•
•
•
The DAC8554 is a 16-bit, quad channel, voltage
output, digital-to-analog converter (DAC), offering
low-power operation and a flexible serial host
interface. It offers monotonicity, good linearity, and
exceptionally low glitch. Each on-chip precision output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be
achieved over the supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The
device supports a standard 3-wire serial interface
capable of operating with input data clock frequencies
up to 50 MHz for IOVDD = 5 V.

1.8 V to 5.5 V Logic Compatibility
Available in a TSSOP-16 Package
The DAC8554 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 DAC8554 provides a per channel
power-down feature, accessed over the serial
interface, that reduces the current consumption to
200 nA per channel at 5 V.
The low-power consumption of this device in normal
operation makes it ideally suited to portable batteryoperated equipment and other low-power applications. The power consumption is 4.25 mW at 5 V,
reducing to 4 µW in power-down 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. This device is rated at 1500 V HBM and 1000
V CDM.

SYNC goes LOW, it enables the input shift register and data is transferred in on the falling edges of the
following clocks. The DAC is updated following the 24th clock (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
DAC8554).

THEORY OF OPERATION
VREFH
DAC SECTION
The architecture of each channel of the DAC8554
consists of a resistor-string DAC followed by an
output buffer amplifier. Figure 47 shows a simplified
block diagram of the DAC architecture.

where DIN = decimal equivalent of the binary code

to 65535.

R
RESISTOR STRING
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 48. It is
simply a divide-by-2 resistor followed by a string of
resistors. 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-to-rail voltages on its output which approaches an
output range of 0 V to AVDD (gain and offset errors
must be taken into account). Each buffer is capable
of driving a load of 2 kΩ in parallel with 1000 pF to
GND. The source and sink capabilities of the output
amplifier can be seen in the typical characteristics.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The DAC8554 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.
14
VREFL
Figure 48. 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 50 MHz, making
the DAC8554 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 shift
register gets locked. Further clocking does not
change the shift register data. Once 24 bits are
locked into the shift register, the 8 MSBs are used as
control bits and the 16 LSBs are used as data. After
receiving the 24th falling clock edge, DAC8554 decodes the 8 control bits and 16 data bits to perform
the required function, without waiting for a SYNC
rising edge. A new SPI sequence starts at the next
falling edge of SYNC. A rising edge of SYNC before
the 24-bit sequence is complete resets the SPI
interface; no data transfer occurs.
After the 24th falling edge of SCLK is received, 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.
DAC8554
www.ti.com
SLAS431A – JUNE 2005 – REVISED AUGUST 2005
To assure the lowest power consumption of the
device, care should be taken that the levels are as
close to each rail as possible. (Refer to the Typical
Characteristics section for the Supply Current vs
Logic Input Voltage transfer characteristic curve.
IOVDD AND VOLTAGE TRANSLATORS
The IOVDD pin powers the digital input structures of
the DAC8554. For single-supply operation, it can be
tied to AVDD. For dual-supply operation, the IOVDD pin
provides interface flexibility with various CMOS logic
families and it should be connected to the logic
supply of the system. Analog circuits and internal
logic of the DAC8554 use AVDD as the supply
voltage. The external logic high inputs get translated
to AVDD by level shifters. These level shifters use the
IOVDD voltage as a reference to shift the incoming
logic HIGH levels to AVDD. IOVDD is ensured to
operate from 2.7 V to 5.5 V regardless of the AVDD
voltage, which ensures compatibility with various logic
families. Although specified down to 2.7 V, IOVDD will
operate at as low as 1.8 V with degraded timing and
temperature performance. For lowest power consumption, logic VIH levels should be as close as
possible to IOVDD, and logic VIL levels should be as
close as possible to GND voltages
INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The input shift register (SR) of the DAC8554 is 24
bits wide, as shown in Figure 49, and is made up of 8
control bits (DB23–DB16) and 16 data bits
(DB15–DB0). The first two control bits (DB23 and
DB22) are the address match bits. The DAC8554
offers additional hardware-enabled addressing capability allowing a single host to talk to up to four
DAC8554s through a single SPI bus without any glue
logic, enabling up to 16-channel operation. The state
of DB23 should match the state of pin A1; similarly,
the state of DB22 should match the state of pin A0. If
there is no match, the control command and the data
(DB21...DB0) are ignored by the DAC8554. That is, if
there is no match, the DAC8554 is not addressed.
Address matching can be overridden by the broadcast update, as will be explained.
LD1 (DB21) and LD0 (DB20) 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
DAC8554 and can be 1 or 0. The DAC channel select
bits (DB18, DB17) control the destination of the data
(or power-down command) from DAC A through DAC
D. The final control bit, PD0 (DB16), selects the
power-down mode of the DAC8554 channels.
The DAC8554 also supports a number of different
load commands. The load commands include broadcast commands to address all the DAC8554s on an
SPI bus. The load commands can be summarized as
follows:
DB21 = 0 and DB20 = 0: Single-channel store. The
temporary register (data buffer) corresponding to a
DAC selected by DB18 and DB17 is updated with the
contents of SR data (or power-down).
DB21 = 0 and DB20 = 1: Single-channel update. The
temporary register and DAC register corresponding to
a DAC selected by DB18 and DB17 are updated with
the contents of SR data (or power-down).
DB21 = 1 and DB20 = 0: Simultaneous update. A
channel selected by DB18 and DB17 gets updated
with the SR data, and simultaneously, all the other
channels get updated with previous stored data (or
power-down) from temporary registers.
DB21 = 1 and DB20 = 1: Broadcast update. All the
DAC8554s on the SPI bus respond, regardless of
address matching. If DB18 = 0, then SR data gets
ignored, all channels from all DAC8554s get updated
with previously stored data (or power-down). If DB18
= 1, then SR data (or power-down) updates all
channels of all DAC8554s in the system. This broadcast update feature allows the simultaneous update
of up to 16 channels.
Power-down/data selection is as follows:
DB16 is a power-down flag. If this flag is set, then
DB15 and DB14 select one of the four power-down
modes of the device as described in Table 1. If DB16
= 1, DB15 and DB14 no longer represent the two
MSBs of data, they represent a power-down condition
described in Table 1. Similar to data, power-down
conditions can be stored at the temporary registers of
each DAC. It is possible to update DACs simultaneously either with data, power-down, or a combination of both.
Refer to Table 2 for more information.

