FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
•
The DAC121C081 is a 12-bit, single channel, voltageoutput digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that operates
from a +2.7V to 5.5V supply. The output amplifier
allows rail-to-rail output swing and has an 8.5µsec
settling time. The DAC121C081 uses the supply
voltage as the reference to provide the widest
dynamic output range and typically consumes 132µA
while operating at 5.0V. It is available in 6-lead SOT
and WSON packages and provides three address
options (pin selectable).

– Normal: 380 µW (3V) / 730 µW (5V) typ
– Power Down: 0.5 µW (3V) / 0.9 µW (5V) typ
As an alternative, the DAC121C085 provides nine I2C
addressing options and uses an external reference. It
has the same performance and settling time as the
DAC121C081. It is available in an 8-lead VSSOP.
The DAC121C081 and DAC121C085 use a 2-wire,
I2C-compatible serial interface that operates in all
three speed modes, including high speed mode
(3.4MHz). An external address selection pin allows up
to three DAC121C081 or nine DAC121C085 devices
per 2-wire bus. Pin compatible alternatives to the
DAC121C081 are available that provide additional
address options.
The DAC121C081 and DAC121C085 each have a
16-bit register that controls the mode of operation, the
power-down condition, and the output voltage. A
power-on reset circuit ensures that the DAC output
powers up to zero volts. A power-down feature
reduces power consumption to less than a microWatt.
Their low power consumption and small packages
make these DACs an excellent choice for use in
battery operated equipment. Each DAC operates over
the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C
to +125°C.
The DAC121C081 and DAC121C085 are each part of
a family of pin compatible DACs that also provide 8
and 10 bit resolution. For 8-bit DACs see the
DAC081C081 and DAC081C085. For 10-bit DACs
see the DAC101C081 and DAC101C085.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics. The ensured specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may
degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. Operation of the device beyond the maximum Operating
Ratings is not recommended.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
When the input voltage at any pin exceeds 5.5V or is less than GND, the current at that pin should be limited to 10 mA. The 20 mA
maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 10
mA to two.
The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150°C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by
TJmax, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula
PDMAX = (TJmax − TA) / θJA. The values for maximum power dissipation will be reached only when the device is operated in a severe
fault condition (e.g., when input or output pins are driven beyond the operating ratings, or the power supply polarity is reversed).
Human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is a 220 pF capacitor discharged
through 0 Ω. Charge device model simulates a pin slowly acquiring charge (such as from a device sliding down the feeder in an
automated assembler) then rapidly being discharged.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics. The ensured specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may
degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. Operation of the device beyond the maximum Operating
Ratings is not recommended.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
The inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes up to 5.5V, regardless of VA, will not cause errors in the conversion
result. For example, if VA is 3V, the digital input pins can be driven with a 5V logic device.

