SLASEQ4A – OCTOBER 2018 – REVISED DECEMBER 2018
DACx3608 Octal, 10-Bit or 8-Bit, I2CTM Interface, Buffered Voltage Output DACs
in Tiny 3 × 3 WQFN Package
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The DAC53608 and DAC43608 (DACx3608) are lowpower, eight-channel, voltage-output, 10-bit or 8-bit
digital-to-analog converters (DACs) respectively. The
DACx3608 are specified monotonic by design across
a wide power supply range from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Using
an external reference, the DACx3608 provides a full
scale output voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V while
consuming 0.1-mA quiescent current per channel.
The DACx3608 also includes per channel, user
programmable, power down registers. These
registers facilitate the DAC output buffers to start in a
power down to 10K state and remain in this state until
a power up command is issued to these output
buffers.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The DAC53608 and DAC43608 are a pin-compatible family of eight-channel, buffered voltage-output digital-toanalog converters (DACs) in 10- and 8-bit resolution. With an external reference ranging from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, full
scale output voltage of 1.8 V to 5.5 V can be achieved. These devices are guaranteed monotonic across the
power supply range.
Communication to the devices is done through I2CTM compatible interface. The I2CTM standard (100 kbps), fast
(400 kbps), and fast+ mode (1Mbps) are supported for these devices. These devices include a load DAC (LDAC)
pin for simultaneous DAC update.
The DACx3608 devices are characterized for operation over the temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and are
available in tiny QFN packages.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) Architecture
Each output channel in the DACx3608 family of devices consists of string architecture with an output buffer
amplifier. Figure 54 shows a block diagram of the DAC architecture.

8.3.1.1 DAC Transfer Function
The device writes the input data to the individual DAC Data registers in straight binary format. After a power-on
or a reset event, the device sets all DAC registers to zero-code. Equation 1 shows DAC transfer function.

DACn_DATA is the decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to the DAC register
DACn_DATA ranges from 0 to 2N – 1

(1)
8.3.1.2 DAC Register Update and LDAC Functionality
The device stores the data written to the DAC Data registers in the DAC buffer registers. Transfer of data from
the DAC buffer registers to the DAC active registers can be set to happen immediately (asynchronous mode) or
initiated by an LDAC trigger (synchronous mode). Once the DAC active registers are updated, the DAC outputs
change to their new values.
The update mode for each DAC channel is determined by the status of LDAC pin.
In asynchronous mode (LDAC = 0 before the DAC write command), a write to the DAC data register results in an
immediate update of the DAC active register and DAC output at the end of I2CTM frame.
In synchronous mode (LDAC = 1 before the DAC write command), writing to the DAC data register does not
automatically update the DAC output. Instead the update occurs only after an LDAC is pulled to 0. The
synchronous update mode enables simultaneous update of all DAC outputs.
8.3.1.3 CLR Functionality
The CLR pin is an asynchronous input pin to the DAC. When this pin is pulled low (logic 0), the DAC buffers and
the DAC active registers to zero code.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.1.4 Output Amplifier
The output buffer amplifier generates rail-to-rail voltages on the output, giving a maximum output range of 0 V to
VDD. Equation 1 shows that the full-scale output range of the DAC output is determined by the voltage on the
VREFIN pin
8.3.2 Reference
The DACx3608 requires an external reference to operate. However, the reference pin VREFIN and the supply pin
VDD can be tied together. The reference input pin voltage ranges from 1.8 V to VDD. The typical input impedance
of this pin when all the channels are powered on is 12.5 kΩ.
8.3.3 Power-on-Reset (POR)
The DACx3608 family of devices includes a power-on reset (POR) function that controls the output voltage at
power up. After the VDD supply has been established, a POR event is issued. The POR causes all registers to
initialize to the default values, and communication with the device is valid only after a 5-ms after VDD reaches
DAC operating range. The default value for the DAC data registers is zero-code . The DAC output remains at the
power-up voltage until a valid command is written to a channel.
When the device powers up, a POR circuit sets the device to the default mode. The POR circuit requires specific
VDD levels, as indicated in Figure 55, in order to make sure that the internal capacitors discharge and reset the
device on power up. In order to make sure that a POR occurs, VDD must be less than 0.7 V for at least 1 ms.
When VDD drops to less than 1.7 V but remains greater than 0.7 V (shown as the undefined region), the device
may or may not reset under all specified temperature and power-supply conditions. In this case, initiate a POR.
When VDD remains greater than 1.7 V, a POR does not occur.

