SP9604DS/03 SP9604 Quad, 12-Bit, Low Power Voltage Output D/A Converter 4 © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation FEATURES The SP9604 is a low–power replacement for the popular SP9345, Quad 12-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converter. This Quad, Voltage Output, 12-Bit Digital-toAnalog Converter features ±4.5V output swings when using ±5 volt supplies. The input coding format used is standard offset binary. (Please refer to Table 1.) using the CS signal in both modes. The digital inputs are designed to be both TTL and 5V CMOS compatible. In order to reduce the DAC full scale output sensitivity to the large weighting of the MSB’s found in conventional R-2R resistor ladders, the 3 MSB’s are decoded into 8 equally weighted levels. This reduces the contribution of each bit by a factor of 4, thus, reducing the output sensitivity to mis–matches in resistors and switches by the same amount. Linearity errors and stability are both improved for the same reasons. The converter utilizes double-buffering on each of the 12 parallel digital inputs, for easy microprocessor interface. Each 12-bit DAC is independently addressable and all DACs may be simultaneously updated using a single XFER command. The output settlingtime is specified at 30µs to full 12–bit accuracy when driving a 5Kohm, 50pf load combination. The SP9604, Quad 12-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converter is ideally suited for applications such as ATE, process controllers,robotics,andinstrumentation. TheSP9604 is available in 28–pin plastic DIP or SOIC packages, specified over the commercial (0°C to +70°C) temperature range. Each D/A converter is separated from the data bus by two registers, each consisting of level-triggered latches, Figure 1. The first register (input register) is 12-bits wide. The input register is selected by the address input A0 and A1 and is enabled by the CS and WR1 signals. In the 8-bit mode, the enable signal to the 8 MSB’s is disabled by a logic low on B1/B2 to allow the 4 LSB’s to be updated. The second register (DAC register), accepts the decoded 3 MSB’s plus the 9 LSB’s. The four DAC registers are updated simultaneously for all DAC’s using the XFER and WR2 signals. Using the CLR and WR2 signals or the power-on-reset, (enabled when the power is switched on) the DAC registers are set to 1000 0000 0000 and the DAC outputs will settle to 0V. THEORY OF OPERATION The SP9604 consists of five main functional blocks — input data multiplexer, data registers, control logic, four 12-bit D/A converters, and four bipolar output voltage amplifiers. The input data multiplexer is designed to interface to either 12- or 8-bit microprocessor data busses. The input data format is controlled by the B1/B2 signal — a logic “1” selects the 12-bit mode, while a logic “0” selects the 8-bit mode. In the 12-bit mode the data is transferred to the input registers without changes in its format. In the 8-bit mode, the four least significant bits (LSBs) are connected to the four most significant bits (MSBs), allowing an 8-bit MSB-justified interface. All data inputs are enabled INPUT MSB Using the control logic inputs, the user has full control of address decoding, chip enable, data transfer and clearing of the DAC’s. The control logic inputs are level triggered, and like the data inputs, are TTL and CMOS compatible. The truth table (Table 2) shows the appropriate functions associated with the states of the control logic inputs. The DACs themselves are implemented with a precision thin–film resistor network and CMOS transmission gate switches. Each D/A converter is used to convert the 12–bit input from its DAC register to a precision voltage.

Detailed Block Diagram (only one DAC shown) USING THE SP9604 WITH DOUBLE-BUFFERED INPUTS Loading Data To load a 12-bit word to the input register of each DAC, using a 12-bit data bus, the sequence is as follows: To load a 12-bit word to the input register of each DAC, using an 8-bit data bus, the sequence is as follows: 1) Set XFER=1, B1/B2=1, CLR=1, WR1=1, WR2=1, CS=1. 2) Set D11 through D4 to the 8 MSB’s of the desired digital input code. 3) Load the 8 MSB’s of the digital word to the selected input register by cycling WR1 and CS through the “1” — “0” — “1” sequence. 4) Reset B1/B2 from “1” —— “0” 5) Set D11 (MSB) through D8 to the 4 LSB’s of the digital input code. 6) Load the 4 LSB’s by cycling WR1 and CS through the “1” — “0” — “1” sequence. 7) Repeat sequence for each input register. 1) Set XFER=1, B1/B2=1, CLR=1, WR1=1, WR2=1, CS=1. 2) Set A1 and A0 (the DAC address) to the desired DAC — 0,0 = DAC1; 0,1 = DAC2 1,0 = DAC3; 1,1 = DAC4 . 3) Set D11 (MSB) through D0 (LSB) to the desired digital input code. 4) Load the word to the selected DAC by cycling WR1 and CS through the following sequence: “1” — “0” — “1” 5) Repeat sequence for each input register.