Specification Definitions
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1
LSB, which is VREF / 4096 = VA / 4096.
DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH is a measure of the energy injected into the analog output of the DAC from the digital
inputs when the DAC output is not updated. It is measured with a full-scale code change on the data bus.
FULL-SCALE ERROR is the difference between the actual output voltage with a full scale code (FFFh) loaded
into the DAC and the value of VA x 4095 / 4096.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the transfer function. It can be calculated from Zero and
Full-Scale Errors as GE = FSE - ZE, where GE is Gain error, FSE is Full-Scale Error and ZE is Zero Error.
GLITCH IMPULSE is the energy injected into the analog output when the input code to the DAC register
changes. It is specified as the area of the glitch in nanovolt-seconds.
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a straight line
through the input to output transfer function. The deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured
from the center of that code value. The end point method is used. INL for this product is specified over a limited
range, per the Electrical Characteristics.
LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT (LSB) is the bit that has the smallest value or weight of all bits in a word. This value is
LSB = VREF / 2n
(1)
where VREF is the supply voltage for this product, and "n" is the DAC resolution in bits, which is 12 for the
DAC121C081.
MAXIMUM LOAD CAPACITANCE is the maximum capacitance that can be driven by the DAC with output
stability maintained.
MONOTONICITY is the condition of being monotonic, where the DAC has an output that never decreases when
the input code increases.
MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT (MSB) is the bit that has the largest value or weight of all bits in a word. Its value is
1/2 of VA.
MULTIPLYING BANDWIDTH is the frequency at which the output amplitude falls 3dB below the input sine wave
on VREFIN with a full-scale code loaded into the DAC.
POWER EFFICIENCY is the ratio of the output current to the total supply current. The output current comes from
the power supply. The difference between the supply and output currents is the power consumed by the device
without a load.
SETTLING TIME is the time for the output to settle to within 1/2 LSB of the final value after the input code is
updated.
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) is the measure of the harmonics present at the output of the DACs
with an ideal sine wave applied to VREFIN. THD is measured in dB.
WAKE-UP TIME is the time for the output to exit power-down mode. This time is measured from the rising edge
of SCL during the ACK bit of the lower data byte to the time the output voltage deviates from the power-down
voltage of 0V.
ZERO CODE ERROR is the output error, or voltage, present at the DAC output after a code of 000h has been
entered.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
DAC SECTION
The DAC121C081 is fabricated on a CMOS process with an architecture that consists of switches and resistor
strings that are followed by an output buffer.
For simplicity, a single resistor string is shown in Figure 20. This string consists of 4096 equal valued resistors
with a switch at each junction of two resistors, plus a switch to ground. The code loaded into the DAC register
determines which switch is closed, connecting the proper node to the amplifier. The input coding is straight
binary with an ideal output voltage of:
VOUT = VREF x (D / 4096)
(2)
where D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded into the DAC register. D can take on any
integer value between 0 and 4095. This configuration ensures that the DAC is monotonic.

OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
The output amplifier is rail-to-rail, providing an output voltage range of 0V to VA when the reference is VA. All
amplifiers, even rail-to-rail types, exhibit a loss of linearity as the output approaches the supply rails (0V and VA,
in this case). For this reason, linearity is specified over less than the full output range of the DAC. However, if the
reference is less than VA, there is only a loss in linearity in the lowest codes. The output capabilities of the
amplifier are described in the Electrical Characteristics.
The output amplifiers are capable of driving a load of 2 kΩ in parallel with 1500 pF to ground or to VA. The zerocode and full-scale outputs for given load currents are available in the Electrical Characteristics.
REFERENCE VOLTAGE
The DAC121C081 uses the supply (VA) as the reference. With that said, VA must be treated as a reference. The
Analog output will only be as clean as the reference (VA). It is recommended that the reference be driven by a
voltage source with low output impedance.

