The DAC5571 is a low-power, single-channel, 8-bit
buffered voltage output DAC. Its on-chip precision
output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be
achieved. The DAC5571 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
DAC5571s on the same data bus.

The output voltage range of the DAC is 0 V to VDD.
The DAC5571 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 DAC5571 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.
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.
DAC7571/6571/5571 are 12/10/8-bit, single-channel
I2C DACs from the same family. DAC7574/6574/5574
and
DAC7573/6573/5573
are
12/10/8-bit
quad-channel I2C DACs. Also see DAC8571/8574 for
single/quad-channel, 16-bit I2C DACs.

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.

THEORY OF OPERATION
D/A SECTION
The architecture of the DAC5571 consists of a string DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier. Figure 39
shows a block diagram of the DAC architecture.

The input coding to the DAC5571 is unsigned binary, which gives the ideal output voltage as:
V OUT where D = decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to the DAC register; it can range from 0 to 255.
RESISTOR STRING
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 40. It is basically a divide-by-2 resistor, followed by 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. Because the architecture consists of a string of resistors, it is specified monotonic.

OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
The output buffer amplifier is a gain-of-2 amplifier, 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 2 kΩ in parallel with 1000 pF to GND. The
source and sink capabilities of the output amplifier can be seen in the typical characteristics curves. The slew
rate is 1 V/µs with a half-scale settling time of 7 µs with the output unloaded.
I2C Interface
I2C is a two-wire serial interface developed by Philips Semiconductor (see I2C-Bus Specification, Version 2.1,
January 2000). The bus consists of a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) with pullup structures. When the bus
is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high. All the I2C compatible devices connect to the I2C bus through
open drain I/O pins, SDA and SCL. A master device, usually a microcontroller or a digital signal processor,
controls the bus. The master is responsible for generating the SCL signal and device addresses. The master also
generates specific conditions that indicate the START and STOP of data transfer. A slave device receives and/or
transmits data on the bus under control of the master device.
13
DAC5571
www.ti.com
SLAS405 – DECEMBER 2003
THEORY OF OPERATION (continued)
The DAC5571 works as a slave and supports the following data transfer modes, as defined in the I2C-Bus
Specification: standard mode (100 kbps), fast mode (400 kbps), and high-speed mode (3.4 Mbps). The data
transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same; therefore, they are referred to as F/S-mode in
this document. The protocol for high-speed mode is different from the F/S-mode, and it is referred to as
HS-mode. The DAC5571 supports 7-bit addressing; 10-bit addressing and general call address are not
supported.
F/S-Mode Protocol
•
•
•
•
The master initiates data transfer by generating a start condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low
transition occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, as shown in Figure 41. All I2C-compatible devices should
recognize a start condition.
The master then generates the SCL pulses and transmits the 7-bit address and the read/write direction bit
R/W on the SDA line. During all transmissions, the master ensures that data is valid. A valid data condition
requires the SDA line to be stable during the entire high period of the clock pulse (see Figure 42). All devices
recognize the address sent by the master and compare it to their internal fixed addresses. Only the slave
device with a matching address generates an acknowledge (see Figure 43) by pulling the SDA line low
during the entire high period of the ninth SCL cycle. On detecting this acknowledge, the master knows that a
communication link with a slave has been established.
The master generates further SCL cycles to either transmit data to the slave (R/W bit 1) or receive data from
the slave (R/W bit 0). In either case, the receiver needs to acknowledge the data sent by the transmitter. So
an acknowledge signal can either be generated by the master or by the slave, depending on which one is the
receiver. The 9-bit valid data sequences consisting of 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge can continue as long
as necessary.
To signal the end of the data transfer, the master generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line from low
to high while the SCL line is high (see Figure 41). This releases the bus and stops the communication link
with the addressed slave. All I2C compatible devices must recognize the stop condition. On the receipt of a
stop condition, all devices know that the bus is released, and they wait for a start condition followed by a
matching address.
HS-Mode Protocol
•
•
•
When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high by the pullup devices.
The master generates a start condition followed by a valid serial byte containing HS master code 00001XXX.
This transmission is made in F/S-mode at no more than 400 Kbps. No device is allowed to acknowledge the
HS master code, but all devices must recognize it and switch their internal setting to support 3.4 Mbps
operation.
The master then generates a repeated start condition (a repeated start condition has the same timing as the
start condition). After this repeated start condition, the protocol is the same as F/S-mode, except that
transmission speeds up to 3.4 Mbps are allowed. A stop condition ends the HS-mode and switches all the
internal settings of the slave devices to support the F/S-mode. Instead of using a stop condition, repeated
start conditions should be used to secure the bus in HS-mode.

