FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The DAC7571 is a low-power, single channel, 12-bit
buffered voltage output DAC. Its on-chip precision
output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be
achieved. The DAC7571 utilizes an I2C compatible
two wire serial interface that operates at clock rates
up to 3.4 Mbps with address support of up to two
DAC7571s on the same data bus.

Micropower Operation: 140 µA @ 5 V
Power-On Reset to Zero
+2.7-V to +5.5 V-Power Supply
Specified Monotonic by Design
Settling Time: 10 µs to ±0.003%FS
I2C™ Interface up to 3.4 Mbps
On-Chip Output Buffer Amplifier, Rail-to-Rail
Operation
Double-Buffered Input Register
Address Support for up to Two DAC7571s
Small 6 Lead SOT Package
Operation From –40°C to 105°C
The output voltage range of the DAC is set to VDD.
The DAC7571 incorporates a power-on-reset circuit
that ensures that the DAC output powers up at zero
volts and remains there until a valid write to the
device takes place. The DAC7571 contains a
power-down feature, accessed via the internal control
register, that reduces the current consumption of the
device to 50 nA at 5 V.
APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
•
•
The low power consumption of this part in normal
operation makes it ideally suited for portable battery
operated equipment. The power consumption is less
than 0.7 mW at VDD = 5 V reducing to 1 µW in
power-down mode.

The input coding to the DAC7571 is unsigned binary, which gives the ideal output voltage as:

where D = decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to the DAC register; it can range from 0 to 4095.
RESISTOR STRING
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 40. 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. The negative tap of the resistor string is tied to GND. The positive tap of the
resistor string is tied to VDD.

THEORY OF OPERATION (continued)
OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
The output buffer amplifier is capable of generating rail-to-rail voltages on its output which gives an output range
of 0 V to VDD. It is capable of driving a load of 2kΩ in parallel with 1000 pF to GND. The source and sink
capabilities of the output amplifier can be seen in the typical characteristics. The slew rate is 1V/µs with a
half-scale settling time of 8 µs with the output unloaded.
I2C Interface
The DAC7571 uses an I2C interface as defined by Philips Semiconductor to receive data in slave mode (see
I2C-Bus Specification, Version 2.1, January 2000). The DAC7571 supports the following data transfer modes,
described in the I2C-Bus Specification: Standard Mode (100 kbit/s), Fast Mode (400 kbit/s) and High-Speed
Mode (3.4 Mbit/s). Ten-bit addressing and general call addres are not supported.
For simplicity, standard mode and fast mode are referred to as F/S-mode and high-speed mode is referred tg as
HS-mode.
The 2-wire I2C serial bus protocol operates as follows:
• The Master initiates data transfer by establishing a Start condition. The Start condition is defined when a
high-to-low transition occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, as shown in Figure 41. The byte following
the start condition is the address byte consisting of the 7-bit slave address followed by the W bit.

The addressed Slave responds by pulling the SDA pin low during the ninth clock pulse, termed the
Acknowledge bit (see Figure 42). At this stage all other devices on the bus remain idle while the selected
device waits for data to be written to its shift register.

Data is transmitted over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock cycles (8 data bits followed by an

during the high period of SCL (see Figure 43).

The address byte is the first byte received by the DAC7571 following the START condition from the master
device. The first five bits (MSBs) of the slave address are factory preset to 100110. The next bit of the address
byte is the device select bit, A0. In order for DAC7571 to respond, the logic state of address bit A0 should match
the logic state of address pin A0. A maximum of two devices with the same preset code can therefore be
connected on the same bus at one time. The A0 Address Input can be connected to VDD or digital ground, or can
be actively driven by TTL or CMOS logic levels. The device address is set by the state of the A0 pin upon
power-up of the DAC7571. The last bit of the address byte (R/W) should always be zero. Following the START
condition, the DAC7571 monitors the SDA bus, checking the device type identifier being transmitted. Upon
receiving the 100110 code, the appropriate device select bit and the R/W bit, the DAC7571 outputs an
acknowledge signal on the SDA line. Upon receipt of a broadcast address 10010000, the DAC7571 responds
regardless of the state of the A0 pin.

