “Low”. If UDAC bit is “High”, bringing down the LDAC pin to “Low” any time. By sending the General Call Software Update command. Note: The UDAC bit can be used effectively to upload the input register to the output register, but it affects only a selected channel only, while the LDAC pin and General Call Software Update command affect all channels. DS22187E-page 35 MCP4728 5.6.3 SEQUENTIAL WRITE COMMAND: WRITE DAC INPUT REGISTERS AND EEPROM SEQUENTIALLY FROM STARTING CHANNEL TO CHANNEL D (C2=0, C1=1, C0=0; W1=1, W0=0) When the device receives this command, it writes the input data to the DAC input registers sequentially from the starting channel to channel D, and also writes to EEPROM sequentially. The starting channel is determined by the DAC1 and DAC0 bits. Table 5-2 shows the functions of the channel selection bits for the sequential write command. When the device is writing EEPROM, the RDY/BSY bit stays “Low” until the EEPROM write operation is completed. The state of the RDY/BSY bit flag can be monitored by a read command or at the RDY/BSY pin. Any new command received during the EEPROM write operation (RDY/BSY bit is “Low”) is ignored. Figure 5-9 shows an example of the sequential write command. 5.6.4 When the device receives this command, it writes the input data to a selected single DAC input register and also to its EEPROM. The channel is selected by the channel selection bits (DAC1 and DAC0). See Table 5-2 for the channel selection bit function. Figure 5-10 shows an example of the single write command.

MCP4728 5.6.5 WRITE COMMAND: SELECT VREF BIT (C2=1, C1=0, C0=0) When the device receives this command, it updates the DAC voltage reference selection bit (VREF) of each channel. The EEPROM data is not affected by this command. The affected channel’s analog output is updated after the acknowledge pulse of the last byte. Figure 5-12 shows an example of the write command for Select VREF bits. 5.6.6 WRITE COMMAND: SELECT POWER-DOWN BITS (C2=1, C1=0, C0=1) When the device receives this command, it updates the Power-Down selection bits (PD1, PD0) of each channel. The EEPROM data is not affected by this command. The affected channel is updated after the acknowledge pulse of the last byte. Figure 5-13 shows an example of the write command for the Select Power-Down bits. 5.6.7 5.6.8 This command writes new I2C address bits (A2, A1, A0) to the DAC input registers and EEPROM. When the device receives this command, it overwrites the current address bits with the new address bits. This command is valid only when the LDAC pin makes a transition from “High” to “Low” at the low time of the last bit (8th clock) of the second byte, and stays “Low” until the end of the third byte. The update occurs after “Stop” bit, if the conditions are met. The LDAC pin is used to select a device of interest to write. The highest clock rate of this command is 400 kHz. Figure 5-11 shows the details of the address write command. Note: WRITE COMMAND: SELECT GAIN BIT (C2=1, C1=1, C0=0) When the device receives this command, it updates the gain selection bits (GX) of each channel. The EEPROM data is not affected by this command. The analog output is updated after the acknowledge pulse of the last byte. Figure 5-14 shows an example of the write command for select gain bits. 5.6.9 To write a new device address, the current address of the device is also required. If the current address is not known, it can be read out by sending General Call Read Address Bits command. See 5.4.4 “General Call Read Address Bits” for more details of reading the I2C address bits. READ COMMAND If the R/W bit is set to a logic “High” in the I2C serial communications command, the device enters a reading mode and reads out the input registers and EEPROM.

