DAC1282 Low Distortion Digital-to-Analog Converter for Seismic
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The DAC1282 is a fully-integrated digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) providing low distortion, digital
synthesized voltage output suitable for testing of
seismic equipment. The DAC1282 achieves very high
performance in a small package with low power.
Together, with the high-performance ADS1281 and
ADS1282 analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), these
devices create a measurement system that meets the
exacting demands of seismic data acquisition
equipment.

Sync Input
Power-Down Mode
Analog Supply: 5 V or ±2.5 V
Digital Supply: 1.8 V to 3.3 V
Power: 38 mW
Package: TSSOP-24
Operating Range: –50°C to +125°C
The DAC1282 integrates a digital signal generator, a
DAC, and an output amplifier providing sine wave, dc,
and pulse output voltages.
The output frequency is programmable from 0.5 Hz to
250 Hz and the magnitude is scaled by both analog
and digital control. The analog gain is adjustable in 6dB steps and the digital gain in 0.5-dB steps. The
analog gain settings match those of the ADS1282 for
testing at all gains with high resolution.
The DAC1282 also provides pulse outputs. The pulse
amplitude is user-programmed and then selected by
the pin for precise timing. Custom output signals can
be generated by applying an external bitstream
pattern.
2 Applications
•
•
•
Energy Exploration
Seismic Monitoring Systems
High-Accuracy Instrumentation
A signal switch can be used to connect the DAC
output to sensors for THD and impulse testing. The
switch timing is controlled by pin and by command.
A SYNC pin synchronizes the DAC output to the
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) sample interval. A
power-down input disables the device, reducing
power consumption to microwatts.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The DAC1282 is a single-chip, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that self-generates low-distortion sine-wave and
pulse-output signals for the demanding testing requirements of seismic recording equipment. Figure 32 shows
the block diagram of the DAC1282.
The DAC1282A device is functionally equivalent to the DAC1282, except that the DAC1282A supports PGA
gains of 1/1, 1/4, and 1/16 only. The DAC1282A also relaxes the THD specification of these gains. See the
Electrical Characteristics section for more details.
The DAC1282 requires two supply voltages: analog and digital. The analog supply can be single 5 V or bipolar
±2.5 V. The digital supply range is 1.65 V to 3.6V. The output signal common-mode voltage is regulated to
100 mV below the midpoint of the analog power-supply voltage. An internal power-on reset (POR) circuit resets
the DAC on power-up.
An SPI™-compatible serial interface is used to access the DAC1282 registers for device configuration and
control. The configuration registers can be read back by clocking the data out on the DOUT pin. The DAC1282
voltage output is fully differential and is taken out on the VOUTP/VOUTN pins. The CAPP/CAPN pins connect to
external filter capacitors to reduce the output noise.
The reference input voltage sets the DAC1282 full-scale output. The DAC reference voltage is applied between
the VREF and AVSS pins. The DAC is optimized to operate with a 5-V reference. The sine-wave generator is
programmable by registers to set the sine frequency and amplitude. The frequency range is programmable from
0.4883 Hz to 250 Hz. The output level is controlled by both analog gain (in 6-dB steps), and digital gain (in 0.5dB steps).

The digital modulator takes the output from the sine-wave generator or the 24-bit dc register to generate the
ones-density bitstream. The bitstream drives the main DAC. Optionally, ones-density data can be input to drive
the DAC directly, bypasses the digital signal generator. The main DAC develops a differential output current that
is converted to a differential output voltage by an internal current-to-voltage (I/V) amplifier. The output range is
set by analog gain that scales the DAC current generator. The output amplifier provides current limit protection.
The dc mode is programmed by a 24-bit register and is used to provide a dc output. The dc mode also has
programmable ranges controlled by the analog gain control.

