The DAC8531 is a low-power, single, 16-bit buffered voltage
output Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Its on-chip precision output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be
achieved. The DAC8531 uses a versatile three-wire serial
interface that operates at clock rates up to 30MHz and is
compatible with standard SPI™, QSPI™, Microwire™, and
Digital Signal Processor (DSP) interfaces.
The DAC8531 requires an external reference voltage to set
the output range of the DAC. The DAC8531 incorporates a
power-on reset circuit that ensures that the DAC output
powers up at 0V and remains there until a valid write takes
place to the device. The DAC8531 contains a power-down
feature, accessed over the serial interface, that reduces the
current consumption of the device to 200nA at 5V.
The low power consumption of this part in normal operation
makes it ideally suited to portable battery-operated equipment. The power consumption is 2mW at 5V reducing to 1µW
in power-down mode.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments 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 degradation
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.
NOTE: (1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings”
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to absolute maximum
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

SYNC
Level-triggered control input (active LOW). This is
the frame sychronization signal for the input data.
When SYNC goes LOW, it enables the input shift
register and data is transferred in on the falling
edges of the following clocks. The DAC is updated
following the 24th clock cycle unless SYNC is taken
HIGH before this edge, in which case the rising
edge of SYNC acts as an interrupt and the write
sequence is ignored by the DAC8531.
6
SCLK
Serial Clock Input. Data can be transferred at rates
up to 30MHz.
7
DIN
Serial Data Input. Data is clocked into the 24-bit
input shift register on the falling edge of the serial
clock input.

THEORY OF OPERATION
DAC SECTION
The architecture consists of a string DAC followed by an
output buffer amplifier. Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the
DAC architecture.
Figure 2 shows the resistor string section. It is simply a string
of resistors, each of value R. The code loaded into the DAC
register determines at which node on the string the voltage
is tapped off to be fed into the output amplifier by closing one
of the switches connecting the string to the amplifier. It is
ensured monotonic because it is a string of resistors.

OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
The output buffer amplifier is capable of generating rail-to-rail
voltages on its output which gives an output range of
0V to VDD. It is capable of driving a load of 2kΩ in parallel with
1000pF to GND. The source and sink capabilities of the
output amplifier can be seen in the typical curves. The slew
rate is 1V/µs with a full-scale settling time of 8µs with the
output unloaded.
The inverting input of the output amplifier is brought out to the
VFB pin. This allows for better accuracy in critical applications
by tying the VFB point and the amplifier output together
directly at the load. Other signal conditioning circuitry
may also be connected between these points for specific
applications.
SERIAL INTERFACE
SYNC buffer draws more current when the SYNC signal is
HIGH than it does when it is LOW, SYNC should be idled
LOW between write sequences for lowest power operation of
the part. As mentioned above, it must be brought HIGH again
just before the next write sequence.
INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The input shift register is 24 bits wide, as shown in Figure 3.
The first six bits are “don’t cares”. The next two bits (PD1 and
PD0) are control bits that control which mode of operation the
part is in (normal mode or any one of three power-down
modes). There is a more complete description of the various
modes in the Power-Down Modes section. The next 16 bits
are the data bits. These are transferred to the DAC register
on the 24th falling edge of SCLK.
SYNC INTERRUPT
The DAC8531 has a three-wire serial interface (SYNC,
SCLK, and DIN), which is compatible with SPI, QSPI, and
Microwire interface standards as well as most DSPs. See the
Serial Write Operation timing diagram for an example of a
typical write sequence.
The write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC line LOW.
Data from the DIN line is clocked into the 24-bit shift register
on the falling edge of SCLK. The serial clock frequency can
be as high as 30MHz, making the DAC8531 compatible with
high-speed (DSPs). On the 24th falling edge of the serial
clock, the last data bit is clocked in and the programmed
function is executed (i.e., a change in DAC register contents
and/or a change in the mode of operation).
At this point, the SYNC line may be kept LOW or brought
HIGH. In either case, it must be brought HIGH for a minimum
of 33ns before the next write sequence so that a falling edge
of SYNC can initiate the next write sequence. Since the
In a normal write sequence, the SYNC line is kept LOW for
at least 24 falling edges of SCLK and the DAC is updated on
the 24th falling edge. However, if SYNC is brought HIGH
before the 24th falling edge, this acts as an interrupt to the
write sequence. The shift register is reset and the write
sequence is seen as invalid. Neither an update of the DAC
register contents or a change in the operating mode occurs,
as shown in Figure 4.
POWER-ON RESET
The DAC8531 contains a power-on reset circuit that controls
the output voltage during power-up. On power-up, the DAC
register is filled with zeros and the output voltage is 0V; it
remains there until a valid write sequence is made to the
DAC. This is useful in applications where it is important to
know the state of the output of the DAC while it is in the
process of powering up.

POWER-DOWN MODES
The DAC8531 supports four separate modes of operation.
These modes are programmable by setting two bits (PD1
and PD0) in the control register. Table I shows how the state
of the bits corresponds to the mode of operation of the
device.