Transfer Function TRANSFERRING DATA To transfer the four 12-bit words in the four input registers to the four DAC registers: bringing WR1 low will transfer the data to the addressed DAC. The user should be sure to bring WR1 high again so that the next selected DAC will not be overwritten by the last digital code. This mode of operation may be useful in applications where preloading of the input registers is not necessary, Figure 3a. 1) Set CLR=1, CS=1, WR1=1. 2) Cycle WR2 and XFER through the “1” — “0” — “1” sequence. To set the outputs of the four DAC’s to 0V, cycle WR2 and CLR through the “1” — “0” — “1” sequence, while keeping XFER=1. A fully transparent mode is realized by tying WR1, CS, WR2, and XFER all low. In this mode, anything that is written on the 12-bit data bus will be passed directly to the selected DAC. Since both latches are not being used, the previous digital word will be overwritten by the new data as soon as the address changes. This may be useful should the user want to calibrate a circuit, by taking full scale or zero scale readings for all four DAC’s, Figure 3b. One Latch, or No Latches The latches that form the registers can be used in a “semi-” transparent mode, and a “fully-” transparent mode. In order to use the SP9604 in either mode the user must be interfaced to a 12-bit bus only (B1=1). The semi-transparent mode is set up such that the second set of latches is transparent and the first set is used to latch the incoming data. Data is latched into the first set rather than the second set, in order to minimize glitch energy induced from the data formatting. In this mode, XFER, WR2 and CS are tied low, and WR1 is used to strobe the data to the addressed DAC. Each DAC is addressed using the address lines A0 and A1. After the appropriate DAC has been selected and the data is settled at the digital inputs, SP9604DS/03 Zeroing DAC Outputs While keeping XFER pin high, the DAC outputs can be set to zero volts two different ways. The first involves the CLR and WR2 pins. In normal operation, the CLR pin is tied high, thus, disabling the clear function. By cycling WR2 and CLR through "1"—"0"—"1" sequence, a digital code of 1000 0000 0000 is written to all four DAC registers, producing a half scale output or zero volts. The second utilizes the built in power- SP9604 Quad, 12-Bit, Low Power Voltage Output D/A Converter 7 © Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation Temporarily forcing all DAC outputs to 0V Set WR1=1, CS=1, WR2=0, XFER=0. The DAC registers can be temporarily forced to 1000 0000 0000 by bringing the CLR pin low. This will force the DAC outputs to 0V, while the CLR pin remains low. When the CLR pin is brought back high, the digital code at the DAC registers will again appear at the DAC's digital inputs, and the analog outputs will return to their previous values. on-reset. Using this feature, the SP9604 can be configured such that during power-up, the second register will be digitally “zeroed”, producing a zero volt output at each of the four DAC outputs. This is achieved by powering the unit up with XFER in a high state. Thus, with no external circuitry, the SP9604 can be powered up with the analog outputs at a known, zero volt output level. +3V Reference GND +5V –5V +3V Reference GND +5V –5V VOUT3 VOUT3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 VOUT4 VOUT1 VOUT4 VSS VDD CLR REF IN GND B1/B2 A0 A1 XFER WR2 WR1 CS VOUT1 VOUT3 DB0 DB1 DB2 DB3 DB4 DB5 SP9604 DB6 DB7 DB8 DB9 DB10 (MSB) DB11 VOUT2 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 VOUT4 12–Bit Data Bus VOUT1 VOUT4 VSS VDD CLR REF IN GND B1/B2 A0 A1 XFER WR2 WR1 CS VOUT1 VOUT3 DB0 DB1 DB2 DB3 DB4 DB5 SP9604 DB6 DB7 DB8 DB9 DB10 (MSB) DB11 VOUT2 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 12–Bit Data Bus VOUT2 VOUT2 DAC Strobe Address Decode & Control Address Decode & Control (a) (b) Figure 3.
