It uses a novel circuit topology to convert the 13-bit digital inputs into equivalent output voltages that are proportionate to the applied reference voltages. The SPT5400 has four separate reference voltage (REFxx) and analog ground (AGNDxx) inputs for each DAC pair. The REFxx inputs allow for separate full-scale output voltages for each DAC pair. The AGNDxx inputs allow for separate offset voltages for each DAC pair. VOLTAGE REFERENCE AND ANALOG GROUND INPUTS The REFxx and AGNDxx inputs set the output range of the corresponding DAC pair. For a detailed description of the relationship between the DAC output range and the REFxx and AGNDxx input voltages, see the Analog Outputs section of this datasheet. The reference input impedance is code dependent. It is at its highest value when the input code of the corresponding DAC pair is all 1s. It is at its lowest value when the input code is all 0s. Because the input impedance is code dependent, load regulation of the reference is critical. MULTIPLYING OPERATION Because the reference of the SPT5400 accepts both AC and DC signals, it can be used for multiplying applications. The REFxx inputs (which set the full-scale output voltage for the respective DACs) only accept positive voltages, so the multiplying operation is limited to two quadrants. Note that when applying AC signals to the reference, do not bypass the inputs. A1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 A0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 Function DAC A input latch DAC B input latch DAC C input latch DAC D input latch DAC E input latch DAC F input latch DAC G input latch DAC H input latch The control inputs of the SPT5400 are level triggered, and are shown in table III. The input latch is controlled by CS and WR, and the transfer of data to the DAC latch is controlled by LDxx. When CS and WR are low, the input latch is transparent. When LDxx is low the DAC latch is transparent. To avoid transferring data to the wrong DAC, the address lines (A0–A2) must be valid through the time CS and WR are low. See the timing diagram for specific timing values. When CS and WR are high, the data is latched into the input latch. When LDxx is high, the data is latched into the DAC latch. If LDxx is low when CS and WR are low, then it must be held low for t3 or longer after CS or WR goes high. When CLR is low, all DAC outputs are set to their corresponding AGNDxx. When CLR toggles from low to high, 1000hex is latched into all input and DAC latches. Table III – Interface Truth Table CLR LDxx WR 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 DIGITAL INPUTS AND MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACE All digital inputs are TTL/CMOS compatible. The SPT5400 is compatible with microprocessors having a minimum 13-bit-wide data bus. The microprocessor interface is double-buffered to allow all the DACs to be simultaneously updated. 0 1 1 x x x 0 x 0 1 x 0 1 x x x CS 0 x 1 0 x 1 x x Function Both latches transparent Both latches latched Both latches latched Input latch transparent Input latch latched Input latch latched DAC latch transparent All input and DAC latches at 1000hex, outputs at AGNDxx DAC ADDRESSING AND LATCHING DIGITAL CODE Each DAC has an input latch that receives data from the data bus, and a DAC latch that receives data from the input latch. The address lines (A0–A2) for each DAC input latch are shown in table II. Data is transferred from the input latch to the DAC latch when LDxx is asserted. The analog output of each DAC reflects the data held in its corresponding DAC latch. In addition to being latched, data can be transferred to the DAC directly through transparent latches. The SPT5400 uses offset binary coding. Conversion to a 13-bit offset binary code from a 13-bit twos-complement code can be achieved by adding 212 = 4096. SPT5400 4 5/15/00 POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING The required power-up sequence is as follows: VSS (or VDD) first, VDD (or VSS) second, and then REF_. The sequence in which VDD and VSS come up is not critical. However, REF_ must come up after VDD and VSS are established. Fairchild strongly recommends that the digital input pins be driven only after VDD and VSS are established. Driving a digital input prior to establishing supplies will violate a condition outlined in the Input Voltages section (see the Absolute Maximum Ratings on page 2 of this data sheet) and cause damage to the part. If either REF_ or the digital inputs must come up before VDD and VSS, due to system constraints, limit the current to the REF_ or digital input pins to less than 1 mA. This recommended power-up sequence must be executed in reversed order for power-down. It should be noted that none of the Absolute Maximum Rating conditions are violated during power-up and power-down. ANALOG OUTPUTS The voltage outputs to the SPT5400 are buffered internally by precision amplifiers with a 2.4 V/µs typical slew rate. The typical settling time to ±1/2 LSB, with a fullscale transition at the outputs, is 7 µs. Each DAC output is protected against a short to GND or AGNDxx. The typical short-circuit currents are 25 mA when the DAC is at positive full scale, and 2.5 mA when the DAC is at negative full scale. BIPOLAR OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE (AGNDxx = 0 V) For symmetrical bipolar operation, AGNDxx should be tied to the system ground. The relationship between the output voltage and the digital code is shown in table IV. The output voltage of the DAC ladder (VDAC) is multiplied by 2 and level-shifted by the reference voltage. The output voltage of the amplifier is given by the following equation: VOUT = 2(VDAC) – REFxx Where VDAC is the voltage at the noninverting input of the amplifier and REFxx is the voltage at the reference input of the DAC. With AGNDxx connected to the system ground, the output voltage of the DAC ladder is: VDAC = (D/213)REFxx Where D is the numeric value of the DAC’s binary input code. Replacing VDAC in the equation gives the output voltage. VOUTxx=2 213 (REFxx) − REFxx = REFxx 212 − 1 = REFxx 4096 − 1 D D 1 LSB = REFxx D 1 4096 D ranges from 0 to 8191 (213 –1).

The relationship between the output voltage and the digital code is shown in table IV. For example, if a 4.096 V reference is used, AGNDxx should be offset by 2.048 V. This results in a unipolar output voltage of 0 to 4.0955 V, where 1 LSB = 500 µV. the maximum current out of any AGNDxx pin is: I AGNDXX = REFxx − AGNDxx 5 kΩ CUSTOM OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE If the voltage at the REFxx input is higher than the voltage at the AGNDxx input, the AGNDxx inputs can be offset by any voltage within the supply rails. One way to achieve this is to add positive offset to AGNDxx by selecting the reference voltage and the voltage at AGNDxx such that the resulting output voltages do not come within ±0.5 V of the supply rails. Another way is to digitally offset AGNDxx by connecting one DAC output to one or more AGNDxx inputs. Note that a DAC output should not be connected to its own AGNDxx input.