SLAS374A – FEBRUARY 2003 – REVISED JANUARY 2004
MASTER TRANSMITTER WRITING TO A SLAVE RECEIVER (DAC7571) IN STANDARD/FAST
MODES
I2C protocol starts when the bus is dile, that is, when SDA and SCL lines are stable high. The master then pulls
the SDA line low while SCL is still high indicting that serial data transfer has started. This is called a start
condition, and can only be asserted by the master. After the start conditioin, the master generates the serial
clock and puts out an address byte. While generating the bit stream, the master ensures the timing for valid data.
For each valid I2C bit, the SDA line should remain stable during the entire high period of the SCL line. The
address byte consists of 7 address bits (1001 100, assuming A0=0) and a direction bit (R/W=0). After sending
the address byte, the master generates a ninth SCL pulse and monitors the state of the SDA line during the high
period of this ninth clock cycle.
The SDA line being pulled low by a receiver during the high period of this 9th clock cylce is called an
acknowledge signal. If the master receives an acknowledge signal, it knows that a DAC7571 successfully
matched the address which the master sent. Upon the receipt of this acknowledge, the master knows that the
communication link with a DAC7571 has been established and more data can be sent. The master continues by
sending a Control/MS-byte, which sets DAC7571 operation mode and specifies the first 4 MSBs of data. After
sending the Control/MS-byte, the master expects an acknowledge signal from the DAC7571. Upon the receipt of
the acknowledge, the master sends an LS-byte that represents the 8 least significant bits of DAC7571's 12-bit
conversion data. After receiving the LS-byte, the DAC7571 sends an acknowledge. At the falling edge of the
acknowledge signal, following the LS-byte, the DAC7571 performs a digital to analog conversion. For further
DAC updates, the master can keep repeating Control/MS-byte and LS-byte sequences expecting an
acknowledge after each byte. After the required number of digital to analog conversions is complete, the master
can break the communication link with the DAC7571 by pulling the SDA line from low to high while SCL line is
high. This is called a stop condition . A stop condition brings the bus back to idle (SDA and SCL both high). A
stop condition indicates that communication with the DAC7571 has ended. All devices on the bus, including the
DAC7571, waits for a new start condition followed by a mtaching address byte. DAC7571 stays in a programmed
state until the receipt of a stop condition.

Once DAC7571 is addressed, high-byte-low-byte sequences can repeat until a stop condition is received.
Use repeated start to secure bus operation and loop back to the stage of write addressing for next Write.
POWER-ON RESET
The DAC7571 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 0 V. It remains at a zero-code output 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
DAC output while it is in the process of powering up.
POWER-DOWN MODES
The DAC7571 contains four separate modes of operation. These modes are programmable via two bits (PD1
and PD0). Table 2 shows how the state of these bits correspond to the mode of operation.

High Impedance, PWD
When both bits are set to 0, the device works normally with normal power consumption of 150 µA at 5V.
However, for the three power-down modes, the supply current falls to 200 nA at 5V (50 nA at 3 V). 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 device is known while in
power-down mode. There are three different options: The output is connected internally to AGND through a 1 kΩ
resistor, a 100 kΩ resistor, or it is left open-circuited (high impedance). The output stage is illustrated in
Figure 46.

Figure 46. Output Stage During Power-Down
All linear circuitry is shut down when the power-down mode is activated. However, the contents of the DAC
register are unaffected when in power-down. The time required to exit power down is typically 2.5 µs for AVDD =
5 V and 5 µs for AVDD = 3V. See the Typical Characteristics for more information.
CURRENT CONSUMPTION
The DAC7571 typically consumes 150 µA at VDD = 5 V and 120 µA at VDD = 3 V. Additional current consumption
can occur due to the digital inputs if VIH << VDD. For most efficient power operation, CMOS logic levels are
recommended at the digital inputs to the DAC. In power-down mode, typical current consumption is 200 nA. Ten
to 20 ms after a power-down command is issued, the power-down current typically drops below 10 mA.
DRIVING RESISTIVE AND CAPACITIVE LOADS
The DAC7571 output stage is capable of driving loads of up to 1000 pF while remaining stable. Within the offset
and gain error margins, the DAC7571 can operate rail-to-rail when driving a capacitive load. Resistive loads of 2
kΩ can be driven by the DAC7571 while achieving a typical load regulation of 1%. As the load resistance drops
below 2 kΩ, the load regulation error increases. When the outputs of the DAC are driven to the positive rail under
resistive loading, the PMOS transistor of each Class-AB output stage can enter into the linear region. When this
occurs, the added IR voltage drop deteriorates the linearity performance of the DAC. This may occur within
approximately the top 20 mV of the DAC's digital input-to-voltage output transfer characteristic.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE STABILITY
The DAC7571 exhibits excellent temperature stability of 5 ppm/°C typical output voltage drift over the specified
temperature range of the device. This enables the output voltage to stay within a ±25 µV window for a ±1°C
ambient temperature change. Good power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) performance reduces supply noise
present on VDD from appearing at the outputs to well below 10 µV-s. Combined with good dc noise performance
and true 12-bit differential linearity, the DAC7571 becomes a perfect choice for closed-loop control applications.

APPLICATIONS
USING REF02 AS A POWER SUPPLY FOR THE DAC7571
Due to the extremely low supply current required by the DAC7571, a possible configuration is to use a REF02
+5V precision voltage reference to supply the required voltage to the DAC7571's supply input as well as the
reference input, as shown in Figure 47. This is especially useful if the 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
DAC7571. If the REF02 is used, the current it needs to supply to the DAC7571 is 150 µA typical and 200 µA max
for VDD = 5V. When a DAC output is loaded, the REF02 also needs to supply the current to the load. The total
typical current required (with a 5 mW load on a given DAC output) is: 135 µA + (5 mW/5 V) = 1.14 mA.
The load regulation of the REF02 is typically (0.005%×VDD)/mA, which results in an error of 285 mV for the 1.14
mA current drawn from it. This corresponds to a 0.2 LSB error for a 0 V to 5 V output range.

LAYOUT
A precision analog component requires careful layout, adequate bypassing, and clean, well-regulated power
supplies.
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.
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 1 µF to 10
µF and 0.1 µF 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 low-pass filter the +5V supply, removing the high-frequency noise.
