•
•
•
The DAC081S101 is a full-featured, general purpose
8-bit voltage-output digital-to-analog converter (DAC)
that can operate from a single +2.7V to 5.5V supply
and consumes just 175 µA of current at 3.6 Volts.
The on-chip output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output
swing and the three wire serial interface operates at
clock rates up to 30 MHz over the specified supply
voltage range and is compatible with standard SPI™,
QSPI, MICROWIRE and DSP interfaces. Competitive
devices are limited to 20 MHz clock rates at supply
voltages in the 2.7V to 3.6V range.

The supply voltage for the DAC081S101 serves as its
voltage reference, providing the widest possible
output dynamic range. A power-on reset circuit
ensures that the DAC output powers up to zero volts
and remains there until there is a valid write to the
device. A power-down feature reduces power
consumption to less than a microWatt.
The low power consumption and small packages of
the DAC081S101 make it an excellent choice for use
in battery operated equipment.
The DAC081S101 is a direct replacement for the
AD5300 and is one of a family of pin compatible
DACs, including the 10-bit DAC101S101 and the 12bit DAC121S101. The DAC081S101 operates over
the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C
to +105°C.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see
the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics
may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified
When the input voltage at any pin exceeds the power supplies (that is, less than GND, or greater than VA), the current at that pin should
be limited to 10 mA. The 20 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can safely exceed the power
supplies with an input current of 10 mA to two.
The absolute maximum junction temperature (TJmax) for this device is 150°C. The maximum allowable power dissipation is dictated by
TJmax, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature (TA), and can be calculated using the formula
PDMAX = (TJmax − TA) / θJA. The values for maximum power dissipation will be reached only when the device is operated in a severe
fault condition (e.g., when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is reversed).
Obviously, such conditions should always be avoided.
Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through ZERO
Ohms.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see
the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics
may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
All voltages are measured with respect to GND = 0V, unless otherwise specified
To guarantee accuracy, it is required that VA be well bypassed.
The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes up to VA + 300 mV or to 300 mV below GND will not
damage this device. However, errors in the conversion result can occur if any input goes above VA or below GND by more than 100 mV.
For example, if VA is 2.7VDC, ensure that −100mV ≤ input voltages ≤2.8VDC to ensure accurate conversions.

Specification Definitions
DIFFERENTIAL NON-LINEARITY (DNL) is the measure of the maximum deviation from the ideal step size of 1
LSB, which is VREF / 256 = VA / 256.
DIGITAL FEEDTHROUGH is a measure of the energy injected into the analog output of the DAC from the digital
inputs when the DAC outputs are not updated. It is measured with a full-scale code change on the data bus.
FULL-SCALE ERROR is the difference between the actual output voltage with a full scale code (FFh) loaded
into the DAC and the value of VA x 255 / 256.
GAIN ERROR is the deviation from the ideal slope of the transfer function. It can be calculated from Zero and
Full-Scale Errors as GE = FSE - ZE, where GE is Gain error, FSE is Full-Scale Error and ZE is Zero Error.
GLITCH IMPULSE is the energy injected into the analog output when the input code to the DAC register
changes. It is specified as the area of the glitch in nanovolt-seconds.
INTEGRAL NON-LINEARITY (INL) is a measure of the deviation of each individual code from a straight line
through the input to output transfer function. The deviation of any given code from this straight line is measured
from the center of that code value. The end point method is used. INL for this product is specified over a limited
range, per the Electrical Tables.
LEAST SIGNIFICANT BIT (LSB) is the bit that has the smallest value or weight of all bits in a word. This value is
LSB = VREF / 2n
(1)
where VREF is the supply voltage for this product, and "n" is the DAC resolution in bits, which is 8 for the
DAC081S101.
MAXIMUM LOAD CAPACITANCE is the maximum capacitance that can be driven by the DAC with output
stability maintained.

MONOTONICITY is the condition of being monotonic, where the DAC has an output that never decreases when
the output code increases.
MOST SIGNIFICANT BIT (MSB) is the bit that has the largest value or weight of all bits in a word. Its value is
1/2 of VA.
POWER EFFICIENCY is the ratio of the output current to the total supply current. The output current comes from
the power supply. The difference between the supply and output currents, is the power consumed by the device
without a load.
SETTLING TIME is the time for the output to settle within 1/2 LSB of the final value after the input code is
updated.
WAKE-UP TIME is the time for the output to settle to within 1/2 LSB of the final value after the device is
commanded to the active mode from any of the power down modes.
ZERO CODE ERROR is the output error, or voltage, present at the DAC output after a code of 00h has been
entered.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
DAC SECTION
The DAC081S101 is fabricated on a CMOS process with an architecture that consists of switches and a resistor
string that are followed by an output buffer. The power supply serves as the reference voltage. The input coding
is straight binary with an ideal output voltage of:
VOUT = VA x (D / 256)
(2)
where D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded into the DAC register and can take on any
value between 0 and 255.
RESISTOR STRING
The resistor string is shown in Figure 35. This string consists of 4096 equal valued resistors with a switch at each
junction of two resistors, plus a switch to ground. The code loaded into the DAC register determines which switch
is closed, connecting the proper node to the amplifier. This configuration guarantees that the DAC is monotonic.

OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
The output buffer amplifier is a rail-to-rail type, providing an output voltage range of 0V to VA. All amplifiers, even
rail-to-rail types, exhibit a loss of linearity as the output approaches the supply rails (0V and VA, in this case). For
this reason, linearity is specified over less than the full output range of the DAC. The output capabilities of the
amplifier are described in the Electrical Tables.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The three-wire interface is compatible with SPI, QSPI and MICROWIRE as well as most DSPs. See the Timing
Diagram for information on a write sequence.
A write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC line low. Once SYNC is low, the data on the DIN line is clocked
into the 16-bit serial input register on the falling edges of SCLK. On the 16th falling clock edge, the last data bit is
clocked in and the programmed function (a change in the mode of operation and/or a change in the DAC register
contents) is executed. At this point the SYNC line may be kept low or brought high. In either case, it must be
brought high for the minimum specified time before the next write sequence as a falling edge of SYNC is used to
initiate the next write cycle.

Since the SYNC and DIN buffers draw more current when they are high, they should be idled low between write
sequences to minimize power consumption.
INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The input shift register, Figure 36, has sixteen bits. The first two bits are "don't cares" and are followed by two
bits that determine the mode of operation (normal mode or one of three power-down modes). The contents of the
serial input register are transferred to the DAC register on the sixteenth falling edge of SCLK. See Timing
Diagram, Figure 2.

Figure 36. Input Register Contents
Normally, the SYNC line is kept low for at least 16 falling edges of SCLK and the DAC is updated on the 16th
SCLK falling edge. However, if SYNC is brought high before the 16th falling edge, the shift register is reset and
the write sequence is invalid. The DAC register is not updated and there is no change in the mode of operation
or in the output voltage.
POWER-ON RESET
The power-on reset circuit controls the output voltage during power-up. Upon application of power the DAC
register is filled with zeros and the output voltage is 0 Volts and remains there until a valid write sequence is
made to the DAC.
POWER-DOWN MODES
The DAC081S101 has four modes of operation. These modes are set with two bits (DB13 and DB12) in the
control register.

Power-Down with Hi-Z
When both DB13 and DB12 are 0, the device operates normally. For the other three possible combinations of
these bits the supply current drops to its power-down level and the output is pulled down with either a 1kΩ or a
100KΩ resistor, or is in a high impedance state, as described in Table 2.
The bias generator, output amplifier, the resistor string and other linear circuitry are all shut down in any of the
power-down modes. However, the contents of the DAC register are unaffected when in power-down, so when
coming out of power down the output voltage returns to the same voltage it was before entering power down.
Minimum power consumption is achieved in the power-down mode with SCLK disabled and SYNC and DIN idled
low. The time to exit power-down (Wake-Up Time) is typically tWU µsec as stated in the A.C. and Timing
Characteristics Table.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
The simplicity of the DAC081S101 implies ease of use. However, it is important to recognize that any data
converter that utilizes its supply voltage as its reference voltage will have essentially zero PSRR (Power Supply
Rejection Ratio). Therefore, it is necessary to provide a noise-free supply voltage to the device.

DSP/MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
Interfacing the DAC081S101 to microprocessors and DSPs is quite simple. The following guidelines are offered
to hasten the design process.
ADSP-2101/ADSP2103 Interfacing
Figure 37 shows a serial interface between the DAC081S101 and the ADSP-2101/ADSP2103. The DSP should
be set to operate in the SPORT Transmit Alternate Framing Mode. It is programmed through the SPORT control
register and should be configured for Internal Clock Operation, Active Low Framing and 16-bit Word Length.
Transmission is started by writing a word to the Tx register after the SPORT mode has been enabled.

80C51/80L51 Interface
A serial interface between the DAC081S101 and the 80C51/80L51 microcontroller is shown in Figure 38. The
SYNC signal comes from a bit-programmable pin on the microcontroller. The example shown here uses port line
P3.3. This line is taken low when data is to transmitted to the DAC081S101. Since the 80C51/80L51 transmits 8bit bytes, only eight falling clock edges occur in the transmit cycle. To load data into the DAC, the P3.3 line must
be left low after the first eight bits are transmitted. A second write cycle is initiated to transmit the second byte of
data, after which port line P3.3 is brought high. The 80C51/80L51 transmit routine must recognize that the
80C51/80L51 transmits data with the LSB first while the DAC081S101 requires data with the MSB first.

68HC11 Interface
A serial interface between the DAC081S101 and the 68HC11 microcontroller is shown in Figure 39. The SYNC
line of the DAC081S101 is driven from a port line (PC7 in the figure), similar to the 80C51/80L51.
The 68HC11 should be configured with its CPOL bit as a zero and its CPHA bit as a one. This configuration
causes data on the MOSI output to be valid on the falling edge of SCLK. PC7 is taken low to transmit data to the
DAC. The 68HC11 transmits data in 8-bit bytes with eight falling clock edges. Data is transmitted with the MSB
first. PC7 must remain low after the first eight bits are transferred. A second write cycle is initiated to transmit the
second byte of data to the DAC, after which PC7 should be raised to end the write sequence.

