The DAC7551-Q1 is a single-channel, voltage-output
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with exceptional
linearity and monotonicity, and a proprietary
architecture that minimizes glitch energy. The
low-power DAC7551-Q1 operates from a single 2.7V
to 5.5V supply. The DAC7551-Q1 output amplifiers
can drive a 2kΩ, 200pF load rail-to-rail with 5μs
settling time; the output range is set using an external
voltage reference.

Power-On Reset to Zero Scale
Power Supply: 2.7V to 5.5V Single Supply
Power-Down: 0.05μA at 2.7V
12-Bit Linearity and Monotonicity
Rail-to-Rail Voltage Output
Settling Time: 5μs (Max)
SPI-Compatible Serial Interface with
Schmitt-Trigger Input: Up to 50MHz
Daisy-Chain Capability
Asynchronous Hardware Clear to Zero Scale
Specified Temperature Range:
–40°C to +105°C
Small, 2 x 3 mm, 12-Lead SON Package
The 3-wire serial interface operates at clock rates up
to 50MHz and is compatible with SPI™, QSPI™,
Microwire™, and DSP interface standards. The parts
incorporate a power-on-reset circuit to ensure that the
DAC output powers up to 0V and remains there until
a valid write cycle to the device takes place. The part
contains a power-down feature that reduces the
current consumption of the device to under 2μA.
Small size and low-power operation make the
DAC7551-Q1 ideally suited for battery-operated,
portable applications. The power consumption is
typically 0.5mW at 5V, 0.23mW at 3V, and reduces 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.

The resistor string section is shown in Figure 27. It is
simply a string of resistors, each of value R. The
digital code loaded to the DAC register determines at
which node on the string the voltage is tapped off to
be fed into the output amplifier. The voltage is tapped
off by closing one of the switches connecting the
string to the amplifier. It is specified monotonic
because it is a string of resistors.

OUTPUT BUFFER AMPLIFIERS
Power-On Reset
The output buffer amplifier is capable of generating
rail-to-rail voltages on its output, giving an output
range of 0V to VDD. It is capable of driving a load of
2kΩ in parallel with up to 1000pF to GND. The source
and sink capabilities of the output amplifier can be
seen in the typical curves. The slew rate is 1.8V/μs
with a half-scale settling time of 3μs with the output
unloaded.
On power up, all registers are cleared and the DAC
channel is updated with zero-scale voltage. The DAC
output remains in this state until valid data are
written. This setup is particularly useful in applications
where it is important to know the state of the DAC
output while the device is powering up. In order to not
turn on ESD protection devices, VDD and IOVDD
should be applied before any other pin (such as
VREFH) is brought high. The power-up sequence of
VDD and IOVDD is irrelevant. Therefore, IOVDD can be
brought up before VDD, or vice-versa.
DAC External Reference Input
The DAC7551-Q1 contains VREFH and VREFL
reference inputs, which are unbuffered. The VREFH
reference voltage can be as low as 0.25V, and as
high as VDD because there is no restriction of
headroom and footroom from any reference amplifier.
Power Down
It is recommended to use a buffered reference in the
external circuit (for example, the REF3140). The input
impedance is typically 100kΩ.
The DAC7551-Q1 has a flexible power-down
capability. During a power-down condition, the user
has flexibility to select the output impedance of the
DAC. During power-down operation, the DAC can
have either 1kΩ, 100kΩ, or Hi-Z output impedance to
ground.
Amplifier Sense Input
Asynchronous Clear
The DAC7551-Q1 contains an amplifier feedback
input pin, VFB. For voltage output operation, VFB must
be externally connected to VOUT. For better DC
accuracy, this connection should be made at load
points. The VFB pin is also useful for a variety of
applications, including digitally-controlled current
sources. The feedback input pin is internally
connected to the DAC amplifier negative input
terminal through a 100kΩ resistor. The amplifier
negative input terminal internally connects to ground
through another 100kΩ resistor (Figure 26). These
connections form a gain-of-two, noninverting,
amplifier configuration. Overall gain remains one
because the resistor string has a divide-by-two
configuration. The resistance seen at the VFB pin is
approximately 200kΩ to ground.
The DAC7551-Q1 output is asynchronously set to
zero-scale voltage immediately after the CLR pin is
brought low. The CLR signal resets all internal
registers and therefore behaves like the Power-On
Reset. The DAC7551-Q1 updates at the first rising
edge of the SYNC signal that occurs after the CLR
pin is brought back to high.

