The DAC8532 is a dual channel, 16-bit Digital-to-Analog
Converter (DAC) offering low power operation and a flexible
serial host interface. Each on-chip precision output amplifier
allows rail-to-rail output swing to be achieved over the supply
range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The device supports a standard 3-wire
serial interface capable of operating with input data clock
frequencies up to 30MHz for VDD = 5V.
The DAC8532 requires an external reference voltage to set
the output range of each DAC channel. Also incorporated
into the device is a power-on reset circuit which ensures that
the DAC outputs power up at zero-scale and remain there
until a valid write takes place. The DAC8532 provides a
flexible power-down feature, accessed over the serial interface, that reduces the current consumption of the device to
200nA at 5V.
The low-power consumption of this device in normal operation makes it ideally suited to portable battery-operated
equipment and other low-power applications. The power
consumption is 2.5mW at 5V, reducing to 1µW in powerdown mode.

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.
NOTE: (1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings”
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to absolute maximum
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

SYNC
Level triggered SYNC input (active LOW). This is the
frame synchronization signal for the input data.
When SYNC goes LOW, it enables the input shift
register and data is transferred on the falling edge of
SCLK. The action specified by the 8-bit control byte
and 16-bit data word is executed following the 24th
falling SCLK clock edge (unless SYNC is taken
HIGH before this edge in which case the rising edge
of SYNC acts as an interrupt and the write sequence
is ignored by the DAC8532).

SCLK
Serial Clock Input. Data can be transferred at rates
up to 30 MHz at 5V.

Serial Data Input. Data is clocked into the 24-bit
input shift register on each falling edge of the serial
clock input.

THEORY OF OPERATION
VREF
DAC SECTION
RDIVIDER
The architecture of each channel of the DAC8532 consists of
a resistor string DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier.
Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram of the DAC
architecture.

The input coding for each device is unipolar straight binary,
so the ideal output voltage is given by:
VOUT X = VREF •
R
D
65536
where D = decimal equivalent of the binary code that is
loaded to the DAC register; it can range from 0 to 65535.
VOUTX refers to channel A or B.
RESISTOR STRING
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 2. It is simply
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.
This voltage is then applied to the output amplifier by closing
one of the switches connecting the string to the amplifier.
OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
Each output buffer amplifier is capable of generating rail-torail voltages on its output which approaches an output range
of 0V to VDD (gain and offset errors must be taken into
account). Each buffer is capable of driving a load of 2kΩ in
parallel with 1000pF to GND. The source and sink capabilities of the output amplifier can be seen in the typical characteristics.
FIGURE 2. Resistor String.
The write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC line LOW.
Data from the DIN line is clocked into the 24-bit shift register
on each falling edge of SCLK. The serial clock frequency can
be as high as 30MHz, making the DAC8532 compatible with
high speed DSPs. On the 24th falling edge of the serial clock,
the last data bit is clocked into the shift register and the
programmed function is executed (i.e., a change in Data
Buffer contents, DAC Register contents, and/or a change in
the power-down mode of a specified channel or channels).
At this point, the SYNC line may be kept LOW or brought
HIGH. In either case, the minimum delay time from the 24th
falling SCLK edge to the next falling SYNC edge must be met
in order to properly begin the next cycle. To assure the
lowest power consumption of the device, care should be
taken that the digital input levels are as close to each rail as
possible. (Please refer to the “Typical Characteristics” section for the “Supply Current vs Logic Input Voltage” transfer
characteristic curve).
SERIAL INTERFACE
The DAC8532 uses a 3-wire serial interface (SYNC, SCLK,
and DIN), which is compatible with SPI™, QSPI™, and
Microwire™ interface standards, as well as most DSPs. See
the Serial Write Operation timing diagram for an example of
a typical write sequence.

INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The input shift register of the DAC8532 is 24 bits wide (see
Figure 5) and is made up of 8 control bits (DB16-DB23) and 16
data bits (DB0-DB15). The first two control bits (DB22 and
DB23) are reserved and must be “0” for proper operation. LD
A (DB20) and LD B (DB21) control the updating of each analog
output with the specified 16-bit data value or power-down
command. Bit DB19 is a “Don't Care” bit which does not affect
the operation of the DAC8532 and can be 1 or 0. The following
control bit, Buffer Select (DB18), controls the destination of the
data (or power-down command) between DAC A and DAC B.
The final two control bits, PD0 (DB16) and PD1 (DB17), select
the power-down mode of one or both of the DAC channels. The
four modes are normal mode or any one of three power-down
modes. A more complete description of the operational modes
of the DAC8532 can be found in the Power-Down Modes
section. The remaining sixteen bits of the 24-bit input word
make up the data bits. These are transferred to the specified
Data Buffer or DAC Register, depending on the command
issued by the control byte, on the 24th falling edge of SCLK.
Please refer to Tables II and III for more information.
are set to zero-scale; they remain there until a valid write
sequence and load command is made to the respective
DAC channel. This is useful in applications where it is
important to know the state of the output of each DAC
output while the device is in the process of powering up.
No device pin should be brought high before power is
applied to the device.
POWER-DOWN MODES
The DAC8532 utilizes four modes of operation. These modes
are accessed by setting two bits (PD1 and PD0) in the control
register and performing a “Load” action to one or both DACs.
Table I shows how the state of the bits correspond to the
mode of operation of each channel of the device. (Each DAC
channel can be powered down simultaneously or independently of each other. Power-down occurs after proper data is
written into PD0 and PD1 and a “Load” command occurs.)

