Low-Power Serial Interface with
Schmitt-Triggered Inputs
On-Chip Output Buffer Amplifier with
Rail-to-Rail Operation
Double-Buffered Input Architecture
Simultaneous or Sequential Output Update
and Power-down
Available in a Tiny MSOP-8 Package
The DAC8552 is a 16-bit, dual channel, voltage
output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) offering low
power operation and a flexible serial host interface.
Each on-chip precision output amplifier allows
rail-to-rail output swing to be achieved over the
supply range of 2.7V to 5.5V. The device supports a
standard 3-wire serial interface capable of operating
with input data clock frequencies up to 30MHz for
VDD = 5V.
The DAC8552 requires an external reference voltage
to set the output range of each DAC channel. Also
incorporated into the device is a power-on reset
circuit which ensures that the DAC outputs power up
at zero-scale and remain there until a valid write
takes place. The DAC8552 provides a flexible
power-down feature, accessed over the serial
interface, that reduces the current consumption of
the device to 700nA at 5V.
The low-power consumption of this device in normal
operation makes it ideally suited for portable,
battery-operated equipment and other low-power
applications. The power consumption is 0.5mW per
channel at 2.7V, reducing to 1µW in power-down
mode.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The architecture of each channel of the DAC8552

Where:
D = decimal equivalent of the binary code that is
loaded to the DAC register; it can range from 0
to 65535.
VOUTA,B refers to channel A or B.
R
RESISTOR STRING
Figure 42. Resistor String
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 42. It is
simply a divide-by-2 resistor followed by a string of
resistors, each of value R. The code loaded into the
DAC register determines at which node on the string
the voltage is tapped off. This voltage is then applied
to the output amplifier by closing one of the switches
connecting the string to the amplifier.
OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
Each output buffer amplifier is capable of generating
rail-to-rail voltages on its output which approaches
an output range of 0V to VDD (gain and offset errors
must be taken into account). Each buffer is capable
of driving a load of 2kΩ in parallel with 1000pF to
GND. The source and sink capabilities of the output
amplifier can be seen in the Typical Characteristics.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The DAC8552 uses a 3-wire serial interface (SYNC,
SCLK, and DIN) that is compatible with SPI™,
QSP™, and Microwire™ interface standards, as well
as most DSPs. See the Serial Write Operation
Timing Diagram for an example of a typical write
sequence.
The write sequence begins by bringing the SYNC
line LOW. Data from the DIN line are clocked into the
24-bit shift register on each falling edge of SCLK.
The serial clock frequency can be as high as 30MHz,
making the DAC8552 compatible with high speed
DSPs. On the 24th falling edge of the serial clock,
the last data bit is clocked into the shift register and
the shift register is locked. Further clocking does not
change the shift register data. Once 24 bits are
locked into the shift register, the eight MSBs are
used as control bits and the 16 LSBs are used as
data. After receiving the 24th falling clock edge, the
DAC8552 decodes the eight control bits and 16 data
bits to perform the required function, without waiting
for a SYNC rising edge. A new SPI sequence starts
at the next falling edge of SYNC. A rising edge of
SYNC before the 24-bit sequence is complete resets
the SPI interface; no data transfer occurs.
After the 24th falling edge of SCLK is received, the
SYNC line may be kept LOW or brought HIGH. In
either case, the minimum delay time from the 24th
falling SCLK edge to the next falling SYNC edge
must be met in order to properly begin the next

the device, care should be taken that the levels are
as close to each rail as possible. (See the Typical
Characteristics section for the Supply Current vs
Logic Input Voltage transfer characteristic curve).
the destination of the data (or power-down
command) between DAC A and DAC B. The final
two control bits, PD0 (DB16) and PD1 (DB17), select
the power-down mode of one or both of the DAC
channels. The four modes are normal mode or any
one of three power-down modes. A more complete
description of the operational modes of the DAC8552
can be found in the Power-Down Modes section. The
remaining 16 bits of the 24-bit input word make up
the data bits. These bits are transferred to the
specified Data Buffer or DAC Register, depending on
the command issued by the control byte, on the 24th
falling edge of SCLK. See Table 1 and Table 2 for
more information.
INPUT SHIFT REGISTER
The input shift register of the DAC8552 is 24 bits
wide (shown in Figure 43) and is made up of eight
control bits (DB16–DB23) and 16 data bits
(DB0–DB15). The first two control bits (DB22 and
DB23) are reserved and must be '0' for proper
operation. LDA (DB20) and LD B (DB21) control the
updating of each analog output with the specified
16-bit data value or power- down command. Bit
DB19 is a don't care bit that does not affect the
operation of the DAC8552, and can be '1' or '0'. The