MCP4728 6.0 TERMINOLOGY 6.1 Resolution The resolution is the number of DAC output states that divide the full scale range. For the 12-bit DAC, the resolution is 212, meaning the DAC code ranges from 0 to 4095. 6.2 Least Significant Bit (LSB) 7 INL = < -1 LSB 6 INL = - 1 LSB 5 Analog 4 Output (LSB) 3 INL = 0.5 LSB 2 The least significant bit is the ideal voltage difference between two successive codes. 1 EQUATION 6-1: 0 000 001 010 V REF LSB = -----------n 2 Ideal Transfer Function ( V Full Scale – V Zero Scale ) = --------------------------------------------------------12 2 –1 ( V Full Scale – V Zero Scale ) = --------------------------------------------------------4095 Where: VREF = = n 6.3 = VDD If external reference is selected 2.048V If internal reference is selected The number of digital input bits, n = 12 for MCP4728 Integral Nonlinearity (INL) Integral nonlinearity (INL) error is the maximum deviation of an actual transfer function from an ideal transfer function (straight line). In the MCP4728, INL is calculated using two end-points (zero and full scale). INL can be expressed as a percentage of full scale range (FSR) or in fractions of an LSB. INL is also called relative accuracy. Equation 6-2 shows how to calculate the INL error in LSB and Figure 6-1 shows an example of INL accuracy. EQUATION 6-2: 011 100 101 110 111 DAC Input Code Actual Transfer Function FIGURE 6-1: 6.4 INL Accuracy. Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) Differential nonlinearity (DNL) error (see Figure 6-2) is the measure of step size between codes in actual transfer function. The ideal step size between codes is 1 LSB. A DNL error of zero would imply that every code is exactly 1 LSB wide. If the DNL error is less than 1 LSB, the DAC guarantees monotonic output and no missing codes. The DNL error between any two adjacent codes is calculated as follows: EQUATION 6-3: DNL ERROR ΔV OUT – LSB DNL = ---------------------------------LSB Where: DNL is expressed in LSB. ΔVOUT = The measured DAC output voltage difference between two adjacent input codes INL ERROR ( V OUT – V Ideal ) INL = --------------------------------------LSB Where: INL is expressed in LSB = Code*LSB VIdeal VOUT = The output voltage measured at the given input code © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. DS22187E-page 47 MCP4728 7 DNL = 0.5 LSB 6 5 DNL = 2 LSB Analog 4 Output (LSB) 3 For the MCP4728 device, the gain error is not calibrated at the factory and most of the gain error is contributed by the output buffer (op amp) saturation near the code range beyond 4000. For applications that need the gain error specification less than 1% maximum, a user may consider using the DAC code range between 100 and 4000 instead of using full code range (code 0 to 4095). The DAC output of the code range between 100 and 4000 is much more linear than full scale range (0 to 4095). The gain error can be calibrated out by using applications’ software. 2 6.7 1 0 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111 DAC Input Code Full Scale Error (FSE) Full scale error (see Figure 6-4) is the sum of offset error plus gain error. It is the difference between the ideal and measured DAC output voltage with all bits set to one (DAC input code = FFFh). Ideal Transfer Function Actual Transfer Function FIGURE 6-2: 6.5 EQUATION 6-4: ( V OUT – V Ideal ) FSE = --------------------------------------LSB DNL Accuracy. Where: Offset Error Offset error (see Figure 6-3) is the deviation from zero voltage output when the digital input code is zero (zero scale voltage). This error affects all codes by the same amount. For the MCP4728 device, the offset error is not trimmed at the factory. However, it can be calibrated by software in application circuits. FSE is expressed in LSB.