FIGURE 3. Output Stage During Power-Down (High-Impedance)
SYNC INTERRUPT
In a normal write sequence, the SYNC line is kept LOW for
at least 24 falling edges of SCLK and the addressed DAC
register is updated on the 24th falling edge. However, if
SYNC is brought HIGH before the 24th falling edge, it acts as
an interrupt to the write sequence; the shift register is reset
and the write sequence is discarded. Neither an update of
the data buffer contents, DAC register contents or a change
in the operating mode occurs (see Figure 4).
POWER-ON RESET
The DAC8532 contains a power-on reset circuit that controls the output voltage during power-up. On power-up, the
DAC registers are filled with zeros and the output voltages
When both bits are set to 0, the device works normally with
a typical power consumption of 500µA at 5V. For the three
power-down modes, however, the supply current falls to
200nA at 5V (50nA at 3V). 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 it is in power-down mode. There are
three different options for power-down: The output is connected internally to GND through a 1kΩ resistor, a 100kΩ
resistor, or it is left open-circuited (High-Impedance). The
output stage is illustrated in Figure 3.
All analog circuitry is shut down when the power-down mode
is activated. Each DAC will exit power-down when PD0 and
PD1 are set to 0, new data is written to the Data Buffer, and
the DAC channel receives a “Load” command. The time to
exit power-down is typically 2.5µs for VDD = 5V and 5µs for
VDD = 3V (See the Typical Characteristics).

DAC8532 to 8051 INTERFACE
PC7
SYNC
Figure 6 shows a serial interface between the DAC8532 and
a typical 8051-type microcontroller. The setup for the interface is as follows: TXD of the 8051 drives SCLK of the
DAC8532, while RXD drives the serial data line of the device.
The SYNC signal is derived from a bit-programmable pin on
the port of the 8051. In this case, port line P3.3 is used. When
data is to be transmitted to the DAC8532, P3.3 is taken LOW.
The 8051 transmits data in 8-bit bytes; thus only eight falling
clock edges occur in the transmit cycle. To load data to the
DAC, P3.3 is left LOW after the first eight bits are transmitted,
then a second and third write cycle is initiated to transmit the
remaining data. P3.3 is taken HIGH following the completion
of the third write cycle. The 8051 outputs the serial data in a
format which presents the LSB first, while the DAC8532
requires its data with the MSB as the first bit received. The
8051 transmit routine must therefore take this into account,
and “mirror” the data as needed.

The 68HC11 should be configured so that its CPOL bit is 0
and its CPHA bit is 1. This configuration causes data appearing on the MOSI output to be valid on the falling edge of SCK.
When data is being transmitted to the DAC, the SYNC line is
held LOW (PC7). Serial data from the 68HC11 is transmitted
in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling clock edges occurring in
the transmit cycle. (Data is transmitted MSB first.) In order to
load data to the DAC8532, PC7 is left LOW after the first
eight bits are transferred, then a second and third serial write
operation is performed to the DAC. PC7 is taken HIGH at the
end of this procedure.

CURRENT CONSUMPTION
FIGURE 7. DAC8532 to Microwire Interface.
DAC8532 to 68HC11 INTERFACE
Figure 8 shows a serial interface between the DAC8532 and
the 68HC11 microcontroller. SCK of the 68HC11 drives the
SCLK of the DAC8532, while the MOSI output drives the
serial data line of the DAC. The SYNC signal is derived from
a port line (PC7), similar to the 8051 diagram.
The DAC8532 typically consumes 250uA at VDD = 5V and
225uA at VDD = 3V for each active channel, including reference current consumption. Additional current consumption
can occur at 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 200nA.
A delay time of 10 to 20ms after a power-down command is
issued to the DAC is typically sufficient for the power-down
current to drop below 10µA.