SNAS395D – DECEMBER 2007 – REVISED MARCH 2013

The DAC121C085 comes with an external reference supply pin (VREF). For the DAC121C085, it is important that
VREF be kept as clean as possible.
The Applications Information section describes a handful of ways to drive the reference appropriately. Refer to
the USING REFERENCES AS POWER SUPPLIES section for details.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The I2C-compatible interface operates in all three speed modes. Standard mode (100kHz) and Fast mode
(400kHz) are functionally the same and will be referred to as Standard-Fast mode in this document. High-Speed
mode (3.4MHz) is an extension of Standard-Fast mode and will be referred to as Hs-mode in this document. The
following diagrams describe the timing relationships of the clock (SCL) and data (SDA) signals. Pull-up resistors
or current sources are required on the SCL and SDA busses to pull them high when they are not being driven
low. A logic zero is transmitted by driving the output low. A logic high is transmitted by releasing the output and
allowing it to be pulled-up externally. The appropriate pull-up resistor values will depend upon the total bus
capacitance and operating speed.
Basic I2C Protocol
The I2C interface is bi-directional and allows multiple devices to operate on the same bus. To facilitate this bus
configuration, each device has a unique hardware address which is referred to as the "slave address." To
communicate with a particular device on the bus, the controller (master) sends the slave address and listens for
a response from the slave. This response is referred to as an acknowledge bit. If a slave on the bus is addressed
correctly, it Acknowledges (ACKs) the master by driving the SDA bus low. If the address doesn't match a
device's slave address, it Not-acknowledges (NACKs) the master by letting SDA be pulled high. ACKs also occur
on the bus when data is being transmitted. When the master is writing data, the slave ACKs after every data byte
is successfully received. When the master is reading data, the master ACKs after every data byte is received to
let the slave know it wants to receive another data byte. When the master wants to stop reading, it NACKs after
the last data byte and creates a Stop condition on the bus.
All communication on the bus begins with either a Start condition or a Repeated Start condition. The protocol for
starting the bus varies between Standard-Fast mode and Hs-mode. In Standard-Fast mode, the master
generates a Start condition by driving SDA from high to low while SCL is high. In Hs-mode, starting the bus is
more complicated. Please refer to the High-Speed (Hs) Mode section for the full details of a Hs-mode Start
condition. A Repeated Start is generated to either address a different device, or switch between read and write
modes. The master generates a Repeated Start condition by driving SDA low while SCL is high. Following the
Repeated Start, the master sends out the slave address and a read/write bit as shown in Figure 21. The bus
continues to operate in the same speed mode as before the Repeated Start condition.
All communication on the bus ends with a Stop condition. In either Standard-Fast mode or Hs-Mode, a Stop
condition occurs when SDA is pulled from low to high while SCL is high. After a Stop condition, the bus remains
idle until a master generates a Start condition.
Please refer to the Phillips I2C® Specification (Version 2.1 Jan, 2000) for a detailed description of the serial
interface.

SNAS395D – DECEMBER 2007 – REVISED MARCH 2013
Standard-Fast Mode
In Standard-Fast mode, the master generates a start condition by driving SDA from high to low while SCL is
high. The Start condition is always followed by a 7-bit slave address and a Read/Write bit. After these eight bits
have been transmitted by the master, SDA is released by the master and the DAC121C081 either ACKs or
NACKs the address. If the slave address matches, the DAC121C081 ACKs the master. If the address doesn't
match, the DAC121C081 NACKs the master.
For a write operation, the master follows the ACK by sending the upper eight data bits to the DAC121C081.
Then the DAC121C081 ACKs the transfer by driving SDA low. Next, the lower eight data bits are sent by the
master. The DAC121C081 then ACKs the transfer. At this point, the DAC output updates to reflect the contents
of the 16-bit DAC register. Next, the master either sends another pair of data bytes, generates a Stop condition
to end communication, or generates a Repeated Start condition to communicate with another device on the bus.
For a read operation, the DAC121C081 sends out the upper eight data bits of the DAC register. This is followed
by an ACK by the master. Next, the lower eight data bits of the DAC register are sent to the master. The master
then produces a NACK by letting SDA be pulled high. The NACK is followed by a master-generated Stop
condition to end communication on the bus, or a Repeated Start to communicate with another device on the bus.
High-Speed (Hs) Mode
For Hs-mode, the sequence of events to begin communication differ slightly from Standard-Fast mode. Figure 22
describes this in further detail. Initially, the bus begins running in Standard-Fast mode. The master generates a
Start condition and sends the 8-bit Hs master code (00001XXX) to the DAC121C081. Next, the DAC121C081
responds with a NACK. Once the SCL line has been pulled to a high level, the master switches to Hs-mode by
increasing the bus speed and generating a Repeated Start condition (driving SDA low while SCL is pulled high).
At this point, the master sends the slave address to the DAC121C081, and communication continues as shown
above in the "Basic Operation" Diagram (see Figure 21).
When the master generates a Repeated Start condition while in Hs-mode, the bus stays in Hs-mode awaiting the
slave address from the master. The bus continues to run in Hs-mode until a Stop condition is generated by the
master. When the master generates a Stop condition on the bus, the bus must be started in Standard-Fast mode
again before increasing the bus speed and switching to Hs-mode. ns16705