Overview (continued)
In Pulse mode, a fast-response, 5-bit pulse DAC is used to provide 31 preset dc levels. The levels span over the
available output ranges. The pulse DAC is optimized to provide fast response with short output rise times. The
pulse DAC is triggered by the SYNC pin for precision control of the pulse time.
The DAC1282 includes a low distortion differential output switch. The output switch can connect the DAC1282
output to sensors for THD and impulse testing. The switch is controlled by either pin or command, thus allowing
precise switch timing.
The SYNC input synchronizes the output signal to a known time reference. In sine mode, SYNC resets the sine
wave to the zero crossing. In Pulse mode, SYNC selects one of two user-programmed dc levels.
The RESET/PWDN pin powers down the device when low. When RESET/PWDN is released high, the DAC1282
is reset.
The SW/TD input is dual function. In digital data mode, the pin is the ones-density data input. In the other modes,
SW/TD controls the opening/closing of the switch.
Figure 33 shows the main details of the main DAC. The main DAC provides the digital-to-analog conversion by
filtering the ones-density digital data. In operation, the current generator establishes the range current that is
mirrored to a multi-tap, current-steering filter stage. The current generator is controlled by the analog gain control
register that scales the weight of the tap currents to one of seven ranges (0 dB to –36 dB).
The current-steering stage switches the tap currents to the positive or negative current summing nodes, as the
digital input is sampled. A higher ones-density directs an increasing average current to one node than the other,
thus increasing the differential current. The differential current is converted to differential voltage by the internal
I/V converter stage. The common-mode current sources balance the current at the amplifier summing node.

8.2 Feature Description
8.2.1 Signal Output (VOUTP, VOUTN)
As shown in Figure 34, the DAC provides a differential voltage (VDIFF = VOUTP – VOUTN) on pins VOUTP and
VOUTN. The output common-mode voltage (VCOM) is regulated to 100 mV below the midpoint of the analog
supply (AVDD – AVSS).
Each signal output swings above and below the common-mode voltage. Best performance is realized when the
DAC output is used differentially. In power-down mode, the outputs enter a high-impedance, 3-state mode.

DAC1282
V COM

NOTE: VDIFF = VOUTP – VOUTN = ±2.5 V × Gain (VREF = 5 V).
VCOM = –0.1 V (±2.5-V supplies) or 2.4 V (5-V supply).
Figure 34. DAC Output Signal
The DAC output buffer is rated to drive up to a 2-nF capacitive load (maximum) and a 100-Ω resistive load
(minimum). However, degradation of THD performance results in resistive loads less than 1 kΩ, as shown in
Figure 26
The internal digital modulator generates the signal to drive the DAC. The modulator shapes the in-band noise to
high frequency and the frequency-shaped noise is present on the DAC output. However, the high frequency DAC
output noise is rejected by the digital filter of the ADC and does not affect system performance.
The DAC sampling update noise is also present on the signal output. The sampling noise does not affect the
ADC performance, but when testing the ADC near full-scale input, the noise can cause false indication of the
ADC modulator overrange detection. The ADS1282 overrange output signal indication should be ignored when
testing at or below the ADC full-scale input.

When the M or N registers are updated, the sine wave resets to the zero-crossing point. The sine wave can also
be reset to the zero-crossing point by taking the SYNC pin high; see the SYNC section.
The amplitude of the sine-wave output is determined by analog and digital gains. The analog gain increments are
6 dB, from 0 dB to –36 dB, and are programmed by the GAIN[2:0] register bits. Table 3 lists the analog gains.

The DAC1282A supports analog gains of 1/1, 1/4, and 1/16 only.
Relative to 1.77 VRMS full-scale.
VREF = 5 V, digital gain = 0 dB.
The digital gain resolution is in 0.5-dB increments, from 0 dB to full mute and is programmed by the SINEG[7:0]
register bits. Table 4 lists the digital gain setting. Equation 2 is the amplitude setting in sine mode.
Sine Amplitude (dB) = Analog Gain (dB) + Digital Gain (dB)
(2)
Best SNR, for a given signal level, is achieved by reducing the analog gain while maximizing the digital gain.

8.2.2.2 DC Mode
The DAC1282 provides a dc output mode with 24-bit available resolution. The output level is determined by the
analog gain and the 24-bit dc registers.
The GAIN[2:0] register bits set the analog gain (see Table 3). The DCG[23:0] register bits set the 24-bit level
over the selected analog range. Table 5 lists the digital gain settings in dc mode.

8.2.2.3 Pulse Mode
In pulse mode, a fast responding, 5-bit pulse DAC is used to generate the output. The pulse DAC is designed to
approximate a linear-in-dB output function, allowing the generation of pulse test signals across all ranges. Two
registers are used to preset the DAC output. The SYNC pin is used to select one of the two registers. When
SYNC is low, the PULSA register value drives the DAC; when SYNC is high, the PULSB register value drives the
DAC. The pulse registers can be programmed to yield differential outputs from –2.5 V to +2.5 V. Note that the
pulse levels scale with VREF and are independent of the analog gain settings. Table 6 lists the programmable
range of the pulse A and pulse B registers.