SBAS246A
DRIVING RESISTIVE AND CAPACITIVE LOADS
The DAC8532 output stage is capable of driving loads of up
to 1000pF while remaining stable. Within the offset and gain
error margins, the DAC8532 can operate rail-to-rail when
driving a capacitive load. Resistive loads of 2kΩ can be
driven by the DAC8532 while achieving a typical load regulation of 1%. As the load resistance drops below 2kΩ, the
load regulation error increases. 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
only occurs within approximately the top 20mV of the DAC’s
digital input-to-voltage output transfer characteristic. The
reference voltage applied to the DAC8532 may be reduced
below the supply voltage applied to VDD in order to eliminate
this condition if good linearity is a requirement at full scale
(under resistive loading conditions).
CROSSTALK AND AC PERFORMANCE
The DAC8532 architecture uses separate resistor strings for
each DAC channel in order to achieve ultra-low crosstalk
performance. DC crosstalk seen at one channel during a fullscale change on the neighboring channel is typically less than
0.5LSBs. The AC crosstalk measured (for a full-scale, 1kHz
sine wave output generated at one channel, and measured at
the remaining output channel) is typically under –100dB.
In addition, the DAC8532 can achieve typical AC performance of 96dB SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and 65db THD
(Total Harmonic Distortion), making the DAC8532 a solid
choice for applications requiring low SNR at output frequencies at or below 4kHz.
For full-scale output swings, the output stage of each
DAC8532 channel typically exhibits less than 100mV of
overshoot and undershoot when driving a 200pF capacitive
load. Code-to-code change glitches are extremely low
(~10uV) given that the code-to-code transition does not
cross an Nx4096 code boundary. Due to internal segmentation of the DAC8532, code-to-code glitches occur at each
crossing of an Nx4096 code boundary. These glitches can
approach 100mVs for N = 15, but settle out within ~2µs.
USING REF02 AS A POWER SUPPLY FOR DAC8532
Due to the extremely low supply current required by the
DAC8532, a possible configuration is to use a REF02 +5V
precision voltage reference to supply the required voltage to
the DAC8532's supply input as well as the reference input, as
shown in Figure 10. This is especially useful if the power
supply is quite noisy or if the system supply voltages are at
some value other than 5V. The REF02 will output a steady
supply voltage for the DAC8532. If the REF02 is used, the
current it needs to supply to the DAC8532 is 567µA typical
and 890µA max for VDD = 5V. When a DAC output is loaded,
the REF02 also needs to supply the current to the load. The
total typical current required (with a 5kΩ load on a given DAC
output) is:
567µA + (5V/ 5kΩ) = 1.567mA
+15
+5V
REF02
1.567mA
OUTPUT VOLTAGE STABILITY
The DAC8532 exhibits excellent temperature stability of
5ppm/°C typical output voltage drift over the specified temperature range of the device. This enables the output voltage
of each channel to stay within a ±25µV window for a ±1°C
ambient temperature change.
Good Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) performance
reduces supply noise present on VDD from appearing at the
outputs to well below 10µV-s. Combined with good DC noise
performance and true 16-bit differential linearity, the DAC8532
becomes a perfect choice for closed-loop control applications.
SETTLING TIME AND OUTPUT
GLITCH PERFORMANCE
Settling time to within the 16-bit accurate range of the
DAC8532 is achievable within 10µs for a full-scale code
change at the input. Worst case settling times between
consecutive code changes is typically less than 2µs, enabling update rates up to 500ksps for digital input signals
changing code-to-code. The high-speed serial interface of
the DAC8532 is designed in order to support these high
update rates.

The load regulation of the REF02 is typically 0.005%/mA,

drawn from it. This corresponds to a 5.13LSB error for a 0V
to 5V output range.
BIPOLAR OPERATION USING THE DAC8532
The DAC8532 has been designed for single-supply operation but a bipolar output range is also possible using the
circuit in Figure 11. The circuit shown will give an output
voltage range of ±VREF. Rail-to-rail operation at the amplifier
output is achievable using an amplifier such as the OPA703,

range can be achieved.
LAYOUT
A precision analog component requires careful layout, adequate bypassing, and clean, well-regulated power supplies.
The DAC8532 offers single-supply operation, and it will often
be used in close proximity with digital logic, microcontrollers,
microprocessors, and digital signal processors. The more
digital logic present in the design and the higher the switching speed, the more difficult it will be to keep digital noise
from appearing at the output.
Due to the single ground pin of the DAC8532, all return
currents, including digital and analog return currents for the
DAC, must flow through a single point. Ideally, GND would
be connected directly to an analog ground plane. This plane
would be separate from the ground connection for the digital
components until they were connected at the power entry
point of the system.
The power applied to VDD should be well regulated and low
noise. Switching power supplies and DC/DC converters will
often have 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
positive 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, a 1µF to 10µF capacitor in
parallel with a 0.1µF bypass capacitor is strongly recommended. In some situations, additional bypassing may be
required, such as a 100µF electrolytic capacitor or even a
“Pi” filter made up of inductors and capacitors—all designed
to essentially low-pass filter the supply, removing the highfrequency noise.
