FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● LOW POWER: 3.7mW
● FAST SETTLING: 7µs to 1 LSB
The DAC7612 is a dual, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with guaranteed 12-bit monotonicity
performance over the industrial temperature range. It
requires a single +5V supply and contains an input
shift register, latch, 2.435V reference, a dual DAC, and
high speed rail-to-rail output amplifiers. For a fullscale step, each output will settle to 1 LSB within 7µs
while only consuming 3.7mW.
● 1mV LSB WITH 4.095V FULL-SCALE
RANGE
● COMPLETE WITH REFERENCE
● 12-BIT LINEARITY AND MONOTONICITY
OVER INDUSTRIAL TEMP RANGE
● 3-WIRE INTERFACE: Up to 20MHz Clock
The synchronous serial interface is compatible with a
wide variety of DSPs and microcontrollers. Clock
(CLK), Serial Data In (SDI), Chip Select (CS) and
Load DACs (LOADDACS) comprise the serial interface.
● SMALL PACKAGE: 8-Lead SOIC
APPLICATIONS
● PROCESS CONTROL
The DAC7612 is available in an 8-lead SOIC package
and is fully specified over the industrial temperature
range of –40°C to +85°C.

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.

DAC7612
next 12 bits are the code (MSB-first) sent to the DAC. The
data format is Straight Binary and is loaded MSB-first into
the shift registers after loading the address bits. Table I shows
the relationship between input code and output voltage.
OPERATION
The DAC7612 is a dual, 12-bit digital-to-analog converter
(DAC) complete with a serial-to-parallel shift register, DAC
registers, laser-trimmed 12-bit DACs, on-board reference,
and rail-to-rail output amplifiers. Figure 1 shows the basic
operation of the DAC7612.
The digital data into the DAC7612 is double-buffered. This
means that new data can be entered into the chosen DAC
without disturbing the old data and the analog output of the
converter. At some point after the data has been entered into
the serial shift register, this data can be transferred into the
DAC registers. This transfer is accomplished with a HIGH
to LOW transition of the LOADDACS pin. The LOADDACS
pin makes the DAC registers transparent. If new data is
shifted into the shift register while LOADDACS is LOW,
the DAC output voltages will change as each new bit is
entered. To prevent this, LOADDACS must be returned
HIGH prior to shifting in new serial data.
INTERFACE
Figure 1 shows the basic connection between a
microcontroller and the DAC7612. The interface consists of
a Serial Clock (CLK), Serial Data (SDI), and a Load DAC
signal (LOADDACS). In addition, a chip select (CS) input is
available to enable serial communication when there are
multiple serial devices. Loading either DAC A or DAC B is
done by shifting 14 serial bits in via the SDI input. The first
2 bits represent the address of the DAC to be updated and the
DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
The internal DAC section is a 12-bit voltage output
device that swings between ground and the internal reference voltage. The DAC is realized by a laser-trimmed
R-2R ladder network which is switched by N-channel
MOSFETs. Each DAC output is internally connected to a
rail-to-rail output operational amplifier.

If power consumption is critical, it is important to keep the
logic levels on the digital inputs (SDI, CLK, CS,
LOADDACS) as close as possible to either VDD or ground.
This will keep the CMOS inputs (see “Supply Current vs
Logic Input Voltages” in the Typical Performance Curves)
from shunting current between VDD and ground.
noise, and a set gain of 1.682V/V (4.095/2.435). See Figure
2 for an equivalent circuit schematic of the analog portion of
the DAC7612.
The output amplifier has a 7µs typical settling time to ±1
LSB of the final value. Note that there are differences in the
settling time for negative-going signals versus positivegoing signals.
The rail-to-rail output stage of the amplifier provides the fullscale range of 0V to 4.095V while operating on a supply voltage
as low as 4.75V. In addition to its ability to drive resistive loads,
the amplifier will remain stable while driving capacitive loads
of up to 500pF. See Figure 3 for an equivalent circuit schematic
of the amplifier’s output driver and the Typical Performance
Curves section for more information regarding settling time,
load driving capability, and output noise.
The DAC7612 power supply should be bypassed as shown
in Figure 1. The bypass capacitors should be placed as close
to the device as possible, with the 0.1µF capacitor taking
priority in this regard. The “Power Supply Rejection vs
Frequency” graph in the Typical Performance Curves section shows the PSRR performance of the DAC7612. This
should be taken into account when using switching power
supplies or DC/DC converters.
In addition to offering guaranteed performance with VDD in
the 4.75V to 5.25V range, the DAC7612 will operate with
reduced performance down to 4.5V. Operation between
4.5V and 4.75V will result in longer settling time, reduced
performance, and current sourcing capability. Consult the
“VDD vs Load Current” graph in the Typical Performance
Curves section for more information.
POWER SUPPLY
A BiCMOS process and careful design of the bipolar and
CMOS sections of the DAC7612 result in a very low power
device. Bipolar transistors are used where tight matching
and low noise are needed to achieve analog accuracy, and
CMOS transistors are used for logic, switching functions
and for other low power stages.

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 are connected
at the power entry point of the system (see Figure 4).
APPLICATIONS
POWER AND GROUNDING
The DAC7612 can be used in a wide variety of situations—
from low power, battery operated systems to large-scale
industrial process control systems. In addition, some applications require better performance than others, or are particularly sensitive to one or two specific parameters. This
diversity makes it difficult to define definite rules to follow
concerning the power supply, bypassing, and grounding.
The following discussion must be considered in relation to
the desired performance and needs of the particular system.
The power applied to VDD should be well regulated and lownoise. 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 VDD and VOUT.
As with the GND connection, VDD should be connected to
a +5V 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, the 10µF and 0.1µF capacitors shown in Figure 4 are strongly recommended and
should be installed as close to VDD and ground as possible.
In some situations, additional bypassing may be required
such as a 100µF electrolytic capacitor or even a “Pi” filter
made up of inductors and capacitors—all designed to essentially lowpass filter the +5V supply, removing the high
frequency noise (see Figure 4).
A precision analog component requires careful layout, adequate bypassing, and a clean, well-regulated power supply.
As the DAC7612 is a single-supply, +5V component, it will
often be used in conjunction with digital logic,
microcontrollers, 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
achieve good performance.
Because the DAC7612 has a single ground pin, all return
currents, including digital and analog return currents, must
flow through this pin. The GND pin is also the ground