THEORY OF OPERATION (continued)
DAC5571 I2C Update Sequence
The DAC5571 requires a start condition, a valid I2C address, a control-MSB byte, and an LSB byte for a single
update. After the receipt of each byte, DAC5571 acknowledges by pulling the SDA line low during the high period
of a single clock pulse. A valid I2C address selects the DAC5571. The CTRL/MSB byte sets the operational
mode of the DAC5571, and the four most significant bits. The DAC5571 then receives the LSB byte containing
four least significant data bits followed by four don't care bits. DAC5571 performs an update on the falling edge
of the acknowledge signal that follows the LSB byte.
For the first update, DAC5571 requires a start condition, a valid I2C address, a CTRL/MSB byte, an LSB byte.
For all consecutive updates, DAC5571 needs a CTRL/MSB byte, and an LSB byte.
Using the I2C high-speed mode (fscl= 3.4 MHz), the clock running at 3.4 MHz, each 8-bit DAC update other than
the first update can be done within 18 clock cycles (CTRL/MSB byte, acknowledge signal, LSB byte,
acknowledge signal), at 188.88 KSPS. Using the fast mode (fscl= 400 kHz), clock running at 400 kHz, maximum
DAC update rate is limited to 22.22 KSPS. Once a stop condition is received, DAC5571 releases the I2C bus and
awaits a new start condition.

The address byte is the first byte received following the START condition from the master device. The first six
bits (MSBs) of the address are factory preset to 100110. The next bit of the address is the device select bit A0.
The A0 address input can be connected to VDD or digital GND, or can be actively driven by TTL/CMOS logic
levels. The device address is set by the state of this pin during the power-up sequence of the DAC5571. Up to
two devices (DAC5571) can be connected to the same I2C-Bus without requiring additional glue logic.

regardless of the state of the address pin A0.

POWER-ON RESET
The DAC5571 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 DAC5571 contains four separate modes of operation. These modes are programmable via two bits (PD1
and PD0). Table 1 shows how the state of these bits correspond to the mode of operation.

High Impedance, PWD
When both bits are set to zero, the device works normally with normal power consumption of 150 µA at 5 V.
However, for the three power-down modes, the supply current falls to 200 nA at 5 V (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 = 3 V. See the Typical Characteristics section for more information.
CURRENT CONSUMPTION
The DAC5571 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.
DRIVING RESISTIVE AND CAPACITIVE LOADS
The DAC5571 output stage is capable of driving loads of up to 1000 pF while remaining stable. Within the offset
and gain error margins, the DAC5571 can operate rail-to-rail when driving a capacitive load. 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.

SLAS405 – DECEMBER 2003
OUTPUT VOLTAGE STABILITY
The DAC5571 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. Combined with good dc noise performance and true 8-bit differential linearity, the
DAC5571 becomes a perfect choice for closed-loop control applications.
APPLICATIONS
USING REF02 AS A POWER SUPPLY FOR THE DAC5571
Due to the extremely low supply current required by the DAC5571, a possible configuration is to use a REF02
+5-V precision voltage reference to supply the required voltage to the DAC5571'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 5 V. The REF02 outputs a steady supply voltage for the DAC5571.
If the REF02 is used, the current it needs to supply to the DAC5571 is 140 µA typical. 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: 140 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 0.285 mV for the
1.14-mA current drawn from it. This corresponds to a 0.015 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 often has 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 +5-V 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 100-µF electrolytic capacitor or even a Pi filter made up of inductors and capacitors—all
designed to essentially low-pass filter the +5-V supply, removing the high-frequency noise.
