Intended for final calibration of products such as camcorders, fax machines and cellular telephones on automated high volume production lines, it is also well suited for systems capable of self calibration, and applications where equipment which is either difficult to access or in a hazardous environment, requires periodic adjustment. Control of the CAT514 is accomplished with a simple 3 wire serial interface. A Chip Select pin allows several CAT514's to share a common serial interface and communication back to the host controller is via a single serial data line thanks to the CAT514’s Tri-Stated Data Output pin. A Rdy/Bsy output working in concert with an internal low voltage detector signals proper operation of EEPROM Erase/Write cycle. The CAT514 is available in the 0 to 70° C Commercial and –40° C to + 85° C Industrial operating temperature ranges and offered in 14-pin plastic DIP and SOIC packages. The 4 independently programmable DAC's have an output range which includes both supply rails. Output settings, stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory, are not lost when the device is powered down and are automatically reinstated when power is returned. Each output can be dithered to test new output values without effecting the stored settings and stored settings can be read back without disturbing the DAC’s output.

Data loaded into the DAC control registers will remain in effect until CS goes low. Bringing CS to a logic low returns all DAC outputs to the settings stored in EEPROM memory and switches DO to its high impedance Tri-State mode. The CAT514 is a quad 8-bit Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) whose outputs can be programmed to any one of 256 individual voltage steps. Once programmed, these output settings are retained in non-volatile EEPROM memory and will not be lost when power is removed from the chip. Upon power up the DACs return to the settings stored in EEPROM memory. Each DAC can be written to and read from independently without effecting the output voltage during the read or write cycle. Each output can also be temporarily adjusted without changing the stored output setting, which is useful for testing new output settings before storing them in memory. Because CS functions like a reset the CS pin has been equipped with a 30 ns to 90 ns filter circuit to prevent noise spikes from causing unwanted resets and the loss of volatile data. CLOCK The CAT514’s clock controls both data flow in and out of the IC and EEPROM memory cell programming. Serial data is shifted into the DI pin and out of the DO pin on the clock’s rising edge. While it is not necessary for the clock to be running between data transfers, the clock must be operating in order to write to EEPROM memory, even though the data being saved may already be resident in the DAC control register. DIGITAL INTERFACE The CAT514 employs a standard 3 wire serial control interface consisting of Clock (CLK), Chip Select (CS) and Data In (DI) inputs. For all operations, address and data are shifted in LSB first. In addition, all digital data must be preceded by a logic “1” as a start bit. The DAC address and data are clocked into the DI pin on the clock’s rising edge. When sending multiple blocks of information a minimum of two clock cycles is required between the last block sent and the next start bit. No clock is necessary upon system power-up. The CAT514’s internal power-on reset circuitry loads data from EEPROM to the DACs without using the external clock. Multiple devices may share a common input data line by selectively activating the CS control of the desired IC. Data Outputs (DO) can also share a common line because the DO pin is Tri-Stated and returns to a high impedance when not in use. As data transfers are edge triggered clean clock transitions are necessary to avoid falsely clocking data into the control registers. Standard CMOS and TTL logic families work well in this regard and it is recommended that any mechanical switches used for breadboarding or device evaluation purposes be debounced by a flip-flop or other suitable debouncing circuit. CHIP SELECT Chip Select (CS) enables and disables the CAT514’s read and write operations. When CS is high data may be 5 Doc. No. 25075-00 2/98 M-1 CAT514 complished through the control signals: Chip Select (CS) and Program (PROG). With CS high, a start bit followed by a two bit DAC address and eight data bits are clocked into the DAC control register via the DI pin. Data enters on the clock’s rising edge. The DAC output changes to its new setting on the clock cycle following D7, the last data bit. VREF VREF, the voltage applied between pins VREFH andVREFL, sets the DAC’s Zero to Full Scale output range where VREFL = Zero and VREFH = Full Scale. VREF can span the full power supply range or just a fraction of it. In typical applications VREFH andVREFL are connected across the power supply rails. When using less than the full supply voltage VREFH is restricted to voltages between VDD and VDD/2 and VREFL to voltages between GND and VDD/2. Programming is achieved by bringing PROG high for a minimum of 3 ms. PROG must be brought high sometime after the start bit and at least 150 ns prior to the rising edge of the clock cycle immediately following the D7 bit. Two clock cycles after the D7 bit the DAC control register will be ready to receive the next set of address and data bits. The clock must be kept running throughout the programming cycle. Internal control circuitry takes care of ramping the programming voltage for data transfer to the EEPROM cells. The CAT514’s EEPROM memory cells will endure over 100,000 write cycles and will retain data for a minimum of 20 years without being refreshed. /BUSY READY/BUSY When saving data to non-volatile EEPROM memory, the Ready/Busy ouput (RDY/BSY) signals the start and duration of the EEPROM erase/write cycle. Upon receiving a command to store data (PROG goes high) RDY/ BSY goes low and remains low until the programming cycle is complete. During this time the CAT514 will ignore any data appearing at DI and no data will be output on DO. RDY/BSY is internally ANDed with a low voltage detector circuit monitoring VDD. If VDD is below the minimum value required for EEPROM programming, RDY/BSY will remain high following the program command indicating a failure to record the desired data in non-volatile memory. READING DATA Each time data is transferred into a DAC control register currently held data is shifted out via the D0 pin, thus in every data transaction a read cycle occurs. Note, however, that the reading process is destructive. Data must be removed from the register in order to be read. Figure 2 depicts a Read Only cycle in which no change occurs in the DAC’s output. This feature allows µPs to poll DACs for their current setting without disturbing the output voltage but it assumes that the setting being read is also stored in EEPROM so that it can be restored at the end of the read cycle. In Figure 2 CS returns low before the 13th clock cycle completes. In doing so the EEPROM’s setting is reloaded into the DAC control register. Since DATA OUTPUT Data is output serially by the CAT514, LSB first, via the Data Out (DO) pin following the reception of a start bit and two address bits by the Data Input (DI). DO becomes active whenever CS goes high and resumes its high impedance Tri-State mode when CS returns low. Tri-Stating the DO pin allows several 514s to share a single serial data line and simplifies interfacing multiple 514s to a microprocessor.

Had the value held in the control register been different from that stored in EEPROM then a change would occur at the read cycle’s conclusion. this feature, the new value must be reloaded into the DAC control register prior to programming. This is because the CAT514’s internal control circuitry discards the new data from the programming register two clock cycles after receiving it (after reception is complete) if no PROG signal is received. TEMPORARILY CHANGE OUTPUT Figure 3. Temporary Change in Output The CAT514 allows temporary changes in DAC’s output to be made without disturbing the settings retained in EEPROM memory.