VREF = 5 V. Ideal pulse mode differential output, values are rounded and exclude noise, offset, gain, and linearity errors.
Note that when pulse testing the ADC, the ADC digital filter time domain response has characteristic overshoot
and ringing. As a result of the ADC filter overshoot, input levels close to ADC full scale may cause clipping of the
ADC output code.

8.2.2.4 Digital Data Mode
In digital data mode, the DAC internal signal generator is bypassed and the DAC is driven instead by applying a
bitstream input. Arbitrary DAC output waveforms can be generated by application of custom digital data patterns.
The data format in this mode is ones-density modulated input at CLK/16 data rate (256 kHz). The input is applied
to the SW/TD input pin. The DAC1282 output in digital data mode is defined in Equation 3.
Digital Data Mode Differential Output = VOUTP – VOUTN = VREF/2 × Gain × (TD – 50%)/25%
where:
VREF is 5-V nominal,
Gain is the analog gain (1/1 to 1/64),
TD is the bitstream ones-density from 25% to 75%.
(3)
The DAC1282 filters the digital data (bitstream) input providing a voltage output proportional to the bitstream
ones-density. The GAIN[2:0] register sets the analog gain in 6-dB steps, from 0 dB to –36 dB (1/1 to 1/64); see
the SYNC section for the external timing requirements. Table 7 lists several values of the external bitstream
input.

8.2.3 Reference Voltage (VREF)
The DAC1282 requires an external reference for operation. Although reference voltage as low as 2.5 V can be
used, best SNR is achieved with a 5-V reference. The reference input is defined as the voltage difference
between VREF and AVSS (that is, VREF = VREF – AVSS). The DAC1282 output scales with VREF; consequently,
reference noise or drift appears on the DAC output. Excessive reference noise may lead to degraded SNR. A
low-drift and low-noise reference is recommended.
Connect the external reference ground pin directly to the AVSS pins using a star connector to AVSS pin 14. Star
connection minimizes the possibility of power-supply crosstalk. Also, connect a 0.1-µF capacitor close to the
VREF and AVSS terminals to reduce noise susceptibility. Figure 35 shows the reference connection. The
reference input impedance is 220 kΩ. In power-down the switch is off, resulting in very high input impedance. For
single-supply applications, connect AVSS to a clean analog ground point.

8.2.4 Output Filter (CAPP, CAPN)
The CAPP and CAPN pins are the connections for two external capacitors, one capacitor connects to CAPP and
VOUTP and the other capacitor connects to CAPN and VOUTN. The capacitors are required to filter the DAC
sampling noise. The capacitor values are 1 nF; capacitors with low voltage coefficients should be used (C0G
ceramic or film).
As seen in Figure 36, the external capacitors form an analog low-pass filter with the internal feedback resistors.
After step changes to the data in the sine, dc, and digital data modes, the settling of the DAC and the analog
filter is 100-µs typical, as shown in Figure 46. In pulse mode, the filter is internally disabled, yielding shorter
settling time.

8.2.5 Output Switch (SWINP, SWINN, SWOUTP, SWOUTN)
The DAC1282 has an integrated output switch. The switch can be used to route the DAC output signal to a
sensor for pulse, THD, and common-mode testing. The switch has low on-resistance and matched elements to
minimize signal distortion. The switch input voltage range extends to the analog power supply.
The switch is controlled by three register bits, SW[2:0], and is also controlled by the SW/TD input pin. The switch
integrates break-before-make operation when the register or the SW/TD input control is changed. The SW/TD
input can be used to force the switch open for precise timing control of sensor impulse testing; see the Switch
Control/DAC Data Input (SW/TD) section. Figure 37 and Table 8 describe the switch operation.

Note that when the DAC is in power-down mode, the switch is forced open.
As shown in Figure 29, the switch on-resistance varies with the switch signal level. When the switch is used to
route the signal and a resistive load is connected to the switch output, the switch on-resistance variations interact
with the load resistance and cause the THD to degrade. Figure 27 illustrates the dependence of THD versus
switch load resistance. The dependence of THD data was taken with a full-scale signal.

8.2.6 Clock Input (CLK)
The CLK pin is the master clock input to the DAC1282, nominally 4.096 MHz. As with any high-performance data
converter, a high-quality clock source is essential. A crystal oscillator or low-jitter PLL clock source is
recommended. Make sure to avoid ringing on the input by keeping the trace short and source-terminating
(typically 50 Ω). See the CLK specifications shown in Figure 38 and Table 9.