I2C Slave (Hardware) Address
The DAC has a seven-bit I2C slave address. For the VSSOP version of the DAC, this address is configured by
the ADR0 and ADR1 address selection inputs. For the DAC121C081, the address is configured by the ADR0
address selection input. ADR0 and ADR1 can be grounded, left floating, or tied to VA. If desired, the address
selection inputs can be set to VA/2 rather than left floating. The state of these inputs sets the address the DAC
responds to on the I2C bus (see Table 1). In addition to the selectable slave address, there is also a broadcast
address (1001000) for all DAC121C081's and DAC121C085's on the 2-wire bus. When the bus is addressed by
the broadcast address, all the DAC121C081's and DAC121C085's will respond and update synchronously.
Figure 23 and Figure 24 describe how the master device should address the DAC via the I2C-Compatible
interface.

Keep in mind that the address selection inputs (ADR0 and ADR1) are only sampled until the DAC is correctly
addressed with a non-broadcast address. At this point, the ADR0 and ADR1 inputs TRI-STATE and the slave
address is "locked". Changes to ADR0 and ADR1 will not update the selected slave address until the device is
power-cycled.

Writing to the DAC Register
To write to the DAC, the master addresses the part with the correct slave address (A6-A0) and writes a "zero" to
the read/write bit. If addressed correctly, the DAC returns an ACK to the master. The master then sends out the
upper data byte. The DAC responds by sending an ACK to the master. Next, the master sends the lower data
byte to the DAC. The DAC responds by sending an ACK again. At this point, the master either sends the upper
byte of the next data word to be converted by the DAC, generates a Stop condition to end communication, or
generates a Repeated Start condition to begin communication with another device on the bus. Until generating a
Stop condition, the master can continuously write the upper and lower data bytes to the DAC register. This
allows for a maximum DAC conversion rate of 188.9 kilo-conversions per second in Hs-mode.

Reading from the DAC Register
To read from the DAC register, the master addresses the part with the correct slave address (A6-A0) and writes
a "one" to the read/write bit. If addressed correctly, the DAC returns an ACK to the master. Next, the DAC sends
out the upper data byte. The master responds by sending an ACK to the DAC to indicate that it wants to receive
another data byte. Then the DAC sends the lower data byte to the master. Assuming only one 16-bit data word is
read, the master sends a NACK after receiving the lower data byte. At this point, the master either generates a
Stop condition to end communication, or a Repeated Start condition to begin communication with another device
on the bus.

DAC REGISTER
The DAC register, Figure 25, has sixteen bits. The first two bits are always zero. The next two bits determine the
mode of operation (normal mode or one of three power-down modes). The final twelve bits of the shift register
are the data bits. The data format is straight binary (MSB first, LSB last), with twelve 0's corresponding to an
output of 0V and twelve 1's corresponding to a full-scale output of VA - 1 LSB. When writing to the DAC Register,
VOUT will update on the rising edge of the ACK following the lower data byte.

