The DAC7552 is a 12-bit, dual-channel, voltage-output DAC with exceptional linearity and
monotonicity. Its proprietary architecture minimizes
undesired transients such as code-to-code glitch and
channel-to-channel
crosstalk.
The
low-power
DAC7552 operates from a single 2.7-V to 5.5-V
supply. The DAC7552 output amplifiers can drive a
2-kΩ, 200-pF load rail-to-rail with 5-µs settling time;
the output range is set using an external voltage
reference.
The 3-wire serial interface operates at clock rates up
to 50 MHz and is compatible with SPI, QSPI,
Microwire™, and DSP interface standards. The outputs of all DACs may be updated simultaneously or
sequentially. The parts incorporate a power-on-reset
circuit to ensure that the DAC outputs power up to
zero volts and remain there until a valid write cycle to
the device takes place. The parts contain a
power-down feature that reduces the current consumption of the device to under 2 µA.
APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
•
•
The small size and low-power operation makes the
DAC7552 ideally suited for battery-operated portable
applications. The power consumption is typically
1.5 mW at 5 V, 0.75 mW at 3 V, and reduces to 1 µW
in power-down mode.
Portable Battery-Powered Instruments
Digital Gain and Offset Adjustment
Programmable Voltage and Current Sources
Programmable Attenuators
Industrial Process Control
The DAC7552 is available in a 16-lead QFN package
and is specified over –40°C to 105°C.

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
OUTPUT BUFFER AMPLIFIERS
The architecture of the DAC7552 consists of a string
DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier. Figure 29
shows a generalized block diagram of the DAC
architecture.
The output 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 2 kΩ in parallel with up to 1000 pF to GND.
The source and sink capabilities of the output amplifier can be seen in the typical curves. The slew rate is
1.8 V/µs with a typical settling time of 3 µs with the
output unloaded.

DAC External Reference Input
Two separate reference pins are provided for two
DACs, providing maximum flexibility. VREFA serves
DAC A and VREFB serves DAC B. VREFA and
VREFB can be externally shorted together for simplicity.
The input coding to the DAC7552 is unsigned binary,
which gives the ideal output voltage as:
VOUT = VREF × D/4096
It is recommended to use a buffered reference in the
external circuit (e.g., REF3140). The input impedance
is typically 100 kΩ for each reference input pin.
Where D = decimal equivalent of the binary code that
is loaded to the DAC register which can range from 0
to 4095.

Figure 30. Typical Resistor String
RESISTOR STRING
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 30. It is
simply a string of resistors, each of value R. The
digital code loaded to the DAC register determines at
which node on the string the voltage is tapped off to
be fed into the output amplifier. The voltage is tapped
off by closing one of the switches connecting the
string to the amplifier. Because it is a string of
resistors, it is specified monotonic. The DAC7552
architecture uses two separate resistor strings to
minimize channel-to-channel crosstalk.
The DAC7552 contains two amplifier feedback input
pins, VFBA and VFBB. For voltage output operation,
VFBA and VFBB must externally connect to VOUTA
and VOUTB, respectively. For better DC accuracy,
these connections should be made at load points.
The VFBA and VFBB pins are also useful for a
variety of applications, including digitally controlled
current sources. Each feedback input pin is internally
connected to the DAC amplifier's negative input
terminal through a 100-kΩ resistor; and, the amplifier's negative input terminal internally connects to
ground through another 100-kΩ resistor (See Figure 29). This forms a gain-of-two, noninverting amplifier configuration. Overall gain remains one because
the resistor string has a divide-by-two configuration.
The resistance seen at each VFBx pin is approximately 200 kΩ to ground.
Power-On Reset
On power up, all internal registers are cleared and all
channels are updated with zero-scale voltages. Until
valid data is written, all DAC outputs remain in this
state. This is particularly useful in applications where
it is important to know the state of the DAC outputs
while the device is powering up. In order not to turn
on ESD protection devices, VDD should be applied
before any other pin is brought high.