A device software reset event is initiated by writing the reserved code 0x1010 to the SW-RST bit in the
TRIGGER register (address 2h).
8.4 Device Functional Modes
The DACx3608 has two modes of operation: normal and power-down.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
8.4.1 Power-Down Mode
The DACx3608 DAC output amplifiers can be independently or globally powered down (10K to AGND) through the
DEVICE_CONFIG register. In this state, the device consumes 50 µA (VDD = 1.8 V). At power-up all output
channels buffer amplifiers start in power down to 10K mode until a power up command is issue by writing 0 to
the per channel power down registers.
8.5 Programming
The DACx3608 devices have a 2-wire serial interface: SCL, SDA, and one address pin, A0, as shown in Pin
Configurations and Functions. The I2CTM bus consists of a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) with pull-up
structures. When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high. All the I2CTM compatible devices
connects to the I2CTM bus through open drain I/O pins, SDA and SCL.
The I2CTM specification states that the device that controls communication is called a master, and the devices
that are controlled by the master are called slaves. The master device generates the SCL signal. The master
device also generates special timing conditions (start condition, repeated start condition, and stop condition) on
the bus to indicate the start or stop of a data transfer. Device addressing is completed by the master. The master
device on an I2CTM bus is typically a microcontroller or a digital signal processor (DSP). The DACx3608 family
operates as a slave device on the I2CTM bus. A slave device acknowledges master's commands and upon
master's control, receives or transmits data.
Typically, the DACx3608 family operates as a slave receiver. A master device writes to the DACx3608, a slave
receiver. However, if a master device requires the DACx3608 internal register data, the DACx3608 family
operates as a slave transmitter. In this case, the master device reads from the DACx3608 According to I2CTM
terminology, read and write refer to the master device.
The DACx3608 family is a slave and supports the following data transfer modes:
• Standard mode (100 kbps)
• Fast mode (400 kbps)
• Fast+ mode (1.0 Mbps)
The data transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same, therefore they are referred to as F/Smode in this document. The fast+ mode protocol is supported in terms of data transfer speed, but not output
current. The low-level output current would be 3 mA similar to the case of standard and fast modes. The
DACx3608 family supports 7-bit addressing. The 10-bit addressing mode is not supported. The device supports
the general call reset function. Sending the following sequence initiates a software reset within the device;
Start/Repeated Start, 0x00, 0x06, Stop. The reset is asserted within the device on the rise edge of the ACK bit,
following the second byte.
Other than specific timing signals, the I2CTM interface works with serial bytes. At the end of each byte, a ninth
clock cycle generates and detects an acknowledge signal. Acknowledge is when the SDA line is pulled low
during the high period of the ninth clock cycle. A not-acknowledge is when the SDA line is left high during the
high period of the ninth clock cycle as shown in Figure 56.

2. The master then generates the SCL pulses, and transmits the 7-bit address and the read/write direction bit
(R/W) on the SDA line. During all transmissions, the master ensures that data is valid. A valid data condition
requires the SDA line to be stable during the entire high period of the clock pulse, as shown in Figure 58. All
devices recognize the address sent by the master and compare it to their internal fixed addresses. Only the
slave device with a matching address generates an acknowledge by pulling the SDA line low during the
entire high period of the 9th SCL cycle, as shown in Figure 56 by pulling the SDA line low during the entire
high period of the 9th SCL cycle. Upon detecting this acknowledge, the master knows the communication link
with a slave has been established.
3. The master generates further SCL cycles to transmit (R/W bit 0) or receive (R/W bit 1) data to the slave. In
either case, the receiver must acknowledge the data sent by the transmitter. So the acknowledge signal can
be generated by the master or by the slave, depending on which one is the receiver. The 9-bit valid data
sequences consists of 8-data bits and 1 acknowledge-bit, and can continue as long as necessary.
4. To signal the end of the data transfer, the master generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line from low
to high while the SCL line is high (see Figure 57). This action releases the bus and stops the communication
link with the addressed slave. All I2CTM-compatible devices recognize the stop condition. Upon receipt of a
stop condition, the bus is released, and all slave devices then wait for a start condition followed by a
matching address.

8.5.2 DACx3608 I2CTM Update Sequence
For a single update, the DACx3608 requires a start condition, a valid I2CTM address byte, a command byte, and
two data bytes ( the most significant data byte (MSDB) and least significant data byte (LSDB)), as listed in
Table 1.

After each byte is received, the DACx3608 family acknowledges the byte by pulling the SDA line low during the
high period of a single clock pulse, as shown in Figure 59. These four bytes and acknowledge cycles make up
the 36 clock cycles required for a single update to occur. A valid I2CTM address byte selects the DACx3608
devices.

Figure 59. I2CTM Bus Protocol
The command byte sets the operational mode of the selected DACx3608 device. When the operational mode is
selected by this byte, the DACx3608 series must receive two data bytes, the most significant data byte (MSDB)
and least significant data byte (LSDB), for a data update to occur. The DACx3608 devices perform an update on
the falling edge of the acknowledge signal that follows the LSDB.
When using fast mode (clock = 400 kHz), the maximum DAC update rate is limited to 22.22 kSPS. Using the
fast+ mode (clock = 1 MHz), the maximum DAC update rate is limited to 55.55 kSPS. When a stop condition is
received, the DACx3608 family releases the I2CTM bus and awaits a new start condition.
8.5.3 DACx3608 Address Byte
The address byte, as shown in Table 2, is the first byte received following the START condition from the master
device. The first four bits (MSBs) of the address are factory preset to 1001. The next 3 bits of the address are
controlled by the A0 pin. The A0 pin input can be connected to VDD, AGND, SCL, or SDA. The A0 pin is sampled
during the first byte of each data frame to determine the address. The device latches the value of the address pin
and consequently will respond to that particular address according to Table 3.