IOVDD and Level Shifters
The DAC7551-Q1 can be used with different logic
families that require a wide range of supply voltages.
To enable this useful feature, the IOVDD pin must be
connected to the logic supply voltage of the system.
All DAC7551-Q1 digital input and output pins are
equipped with level-shifter circuits. Level shifters at
the input pins ensure that external logic-high voltages
are translated to the internal logic-high voltage, with
no additional power dissipation. Similarly, the level
shifter for the SDO pin translates the internal
logic-high voltage (VDD) to the external logic-high
level (IOVDD). For single-supply operation, the IOVDD
pin can be tied to the VDD pin.

SERIAL INTERFACE
The DAC7551-Q1 is controlled over a versatile 3-wire
serial interface, which operates at clock rates up to
50MHz and is compatible with SPI, QSPI, Microwire,
and DSP interface standards.
16-Bit Word and Input Shift Register
The input shift register is 16 bits wide. DAC data are
loaded into the device as a 16-bit word under the
control of a serial clock input, SCLK, as shown in
Figure 1, the Serial Write Operation timing diagram.
The 16-bit word, illustrated in Table 1, consists of four
control bits followed by 12 bits of DAC data. The data
format is straight binary with all zeroes corresponding
to 0V output and all ones corresponding to full-scale
output (VREF – 1LSB). Data are loaded MSB first (bit
15) where the first two bits (DB15 and DB14) are
don't care bits. Bit 13 and bit 12 (DB13 and DB12)
determine either normal mode operation or
power-down mode (see Table 1).
The SYNC input is a level-triggered input that acts as
a frame synchronization signal and chip enable. Data
can only be transferred into the device while SYNC is
low. To start the serial data transfer, SYNC should be
taken low, observing the minimum SYNC to SCLK
falling edge setup time, t4. After SYNC goes low,
serial data is shifted into the device input shift register
on the falling edges of SCLK for 16 clock pulses.
The SPI interface is enabled after SYNC becomes
low and the data are continuously shifted into the shift
register at each falling edge of SCLK. When SYNC is
brought high, the last 16 bits stored in the shift
register are latched into the DAC register, and the
DAC updates.
Daisy-Chain Operation
Daisy-chain operation is used for updating
serially-connected devices on the rising edge of
SYNC.
As long as SYNC is high, the SDO pin is in a
high-impedance state. When SYNC is brought low
the output of the internal shift register is tied to the
SDO pin. As long as SYNC is low, SDO duplicates
the SDIN signal with a 16-cycle delay. To support
multiple devices in a daisy chain, SCLK and SYNC
signals are shared across all devices, and SDO of
one DAC7551-Q1 should be tied to the SDIN of the
next DAC7551-Q1. For n devices in such a daisy
chain, 16n SCLK cycles are required to shift the
entire input data stream. After 16n SCLK falling
edges are received, following a falling SYNC, the
data stream becomes complete and SYNC can be
brought high to update n devices simultaneously.
SDO operation is specified at a maximum SCLK
speed of 10MHz.
In daisy-chain mode, the use of a weak pull-down
resistor on the SDO output pin, which provides the
SDIN data for the next device in the chain, is
recommended. For standalone operation, the
maximum clock speed is 50MHz. For daisy-chain
operation, the maximum clock speed is 10MHz.
INTEGRAL AND DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY
The DAC7551-Q1 uses precision thin-film resistors
providing exceptional linearity and monotonicity.
Integral linearity error is typically within ±0.35LSBs,
and differential linearity error is typically within
±0.08LSBs.
GLITCH ENERGY
The DAC7551-Q1 uses a proprietary architecture that
minimizes glitch energy. The code-to-code glitches
are so low that they are usually buried within the
wide-band noise and cannot be easily detected. The
DAC7551-Q1 glitch is typically well under 0.1nV-s.
Such low glitch energy provides more than a ten-time
improvement over industry alternatives.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
WAVEFORM GENERATION
As a result of the exceptional linearity and low glitch
of the DAC7551-Q1, the device is well-suited for
waveform generation (from DC to 10kHz). The
DAC7551-Q1 large-signal settling time is 5μs,
supporting an update rate of 200kSPS. However, the
update rates can exceed 1MSPS if the waveform to
be generated consists of small voltage steps between
consecutive DAC updates. To obtain a high dynamic
range, REF3140 (4.096V) or REF02 (5.0V) are
recommended for reference voltage generation.
GENERATING ±5V, ±10V, AND ±12V
OUTPUTS FOR PRECISION INDUSTRIAL
CONTROL
Industrial control applications can require multiple
feedback loops consisting of sensors, ADCs, MCUs,
DACs, and actuators. Loop accuracy and loop speed
are the two important parameters of such control
loops.
1MSPS (small-signal) maximum data update rate,
DAC7551-Q1 can support high-speed control loops.
Ultralow glitch energy of the DAC7551-Q1
significantly improves loop stability and loop settling
time.
GENERATING INDUSTRIAL VOLTAGE
RANGES
For control loop applications, DAC gain and offset
errors are not important parameters. This
consideration could be exploited to lower trim and
calibration costs in a high-voltage control circuit
design. Using a quad operational amplifier
(OPA4130), and a voltage reference (REF3140), the
DAC7551-Q1 can generate the wide voltage swings
required by the control loop.

