1. General description
The PCF8591 is a single-chip, single-supply low-power 8-bit CMOS data acquisition
device with four analog inputs, one analog output and a serial I2C-bus interface. Three
address pins A0, A1 and A2 are used for programming the hardware address, allowing
the use of up to eight devices connected to the I2C-bus without additional hardware.
Address, control and data to and from the device are transferred serially via the two-line
bidirectional I2C-bus.
The functions of the device include analog input multiplexing, on-chip track and hold
function, 8-bit analog-to-digital conversion and an 8-bit digital-to-analog conversion. The
maximum conversion rate is given by the maximum speed of the I2C-bus.

8. Functional description
8.1 Addressing
Each PCF8591 device in an I2C-bus system is activated by sending a valid address to the
device. The address consists of a fixed part and a programmable part. The programmable
part must be set according to the address pins A0, A1 and A2. The address is always sent
as the first byte after the start condition in the I2C-bus protocol. The last bit of the address
byte is the read/write-bit which sets the direction of the following data transfer (see Table 5
on page 13, Figure 15 on page 13 and Figure 16 on page 13).
8.2 Control byte
The second byte sent to a PCF8591 device is stored in its control register and is required
to control the device function. The upper nibble of the control register is used for enabling
the analog output, and for programming the analog inputs as single-ended or differential
inputs. The lower nibble selects one of the analog input channels defined by the upper
nibble (see Figure 4). If the auto-increment flag is set, the channel number is incremented
automatically after each A/D conversion.
If the auto-increment mode is desired in applications where the internal oscillator is used,
the analog output enable flag must be set in the control byte (bit 6). This allows the
internal oscillator to run continuously, by this means preventing conversion errors
resulting from oscillator start-up delay. The analog output enable flag can be reset at other
times to reduce quiescent power consumption.
The selection of a non-existing input channel results in the highest available channel
number being allocated. Therefore, if the auto-increment flag is set, the next selected
channel is always channel 0. The most significant bits of both nibbles are reserved for
possible future functions and must be set to logic 0. After a Power-On Reset (POR)
condition, all bits of the control register are reset to logic 0. The D/A converter and the
oscillator are disabled for power saving. The analog output is switched to a
high-impedance state.

Control byte
8.3 D/A conversion
The third byte sent to a PCF8591 device is stored in the DAC data register and is
converted to the corresponding analog voltage using the on-chip D/A converter. This D/A
converter consists of a resistor divider chain connected to the external reference voltage
with 256 taps and selection switches. The tap-decoder switches one of these taps to the
DAC output line (see Figure 5).
The analog output voltage is buffered by an auto-zeroed unity gain amplifier. Setting the
analog output enable flag of the control register switches this buffer amp on or off. In the
active state, the output voltage is held until a further data byte is sent.
The on-chip D/A converter is also used for successive approximation A/D conversion. In
order to release the DAC for an A/D conversion cycle the unity gain amplifier is equipped
with a track and hold circuit. This circuit holds the output voltage while executing the A/D
conversion.

8.4 A/D conversion
The A/D converter uses the successive approximation conversion technique. The on-chip
D/A converter and a high-gain comparator are used temporarily during an A/D conversion
cycle.
An A/D conversion cycle is always started after sending a valid read mode address to a
PCF8591 device. The A/D conversion cycle is triggered at the trailing edge of the
acknowledge clock pulse and is executed while transmitting the result of the previous
conversion (see Figure 8).

A/D conversion sequence
Once a conversion cycle is triggered, an input voltage sample of the selected channel is
stored on the chip and is converted to the corresponding 8-bit binary code. Samples
picked up from differential inputs are converted to an 8-bit two's complement code (see
Figure 9 and Figure 10).

The conversion result is stored in the ADC data register and awaits transmission. If the
auto-increment flag is set, the next channel is selected.
The first byte transmitted in a read cycle contains the conversion result code of the
previous read cycle. After a POR condition, the first byte read is 80h. The protocol of an
I2C-bus read cycle is shown in Section 9.
The maximum A/D conversion rate is given by the actual speed of the I2C-bus.

8.5 Reference voltage
For the D/A and A/D conversion, either a stable external voltage reference or the supply
voltage must be applied to the resistor divider chain (pins VREF and AGND). The AGND
pin has to be connected to the system analog ground. It may have a DC off-set with
reference to VSS.
A low frequency can be applied to the VREF and AGND pins. This allows the use of the
D/A converter as a one-quadrant multiplier (see Section 10 and Figure 6)
The A/D converter can also be used as a one or two quadrant analog divider. The analog
input voltage is divided by the reference voltage. The result is converted to a binary code.
In this application, the reference voltage must be kept stable during the conversion cycle.
8.6 Oscillator
An on-chip oscillator generates the clock signal required for the A/D conversion cycle and
for refreshing the auto-zeroed buffer amplifier. When using this oscillator the EXT pin must
be connected to VSS. The oscillator frequency is available at the OSC pin.
If the EXT pin is connected to VDD, the oscillator output OSC is switched to a
high-impedance state allowing to feed an external clock signal to OSC.

9. Characteristics of the I2C bus
The I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules.
The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines must
be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor. Data transfer may be initiated only
when the bus is not busy.
9.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse, as changes in the data line at this time
are interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 11).

9.2 START and STOP conditions
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy.
A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START
condition - S.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP
condition - P (see Figure 12).

9.3 System configuration
A device generating a message is a transmitter; a device receiving a message is a
receiver. The device that controls the message is the master; and the devices which are
controlled by the master are the slaves (see Figure 13).

9.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of 8 bits is followed by an acknowledge
cycle.
• A slave receiver, which is addressed, must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte
• Also a master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter
• The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be considered)
• A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP
condition
Acknowledgement on the I2C-bus is shown in Figure 14.

10. Application design-in information
Inputs must be connected to VSS or VDD when not in use. Analog inputs may also be
connected to AGND or VREF.
In order to prevent excessive ground and supply noise and to minimize crosstalk of the
digital to analog signal paths the printed-circuit board layout must be very carefully
designed. Supply lines common to a PCF8591 device and noisy digital circuits and ground
loops should be avoided. Decoupling capacitors (>10 F) are recommended for power
supply and reference voltage inputs.

16. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
16.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
16.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
16.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

16.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 24) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 12 and 13

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 24.
