The DACs produce an output voltage that ranges between either one or two times the reference voltages and GND; and, the DACs are monotonic. The device is simple to use, because it runs from a single supply of 3 V to 3.6 V. A power-on reset function is incorporated to ensure repeatable start-up conditions. Digital control of the TLV5620C and TLV5620I is over a simple three-wire serial bus that is CMOS compatible and easily interfaced to all popular microprocessor and microcontroller devices. The 11-bit command word comprises eight bits of data, two DAC select bits, and a range bit, the latter allowing selection between the times 1 or times 2 output range. The DAC registers are double buffered, allowing a complete set of new values to be written to the device, then all DAC outputs update simultaneously through control of LDAC. The digital inputs feature Schmitt triggers for high noise immunity. The 14-terminal small-outline (SO) package allows digital control of analog functions in space-critical applications. The TLV5620C is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The TLV5620I is characterized for operation from – 40°C to 85°C. The TLV5620C and TLV5620I do not require external trimming.

The core of each DAC is a single resistor with 256 taps, corresponding to the 256 possible codes listed in Table 1. One end of each resistor string is connected to GND and the other end is fed from the output of the reference input buffer. Monotonicity is maintained by use of the resistor strings. Linearity depends upon the matching of the resistor segments and upon the performance of the output buffer. Since the inputs are buffered, the DACs always presents a high-impedance load to the reference source. Each DAC output is buffered by a configurable-gain output amplifier, which can be programmed to times 1 or times 2 gain. On power up, the DACs are reset to CODE 0. Each output voltage is given by: V (DACA|B|C|D) O + REF CODE 256 (1 ) RNG bit value) where CODE is in the range 0 to 255 and the range (RNG) bit is a 0 or 1 within the serial control word. Table 1.

Once all data bits have been clocked in, LOAD is pulsed low to transfer the data from the serial input register to the selected DAC as shown in Figure 1. When LDAC is low, the selected DAC output voltage is updated when LOAD goes low. When LDAC is high during serial programming, the new value is stored within the device and can be transferred to the DAC output at a later time by pulsing LDAC low as shown in Figure 2. Data is entered MSB first. Data transfers using two 8-clock-cycle periods are shown in Figures 3 and 4. Table 2 lists the A1 and A0 bits and the selection of the updated DACs. The RNG bit controls the DAC output range. When RNG = low, the output range is between the applied reference voltage and GND, and when RNG = high, the range is between twice the applied reference voltage and GND. Table 2.

With a positive offset voltage, the output voltage changes on the first code change. With a negative offset the output voltage may not change with the first code depending on the magnitude of the offset voltage. The output amplifier, therefore, attempts to drive the output to a negative voltage. However, because the most negative supply rail is ground, the output cannot drive below ground and clamps the output at 0 V. The output voltage remains at zero until the input code value produces a sufficient positive output voltage to overcome the negative offset voltage, resulting in the transfer function shown in Figure 5. Output Voltage 0V DAC Code Negative Offset Figure 5. Effect of Negative Offset (Single Supply) This offset error, not the linearity error, produces this breakpoint. The transfer function would have followed the dotted line if the output buffer could drive below ground. For a DAC, linearity is measured between zero-input code (all inputs 0) and full-scale code (all inputs 1) after offset and full scale are adjusted out or accounted for in some way. However, single-supply operation does not allow for adjustment when the offset is negative due to the breakpoint in the transfer function. So the linearity is measured between full-scale code and the lowest code that produces a positive output voltage. The code is calculated from the maximum specification for the negative offset. 6 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TLV5620C, TLV5620I QUADRUPLE 8-BIT DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTERS SLAS110B – JANUARY 1995 – REVISED APRIL 1997 equivalent inputs and outputs INPUT CIRCUIT OUTPUT CIRCUIT VDD VDD Input from Decoded DAC Register String Vref Input _ + DAC Voltage Output ×1 84 kΩ Output Range × 2 Select To DAC Resistor String ISINK 60 µA Typical 84 kΩ GND GND absolute maximum ratings over operating free-air temperature range (unless otherwise noted)† Supply voltage (VDD – GND) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 V Digital input voltage range . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Integral nonlinearity (INL) is the maximum deviation of the output from the line between zero and full scale (excluding the effects of zero code and full-scale errors). 2. Differential nonlinearity (DNL) is the difference between the measured and ideal 1 LSB amplitude change of any two adjacent codes. Monotonic means the output voltage changes in the same direction (or remains constant) as a change in the digital input code. 3. Zero-scale error is the deviation from zero voltage output when the digital input code is zero. 4. Zero-scale error temperature coefficient is given by: ZSETC = [ZSE(Tmax) – ZSE(Tmin)]/Vref × 106/(Tmax – Tmin). 5. Full-scale error is the deviation from the ideal full-scale output (Vref – 1 LSB) with an output load of 10 kΩ. 6. Full-scale error temperature coefficient is given by: FSETC = [FSE(Tmax) – FSE (Tmin)]/Vref × 106/(Tmax – Tmin). 7. Zero-scale error rejection ratio (ZSE-RR) is measured by varying the VDD voltage from 4.5 V to 5.5 V dc and measuring the effect of this signal on the zero-code output voltage. 8. Full-scale error rejection ratio (FSE-RR) is measured by varing the VDD voltage from 3 V to 3.6 V dc and measuring the effect of this signal on the full-scale output voltage. operating characteristics over recommended operating free-air temperature range, VDD = 3 V to 3.6 V, Vref = 2 V, × 1 gain output range (unless otherwise noted) TEST CONDITIONS Output slew rate CL = 100 pF RL = 10 kΩ Output settling time To ± 0.5 LSB, CL = 100 pF, Large-signal bandwidth Digital crosstalk MIN TYP MAX UNIT 1 V/µs 10 µs Measured at – 3 dB point 100 kHz CLK = 1-MHz square wave measured at DACA-DACD – 50 dB Reference feedthrough See Note 10 – 60 dB Channel-to-channel isolation See Note 11 – 60 dB Reference input bandwidth See Note 12 100 kHz RL = 10 kΩ, See Note 9 NOTES: 9.

Channel-to-channel isolation is measured by setting the input code of one DAC to FF hex and the code of all other DACs to 00 hex with Vref input = 1 V dc + 1 VPP at 10 kHz. 12.