SLAS442B – JANUARY 2005 – REVISED JUNE 2005
Power Down
The DAC7552 has a flexible power-down capability
as described in Table 2. Individual channels could be
powered down separately or all channels could be
powered down simultaneously. During a power-down
condition, the user has flexibility to select the output
impedance of each channel. During power-down
operation, each channel can have either 1-kΩ,
100-kΩ, or Hi-Z output impedance to ground.
Asynchronous Clear
The DAC7552 output is asynchronously set to
zero-scale voltage immediately after the CLR pin is
brought low. The CLR signal resets all internal
registers and therefore behaves like the Power-On
Reset. The DAC7552 updates at the first rising edge
of the SYNC signal that occurs after the CLR pin is
brought back to high.
IOVDD and Level Shifters
The DAC7552 can be used with different logic families that require a wide range of supply voltages (from
1.8 V to 5.5 V). To enable this useful feature, the
IOVDD pin must be connected to the logic supply
voltage of the system. All DAC7552 digital input and
output pins are equipped with level-shifter circuits.
Level shifters at the input pins ensure that external
logic high voltages are translated to the internal logic
high voltage, with no additional power dissipation.
Similarly, the level shifter for the SDO pin translates
the internal logic high voltage (AVDD) to the external
logic high level (IOVDD). For single-supply operation,
the IOVDD pin can be tied to the AVDD pin.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The DAC7552 is controlled over a versatile 3-wire
serial interface, which operates at clock rates up to
50 MHz and is compatible with SPI, QSPI, Microwire,
and DSP interface standards.
In daisy-chain mode (DCEN = 1), the DAC7552
requires a falling SCLK edge after the rising SYNC, in
order to initialize the serial interface for the next
update.
16-Bit Word and Input Shift Register
The input shift register is 16 bits wide. DAC data is
loaded into the device as a 16-bit word under the
control of a serial clock input, SCLK, as shown in the
Figure 1 timing diagram. The 16-bit word, illustrated
in Table 1, consists of four control bits followed by 12
bits of DAC data. The data format is straight binary
with all zeroes corresponding to 0-V output and all
ones corresponding to full-scale output (VREF – 1
LSB). Data is loaded MSB first (bit 15) where the first
two bits (DB15 and DB14) determine if the input
16
register, DAC register, or both are updated with shift
register input data. Bit 13 (DB13) determines whether
the data is for DAC A, DAC B, or both DACs. Bit 12
(DB12) determines either normal mode or
power-down mode (see Table 2). All channels are
updated when bits 15 and 14 (DB15 and DB14) are
high.
The SYNC input is a level-triggered input that acts as
a frame synchronization signal and chip enable. Data
can only be transferred into the device while SYNC is
low. To start the serial data transfer, SYNC should be
taken low, observing the minimum SYNC to SCLK
falling edge setup time, t4. After SYNC goes low,
serial data is shifted into the device's input shift
register on the falling edges of SCLK for 16 clock
pulses.
When DCEN is low, SDO pin is brought to a Hi-Z
state. The first 16 data bits that follow the falling edge
of SYNC are stored in the shift register. The rising
edge of SYNC that follows the 16th data bit updates
the DAC(s). If SYNC is brought high before the 16th
data bit, no action occurs.
When DCEN is high, data can continuously be shifted
into the shift register, enabling the daisy-chain operation. SDO pin becomes active and outputs SDIN
data with 16 clock cycle delay. A rising edge of SYNC
loads the shift register data into the DAC(s). The
loaded data consists of the last 16 data bits received
into the shift register before the rising edge of SYNC.
If daisy-chain operation is not needed, DCEN should
permanently be tied to a logic low voltage.
Daisy-Chain Operation
When DCEN pin is brought high, daisy chaining is
enabled. Serial Data Output (SDO) pin is provided to
daisy-chain multiple DAC7552 devices in a system.
As long as SYNC is high or DCEN is low, the SDO
pin is in a high-impedance state. When SYNC is
brought low the output of the internal shift register is
tied to the SDO pin. As long as SYNC is low and
DCEN is high, SDO duplicates SDIN signal with a
16-cycle delay. To support multiple devices in a daisy
chain, SCLK and SYNC signals are shared across all
devices, and SDO of one DAC7552 should be tied to
the SDIN of the next DAC7552. For n devices in such
a daisy chain, 16n SCLK cycles are required to shift
the entire input data stream. After 16n SCLK falling
edges are received, following a falling SYNC, the
data stream becomes complete and SYNC can be
brought high to update n devices simultaneously.
SDO operation is specified at a maximum SCLK
speed of 10 MHz.

