16-Bit, Quad Voltage Output
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● LOW POWER: 10mW
● UNIPOLAR OR BIPOLAR OPERATION
The DAC7634 is a 16-bit, quad voltage output, digitalto-analog converter with guaranteed 15-bit monotonic
performance over the specified temperature range. It
accepts 24-bit serial input data, has double-buffered
DAC input logic (allowing simultaneous update of all
DACs), and provides a serial data output for daisy
chaining multiple DACs. Programmable asynchronous
reset clears all registers to a mid-scale code of 8000H or
to a zero-scale of 0000H. The DAC7634 can operate
from a single +5V supply or from +5V and –5V supplies.
Low power and small size per DAC make the DAC7634
ideal for automatic test equipment, DAC-per-pin programmers, data acquisition systems, and closed-loop
servo-control. The DAC7634 is available in a 48-lead
SSOP package and offers guaranteed specifications
over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range.
● SETTLING TIME: 10µs to 0.003%
● 15-BIT LINEARITY AND MONOTONICITY:
–40°C to +85°C
● PROGRAMMABLE RESET TO MID-SCALE
OR ZERO-SCALE
● DOUBLE-BUFFERED DATA INPUTS
APPLICATIONS
● PROCESS CONTROL
● CLOSED-LOOP SERVO-CONTROL
● MOTOR CONTROL
● DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS
● DAC-PER-PIN PROGRAMMERS

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
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.
NOTE: (1) Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings”
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to absolute maximum
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The digital input is a 24-bit serial word that contains a 2-bit
address code for selecting one of four DACs, a quick load
bit, five unused bits, and the 16-bit DAC code (MSB first).
The converters can be powered from either a single +5V
supply or a dual ±5V supply. The device offers a reset
function which immediately sets all DAC output voltages
and DAC registers to mid-scale code 8000H or to zero-scale,
code 0000H. See Figures 2 and 3 for the basic operation of
the DAC7634.
The DAC7634 is a quad voltage output, 16-bit Digital-toAnalog Converter (DAC). The architecture is an R-2R
ladder configuration with the three MSB’s segmented, followed by an operational amplifier that serves as a buffer.
Each DAC has its own R-2R ladder network, segmented
MSBs, and output op amp, as shown in Figure 1. The
minimum voltage output (zero-scale) and maximum voltage
output (full-scale) are set by the external voltage references
(VREFL and VREFH, respectively).

FIGURE 3. Basic Dual-Supply Operation of the DAC7634.
ANALOG OUTPUTS
The DAC7634 offers a force and sense output configuration
for the high open-loop gain output amplifier. This feature
allows the loop around the output amplifier to be closed at
the load (as shown in Figure 4), thus ensuring an accurate
output voltage.
When VSS = –5V (dual supply operation), the output amplifier can swing to within 2.25V of the supply rails, guaranteed over the –40°C to +85°C temperature range. When
VSS = 0V (single-supply operation), and with RLOAD also
connected to ground, the output can swing to ground. Care
must also be taken when measuring the zero-scale error
when VSS = 0V. Since the output voltage cannot swing
below ground, the output voltage may not change for the
first few digital input codes (0000H, 0001H, 0002H, etc.) if
the output amplifier has a negative offset. At the negative
limit of –2mV, the first specified output starts at code 0040H.
RW1
DAC7634
Due to the high accuracy of these D/A converters, system
design problems such as grounding and contact resistance
become very important. A 16-bit converter with a 2.5V fullscale range has a 1LSB value of 38µV. With a load current
of 1mA, series wiring and connector resistance of only
40mΩ (RW2) will cause a voltage drop of 40µV, as shown in
Figure 4. To understand what this means in terms of a
system layout, the resistivity of a typical 1 ounce copperclad printed circuit board is 1/2 mΩ per square. For a 1mA
load, a 10 milli-inch wide printed circuit conductor 600
milli-inches long will result in a voltage drop of 30µV.

