LTC1329-10/ LTC1329-50/LTC1329A-50 Micropower 8-Bit Current Output D/A Converter U DESCRIPTION FEATURES ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The LTC ®1329-10/LTC1329-50/LTC1329A-50 are micropower 8-bit current output D/A converters (DACs) with an output range of 0µA to 10µA for the LTC1329-10 and 0µA to 50µA for the LTC1329-50/LTC1329A-50. The DAC current output can be biased from – 15V to 2V or – 15V to 2.5V in 3.3V and 5V systems, respectively. Supply current is only 95µA for the LTC1329-50/LTC1329A-50 and 75µA for LTC1329-10. A shutdown mode drops the supply current to 0.2µA.

Standard 3-Wire Mode 2. Pulse Mode 1-Wire Interface: Increment-Only 3. Pulse Mode 2-Wire Interface: Increment/Decrement Can Read Back the 8-Bit DAC Value in 3-Wire Mode DAC Powers Up at Midrange DAC Contents Are Retained in Shutdown The LTC1329 can communicate with external circuitry by using one of three interface modes: standard 3-wire serial mode and two pulse modes. Upon power-up, the internal counter resets to 1000 0000B, the DAC output assumes midrange and the chip is configured in 3-wire or pulse mode depending on the signal level at CS. In 3-wire mode, the system MPU can serially transfer 8-bit data to and from the LTC1329. In pulse mode, the upper six bits of the DAC output can be programmed for increment-only (1-wire interface) or increment/decrement (2-wire interface) operation depending on the signal level at DIN.

In 3.3V or 5V systems, the DAC current output can be biased from – 15V to 2V or – 15V to 2.5V respectively. VCC (Pin 2): Voltage Supply (2.7V ≤ VCC ≤ 6.5V). This supply must be kept free from noise and ripple by bypassing directly to the ground plane. SHDN (Pin 3): Shutdown. A logic low puts the chip into Shutdown mode. The digital setting for the DAC is retained. CLK (Pin 4): Shift Clock. This clock synchronizes the serial data in 3-wire mode. This pin has a Schmitt trigger input. 4 CS (Pin 5): Chip Select Input. In 3-wire mode, a logic low on this CS pin enables the LTC1329. Upon power-up, a logic high at CS puts the chip into pulse mode. If CS ever goes low, the chip is configured in 3-wire mode until the next power is cycled. GND (Pin 6): Ground. Ground should be tied directly to a ground plane. DIN (UP/DN)(Pin 7): Data Input. In 3-wire mode, the DAC data is shifted into DIN on the rising edge of CLK. In pulse mode, upon power-up a logic high at DIN puts the counter into increment-only mode. If DIN ever goes low, the LTC1329-10/ LTC1329-50/LTC1329A-50 U U U PIN FUNCTIONS counter is configured in increment/decrement mode until the power is cycled. DOUT (Pin 8): Data Output. In 3-wire mode, on every conversion DOUT serially outputs the previous 8-bit DAC data. In pulse mode, DOUT is three-stated.