INTEGRAL AND DIFFERENTIAL LINEARITY
The DAC7552 uses precision thin-film resistors providing exceptional linearity and monotonicity. Integral
linearity error is typically within (+/-) 0.35 LSBs, and
differential linearity error is typically within (+/-) 0.08
LSBs.
GLITCH ENERGY
The DAC7552 uses a proprietary architecture that
minimizes glitch energy. The code-to-code glitches
are so low, they are usually buried within the
wide-band noise and cannot be easily detected. The
DAC7552 glitch is typically well under 0.1 nV-s. Such
low glitch energy provides more than 10X improvement over industry alternatives.
change the loop can generate. A DNL error less than
–1 LSB (non-monotonicity) can create loop instability.
A DNL error greater than +1 LSB implies unnecessarily large voltage steps and missed voltage targets.
With high DNL errors, the loop loses its stability,
resolution, and accuracy. Offering 12-bit ensured
monotonicity and ± 0.08 LSB typical DNL error, 755X
DACs are great choices for precision control loops.
Loop Speed:
The DAC7552 architecture is designed to minimize
channel-to-channel crosstalk. The voltage change in
one channel does not affect the voltage output in
another channel. The DC crosstalk is in the order of a
few microvolts. AC crosstalk is also less than –100
dBs. This provides orders of magnitude improvement
over certain competing architectures.
Many factors determine control loop speed. Typically,
the ADC's conversion time and the MCU's computation time are the two major factors that dominate
the time constant of the loop. DAC settling time is
rarely a dominant factor because ADC conversion
times usually exceed DAC conversion times. DAC
offset, gain, and linearity errors can slow the loop
down only during the start-up. Once the loop reaches
its steady-state operation, these errors do not affect
loop speed any further. Depending on the ringing
characteristics of the loop's transfer function, DAC
glitches can also slow the loop down. With its 1
MSPS (small-signal) maximum data update rate,
DAC7552 can support high-speed control loops.
Ultralow glitch energy of the DAC7552 significantly
improves loop stability and loop settling time.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Generating Industrial Voltage Ranges:
CHANNEL-TO-CHANNEL CROSSTALK
Waveform Generation
Due to its exceptional linearity, low glitch, and low
crosstalk, the DAC7552 is well suited for waveform
generation (from DC to 10 kHz). The DAC7552
large-signal settling time is 5 µs, supporting an
update rate of 200 KSPS. However, the update rates
can exceed 1 MSPS if the waveform to be generated
consists of small voltage steps between consecutive
DAC updates. To obtain a high dynamic range,
REF3140 (4.096 V) or REF02 (5 V) are recommended for reference voltage generation.
Generating ±5-V, ±10-V, and ± 12-V Outputs For
Precision Industrial Control
Industrial control applications can require multiple
feedback loops consisting of sensors, ADCs, MCUs,
DACs, and actuators. Loop accuracy and loop speed
are the two important parameters of such control
loops.
For control loop applications, DAC gain and offset
errors are not important parameters. This could be
exploited to lower trim and calibration costs in a
high-voltage control circuit design. Using an operational amplifier (OPA130), and a voltage reference
(REF3140), the DAC7552 can generate the wide
voltage swings required by the control loop.

Loop Accuracy:
The output voltage of the configuration is given by:
In a control loop, the ADC has to be accurate. Offset,
gain, and the integral linearity errors of the DAC are
not factors in determining the accuracy of the loop.
As long as a voltage exists in the transfer curve of a
monotonic DAC, the loop can find it and settle to it.
On the other hand, DAC resolution and differential
linearity do determine the loop accuracy, because
each DAC step determines the minimum incremental

errors are not an issue for loop accuracy because
offset and gain errors could be tolerated. One
DAC7552 channel can provide the Vtail voltage, while
the other DAC7552 channel can provide Vdac voltage