8.2.7 Switch Control/External Digital Input (SW/TD)
SW/TD is a multi-function digital input pin. The SW/TD function depends on the mode of operation.
8.2.7.1 SW Function
In sine, dc, and pulse mode, SW/TD controls the output switch. When SW/TD is low, all switches are forced
open, overriding the switch register setting (SW[2:0]). When SW/TD is high, the switch is transparent to the value
of register setting. In power-down mode, the switch is forced open.
8.2.7.2 TD Function
In digital input mode, SW/TD is the signal input used to drive the DAC. The data input are modulated by onesdensity and are clocked in by the master clock (CLK). When the ones-density is 75% (that is, on average, three
out of four bits are '1'), the differential output voltage is at the positive maximum value. When the ones-density is
25% (that is, on average, three out of four bits are '0'), the differential output voltage is at the negative maximum
value. When the ones-density is 50% (on average, an equal number of '0's and '1's), the differential output is
zero.
SW/TD is sampled by the DAC1282 at the rate of CLK/16. Therefore, the sampling can have ±8 CLK periods of
uncertainty. SYNC can be used to eliminate the uncertainty by synchronizing the phase of SW/TD to the desired
CLK cycle. Synchronizing the digital input results in a consistent phase of the output signal; see the SYNC
section.
The output range is set by the analog gain bits, GAIN[2:0]; see Table 3. Equation 3 describes the DAC output
versus the bitstream input ones-density. Make sure to avoid ringing on the input by keeping the trace short. In
some cases, source-terminating resistors may be necessary (20 Ω to 50 Ω).

8.2.8 SYNC
SYNC is a digital input used to synchronize the DAC1282 output.
In the digital data mode, the DAC input is a ones-density bitstream. In this mode, the SYNC pin synchronizes the
sampling of SW/TD digital data to the desired master clock cycle (CLK). When SYNC is low or high, the DAC
operates normally. When SYNC is taken from low to high, the DAC output is reset to zero and the sample instant
of SW/TD is reset to the eighth rising CLK edge that follows. The SW/TD is then regularly sampled on
subsequent 16 CLK intervals. After synchronization, the DAC output is not settled and achieves full settling 400
CLK periods later, as shown in Figure 39.

In sine mode, the SYNC rising edge resets the DAC output to differential 0 V (sine-wave zero-crossing point).
When SYNC is high or low, the output is unaffected. When SYNC is taken from low to high, the output resets on
the following CLK rising edge. SYNC must be pulsed low for a minimum of 2 CLK cycles. The SYNC input can
be applied simultaneous to the DAC and the ADS1282 (ADC in pulse-sync mode).
To synchronize the DAC, observe SYNC to the CLK timing requirements shown in Figure 40. That is, the SYNC
rising edge should be applied before the set-up time or after the hold time specifications. If the SYNC timing
requirement is not met, the DAC may synchronize with one clock cycle timing error.

When SYNC is low, the value of the PULSA register drives the DAC; when SYNC is high, the value of the

8.2.9 RESET/PWDN
The RESET/PWDN is a digital input used to power-down and reset the DAC1282. To power-down the DAC, take
the pin low. In power-down mode, the power consumption is reduced to a device leakage level (see the Electrical
Characteristics table). The signal output and digital pin DOUT enters 3-state and the output switch is driven off.
Note that the digital inputs must remain defined as either logic low or logic high; do not float the inputs. Disable
the CLK input to minimize leakage. To exit the power-down state, take the pin high. The DAC1282 is reset after
power-down mode is exited.
The DAC1282 is reset by taking the RESET/PWDN pin low for a minimum of two fCLK cycles and is then taken
back high. The DAC1282 is held in reset for 2 fCLK cycles; after this time, DAC communications may begin, as
shown in Figure 42 and Table 12.

8.2.10 AVDD, AVSS, and DVDD Power Supplies
The DAC1282 has two power supplies: analog and digital. The analog supply (AVDD, AVSS) is 5 V and can
either be single 5 V or dual (±2.5 V). The analog supply should be clean and free from noise and ripple. The
DAC1282 regulates the output common-mode voltage to 0.1 V below the mid-point of the analog supply.
Because the analog supply pins draw signal-dependent current and AVSS (pin 14) is internally shared with the
reference input low, trace resistance between AVSS (pin 14) and the AVSS power supply should be minimized or
degraded performance may result. Therefore, connect the external reference ground terminal close to the device
AVSS terminal using a star connection. This configuration helps to minimize power-supply coupling to the
reference input.
DVDD is the digital supply used to power both the internal digital and the device I/O pins. The allowable range of
DVDD is 1.65 V to 3.6 V.
The power supplies can be sequenced on or off in any order, but the analog or digital inputs should never
exceed AVDD or AVSS, or DVDD, respectively. In such an event, the internal ESD protection diodes may begin
to conduct. The input current must always be limited as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.