The gain error is calculated after nullifying the offset error, or full scale error minus the offset error. The gain error indicates how well the slope of the actual transfer function matches the slope of the ideal transfer function. The gain error is usually expressed as percent of full scale range (% of FSR) or in LSB. DS22187E-page 48 0 Offset Error. DAC Input Code FIGURE 6-4: Error. 6.8 Gain Error and Full Scale Gain Error Drift Gain error drift is the variation in gain error due to a change in ambient temperature. The gain error drift is typically expressed in ppm/°C. © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP4728 6.9 Offset Error Drift Offset error drift is the variation in offset error due to a change in ambient temperature. The offset error drift is typically expressed in ppm/oC. 6.10 Settling Time The Settling time is the time delay required for the DAC output to settle to its new output value from the start of code transition, within specified accuracy. In the MCP4728 device, the settling time is a measure of the time delay until the DAC output reaches its final value within 0.5 LSB when the DAC code changes from 400h to C00h. 6.11 Major-Code Transition Glitch Major-code transition glitch is the impulse energy injected into the DAC analog output when the code in the DAC register changes state. It is normally specified as the area of the glitch in nV-Sec. and is measured when the digital code is changed by 1 LSB at the major carry transition (Example: 011...111 to 100... 000, or 100... 000 to 011... 111). 6.12 Digital Feedthrough Digital feedthrough is a glitch that appears at the analog output caused by coupling from the digital input pins of the device. The area of the glitch is expressed in nV-Sec, and is measured with a full scale change (Example: all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) on the digital input pins. The digital feedthrough is measured when the DAC is not being written to the output register. This condition can be created by writing the input register with both the UDAC bit and the LDAC pin high. © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. 6.13 Analog Crosstalk Analog crosstalk is a glitch that appears at the output of one DAC due to a change in the output of the other DAC. The area of the glitch is expressed in nV-Sec, and measured by loading one of the input registers with a full scale code change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) while keeping both the UDAC bit and the LDAC pin high. Then bring down the LDAC pin to low and measure the output of the DAC whose digital code was not changed. 6.14 DAC-to-DAC Crosstalk DAC-to-DAC crosstalk is the glitch that appears at the output of one DAC due to an input code change and subsequent output change of the other DAC. This includes both digital and analog crosstalks. The area of the glitch is expressed in nV-Sec, and measured by loading one of the input registers with a full scale code change (all 0s to all 1s and vice versa) while keeping UDAC bit or LDAC pin low. 6.15 Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) PSRR indicates how the output of the DAC is affected by changes in the supply voltage. PSRR is the ratio of the change in VOUT to a change in VDD for full scale output of the DAC. It is measured on one DAC that is using an internal VREF while the VDD is varied ±10%, and expressed in dB or µV/V. DS22187E-page 49 MCP4728 NOTES: DS22187E-page 50 © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP4728 7.0 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS 7.1 The MCP4728 device is a part of Microchip’s latest DAC family with nonvolatile EEPROM memory. The device is a general purpose resistor string DAC intended to be used in applications where a precise and low power DAC, with moderate bandwidth, is required. The SCL, SDA, and RDY/BSY pins of the MCP4728 device are open-drain configurations. These pins require a pull-up resistor, as shown in Figure 7-1. The LDAC pin has a Schmitt trigger input configuration and it can be driven by an external MCU I/O pin. Since the device includes nonvolatile EEPROM memory, the user can use this device for applications that require the output to return to the previous set-up value on subsequent power-ups. The pull-up resistor values (R1 and R2) for SCL and SDA pins depend on the operating speed (standard, fast, and high speed) and loading capacitance of the I2C bus line. Higher value of pull-up resistor consumes less power, but increases the signal transition time (higher RC time constant) on the bus line. Therefore, it can limit the bus operating speed. A lower resistor value, on the other hand, consumes higher power, but allows for higher operating speed. If the bus line has higher capacitance due to long metal traces or multiple device connections to the bus line, a smaller pull-up resistor is needed to compensate for the long RC time constant. The pull-up resistor is typically chosen between 1 kΩ and 10 kΩ range for standard and fast modes, and less than 1 kΩ for high speed mode. Applications generally suited for the MCP4728 device family include: • • • • Connecting to I2C BUS Using Pull-Up Resistors Set Point or Offset Trimming Sensor Calibration Portable Instrumentation (Battery Powered) Motor Speed Control VDD C1 C2 R1 R2 R3 VSS VDD 1 10 SCL 2 9 VOUT D SDA 3 MCP4728 8 VOUT C LDAC 4 7 VOUT B RDY/BSY 5 6 VOUT A Analog Outputs To MCU R1 and R2 = Pull-up resistors for I2C Serial Communications R3 = 5 kΩ - 10 kΩ for fSCL = 100 kHz to 400 kHz = ~700Ω for fSCL = 3.4 MHz = (a) Pull-up resistor to monitor RDY/BSY bit = ~ 100 kΩ (b) Let this pin float when not used C1 = 0.1 µF, Ceramic capacitor C2 = 10 µF, Tantalum capacitor FIGURE 7-1: Example of the MCP4728 Device Connection. © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. DS22187E-page 51 MCP4728 7.1.1 7.3 DEVICE CONNECTION TEST The user can test the presence of the MCP4728 device on the I2C bus line without performing a data conversion. This test can be achieved by checking an acknowledge response from the MCP4728 device after sending a read or write command. Figure 7-2 shows an example with a read command: Set the R/W bit “High” or “Low” in the address byte. Check the ACK pulse after sending the address byte. If the device acknowledges (ACK = 0) the command, then the device is connected, otherwise it is not connected. Send Stop Bit. a. b. c.