SYNC INTERRUPT
In a normal write sequence, the SYNC line is kept
LOW for at least 24 falling edges of SCLK and the
addressed DAC register is updated on the 24th
falling edge. However, if SYNC is brought HIGH
before the 24th falling edge, it acts as an interrupt to
the write sequence; the shift register is reset and the
write sequence is discarded. Neither an update of
the data buffer contents, DAC register contents nor a
change in the operating mode occurs, as shown in
Figure 45.
POWER-ON RESET
3V). Not only does the supply current fall, but the
output stage is also internally switched from the
output of the amplifier to a resistor network of known
values. This configuration has the advantage that the
output impedance of the device is known while it is in
power-down mode. There are three different options
for power-down: The output is connected internally to
GND through a 1kΩ resistor, a 100kΩ resistor, or it is
left open-circuited (High-Impedance). The output
stage is illustrated in Figure 44.

High impedance
The DAC8552 contains a power-on reset circuit that
controls the output voltage during power-up. Upon
power-up, the DAC registers are filled with zeros and
the output voltages are set to zero-scale; they
remain that way until a valid write sequence and load
command are made to the respective DAC channel.
The power-on reset is useful in applications where it
is important to know the state of the output of each
DAC output while the device is in the process of
powering up.

POWER-DOWN MODES
The DAC8552 usees four modes of operation. These
modes are accessed by setting two bits (PD1 and
PD0) in the control register to one or both DACs.
Table 3 shows how the state of the bits correspond
to the register and perform a mode of operation on
each channel of the device. (Each DAC channel can
be powered down simultaneously or independently of
each other. Power-down occurs after proper data is
written into PD0 and PD1 and a Load command
occurs.) See the Operation Examples section for
additional information.
When both bits are set to '0', the device works
normally with a typical power consumption of 450µA
at 5V. For the three power-down modes, however,
the supply current falls to 700nA at 5V (400nA at
Figure 44. Output Stage During Power-Down
(High Impedance)
All analog circuitry is shut down when the
power-down mode is activated. Each DAC will exit
power-down when PD0 and PD1 are set to '0', new
data is written to the Data Buffer, and the DAC
channel receives a Load command. The time to exit
power-down is typically 2.5µs for VDD = 5V and 5µs
for VDD = 3V (see the Typical Characteristics).

MICROPROCESSOR INTERFACING
DAC8552 to 8051 INTERFACE
DAC8552 to 68HC11 INTERFACE
Figure 46 shows a serial interface between the
DAC8552 and a typical 8051-type microcontroller.
The setup for the interface is as follows: TXD of the
8051 drives SCLK of the DAC8552, while RXD
drives the serial data line of the device. The SYNC
signal is derived from a bit-programmable pin on the
port of the 8051. In this case, port line P3.3 is used.
When data are to be transmitted to the DAC8552,
P3.3 is taken LOW. The 8051 transmits data in 8-bit
bytes; thus, only eight falling clock edges occur in
the transmit cycle. To load data to the DAC, P3.3 is
left LOW after the first eight bits are transmitted, then
a second and third write cycle are initiated to
transmit the remaining data. P3.3 is taken HIGH
following the completion of the third write cycle. The
8051 outputs the serial data in a format that presents
the LSB first, while the DAC8552 requires its data
with the MSB as the first bit received. The 8051
transmit routine must therefore take this into account,
and mirror the data as needed
Figure 48 shows a serial interface between the
DAC8552 and the 68HC11 microcontroller. SCK of
the 68HC11 drives the SCLK of the DAC8552, while
the MOSI output drives the serial data line of the
DAC. The SYNC signal is derived from a port line
(PC7), similar to the 8051 diagram.

The 68HC11 should be configured so that its CPOL
bit is '0' and its CPHA bit is '1'. This configuration
causes data appearing on the MOSI output to be
valid on the falling edge of SCK. When data are
being transmitted to the DAC, the SYNC line is held
LOW (PC7). Serial data from the 68HC11 are
transmitted in 8-bit bytes with only eight falling clock
edges occurring in the transmit cycle. (Data are
transmitted MSB first.) In order to load data to the
DAC8552, PC7 is left LOW after the first eight bits
are transferred, then a second and third serial write
operation are performed to the DAC. PC7 is taken
HIGH at the end of this procedure.

Figure 47 shows an interface between the DAC8552

SK signal.
Figure 49 shows the connections between the