At power-on, when the latter of DVDD exceeds approximately 1.3 V, or the difference of AVDD – AVSS exceeds
approximately 1.4 V, an internal power-on reset (POR) occurs. During POR, the device is held in a reset
condition for a period of 216 fCLK periods as shown in Figure 43. During this time, the DAC1282 output is held at 0
V, differential. SPI communications are not possible during this time. After the reset time elapses, the default
settings are loaded: 31.25 Hz, 28 mVRMS amplitude, and output switch off. SPI communications can then be
started.

8.2.10.2 Offset and Gain Error
The DAC1282 features a low offset error ( ±7/Gain + 50 ppm FS typical) and low gain error (0.1 % typical). Offset
and gain drift are also very low for the DAC1282. Drift is calculated using the box calculation method of
Equation 4:
Drift Calculation = (Max – Min) / Temperature Range (ppm/°C)
Where:
Max and Min are, respectively, the maximum and minimum offset and gain errors (in ppm) recorded over the
specified temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
(4)
Gain match is the gain error of Gain = 1/1 relative to all analog gains.
8.2.10.3 Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
The DAC1282 achieves excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance. The SNR data are obtained using the
DAC circuit of Figure 50 and data captured by the ADS1282.
SNR is measured with a signal level of –0.5 dBFS and a 31.25-Hz test frequency, then taking the fast fourier
transform (FFT) of 4096 data points from the ADS1282, using complementing gains. The noise power is
calculated over the bandwidth of 413 Hz (1-ms sample period). The dc, fundamental, and harmonic bins are
removed to calculate the SNR. The SNR measurement represents the combination of the ADS1282 SNR and the
SNR of the DAC1282.

8.2.10.4 DC Noise
DC noise data are obtained using the DAC circuit of Figure 50 with data captured by the ADS1282. The noise is
measured in dc mode with the output voltage set to 0 V differential. The ADC gain is set to the complement of
the DAC gain for each output range. The noise is the standard deviation of 4096-point ADC acquisition record
(RMS noise, referred-to-output).
8.2.10.5 Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The DAC1282 achieves excellent THD performance. The THD data are obtained using the DAC circuit of
Figure 50 and captured by the ADS1282. The ADC gain is set to the complement of the DAC gain for each
output range.
THD is measured with a –0.5-dBFS output signal level and a 31.25-Hz test frequency, then taking the FFT of the
4096-point ADC acquisition record. The ADC data points are increased to 16,384 for gains of 1/16, 1/32, and
1/64 for improved rendition of harmonics as a result of the higher noise floor. The THD measurement represents
the combination of the ADS1282 THD and the DAC1282 THD.
8.2.11 Step Response
The step response of the DAC depends on the mode. In pulse mode, the DAC disables the external analog filter
formed by capacitors CAPP, CAPN. Disabling the analog filter in conjunction with the fast response pulse DAC
results in noticeably faster rise time and shorter settling time. Note that additional filter components in the signal
path may also affect the response time.
Figure 44 shows the pulse mode step response after the SYNC pin transition. Figure 45 shows the pulse mode
detail settling to 0.1% of final value after the SYNC pin transition.

8.2.12 Frequency Response
The DAC internal signal generator is capable of output signal frequencies from 0.489 Hz to 250 Hz. Frequencies
outside of this range are also possible by driving the DAC directly with an external digital input (bitstream).
However, the DAC low-pass filters the digital input and results in a sinx/x frequency response. The –3 dB signal
bandwidth of the DAC filter is 8.2 kHz. Figure 47 illustrates the DAC1282 frequency response. Note that highorder noise-shaped digital inputs may limit the useable frequency range as a result of rising noise.

