DS3911
Temperature-Controlled, Nonvolatile,
I2C Quad DAC
General Description
Features
The DS3911 is a quad, 10-bit delta-sigma output, nonvolatile (NV) controller that features an on-chip temperature
sensor and associated analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The integrated temperature sensor indexes the up to
2NC resolution NV lookup tables (LUTs), encompassing
a -40NC to +100NC temperature range. The LUT directly
drives the delta-sigma digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
outputs. This flexible LUT-based architecture allows the
device to provide a temperature-compensated DAC output with arbitrary slope. Programming is accomplished
by an I2C-compatible interface that operates at speeds
of up to 400kHz.

DS3911
Temperature-Controlled, Nonvolatile,
I2C Quad DAC
Detailed Description
The DS3911 operates in one of two modes: lookup table
(LUT) mode or digital-to-analog converter (DAC) mode.
In LUT mode, the DAC’s output is controlled as a function of the temperature measured by the device’s internal
temperature sensor and the pulse-density modulation
profile stored in the associated DAC’s LUT. In DAC mode,
the DAC’s output is controlled by the specific DAC’s DAC
VALUE register (DAC0 VALUE, DAC1 VALUE, DAC2
VALUE, and DAC3 VALUE) using the I2C interface.
Detailed descriptions of these modes as well as additional
device features are discussed in subsequent sections.

Figure 2 shows two recommended filters. These external
RC filter components are chosen to greatly reduce the
output ripple while maintaining the desired response
time. Using resistors smaller than the recommended values can degrade the output accuracy.
The device’s delta-sigma outputs are 10 bits. For illustrative purposes, a 3-bit example is provided. Figure 3
shows each possible output of this 3-bit delta-sigma DAC.

Delta-Sigma DAC Output and Control
Four delta-sigma DAC outputs are provided, DAC0 to
DAC3. With the addition of an external RC filter, these
outputs provide four 10-bit resolution-analog outputs
with the full-scale range set by the input VREF pin. Each
output is either manually controlled or controlled using a
temperature-indexed LUT. A delta-sigma converter produces a digital output using pulse-density modulation.
It provides much lower output ripple than a standard
digital PWM output, given the same clock rate and filter
components.
2kΩ
DS3911
The reference input voltage, VREF, is the supply voltage
for the output buffer of all DACs. The power supply connected to VREF must be able to support the edge-rate
requirements of the delta-sigma outputs. In a typical
application, a 0.1FF capacitor should be connected
between the VREF and GND pins.

DS3911
Temperature-Controlled, Nonvolatile,
I2C Quad DAC
DAC Power-On Values
Each 10-bit DAC is controlled directly by the value in its
corresponding DAC VALUE register. Each DAC also has
a DAC POR register that contains the power-on-reset
(POR) value for the associated DAC, along with two control bits: enable (EN) and polarity (POL). See the Lower
Memory Register Descriptions section for complete lower
memory descriptions.
Lookup Table Mode
The device has four nonvolatile memory tables, one for each
of the four DACs. Each memory table is associated with an
individual DAC as follows: Table 04h (DAC0), Table 05h
(DAC1), Table 06h (DAC2), Table 07h (DAC3), and selected
by setting the table select bits, TS[3:0], in the CTRL register. Each DAC memory table consists of a DAC LUT table
(addresses 80h–AFh) (DAC0 LUT, DAC1 LUT, DAC2 LUT,
and DAC3 LUT) and a DAC OFFSET table (addresses
F8h–FFh) (DAC0 OFFSET, DAC1 OFFSET, DAC2 OFFSET,
and DAC3 OFFSET). Because these four memory tables all
share the same address and register mapping, the TS[3:0]
bits must be used to select among them.
The DAC POR (DAC0 POR, DAC1 POR, DAC2 POR, and
DAC3 POR) registers are shadowed EEPROM with functionality controlled by the shadow EEPROM bit (SEE). If
the SEE bit is high, the DAC POR registers function as
SRAM only. If the SEE bit is low, the registers are shadowed EEPROM and EEPROM write timing, tW, must be
observed.
Each LUT address represents as little as a 2N change
in temperature. Table 1 shows the full temperature-toregister mapping.
On power-up, the initial DAC settings are always transferred from the DAC POR registers to the corresponding
DAC VALUE registers.
The first DAC OFFSET address corresponds to 32N of
temperature. After this, every 16N of temperature converts into one DAC OFFSET address slot. Table 2 shows
the full temperature-to-register mapping.
Manual Control Mode
On power-up, the device starts performing temperature
conversions and the DAC VALUE register whose corresponding EN bit is set is updated by the LUT controller as
described in the Lookup Table Mode section. Clearing the
EN bit enables I2C writes to the corresponding DAC VALUE
and disables LUT controller updates. This allows the individual DACs whose EN bit is cleared to be controlled by
writing the corresponding DAC VALUE register directly.
The TINDEX register points to a LUT address slot. The
TINDEX register can operate in two modes, as defined
by the AEN bit. When the AEN bit is cleared, I2C writes
to the TINDEX register are enabled, and updates from
the LUT controller are blocked. The register can be used
to force DAC updates to be based on the user-selected
index. The TINDEX register directly addresses the LUT