Layout Considerations Inductively-coupled AC transients and digital switching noise from other devices can affect DAC performance and DAC output signal integrity. Careful board layout will minimize these effects. Bench testing has shown that a multi-layer board utilizing a low-inductance ground plane, isolated inputs, isolated outputs and proper decoupling are critical to achieving good DAC performance. Separate digital and analog ground planes are recommended. In this case, the VSS pin and the ground pins of the VDD capacitors of the MCP4728 should be terminated to the analog ground plane. DS22187E-page 52 The power source should be as clean as possible. The power supply to the device is used for both VDD and DAC voltage reference by selecting VREF = VDD. Any noise induced on the VDD line can affect DAC performance. A typical application will require a bypass capacitor in order to filter out high-frequency noise on the VDD line. The noise can be induced onto the power supply’s traces or as a result of changes on the DAC output. The bypass capacitor helps to minimize the effect of these noise sources on signal integrity. Figure 7-1 shows an example of using two bypass capacitors (a 10 µF tantalum capacitor and a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor) in parallel on the VDD line. These capacitors should be placed as close to the VDD pin as possible (within 4 mm). If the application circuit has separate digital and analog power supplies, the VDD and VSS pins of the MCP4728 device should reside on the analog plane. 7.4 ACK SCL Power Supply Considerations Using Power Saving Feature The device consumes very little power when it is in Power-Down (shut-down) mode. During the Power-Down mode, most circuits in the selected channel are turned off. It is recommended to power down any unused channel. The device consumes the least amount of power if it enters the Power-Down mode after the internal voltage reference is disabled. This can be achieved by selecting VDD as the voltage reference for all 4 channels, and then issuing the Power-Down mode for all channels. 7.5 Using Nonvolatile EEPROM Memory The user can store the I2C device address bits, configuration bits and DAC input code of each channel in the on-board nonvolatile EEPROM memory using the I2C write command. The contents of EEPROM are readable and writable using the I2C command. When the MCP4728 device is first powered-up or receives General Call Reset Command, it uploads the EEPROM contents to the DAC output registers automatically and provides analog outputs immediately with the saved settings in EEPROM. This feature is very useful in applications where the MCP4728 device is used to provide set points or calibration data for other devices in the application systems. The MCP4728 device can save important system parameters when the application system experiences power failure. See Section 5.5 “Writing and Reading Registers and EEPROM” for more details on using the nonvolatile EEPROM memory. © 2010 Microchip Technology Inc. MCP4728 7.6 Application Examples The MCP4728 device is a rail-to-rail output DAC designed to operate with a VDD range of 2.7V to 5.5V. Its output amplifier of each channel is robust enough to drive common, small-signal loads directly, thus eliminating the cost and size of external buffers for most applications. Since each channel has its own configuration bits for selecting the voltage reference, gain, power-down, etc., the MCP4728 device offers great simplicity and flexibility to use for various DAC applications. 7.6.1 DC SET POINT OR CALIBRATION VOLTAGE SETTINGS A common application for the MCP4728 device is a digitally-controlled set point or a calibration of variable parameters such as sensor offset or bias point. Figure 7-3 shows an example of the set point settings. Let us consider that the application requires different trip voltages (Trip 1 - Trip 4). Assuming the DAC output voltage requirements are given as shown in Table 7-1, examples of sending the Sequential Write and Fast Write commands are shown in Figure 7-4 and Figure 7-5.