The DACx3608 family supports broadcast addressing. Broadcast addressing can be used for synchronously
updating or powering down multiple DACx3608 devices. The DACx3608 family is designed to work with other
members of the family to support multichip synchronous update. Using the broadcast address, the DACx3608
devices respond regardless of the states of the address pins. Broadcast is supported only in write mode.

8.5.6 DACx3608 I2CTM Read Sequence
To read any register the following command sequence must be used:
1. Send a start or repeated start command with a slave address and the R/W bit set to 0 for writing. The device
acknowledges this event.
2. Send a command byte for the register to be read. The device acknowledges this event again.
3. Send a repeated start with the slave address and the R/W bit set to '1' for reading. The device acknowledges
this event.
4. The device writes the MSDB byte of the addressed register. The master must acknowledge this byte.
5. Finally, the device writes out the LSDB of the register.

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
The DACx3608 is a buffered output, 8-channel, low power DAC available in a tiny 3X3 package. The multichannel, low power, and small package makes this DAC suitable for general purpose applications in wide range
of end equipments. Some of the most common applications for this devices are LED biasing in multi-function
printers, power supply supervision with programmable comparators, offset and gain trimming in precision circuits,
and power supply margining.
9.2 Typical Applications
9.2.1 Programmable LED Biasing
End equipments such as multi-function printers, projectors and electronic point-of-sale (EPOS) require a steady
luminous intensity from the LED. Figure 64 shows a simplified circuit diagram for biasing an LED using
DACx3608.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The DAC is used to set the source current of a MOSFET using a unity-gain buffer as shown in Figure 64. The
LED is connected between the power supply and the drain of the MOSFET. This configuration allows the DAC to
control or set the amount of current through the LED. The buffer following the DAC controls the gate-source
voltage of the MOSFET inside the feedback loop thus compensating this drop and corresponding drift due to
temperature, current, and ageing of the MOSFET. The current set by the DAC that flows through the LED can be
calculated with Equation 2. in order to generate 0 – 20mA from a 0 – 5 V DAC output range, a 250-Ω RSETis
required.

9.2.2 Programmable Window Comparator
End equipments that use a centralized power supply such as network servers, optical modules, and others
require the monitoring of power buses in order to protect the components. This monitoring or supervision is
accomplished using a window comparator. A window comparator monitors a signal input for upper and lower
threshold violations. A trigger signal is generated when the threshold violations occur. Multi-channel monitoring is
required in order to supervise all power supplies available in a module. DACx3608 provides a easy to use, lowfootprint method to address this requirement.

Low Threshold: 5 V – 10%
Trigger Output: 3.3-V Open-Drain Single Output
9.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Figure 66 provides an example in which single DAC channel is used to compare both high and low thresholds. A
dual comparator is used per DAC channel as shown. A voltage divider formed by resistors RA and RB are used in
order to bring the signal level within the DAC range. Another pair of resistors R1 and R2 are used for setting the
low threshold as a factor of the high threshold. This configuration allows the use of a single DAC channel for
monitoring both high and low threshold levels. The comparators should be open-drain in order to provide the
following advantages.
• Generate a logic output level suitable for the monitoring processor
• Allow shorting of the two outputs in order to generate a single trigger
In the circuit depicted in Figure 66 the output of the circuit remains HIGH as long as the signal input remains
within the high and low threshold levels. Upon violation of any one threshold, the output goes LOW. Equation 3
provides the derivation of the low threshold voltage from the high threshold set by the DAC.

Typical Applications (continued)
In order to monitor a power supply of 5 V within ±10%, it is recommended to place the nominal value at the DAC
mid code. The output range of DACx3608 to be 0 – 5 V, thus the mid code voltage output is 2.5 V. Hence, RA
and RB can be chosen in such a way that the voltage to be compared is 2.5 V. For this example, RA is equal to
RB and we can use 10-kΩ resistors for both of them. One channel of the DACx3608 must be programmed to
VTHLD-HI, for example 2.5 V + 5% = 2.625 V. This corresponds to a 10-bit DAC code of (210÷5 V) × 2.625 V =
537.6 (0x21 Ah). In order to generate VTHLD-LO(for example, 2.5 V – 5% = 2.405 V) from 2.625 V, the values of R1
and R2 can be calculated as 7.5 kΩ and 82 kΩ, respectively using Equation 3. The pseudocode for getting
started with the programmable window comparator application with the desired DAC value is given below.
//SYNTAX: WRITE ,
//Power-up the device and channels
WRITE DEVICE_CONFIG(0x01), 0x0000
//Program 2.625V on channel A

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The DACx3608 family of devices does not require specific supply sequencing. It requires a single power supply,
VDD. A 0.1-µF decoupling capacitor is recommended for the VDD pin.