For each part, the 8-bit DAC output is guaranteed monotonic and is digitally adjustable in 256 equal steps. Upon power up, the internal DAC register resets to 10000000B and the DAC output assumes midrange. The current output (IOUT) can be biased from – 15V to 2V or – 15V to 2.5V in 3.3V and 5V systems, respectively. The LTC1329-10 features a fullscale output of 10µA trimmed to ±3% at room temperature (±5% over temperature), while the LTC1329-50 features a 50µA full scale and two accuracy grades; ±1% at room temperature (±2% over temperature) for the LTC1329A-50 and ±3% at room temperature (±5% over temperature) for the LTC1329-50. All versions include a flexible serial digital interface which allows easy interconnection to a variety of digital systems. If the CS line ever goes low (as it will at the beginning of a valid 3-wire serial transfer) the chip immediately reconfigures itself into 3-wire mode and remains in this mode until the next time the power is cycled. If CS stays high, the LTC1329 family stays in pulse mode and watches the UP/DN pin to determine whether to switch to 2-wire mode. If UP/DN ever goes low (as it will the first time a “down” command is given) the chip switches into 2-wire pulse mode and remains in this mode until the next time the power is cycled. In a properly configured 1-wire system, CS and UP/DN will stay high continuously and the LTC1329-10/LTC1329-50/LTC1329A-50 will remain in 1wire pulse mode. 2-wire pulse mode systems should give a single “down” pulse sometime before the first data pulses are sent to prevent the LTC1329 family from staying in 1-wire mode if the first several pulses happen to be “ups”. POWER-UP DIGITAL INTERFACE Automatic Mode Selection The LTC1329 family includes a serial interface capable of communicating with the host system using one of three protocols; standard 3-wire mode, a 2-wire up/down pulse mode and a 1-wire increment-only pulse mode. The LTC1329 family is designed to auto-configure itself depending on the way data is presented to it. A diagram illustrating this auto detection behavior is shown in Figure 2. At power-up, the interface is set to 1-wire pulse mode. 6 CS STAYS HIGH CS GOES LOW 3-WIRE MODE PULSE MODE DIN (UP/DN) GOES LOW DIN STAYS HIGH INCREMENT/ DECREMENT INCREMENTONLY 1329 F02 Figure 2. LTC1329 Operating Modes LTC1329-10/ LTC1329-50/LTC1329A-50 U U W U APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Standard 3-Wire Mode (Figure 3) Refer to the Serial Interface Operating Sequence in Figure 1. When operating in 3-wire mode, the LTC1329-10/ LTC1329-50/LTC1329A-50 will interface directly with most standard 3- or 4-wire serial interface systems. The clock (CLK) input synchronizes the data transfer with each input bit captured at the rising edge of CLK and each output data bit shifted out through DOUT at the falling edge. A falling edge at CS initiates the data transfer and brings the DOUT pin out of three-state. The serial 8-bit data representing the new DAC setting is shifted into the DIN pin. Simultaneously, the previous DAC setting is shifted out of the DOUT pin. After the new data is shifted in, a rising edge at CS transfers the data from the input shift register into the DAC register. The DAC output assumes the new value and the DOUT pin returns to a high-impedance state.

Pulse Mode: Increment Only (1-Wire Control by CLK) 2-Wire Interface (Pulse Mode, Figure 5) In 2-wire pulse mode, a logic HIGH at UP/DN programs the DAC register to increment and each rising edge at CLK increments the upper six bits of the register by one count. Similarly, a logic LOW at UP/DN set the DAC register to decrement and a rising edge at CLK decrements the upper six bits of the register by one count. Each count in 2-wire mode changes the DAC output by a single four LSB step. The DAC register stops incramenting at 11111100B and stops decrementing at 00000000B and will not roll over in 2-wire pulse mode. The last two LSBs are always zero in pulse mode. IOUT = (B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 0 0)IFULLSCALE/255 CS DIN DOUT 1329 F03 DIN AND DOUT CAN BE TIED TOGETHER FOR HALF DUPLEX DATA TRANSFER To configure the LTC1329-10/LTC1329-50/LTC1329A-50 in 2-wire pulse mode, tie CS to VCC and bring the UP/DN pin low at least once during power-up. Figure 3. 3-Wire Mode; Serial Interface (3-Wire Control by CS, CLK and DIN) 1-Wire Interface (Pulse Mode, Figure 4) In 1-wire pulse mode, each rising edge at CLK increments the upper six bits of the DAC register by one count. When incramented beyond 11111100B, the counter rolls over and sets the DAC to the minimum value (00000000B). In this way, a single pulse applied to CLK increases the DAC output by a single 4-LSB step and 63 pulses decrease the DAC output by one step. The last two LSBs are always zero in pulse mode.