memory locations by dropping TINDEX[7] and forcing
it high. When AEN = 0, any address between 80h and
FFh can be addressed. To get known results in the DAC
VALUE register, TINDEX should be kept between 80h
and AFh.
The device monitors the internal temperature by repeatedly polling the temperature sensor’s result at a rate of
tFRAME. Each cycle, for the DAC whose corresponding
EN bit is set, the device reads the internal temperature
once, and, based on that temperature, calculates the
TINDEX register. The TINDEX value corresponds directly
to the LUT memory address for the given temperature
ranges. The DAC OFFSET address is calculated based
on the TINDEX value so only one pointer is necessary.
These two locations provide the values that eventually
become the 10-bit DAC input, DAC VALUE. This data
that gets loaded into the DAC VALUE register is a math
function of the temperature-indexed LUT value and the
temperature-indexed OFFSET value, as follows:
DAC[9:0] = LUT Setting + 4 x OFFSET Setting
where the DAC[9:0] DAC control value is left-justified in
the 16-bit DAC VALUE register.
DAC VALUE[15:0] = DAC[9:0] x 64
Example Calculation for DAC1:
Assumptions:
1) Temperature is 43NC.
2) DAC1 OFFSET index associated with 43NC is memory
table location FCh and contains data = 2Ah.
3) DAC1 LUT index associated with 43NC is memory
table location 94h and contains data = 7Bh.
DAC1 = 7Bh + 4 x 2Ah = 123h = 291
DAC1 VALUE = 291 x 64
Note: Loss of information occurs if the result of the DAC
VALUE math function described above is greater than
10 bits. It is important to set the DAC VALUE and DAC
OFFSET values to ensure this overflow does not occur.
The eight DAC OFFSET registers can be independently set to achieve any desired temperature coefficient
(tempco) on its associated DAC. Figure 4 demonstrates

Figure 6. DS3911 Slave Address Byte
The slave address byte consists of a 7-bit slave address
plus a R/W bit, as shown in Figure 6. The device’s slave
address is determined by the state of the A0 and A1
address pins. These pins allow up to four devices to
reside on the same I2C bus. Address pins connected to
GND result in a 0 in the corresponding bit position in the
slave address. Conversely, address pins connected to
VCC result in a 1 in the corresponding bit positions. For
example, the device’s slave address byte is B0h when
A0 and A1 are grounded. See the I2C Serial Interface
section for more information.