REFERENCE INPUTS
The current into the VREFH input and out of VREFL depends
on the DAC output voltages, and can vary from a few
microamps to approximately 0.5mA. The reference input
appears as a varying load to the reference. If the reference
can sink or source the required current, a reference buffer is
not required. The DAC7634 features a reference drive and
sense connection such that the internal errors caused by the
changing reference current and the circuit impedances can
be minimized. Figures 5 through 13 show different reference
configurations, and the effect on the linearity and differential linearity.
The reference inputs, VREFL and VREFH, can be any voltage
between VSS + 2.5V and VCC – 2.5V, provided that VREFH
is at least 1.25V greater than VREFL. The minimum output of
each DAC is equal to VREFL plus a small offset voltage
(essentially, the offset of the output op amp). The maximum
output is equal to VREFH plus a similar offset voltage. Note
that VSS (the negative power supply) must either be
connected to ground or must be in the range of –4.75V to
–5.25V. The voltage on VSS sets several bias points within
the converter. If VSS is not in one of these two configurations, the bias values may be in error and proper operation
of the device is not guaranteed.

DIGITAL INTERFACE
Table I shows the basic control logic for the DAC7634. The
interface consists of a Signal Data Clock (CLK) input, Serial
Data (SDI), DAC Input Register Load Control Signal
(LOAD), and DAC Register Load Control Signal (LDAC).
In addition, a Chip Select (CS) input is available to enable
serial communication when there are multiple serial devices.
An asynchronous Reset (RST) input, by the rising edge, is
provided to simplify start-up conditions, periodic resets, or
emergency resets to a known state, depending on the status
of the reset select (RSTSEL) signal.
VOUT
+V
The DAC code, quick load control, and address are provided
via a 24-bit serial interface (see Figure 15). The first two bits
select the input register that will be updated when LOAD
goes LOW. The third bit is a “Quick Load” bit such that if
HIGH, the code in the shift register is loaded into ALL
DAC's input register when LOAD signal goes LOW. If the
“Quick Load” bit is LOW, the content of shift register is
loaded only to the DAC input register that is addressed. The
“Quick Load” bit is followed by five unused bits. The last
sixteen bits (MSB first) are the DAC code.

DAC7634
The internal DAC register is edge triggered and not level
triggered. When the LDAC signal is transitioned from LOW
to HIGH, the digital word currently in the DAC input
register is latched. The first set of registers (the DAC input
registers) are level triggered via the LOAD signal. This
double-buffered architecture has been designed so that new
data can be entered for each DAC without disturbing the
analog outputs. When the new data has been entered into the
device, all of the DAC outputs can be updated simultaneously by the rising edge of LDAC. Additionally, it allows
the DAC input registers to be written to at any point, then the
DAC output voltages can be synchronously changed via a
trigger signal (LDAC).
The Serial-Data Output (SDO) is the internal shift register's
output. For DAC7634, the SDO is a driven output and does
not require an external pull-up. Any number of DAC7634's
can be daisy chained by connecting the SDO pin of one
device to the SDI pin of the following device in the chain,
as shown in Figure 14.
Note that CS and CLK are combined with an OR gate, which
controls the serial-to-parallel shift register. These two inputs
are completely interchangeable. In addition, care must be
taken with the state of CLK when CS rises at the end of a
serial transfer. If CLK is LOW when CS rises, the OR gate
will provide a rising edge to the shift register, shifting the
internal data one additional bit. The result will be incorrect
data and possible selection of the wrong input register(s). If
both CS and CLK are used, CS should rise only when CLK
is HIGH. If not, then either CS or CLK can be used to
operate the shift register. See Table II for more information.
The DAC7634 input data is in Straight Binary format. The
output voltage is given by Equation 1.

The DAC7634 offers a unique set of features that allows a
wide range of flexibility in designing applications circuits
such as programmable current sources. The DAC7634 offers
both a differential reference input, as well as an open-loop
configuration around the output amplifier. The open-loop
configuration around the output amplifier allows a transistor
to be placed within the loop to implement a digitallyprogrammable, unidirectional current source. The availability of a differential reference allows programmability for
both the full-scale and zero-scale currents. The output current is calculated as:
NOTES: (1) CS and CLK are interchangeable. (2) H = Logic HIGH.
(3) X = Don’t Care. (4) L = Logic LOW (5) = Positive Logic Transition.
(6) A HIGH value is suggested in order to avoid a “false clock” from advancing
the shift register and changing the shift register. (7) If data is clocked into the
serial register while LOAD is LOW, the selected DAC register will change as
the shift register bits “flow” through A1 and A0. This will corrupt the data in
each DAC register that has been erroneously selected. (8) Rising edge of RST
causes no change in the contents of the serial shift register.