POWER-ON RESET
The power-on reset circuit controls the output voltage of the DAC during power-up. Upon application of power,
the DAC register is filled with zeros and the output voltage is 0 Volts. The output remains at 0V until a valid write
sequence is made to the DAC.
When resetting the device, it is crutial that the VA supply be lowered to a maximum of 200mV before the supply
is raised again to power-up the device. Dropping the supply to within 200mV of GND during a reset will ensure
the ADC performs as specified.
SIMULTANEOUS RESET
The broadcast address allows the I2C master to write a single word to multiple DACs simultaneously. Provided
that all of the DACs exist on a single I2C bus, every DAC will update when the broadcast address is used to
address the bus. This feature allows the master to reset all of the DACs on a shared I2C bus to a specific digital
code. For instance, if the master writes a power-down code to the bus with the broadcast address, all of the
DACs will power-down simultaneously.
POWER-DOWN MODES
The DAC121C081 has three power-down modes. In power-down mode, the supply current drops to 0.13µA at 3V
and 0.15µA at 5V (typ). The DAC121C081 is put into power-down mode by writing a one to PD1 and/or PD0.
The outputs can be set to high impedance, terminated by 2.5 kΩ to GND, or terminated by 100 kΩ to GND (see
Figure 25).
The bias generator, output amplifier, resistor string, and other linear circuitry are all shut down in any of the
power-down modes. When the DAC121C081 is powered down, the value written to the DAC register, including
the power-down bits, is saved. While the DAC is in power-down, the saved DAC register contents can be read
back. When the DAC is brought out of power-down mode, the DAC register contents will be overwritten and VOUT
will be updated with the new 12-bit data value.
The time to exit power-down (Wake-Up Time) is typically 0.8µsec at 3V and 0.5µsec at 5V.

ADDITIONAL TIMING INFORMATION: toutz
The toutz specification is provided to aid the design of the I2C bus. After the SCL bus is driven low by the I2C
master, the SDA bus will be held for a short time by the DAC121C081. This time is referred to as toutz. The
following figure illustrates the relationship between the fall of SCL, at the 30% threshold, to the time when the
DAC begins to transition the SDA bus. The toutz specification only applies when the DAC is in control of the SDA
bus. The DAC is only in control of the bus during an ACK by the DAC121C081 or a data byte read from the DAC
(see Figure 24).

Applications Information
USING REFERENCES AS POWER SUPPLIES
While the simplicity of the DAC121C081 implies ease of use, it is important to recognize that the path from the
reference input (VA for the DAC121C081 & VREF for the DAC121C085) to VOUT will have essentially zero Power
Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). Therefore, it is necessary to provide a noise-free supply voltage to the
reference. In order to use the full dynamic range of the DAC121C085, the supply pin (VA) and VREF can be
connected together and share the same supply voltage. Since the DAC121C081 consumes very little power, a
reference source may be used as the supply voltage. The advantages of using a reference source over a voltage
regulator are accuracy and stability. Some low noise regulators can also be used. Listed below are a few
reference and power supply options for the DAC121C081. When using the DAC121C081, it is important to treat
the analog supply (VA) as the reference.
LM4132
The LM4132, with its 0.05% accuracy over temperature, is a good choice as a reference source for the
DAC121C081. The 4.096V version is useful if a 0 to 4.095V output range is desirable or acceptable. Bypassing
the LM4132 VIN pin with a 0.1µF capacitor and the VOUT pin with a 2.2µF capacitor will improve stability and
reduce output noise. The LM4132 comes in a space-saving 5-pin SOT-23.

Figure 28. The LM4050 as a power supply
The minimum resistor value in the circuit of Figure 28 must be chosen such that the maximum current through
the LM4050 does not exceed its 15 mA rating. The conditions for maximum current include the input voltage at
its maximum, the LM4050 voltage at its minimum, and the DAC121C081 drawing zero current. The maximum
resistor value must allow the LM4050 to draw more than its minimum current for regulation plus the maximum
DAC121C081 current in full operation. The conditions for minimum current include the input voltage at its
minimum, the LM4050 voltage at its maximum, the resistor value at its maximum due to tolerance, and the
DAC121C081 draws its maximum current. These conditions can be summarized as
R(min) = ( VIN(max) − VZ(min) ) /IZ(max)
(3)
R(max) = ( VIN(min) − VZ(max) ) / ( (IDAC(max) + IZ(min) )
(4)
and
where VZ(min) and VZ(max) are the nominal LM4050 output voltages ± the LM4050 output tolerance over
temperature, IZ(max) is the maximum allowable current through the LM4050, IZ(min) is the minimum current
required by the LM4050 for proper regulation, and IDAC(max) is the maximum DAC121C081 supply current.
LP3985
The LP3985 is a low noise, ultra low dropout voltage regulator with a 3% accuracy over temperature. It is a good
choice for applications that do not require a precision reference for the DAC121C081. It comes in 3.0V, 3.3V and
5V versions, among others, and sports a low 30 µV noise specification at low frequencies. Since low frequency
noise is relatively difficult to filter, this specification could be important for some applications. The LP3985 comes
in a space-saving 5-pin SOT-23 and 5-bump DSBGA packages.

