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.

Basic Operation of the DAC7612. ® DAC7612 10 + 10µF 0V to +4.095V 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.

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 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 Digital Circuits +5V Power Supply +5V +5V GND DAC7612 GND 100µF + + VDD 10µF 0.1µF GND Optional Other Analog Components FIGURE 4.