between two windows (Figure 5). This 1NC hysteresis is
implemented in the TINDEX register value calculation by
adding 1NC to temperature changes of negative slope.
Temperature Conversion and
Supply Voltage Monitoring
Temperature Conversion
The device features an internal 12-bit temperature sensor
that can drive the LUT and provide a measurement of the
ambient temperature over I2C by reading the value stored
in memory addresses 04h–05h. The sensor is functional
over the entire operating temperature range, and the results
are stored in signed two’s-complement format with a 1/16NC
resolution. See the Lower Memory, Register 04h–05h: TEMP
VALUE section for the temperature sensor’s bit weights. The
I2C Definitions
The following terminology is commonly used to describe
I2C data transfers. See the timing diagram (Figure 1) and
the I2C AC Electrical Characteristics table for additional
information.
Master Device: The master device controls the slave
devices on the bus. The master device generates SCL
clock pulses and START and STOP conditions.
Slave Devices: Slave devices send and receive data
at the master’s request.
Bus Idle or Not Busy: Time between STOP and
START conditions when both SDA and SCL are inactive and in their logic-high states.
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.
���������������������������������������������������������������� Maxim Integrated Products 11
DS3911
Temperature-Controlled, Nonvolatile,
I2C Quad DAC
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.
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.
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. 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 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.
Acknowledge (ACK and NACK): An acknowledge
(ACK) or not-acknowledge (NACK) is always the 9th 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 9th bit. A device performs a NACK by
transmitting a one (done by releasing SDA) during the
9th bit. Timing for the ACK and NACK is identical to all
other bit writes. An ACK is the acknowledgment that
the device is properly receiving data (see Figure 7). A
NACK is used to terminate a read sequence, or used
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 acknowledgment from the
slave to the master. The 8 bits transmitted by the master are done according to the bit write definition and the
acknowledgment is read using the bit read definition.
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 device’s slave address is determined by the state
of the A0 and A1 address pins as shown in Figure 6.
Address pins connected to GND result in a 0 in the corresponding bit position in the slave address. Conversely,
address pins connected to VCC result in a 1 in the
corresponding bit positions. When the R/W bit is 0
(such as in B0h), the master is indicating it will write
data to the slave. If R/W is set to 1 (B1h in this case),
the master is indicating it wants to read from the slave.
If an incorrect (nonmatching) slave address is written,
the device 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 to the
device, 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.
I2C Communication
See Figure 7 for I2C communication examples.
Writing a Single Byte 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. The master must read the slave’s acknowledgement during all
byte write operations.
When writing to the device, the DAC’s output adjusts
to the new setting once it has acknowledged the new
data that is being written, and writes to the EEPROM
are written following the STOP condition at the end of
the write command.
Writing Multiple Bytes to a Slave: I2C write operations of multiple bytes can also be performed. During
a single write sequence, up to 8 bytes in one page
���������������������������������������������������������������� Maxim Integrated Products 12
DS3911
Temperature-Controlled, Nonvolatile,
I2C Quad DAC
can be written at one time. If more than 8 bytes are
transmitted in the sequence, only the last 8 transmitted bytes are stored. After the last physical memory
location in a particular page (8-byte page write), the
address counter automatically wraps back to the first
location in the same page for subsequent byte write
operations.
with a NACK to indicate the end of the transfer, and
generates a STOP condition. However, since requiring
the master to keep track of the memory address counter is impractical, the next method should be used to
perform reads from a specified memory location.
Manipulating the Address Counter for Reads: A
dummy write cycle can be used to force the address
counter to a particular value. To do this, the master
generates a START condition, writes the slave address
byte (R/W = 0), writes the memory address where it
desires to read, generates a repeated START condition, writes the slave address byte (R/W = 1), reads
data with ACK or NACK as applicable, and generates
a STOP condition. Recall that the master must NACK
the last byte to inform the slave that no additional bytes
are to be read. See Figure 7 for I2C communication
examples.
Acknowledge Polling: Any time a EEPROM byte is
written, the device requires the EEPROM write time
(tW) after the STOP condition to write the contents of
the byte to EEPROM. During the EEPROM write time,
the device does not acknowledge its slave address
because it is busy. It is possible to take advantage
of this phenomenon by repeatedly addressing the
device, which allows communication to continue as
soon as the device is ready. The alternative to acknowledge polling is to wait for a maximum period of tW to
elapse before attempting to access the device.
Reading Multiple Bytes from a Slave: The read
operation can be used to read multiple bytes with a
single transfer. When reading bytes from the slave,
the master simply ACKs the data byte if it desires to
read another byte before terminating the transaction.
After the master reads the last byte, it must NACK to
indicate the end of the transfer and generates a STOP
condition. During a single read sequence of multiple
Reading a Single Byte from a Slave: Unlike the write
operation that uses the specified memory address
byte to define where the data is to be written, the read
operation occurs at the present value of the memory
address counter. To read a single byte from the slave,
the master generates a START condition, writes the
slave address byte with R/W = 1, reads the data byte