Figure 30. Using the LP2980 regulator
Like any low dropout regulator, the LP2980 requires an output capacitor for loop stability. This output capacitor
must be at least 1.0µF over temperature, but values of 2.2µF or more will provide even better performance. The
ESR of this capacitor should be within the range specified in the LP2980 data sheet. Surface-mount solid
tantalum capacitors offer a good combination of small size and ESR. Ceramic capacitors are attractive due to
their small size but generally have ESR values that are too low for use with the LP2980. Aluminum electrolytic
capacitors are typically not a good choice due to their large size and have ESR values that may be too high at
low temperatures.
BIPOLAR OPERATION
The DAC121C081 is designed for single supply operation and thus has a unipolar output. However, a bipolar
output may be obtained with the circuit in Figure 31. This circuit will provide an output voltage range of ±5 Volts.
A rail-to-rail amplifier should be used if the amplifier supplies are limited to ±5V.

DSP/MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
Interfacing the DAC121C081 to microprocessors and DSPs is quite simple. The following guidelines are offered
to simplify the design process.
Interfacing to the 2-wire Bus
Figure 32 shows a microcontroller interfacing to the DAC121C081 via the 2-wire bus. Pull-up resistors (Rp)
should be chosen to create an appropriate bus rise time and to limit the current that will be sunk by the opendrain outputs of the devices on the bus. Please refer to the I2C® Specification for further details. Typical pull-up
values to use in Standard-Fast mode bus applications are 2kΩ to 10kΩ. SCL and SDA series resisters (RS) near
the DAC121C081 are optional. If high-voltage spikes are expected on the 2-wire bus, series resistors should be
used to filter the voltage on SDA and SCL. The value of the series resistance must be picked to ensure the VIL
threshold can be achieved. If used, RS is typically 51Ω.

Figure 32. Serial Interface Connection Diagram
Interfacing to a Hs-mode Bus
Interfacing to a Hs-mode bus is very similar to interfacing to a Standard-Fast mode bus. In Hs-mode, the
specified rise time of SCL is shortened. To create a faster rise time, the master device (microcontroller) can drive
the SCL bus high and low. In other words, the microcontroller can drive the line high rather than leaving it to the
pull-up resistor. It is also possible to decrease the value of the pull-up resistors or increase the pull-up current to
meet the tighter timing specs. Please refer to the I2C® Specification for further details.

LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING
For best accuracy and minimum noise, the printed circuit board containing the DAC121C081 should have
separate analog and digital areas. The areas are defined by the locations of the analog and digital power planes.
Both of these planes should be located on the same board layer. There should be a single ground plane. A
single ground plane is preferred if digital return current does not flow through the analog ground area. Frequently
a single ground plane design will utilize a "fencing" technique to prevent the mixing of analog and digital ground
current. Separate ground planes should only be utilized when the fencing technique is inadequate. The separate
ground planes must be connected in one place, preferably near the DAC121C081. Special care is required to
ensure that digital signals with fast edge rates do not pass over split ground planes. They must always have a
continuous return path below their traces.
The DAC121C081 power supply should be bypassed with a 4.7µF and a 0.1µF capacitor as close as possible to
the device with the 0.1µF right at the device supply pin. The 4.7µF capacitor should be a tantalum type and the
0.1µF capacitor should be a low ESL, low ESR type. The power supply for the DAC121C081 should only be
used for analog circuits.
Avoid crossover of analog and digital signals and keep the clock and data lines on the component side of the
board. These clock and data lines should have controlled impedances.
