description
The TLC5615 is a 10-bit voltage output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a buffered reference input (high
impedance). The DAC has an output voltage range that is two times the reference voltage, and the DAC is
monotonic. The device is simple to use, running from a single supply of 5 V. A power-on-reset function is
incorporated to ensure repeatable start-up conditions.
Digital control of the TLC5615 is over a three-wire serial bus that is CMOS compatible and easily interfaced to
industry standard microprocessor and microcontroller devices. The device receives a 16-bit data word to
produce the analog output. The digital inputs feature Schmitt triggers for high noise immunity. Digital
communication protocols include the SPI, QSPI, and Microwire standards.
The 8-terminal small-outline D package allows digital control of analog functions in space-critical applications.
The TLC5615C is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The TLC5615I is characterized for operation
from – 40°C to 85°C.

NOTES: 1. The relative accuracy or integral nonlinearity (INL), sometimes referred to as linearity error, 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 (see text).
2. The differential nonlinearity (DNL), sometimes referred to as differential error, 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 (see text).
4. Zero-scale-error temperature coefficient is given by: EZS TC = [EZS (Tmax) – EZS (Tmin)]/Vref × 106/(Tmax – Tmin).
5. Gain error is the deviation from the ideal output (Vref – 1 LSB) with an output load of 10 kΩ excluding the effects of the zero-scale
error.
6. Gain temperature coefficient is given by: EG TC = [EG(Tmax) – EG (Tmin)]/Vref × 106/(Tmax – Tmin).
7. Zero-scale-error rejection ratio (EZS-RR) is measured by varying the VDD from 4.5 V to 5.5 V dc and measuring the proportion of
this signal imposed on the zero-code output voltage.
8. Gain-error rejection ratio (EG-RR) is measured by varying the VDD from 4.5 V to 5.5 V dc and measuring the proportion of this signal
imposed on the full-scale output voltage after subtracting the zero-scale change.

general function
The TLC5615 uses a resistor string network buffered with an op amp in a fixed gain of 2 to convert 10-bit digital
data to analog voltage levels (see functional block diagram and Figure 9). The output of the TLC5615 is the
same polarity as the reference input (see Table 1).
An internal circuit resets the DAC register to all zeros on power up.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
buffer amplifier
The output buffer has a rail-to-rail output with short circuit protection and can drive a 2-kΩ load with a 100-pF
load capacitance. Settling time is 12.5 µs typical to within 0.5 LSB of final value.
external reference
The reference voltage input is buffered, which makes the DAC input resistance not code dependent. Therefore,
the REFIN input resistance is 10 MΩ and the REFIN input capacitance is typically 5 pF independent of input
code. The reference voltage determines the DAC full-scale output.
logic interface
The logic inputs function with either TTL or CMOS logic levels. However, using rail-to-rail CMOS logic achieves
the lowest power dissipation. The power requirement increases by approximately 2 times when using TTL logic
levels.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
serial interface
When chip select (CS) is low, the input data is read into a 16-bit shift register with the input data clocked in most
significant bit first. The rising edge of the SLCK input shifts the data into the input register.
The rising edge of CS then transfers the data to the DAC register. When CS is high, input data cannot be clocked
into the input register. All CS transitions should occur when the SCLK input is low.
If the daisy chain (cascading) function (see daisy-chaining devices section) is not used, a 12-bit input data
sequence with the MSB first can be used as shown in Figure 10:

Figure 11. 16-Bit Input Data Sequence
The data from DOUT requires 16 falling edges of the input clock and, therefore, requires an extra clock width.
When daisy chaining multiple TLC5615 devices, the data requires 4 upper dummy bits because the data
transfer requires 16 input-clock cycles plus one additional input-clock falling edge to clock out the data at the
DOUT terminal (see Figure 1).
The two extra (sub-LSB) bits are always required to provide hardware and software compatibility with 12-bit data
converter transfers.
The TLC5615 three-wire interface is compatible with the SPI, QSPI†, and Microwire serial standards. The
hardware connections are shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13.
The SPI and Microwire interfaces transfer data in 8-bit bytes, therefore, two write cycles are required to input
data to the DAC. The QSPI interface, which has a variable input data length from 8 to 16 bits, can load the DAC
input register in one write cycle.

daisy-chaining devices
DACs can be daisy-chained by connecting the DOUT terminal of one device to the DIN of the next device in
the chain, providing that the setup time, tsu(CSS), (CS low to SCLK high) is greater than the sum of the setup
time, tsu(DS), plus the propagation delay time, tpd(DOUT), for proper timing (see digital input timing requirements
section). The data at DIN appears at DOUT, delayed by 16 clock cycles plus one clock width. DOUT is a
totem-poled output for low power. DOUT changes on the SCLK falling edge when CS is low. When CS is high,
DOUT remains at the value of the last data bit and does not go into a high-impedance state.
linearity, offset, and gain error using single ended supplies
When an amplifier is operated from a single supply, the voltage offset can still be either positive or negative. With
a positive offset, 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 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 then 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 14.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
linearity, offset, and gain error using single ended supplies (continued)
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 the ground rail.
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. For the
TLC5615, the zero-scale (offset) error is plus or minus 3 LSB maximum. The code is calculated from the
maximum specification for the negative offset.
power-supply bypassing and ground management
Printed-circuit boards that use separate analog and digital ground planes offer the best system performance.
Wire-wrap boards do not perform well and should not be used. The two ground planes should be connected
together at the low-impedance power-supply source. The best ground connection may be achieved by
connecting the DAC AGND terminal to the system analog ground plane making sure that analog ground
currents are well managed and there are negligible voltage drops across the ground plane.
A 0.1-µF ceramic-capacitor bypass should be connected between VDD and AGND and mounted with short leads
as close as possible to the device. Use of ferrite beads may further isolate the system analog supply from the
digital power supply.
Figure 15 shows the ground plane layout and bypassing technique.

saving power
Setting the DAC register to all 0s minimizes power consumption by the reference resistor array and the output
load when the system is not using the DAC.
ac considerations
digital feedthrough
Even with CS high, high-speed serial data at any of the digital input or output terminals may couple through the
DAC package internal stray capacitance and appear at the DAC analog output as digital feedthrough. Digital
feedthrough is tested by holding CS high and transmitting 0101010101 from DIN to DOUT.
analog feedthrough
Higher frequency analog input signals may couple to the output through internal stray capacitance. Analog
feedthrough is tested by holding CS high, setting the DAC code to all 0s, sweeping the frequency applied to
REFIN, and monitoring the DAC output.