TABLE I. Modes of Operation for the DAC8531.
When both bits are set to 0, the part works normally with its
typical current consumption of 250µA at 5V. However, for the
three power-down modes, the supply current falls to 200nA
at 5V (50nA at 3V). Not only does the supply current fall, but
the output stage is also internally switched from the output of
the amplifier to a resistor network of known values. This has
the advantage that the output impedance of the part is known
while the part is in power-down mode. There are three
different options. The output is connected internally to GND
through a 1kΩ resistor, a 100kΩ resistor, or it is left opencircuited (High-Z). The output stage is illustrated in Figure 5.
MICROPROCESSOR
INTERFACING
DAC8531 TO 8051 INTERFACE
Figure 6 shows a serial interface between the DAC8531 and
a typical 8051-type microcontroller. The setup for the interface is as follows: TXD of the 8051 drives SCLK of the
DAC8531, while RXD drives the serial data line of the part.
The SYNC signal is derived from a bit-programmable pin on
the port. In this case, port line P3.3 is used. When data is to
be transmitted to the DAC8531, P3.3 is taken LOW. The
8051 transmits data only in 8-bit bytes; thus only eight falling
clock edges occur in the transmit cycle. To load data to the
DAC, P3.3 is left LOW after the first eight bits are transmitted
and a second write cycle is initiated to transmit the second
byte of data. P3.3 is taken HIGH following the completion of
the third write cycle. The 8051 outputs the serial data in a
format which has the LSB first. The DAC8531 requires its
data with the MSB as the first bit received. The 8051 transmit
routine must therefore take this into account, and “mirror” the
data as needed.

for VDD = 3V. See the Typical Characteristics for more

DAC8531 TO 68HC11 INTERFACE
Figure 8 shows a serial interface between the DAC8531 and
the 68HC11 microcontroller. SCK of the 68HC11 drives the
SCLK of the DAC8531, while the MOSI output drives the
serial data line of the DAC. The SYNC signal is derived from
a port line (PC7), similar to what was done for the 8051.
power supply is quite noisy or if the system supply voltages
are at some value other than 5V. The REF02 will output a
steady supply voltage for the DAC8531. If the REF02 is
used, the typical current it needs to supply to the DAC8531
is 250µA. This is with no load on the output of the DAC.
When the DAC output is loaded, the REF02 also needs to
supply the current to the load. The total current required (with
a 5kΩ load on the DAC output) is:
250µA + (5V/ 5kΩ) = 1.29mA

The load regulation of the REF02 is typically 0.005%/mA,

NOTE: (1) Additional pins omitted for clarity.
BIPOLAR OPERATION USING THE DAC8531
FIGURE 8. DAC8531 to 68HC11 Interface.
The 68HC11 should be configured so that its CPOL bit is a
0 and its CPHA bit is a 1. This configuration causes data
appearing on the MOSI output to be valid on the falling edge
of SCK. When data is being transmitted to the DAC, the
SYNC line is taken LOW (PC7). Serial data from the 68HC11
is transmitted in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling clock edges
occurring in the transmit cycle. Data is transmitted MSB first.
In order to load data to the DAC8531, PC7 is left LOW after
the first eight bits are transferred, then a second and third
serial write operation is performed to the DAC and PC7 is
taken HIGH at the end of this procedure.
The output voltage for any input code can be calculated as
follows:

APPLICATIONS
USING REF02 AS A POWER SUPPLY FOR
THE DAC8531
Due to the extremely low supply current required by the
DAC8531, an alternative option is to use a REF02 +5V
precision voltage reference to supply the required voltage to
the part, as shown in Figure 9. This is especially useful if the
This is an output voltage range of ±5V with 0000H corresponding to a –5V output and FFFFH corresponding to a +5V
output. Similarly, using VREF = 2.5V, ±2.5V output voltage
raw can be achieved.
LAYOUT
A precision analog component requires careful layout, adequate bypassing, and clean, well-regulated power supplies.
+15
As the DAC8531 offers single-supply operation, it will often
be used in close proximity with digital logic, microcontrollers,
microprocessors, and digital signal processors. The more
digital logic present in the design and the higher the switching speed, the more difficult it will be to keep digital noise
from appearing at the output.

The DAC8531 has been designed for single-supply operation
but a bipolar output range is also possible using the circuit in

of ±VREF. Rail-to-rail operation at the amplifier output is achievable using an OPA703 as the output amplifier.

VOUT = 0V to 5V
DIN
Due to the single ground pin of the DAC8531, all return
currents, including digital and analog return currents, must
flow through the GND pin. Ideally, GND would be connected
directly to an analog ground plane. This plane would be
separate from the ground connection for the digital components until they were connected at the power-entry point of
the system.
FIGURE 9. REF02 as a Power Supply to the DAC8531.

SBAS192B
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 1µF to 10µF and 0.1µF
bypass capacitors are strongly recommended. 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 essentially lowpass filter the +5V supply, removing the high-frequency
noise.
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 the power connections and analog output.