SYNC INTERRUPT
POWER-ON RESET
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, nor a change
in the operating mode occurs (see Figure 50).
The DAC8554 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 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 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 DAC8554 utilizes four modes of operation. These
modes are accessed by setting three bits (PD2, PD1,
and PD0) in the shift register and performing a Load
action to the DACs. The DAC8554 offers a very
flexible power-down interface based on channel
register operation. A channel consists of a single
16-bit DAC with power-down circuitry, a temporary
storage register (TR), and a DAC register (DR). TR
and DR are both 18-bit wide. Two MSBs represent
power-down condition and 16 LSBs represent data
for TR and DR. By adding bits 17 and 18 to TR and
DR, a power-down condition can be temporarily
stored and used just like data. Internal circuits ensure
that DB15 and DB14 get transferred to TR17and
TR16 (DR17 and DR16), when DB16 = 1.
The DAC8554 treats the power-down condition like
data and all the operational modes are still valid for
power-down. It is possible to broadcast a power-down
condition to all the DAC8554s in a system, or it is
possible to simultaneously power-down a channel
while updating data on other channels.
Individual channels can separately be powered down,
reducing the total power consumption. When all
channels are powered down, the DAC8554 power
consumption drops below 2 µA. There is no power
-up command. When a channel is updated with data,
it automatically exits power-down. All channels exit
power-down simultaneously after a broadcast data
update. The time to exit power-down is approximately
5 µs. See Table 1 and Table 2 for power-down
operation details.