Loop Accuracy
DAC offset, gain, and the integral linearity errors are
not factors in determining the accuracy of the loop.
As long as a voltage exists in the transfer curve of a
monotonic DAC, the loop can find it and settle to it.
On the other hand, DAC resolution and differential
linearity do determine the loop accuracy, because
each DAC step determines the minimum incremental
change the loop can generate. A DNL error less
than –1LSB (non-monotonicity) can create loop
instability. A DNL error greater than +1LSB implies
unnecessarily large voltage steps and missed voltage
targets. With high DNL errors, the loop loses its
stability, resolution, and accuracy. Offering 12-bit
ensured monotonicity and ±0.08LSB typical DNL
error, DAC755x devices are great choices for
precision control loops.
Loop Speed
Many factors determine the control loop speed, such
as ADC conversion time, MCU speed, and DAC
settling time. Typically, the ADC conversion time, and
the MCU computation time are the two major factors
that dominate the time constant of the loop. DAC
settling time is rarely a dominant factor because ADC
conversion times usually exceed DAC conversion
times. DAC offset, gain, and linearity errors can slow
the loop down only during the start-up. Once the loop
reaches its steady-state operation, these errors do
not affect loop speed any further. Depending on the
ringing characteristics of the loop transfer function,
DAC glitches can also slow the loop down. With its

Fixed R1 and R2 resistors can be used to coarsely
set the gain required in the first term of the equation.
Once R2 and R1 set the gain to include some
minimal over-range, a single DAC7551-Q1 could be
used to set the required offset voltages. Residual
errors are not an issue for loop accuracy because
offset and gain errors could be tolerated. One
DAC7551-Q1 can provide the Vtail voltages, while four
additional DAC7551-Q1 devices can provide Vdac
voltages to generate four high-voltage outputs. A
single SPI interface is sufficient to control all five
DAC7551-Q1 devices in a daisy-chain configuration.

R1 = 10kΩ, R2 = 15kΩ, Vtail = 3.33V, VREF = 4.096V
For ±10V operation:
R1 = 10kΩ, R2 = 39kΩ, Vtail = 2.56V, VREF = 4.096V
For ±12V operation:
R1 = 10kΩ, R2 = 49kΩ, Vtail = 2.45V, VREF = 4.096V