USING REFERENCES AS POWER SUPPLIES
Recall the need for a quiet supply source for devices that use their power supply voltage as a reference voltage.
Since the DAC081S101 consumes very little power, a reference source may be used as the supply voltage. The
advantages of using a reference source over a voltage regulator are accuracy and stability. Some low noise
regulators can also be used for the power supply of the DAC081S101. Listed below are a few power supply
options for the DAC081S101.
LM4130
The LM4130 reference, with its 0.05% accuracy over temperature, is a good choice as a power source for the
DAC081S101. Its primary disadvantage is the lack of 3V and 5V versions. However, the 4.096V version is useful
if a 0 to 4.095V output range is desirable or acceptable. Bypassing the LM4130 VIN pin with a 0.1µF capacitor
and the VOUT pin with a 2.2µF capacitor will improve stability and reduce output noise. The LM4130 comes in a
space-saving 5-pin SOT23.

space-saving 3-pin SOT-23.

The minimum resistor value in the circuit of Figure 42 should be chosen such that the maximum current through
the LM4050 does not exceed its 15 mA rating. The conditions for maximum current include the input voltage at
its maximum, the LM4050 voltage at its minimum, the resistor value at its minimum due to tolerance, and the
DAC081S101 draws zero current. The maximum resistor value must allow the LM4050 to draw more than its
minimum current for regulation plus the maximum DAC081S101 current in full operation. The conditions for
minimum current include the input voltage at its minimum, the LM4050 voltage at its maximum, the resistor value
at its maximum due to tolerance, and the DAC081S101 draws its maximum current. These conditions can be
summarized as
R(min) = ( VIN(max) − VZ(min) / (IA(min) + IZ(max))
(3)
R(max) = ( VIN(min) − VZ(max) / (IA(max) + IZ(min) )
(4)
and
where VZ(min) and VZ(max) are the nominal LM4050 output voltages ± the LM4050 output tolerance over
temperature, IZ(max) is the maximum allowable current through the LM4050, IZ(min) is the minimum current
required by the LM4050 for proper regulation, IA(max) is the maximum DAC081S101 supply current, and IA(min)
is the minimum DAC081S101 supply current.
LP3985
The LP3985 is a low noise, ultra low dropout voltage regulator with a 3% accuracy over temperature. It is a good
choice for applications that do not require a precision reference for the DAC081S101. It comes in 3.0V, 3.3V and
5V versions, among others, and sports a low 30 µV noise specification at low frequencies. Since low frequency
noise is relatively difficult to filter, this specification could be important for some applications. The LP3985 comes
in a space-saving 5-pin SOT-23 and 5-bump DSBGA packages.

and understanding of the capacitor specification is required to ensure correct device operation.
LP2980
The LP2980 is an ultra low dropout regulator with a 0.5% or 1.0% accuracy over temperature, depending upon
grade. It is available in 3.0V, 3.3V and 5V versions, among others.

SNAS323C – JUNE 2005 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2013
Like any low dropout regulator, the LP2980 requires an output capacitor for loop stability. This output capacitor
must be at least 1.0µF over temperature, but values of 2.2µF or more will provide even better performance. The
ESR of this capacitor should be within the range specified in the LP2980 data sheet. Surface-mount solid
tantalum capacitors offer a good combination of small size and ESR. Ceramic capacitors are attractive due to
their small size but generally have ESR values that are too low for use with the LP2980. Aluminum electrolytic
capacitors are typically not a good choice due to their large size and have ESR values that may be too high at
low temperatures.
BIPOLAR OPERATION
The DAC081S101 is designed for single supply operation and thus has a unipolar output. However, a bipolar
output may be obtained with the circuit in Figure 45. This circuit will provide an output voltage range of ±5 Volts.
A rail-to-rail amplifier should be used if the amplifier supplies are limited to ±5V.

LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING
For best accuracy and minimum noise, the printed circuit board containing the DAC081S101 should have
separate analog and digital areas. The areas are defined by the locations of the analog and digital power planes.
Both of these planes should be located in the same board layer. There should be a single ground plane. A single
ground plane is preferred if digital return current does not flow through the analog ground area. Frequently a
single ground plane design will utilize a "fencing" technique to prevent the mixing of analog and digital ground
current. Separate ground planes should only be utilized when the fencing technique is inadequate. The separate
ground planes must be connected in one place, preferably near the DAC081S101. Special care is required to
guarantee that digital signals with fast edge rates do not pass over split ground planes. They must always have a
continuous return path below their traces.
The DAC081S101 power supply should be bypassed with a 10µF and a 0.1µF capacitor as close as possible to
the device with the 0.1µF right at the device supply pin. The 10µF capacitor should be a tantalum type and the
0.1µF capacitor should be a low ESL, low ESR type. The power supply for the DAC081S101 should only be
used for analog circuits.
Avoid crossover of analog and digital signals and keep the clock and data lines on the component side of the
board. The clock and data lines should have controlled impedances.