LDAC FUNCTIONALITY
The DAC8554 offers both a software and hardware
simultaneous update function. The DAC8554
double-buffered architecture has been designed so
that new data can be entered for each DAC without
disturbing the analog outputs. The software simultaneous update capability is controlled by the load 1
(LD1) and load 0 (LD0) control bits. By setting load 1
equal to 1 all of the DAC registers will be updated on
the falling edge of the 24th clock signal. When the
new data has been entered into the device, all of the
DAC outputs can be updated simultaneously and
synchronously with the clock.
DAC8554 data updates are synchronized with the
falling edge of the 24th SCLK cycle, which follows a
falling edge of SYNC. For such synchronous updates,
the LDAC pin is not required and it must be connected to GND permanently. The LDAC pin is used as a
positive edge triggered timing signal for asynchronous DAC updates. Data buffers of all channels must
be loaded with desired data before LDAC is triggered.
After a low-to-high LDAC transition, all DACs are
simultaneously updated with the contents of their
corresponding data buffers. If the content of a data
buffer is not changed by the serial interface, the
corresponding DAC output will remain unchanged
after the LDAC trigger.
ENABLE PIN
For normal operation, the enable pin must be tied to
a logic low. If the enable pin is tied high, the
DAC8554 stops listening to the serial port. This can
be useful for applications that share the same serial
port.
MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
DAC8554 TO 8051 Interface
See Figure 52 for a serial interface between the
DAC8554 and a typical 8051-type micro controller.
The setup for the interface is as follows: TXD of the
8051 drives SCLK of the DAC8554, 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 DAC8554, 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 DAC8554 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.

causes data appearing on the MOSI output to be
valid on the falling edge of SCLK. 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 DAC8554,
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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
CURRENT CONSUMPTION
OUTPUT VOLTAGE STABILITY
The DAC8554 consumes a maximum of 250 µA at
AVDD = 5 V and 240 µA at AVDD = 3 V for each active
channel, including reference current consumption.
Additional current consumption can occur at the
digital inputs if VIH << IOVDD. For most efficient power
operation, CMOS logic levels are recommended at
the digital inputs to the DAC.
The DAC8554 exhibits excellent temperature stability
of 5 ppm/°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 ±25 µV window for a ±1°C ambient temperature change.
In power-down mode, typical current consumption is
200 nA per channel. A delay time of 10 ms to 20 ms
after a power-down command is issued to the DAC is
typically sufficient for the power-down current to drop
below 10 µA.
Good power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) performance reduces supply noise present on AVDD from
appearing at the outputs to well below 10 µV-s.
Combined with good dc noise performance and true
16-bit differential linearity, the DAC8554 becomes a
perfect choice for closed-loop control applications.
DRIVING RESISTIVE AND CAPACITIVE
LOADS
SETTLING TIME AND OUTPUT GLITCH PERFORMANCE
The DAC8554 output stage is capable of driving
loads of up to 1000 pF while remaining stable. Within
the offset and gain error margins, the DAC8554 can
operate rail-to-rail when driving a capacitive load.
Resistive loads of 2 kΩ can be driven by the
DAC8554 while achieving good load regulation.
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 100 mV of the DAC's output voltage characteristic. Under resistive loading conditions, good linearity
is preserved as long as the output voltage is at least
100 mV below the AVDD voltage.
DAC8554 settles to ±0.003% of its full-scale range
within 10 µs, driving a 200 pF 2 KΩ load. For good
settling performance the outputs should not approach
the top and bottom rails. Small signal settling time is
under 1 µs, enabling data update rates exceeding 1
MSPS for small code changes.
CROSSTALK AND AC PERFORMANCE
The DAC8554 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 full-scale change on the
neighboring channel is typically less than 0.5LSBs.
The AC crosstalk measured (for a full-scale, 1 kHz
sine wave output generated at one channel, and
measured at the remaining output channel) is typically under –100 dB.
In addition, the DAC8554 can achieve typical AC
performance of 96 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and
85 dB total harmonic distortion (THD), making the
DAC8554 a solid choice for applications requiring
high SNR at output frequencies at or below 10 kHz.
Many applications are sensitive to undesired transient
signals such as glitch. DAC8554 has a proprietary,
ultra-low glitch architecture addressing such applications. Code-to-code glitches rarely exceed millivolt
and they last under 0.3 µs. Typical glitch energy is an
outstanding 0.15 nV-s. Theoretical worst cast glitch
should occur during a 256 LSB step, but it is so low, it
cannot be detected.
DIFFERENTIAL AND INTERGRAL
NONLINEARITY
DAC8554 uses precision thin film resistors to achieve
monotonicity and good linearity. Typical linearity error
is ±4 LSBs; ±0.3 mV error for a 5 V range. Differential
linearity is typically ±0.25 LSBs, ±19 µV error for a
consecutive code change.
USING THE REF02 AS A POWER SUPPLY
FOR THE DAC8554
Due to the extremely low supply current required by
the DAC8554, a possible configuration is to use a
REF02 +5 V precision voltage reference to supply the
required voltage to the DAC8554s supply input as
well as the reference input, as shown in Figure 56.
This is especially useful if the power supply is quite
noisy or if the system supply voltages are at some
value other than 5 V. The REF02 will output a steady
supply voltage for the DAC8554. If the REF02 is
21
DAC8554
www.ti.com
SLAS431A – JUNE 2005 – REVISED AUGUST 2005
used, the current it needs to supply to the DAC8554
is 0.85 mA typical for AVDD = 5 V. When a DAC
output is loaded, the REF02 also needs to supply the
current to the load. The total typical current required
(with a 5 kΩ load on a given DAC output) is:
0.85 mA + (5V/5 kΩ) = 1.085 mA

