The ICM7543 is the 10-bit version of this family and the ICM7523 is the 8-bit version. These devices have a 16-bit input shift register and each DAC has a double buffered input. This family of DACs has a guaranteed monotonic behavior. The operating supply range is from 2.7V to 5.5V. Reference Input The reference input accepts positive DC and AC signals. The voltage at REFIN sets the full-scale output voltage of all the DACs. The reference input voltage range is from 0 to VDD-1.5V. The impedance at this pin is very high (greater than 10 M Ohm). Each DACs output amplifier is configured in a gain of 2 configuration. This means that the full-scale output of each DAC will be 2x VREF. To determine the output voltage for any code, use the following equation. VOUT = 2 x (VREF x (D / (2n))) Where D is the numeric value of DAC’s decimal input code, VREF is the reference voltage and n is number of bits, i.e. 12 for ICM7563, 10 for ICM7543 and 8 for ICM7523. Output Buffer Amplifier The Quad DAC has 4 output amplifiers connected in a gain of 2 configuration. These amplifiers have a wide output voltage swing. The actual swing of the output amplifiers will be limited by offset error and gain error. See the Applications Information Section for a more detailed discussion. The output amplifier can drive a load of 2.0 K Ω to VDD or GND in parallel with a 500 pF load capacitance. The output amplifier has a full-scale typical settling time of 8 µs and it dissipates about 100 µA with a 3V supply voltage. Serial Interface and Input Logic This quad DAC family uses a standard 3-wire connection compatible with SPI/QSPI and Microwire interfaces. Data is always loaded in 16-bit words which consist of 4 address and control bits (MSBs) followed by 12 bits (see Figure .3). The last 5 bits of this 12 bit word are also used for power down control (see tables 1 and 2). Each DAC is double buffered with an input latch and DAC latch. Serial Data Input SDI (Serial Data Input) pin is the data input pin for all DACs. Data is clocked in on the falling edge of SCK which has a Schmitt trigger internally to allow for noise immunity on the SCK pin. This specially eases the use for opto-coupled interfaces. The Chip Select pin which is the 1st pin of 10 MSOP package is active low. This pin frames the input data for synchronous loading and must be low when data is being clocked into the part. There is an onboard counter on the clock input and after the 16th clock pulse the data is automatically transferred to a 16-bit input latch and the 4 bit control word (C3~C0) is then decoded and the appropriate DAC is updated or loaded depending on the control word (see Table 1). Chip Select pin must be pulled high (leveltriggered) and back low for the next data word to be loaded in. This pin also disables the SCK pin internally when pulled high. The DAC has a double-buffered input with an input latch and a DAC latch. The DAC output will swing to its new value when data is loaded into the DAC latch. The user has three options: loading only the input latch, updating the DAC with data previously loaded into the input latch or loading the input latch and updating the DAC at the same time with a new code. The actual data that gets loaded into the DAC latch is D11~D0 for the ICM7563, D9~D0 for the ICM7543 and D7~D0 for the ICM 7523. Power-Down Mode The DAC have three Software-Selectable Power-Down Output Impedances (1 K Ohm, 100 K Ohm and Hi-Z) as additional safety feature for applications that drive transducers or valves. The power down can be done with loading the control word with 1111 (C0 to C3). Tthe selection of the Output Impedance of DAC is controlled by the last 5 bits. See Table 1 and Table 2 for details of operation of this function. Power-On Reset There is a power-on reset on board that will clear the contents of all the latches to all 0s on power-up and the DAC voltage output will go to ground. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Rev.

The return path from the GND to the supply ground should be short with low impedance. Using a ground plane would be ideal. The supply should have some bypassing on it. A 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 µF ceramic with a low ESR can be used. Ideally these would be placed as close as possible to the device. Avoid crossing digital and analog signals, specially the reference, or running them close to each other. Output Swing Limitations The ideal rail-to-rail DAC would swing from GND to VDD. However, offset and gain error limit this ability. Figure 4 illustrates how a negative offset error will affect the output. The output will limit close to ground since this is single supply part, resulting in a deadband area. As a larger input is loaded into the DAC the output will eventually rise above ground. This is why the linearity is specified for a starting code greater than zero. Figure 5 illustrates how a gain error or positive offset error will affect the output when it is close to VDD. A positive gain error or positive offset will cause the output to be limited to the positive supply voltage resulting in a dead-band of codes close to full-scale. DEADBAND NEGATIVE OFFSET Figure 4.