8.3 Device Functional Modes
8.3.1 Serial Interface
Configuration of the DAC is by an SPI-compatible serial interface consisting of four signals: CS, SCLK, DIN, and
DOUT; or the interface can consist of three signals in which case CS may be tied low. Tying CS low permanently
selects the device and DOUT remains a driven output. The interface is used to read and write registers and also
is used to send a DAC reset command.
8.3.1.1 Serial Communications
DAC1282 communication occurs by clocking register data into the device (on DIN) and reading back register
data (on DOUT). The SCLK input is used to clock data into and out of the device. Data are input on the serial
clock (SCLK) rising edge and output on the SCLK falling edge. The communication protocol is half-duplex (that
is, data are transmitted to and from the device one direction at a time).
Communications to the device occur on 8-bit boundaries. If an unintentional SCLK transition should occur (such
as is possible from a noise spike), the DAC1282 command decoder can be out-of-sync and the serial port may
not respond properly. The serial port may reset in one of the following ways:
1. Take CS high to reset the interface
2. Hold SCLK inactive (low state) for 218 fCLK cycles to automatically reset the interface (see the SPI Timeout
section)
3. Take RESET/PWDN low then back high to reset the device and the interface
4. Cycle the power supplies for a power-on reset (POR)
8.3.1.2 Chip Select (CS)
CS (chip select) selects the DAC1282 for communication. To select the device, pull CS low. CS must remain low
for the duration of the command sequence. When CS is taken high, the serial interface is reset, input commands
are ignored, and DOUT enters a high-impedance state.
8.3.1.3 Serial Clock (SCLK)
The serial clock (SCLK) is a Schmitt-triggered input used to clock data into and out of the DAC1282. SCLK can
be idled high or low. If SCLK is idled low, the SPI timeout feature is active. If SCLK is idled high, the SPI timeout
feature is disabled.
Despite the built-in Schmitt-trigger, keep SCLK as clean as possible to prevent glitches from accidently shifting
the data. Series-terminated printed circuit board (PCB) traces often help to reduce ringing and overshoot (series
termination resistance is approximately 20 Ω to 50 Ω). If SCLK is held low for 218 fCLK periods, the serial interface
is reset. The timeout feature can be used to automatically recover the SPI port in the event of a noise glitch.
Avoid starting new commands after this time interval to prevent an unexpected serial port reset at the next
command instant.
8.3.1.4 Data Input (DIN)
DIN is the data input pin used to send data to the DAC. The DAC1282 latches DIN input data on the rising edge
of SCLK.
8.3.1.5 Data Output (DOUT)
DOUT is the data output pin used to read register data out of the DAC. The data are shifted out on the falling
edge of SCLK. DOUT enters a 3-state when CS is high.
8.3.2 SPI Timeout
The DAC has an SPI timeout feature that can be used to recover the SPI port if a possible noise pulse should
occur. The noise pulse may lead to a false SCLK detection that can render the DAC serial port unresponsive.
The port is recovered by taking CS high but, in applications where CS is tied low, holding SCLK low for 218 CLK
cycles resets the SPI port automatically. When SCLK is low, the SPI port resets on every 218 CLK cycle interval.
Holding SCLK high disables the automatic SPI reset.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
Figure 50 shows the basic DAC1282 connection. Bipolar analog supplies are shown (±2.5 V). Single-supply
operation is also possible with AVDD = 5 V and AVSS = GND. The digital supply range is 1.65 V to 3.6 V.
A low-noise, low-drift reference is recommended for best performance, such as the REF5050 (+5 V) and
REF5045 (+4.5 V). Best signal-to-noise ratio is achieved with a 5-V reference, although a 4.5-V reference
(REF5045) can be used with 1-dB loss in SNR. The 4.5-V reference can be operated from a 5-V supply. AVSS
(pin 14) is the key reference ground point and should be connected to the reference ground terminal using a star
connection. C1 and C2 are the required 1-nF output filter capacitors. The capacitors should be of the low voltcoefficient type (such as a COG ceramic or similar) and placed close to the device pins. Output resistors, R1 and
R2, decouple the DAC to ensure best performnace when driving capacitive loads. The output is shown routed to
the signal switch, providing a second, switched DAC output.

9.2.1 Single-Channel Seismic System
Figure 51 illustrates a single-channel data acquisition concept for seismic. The DAC1282 is used to test both the
ADC and geophone. The DAC1282 connects directly to channel 1 of the ADC. Tests of the ADC include THD,
pulse, input noise, common-mode, etc. The DAC output and ADC sample timing are controlled by the SYNC
input pins.
The geophone connects to channel 2 of the ADC through input protection and optional filter networks. The DAC
connects to the geophone using the integrated signal switch. Series resistors isolate the geophone from the DAC
output. Geophone test capabilities include impulse, THD, leakage, and common-mode.