the LUTs. To prevent bus/data contention, the LUT controller goes into a wait state instead of accessing the LUT
if the I2C port is active. Register updates and memory
access are briefly described below.
• After a voltage or temperature conversion completes
or the TINDEX register is calculated, the results are
loaded into a shadow SRAM for the associated register by a backdoor that is not seen by the I2C port. The
value is pushed forward to the SRAM cell seen by the
I2C port at a later state. It is not pushed if the I2C port
is active.
• After TINDEX is calculated and loaded into the shadow SRAM, the LUT controller goes into a round-robin
loop where it updates the VCC VALUE, TEMP VALUE,
and TINDEX registers, reads the DAC OFFSET and
DAC LUT, performs the calculation, and loads the
result into the DAC VALUE register. This process is
where contention could occur. As such, the state
machine waits until I2C is inactive before performing
this process. If the I2C port were to become active
for a long time period, the temperature compensation
does not run.
Memory Description
The device’s internal memory consists of both volatile
and nonvolatile registers located in Lower Memory and
four separate memory tables (Upper Memory), as shown
in Figure 8.
Table 04h contains a nonvolatile temperature-indexed
DAC0 LUT and DAC0 OFFSET register designed to
hold the pulse-density modulation profile for DAC0.
Table 05h contains a nonvolatile temperature-indexed
DAC1 LUT and DAC1 OFFSET register designed to
hold the pulse-density modulation profile for DAC1.
Table 06h contains a nonvolatile temperature-indexed
DAC2 LUT and DAC2 OFFSET registers designed to
hold the pulse-density modulation profile for DAC2.
Table 07h contains a nonvolatile temperature-indexed
DAC3 LUT and DAC3 OFFSET registers designed to
hold the pulse-density modulation profile for DAC3.
Shadowed EEPROM
The DAC POR memory locations are actually shadowed
EEPROM and are controlled by the shadowed EEPROM
bit, SEE. By default, SEE is not set and these locations
act as ordinary EEPROM. By setting SEE these locations function like SRAM cells, which allow an infinite
number of write cycles without concern of wearing out
the EEPROM. This also eliminates the requirement for
the EEPROM write time, tW. Because changes made with
SEE enabled do not affect the EEPROM, these changes
are not retained through power cycles. The power-on
value is the last value written with SEE disabled. This
function can be used to speed up calibration and minimize the number of EEPROM write cycles.

The TINDEX register is the temperature indexed address pointer. The TINDEX value corresponds directly to the
LUT memory address for the given temperature ranges. The DAC OFFSET address is calculated based on the
TINDEX value, so only one pointer is necessary.
The pointer value is calculated based on the current temperature reading (see the below equation). The calculation
uses different math depending on which LUT range (2NC or 4NC) the current temperature measurement resides in.
TINDEX = temp< 56
Temperature + 40
Temperature − 8
+ 128 = temp ≥ 56

A 1NC hysteresis is implemented in the TINDEX value calculation by adding 1NC to temperature changes of negative slope.
When the AEN bit is high, the TINDEX register is read-only and the pointer is updated after the temperature and
voltage conversions have completed. When the AEN bit is cleared, I2C writes to the TINDEX register are enabled
and updates from the LUT controller are blocked. The register can be used to force DAC updates to be based
on the user-selected index. The TINDEX register directly addresses the LUT memory locations by dropping
TINDEX[7] and forcing it high. When AEN = 0, any address between 80h and FFh can be addressed. To obtain
known results in the DAC VALUE register, TINDEX should be kept between 80h and AFh.
TINDEX value is clamped for temperatures below -40NC and above 102NC.

The DAC LUT is a set of registers assigned to hold the pulse-density modulation profile for the associated DAC.
The values in this table are added to four times the corresponding value in the DAC OFFSET table to determine
the set point for the associated DAC. In all four DAC tables, the DAC LUT registers are formatted the same.
Beginning at -40NC, the LUT increments in 4NC steps per address until the temperature reaches 56NC, then it
increments in 2NC steps until it clamps at 102NC. See the LUT Temperature Mapping table for full register-totemperature mapping. Register 80h defines the -40NC to -36NC DAC LUT value, register 81h defines the ‑36NC to
-32NC DAC LUT value, and so on.

The DAC OFFSET is a set of registers assigned to hold the pulse-density modulation profile for the associated DAC.
The values in this table are multiplied by four and added to the corresponding value in the LUT table to determine
the set point for the associated DAC. In all four DAC tables, the DAC OFFSET registers are formatted the same. The
OFFSET registers increase in 16NC steps from -8NC to +88NC. Below -8NC the DAC OFFSET is indexed at 0xF8. See
the Offset Temperature Mapping table for full register to temperature mapping. Register F8h defines the -40NC to
-8NC DAC OFFSET value, register F9h defines the -8NC to +8NC DAC OFFSET value, and so on.

Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
To achieve the best results when using the DS3911,
decouple the power supply with a 0.01FF or 0.1FF 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 high-frequency
response for decoupling applications. Likewise, a decoupling capacitor should be placed from VREF to GND.
SDA and SCL Pullup Resistors
SDA is an I/O with an open-collector output that requires
a pullup resistor to realize high-logic levels. A master
using either an open-collector output with a pullup resistor or a push-pull output driver can be used for SCL.
Pullup resistor values should be chosen to ensure that
the rise and fall times listed in the I2C AC Electrical
Characteristics table are within specification. A typical
value for the pullup resistors is 4.7kI.