BIPOLAR OPERATION USING THE DAC8554
The DAC8554 has been designed for single-supply
operation, but a bipolar output range is also possible
using the circuit in Figure 57. 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, as shown in
REFFigure 57.
The output voltage for any input code can be calculated as follows:
V
OUT
X V
ref
D R1 R2 V R2

where D represents the input code in decimal
(0–65535).
With Vref = 5 V, R1 = R2 = 10 kΩ.
V
OUT
X 10 D 5 V
65536
This is an output voltage range of ±5 V with 0000H
corresponding to a –5 V output and FFFFH corresponding to a 5 V output. Similarly, using Vref = 2.5 V
a ± 2.5 V output voltage range can be achieved.
22
A precision analog component requires careful layout,
adequate bypassing, and clean, well-regulated power
supplies.
The DAC8554 offers single-supply operation, and it
will often be used in close proximity with digital logic,
micro controllers, 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 DAC8554, 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 AVDD 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, AVDD 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 1 µF to 10 µF capacitor in parallel with a
0.1 µF bypass capacitor is strongly recommended. In
some situations, additional bypassing may be required, such as a 100 µF electrolytic capacitor or
even a Pi filter made up of inductors and capacitors –
all designed to essentially low-pass filter the supply,
removing the high-frequency noise.
DAC8554

SLAS431A – JUNE 2005 – REVISED AUGUST 2005
Up to four DAC8554 devices can be used on a single
SPI bus without any glue logic to create a high
channel count solution. Special attention is required
to avoid digital signal integrity problems when using
multiple DAC8554s on the same SPI bus. Signal
integrity of SYNC, SCLK, and DIN lines will not be an
issue as long as the rise times of these digital signals
are longer than six times the propagation delay
between any two DAC8554 devices. Propagation
speed is approximately six inches/ns on standard
PCBs. Therefore, if the digital signal rise time is 1 ns,
the distance between any two DAC8554s have to be
further apart on the PCB, the signal rise times should
be reduced by placing series resistors at the drivers
for SYNC, SCLK, and DIN lines. If the largest distance
between any two DAC8554s must to be six inches,
the rise time should be reduced to 6 ns with an RC
network formed by the series resistor at the digital
driver and the total trace and input capacitance on
the PCB.
