The DAC8574 is a low-power, quad channel, 16-bit
buffered voltage output DAC. Its on-chip precision
output amplifier allows rail-to-rail output swing to be
achieved. The DAC8574 utilizes an I2C compatible
two wire serial interface supporting high-speed
interface mode with address support of up to sixteen
DAC8574s for a total of 64 channels on the bus.
The DAC8574 requires an external reference voltage
to set the output range of the DAC. The DAC8574
incorporates a power-on-reset circuit that ensures
that the DAC output powers up at zero volts and
remains there until a valid write takes place to the
device. The DAC8574 contains a power-down feature, accessed via the internal control register, that
reduces the current consumption of the device to 200
nA at 5 V.
The low power consumption of this part in normal
operation makes it ideally suited to portable battery
operated equipment. The power consumption is less
than 5 mW at VDD = 5 V reducing to 1 µW in
power-down mode.
The DAC8574 is available in a 16-lead TSSOP
package.

SLAS377B – JANUARY 2003 – REVISED DECEMBER 2004
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
D/A SECTION
The architecture of the DAC8574 consists of a string DAC followed by an output buffer amplifier. Figure 45
shows a generalized block diagram of the DAC architecture.

Figure 45. R-String DAC Architecture
The input coding to the DAC8574 is unsigned binary, which gives the ideal output voltage as:
V OUT VREFL (VREFH VREFL) D
65536
Where D = decimal equivalent of the binary code that is loaded to the DAC register; it can range from 0 to
65535.
RESISTOR STRING
The resistor string section is shown in Figure 46. It is basically 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 to be fed into the output amplifier by closing one of the switches connecting the string to the
amplifier. Because the architecture consists of a string of resistors, it is specified monotonic.

Output Amplifier
The output buffer is a gain-of-2 noninverting amplifiers, capable of generating rail-to-rail voltages on its output,
which gives an output range of 0V to VDD. It is capable of driving a load of 2 kΩ in parallel with 1000 pF to GND.
The source and sink capabilities of the output amplifier can be seen in the typical curves. The slew rate is 1 V/µs
with a half-scale settling time of 8 µs with the output unloaded.
I2C Interface
I2C is a 2-wire serial interface developed by Philips Semiconductor (see I2C-Bus Specification, Version 2.1,
January 2000). The bus consists of a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) with pullup structures. When the bus
is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high. All the I2C compatible devices connect to the I2C bus through
open drain I/O pins, SDA and SCL. A master device, usually a microcontroller or a digital signal processor,
controls the bus. The master is responsible for generating the SCL signal and device addresses. The master also
generates specific conditions that indicate the START and STOP of data transfer. A slave device receives and/or
transmits data on the bus under control of the master device.
14
DAC8574
www.ti.com
SLAS377B – JANUARY 2003 – REVISED DECEMBER 2004
THEORY OF OPERATION (continued)
The DAC8574 works as a slave and supports the following data transfer modes, as defined in the I2C-Bus
Specification: standard mode (100 kbps), fast mode (400 kbps), and high-speed mode (3.4 Mbps). The data
transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same, therefore they are referred to as F/S-mode in
this document. The protocol for high-speed mode is different from the F/S-mode, and it is referred to as
HS-mode. The DAC8574 supports 7-bit addressing; 10-bit addressing, and general call address are not
supported.
F/S-Mode Protocol
•
•
•
•
The master initiates data transfer by generating a start condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low
transition occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, as shown in Figure 47. All I2C-compatible devices should
recognize a start condition.
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 (see Figure 48). 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 (see Figure 49) by pulling the SDA line low
during the entire high period of the 9th SCL cycle. Upon detecting this acknowledge, the master knows that
communication link with a slave has been established.
The master generates further SCL cycles to either transmit data to the slave (R/W bit 1) or receive data from
the slave (R/W bit 0). In either case, the receiver needs to acknowledge the data sent by the transmitter. So
acknowledge signal can either be generated by the master or by the slave, depending on which one is the
receiver. 9-bit valid data sequences consisting of 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge can continue as long as
necessary.
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 47). This releases the bus and stops the communication link
with the addressed slave. All I2C compatible devices must recognize the stop condition. Upon the receipt of a
stop condition, all devices know that the bus is released, and they wait for a start condition followed by a
matching address.
H/S-Mode Protocol
•
•
•
When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high by the pullup devices.
The master generates a start condition followed by a valid serial byte containing H/S master code
00001XXX. This transmission is made in F/S-mode at no more than 400 Kbps. No device is allowed to
acknowledge the H/S master code, but all devices must recognize it and switch their internal setting to
support 3.4 Mbps operation.
The master then generates a repeated start condition (a repeated start condition has the same timing as the
start condition). After this repeated start condition, the protocol is the same as F/S-mode, except that
transmission speeds up to 3.4 Mbps are allowed. A stop condition ends the H/S-mode and switches all the
internal settings of the slave devices to support the F/S-mode. Instead of using a stop condition, repeated
start conditions should be used to secure the bus in H/S-mode.

DAC8574 I C Update Sequence
The DAC8574 requires a start condition, a valid I2C address, a control byte, an MSB byte, and an LSB byte for a
single update. After the receipt of each byte, DAC8574 acknowledges by pulling the SDA line low during the high
period of a single clock pulse. A valid I2C address selects the DAC8574. The control byte sets the operational
mode of the selected DAC8574. Once the operational mode is selected by the control byte, DAC8574 expects an
MSB byte followed by an LSB byte for data update to occur. DAC8574 performs an update on the falling edge of
the acknowledge signal that follows the LSB byte.
Control byte needs not to be resent until a change in operational mode is required. The bits of the control byte
continuously determine the type of update performed. Thus, for the first update, DAC8574 requires a start
condition, a valid I2C address, a control byte, an MSB byte and an LSB byte. For all consecutive updates,
DAC8574 needs an MSB byte and an LSB byte as long as the control command remains the same.
Using the I2C high-speed mode (fscl= 3.4 MHz), the clock running at 3.4 MHz, each 16-bit DAC update other than
the first update can be done within 18 clock cycles (MSB byte, acknowledge signal, LSB byte, acknowledge
signal), at 188.88 KSPS. Using the fast mode (fscl= 400 kHz), clock running at 400 kHz, maximum DAC update
rate is limited to 22.22 KSPS. Once a stop condition is received DAC8574 releases the I2C bus and awaits a new
start condition.

The address byte is the first byte received following the START condition from the master device. The first five
bits (MSBs) of the address are factory preset to 10011. The next two bits of the address are the device select
bits A1 and A0. The A1, A0 address inputs can be connected to VDD or digital GND, or can be actively driven by
TTL/CMOS logic levels. The device address is set by the state of these pins during the power-up sequence of
the DAC8574. Up to 16 devices (DAC8574) can still be connected to the same I2C-Bus.

DAC857x and DAC757x families to support multichannel synchronous update. Using the broadcast address,
DAC8574 responds regardless of the states of the address pins. Broadcast is supported only in write mode
(Master writes to DAC8574).

11
Broadcast update mode. This mode has two functions. In broadcast mode, DAC8574 responds
regardless of local address matching, and channel selection becomes irrelevant as all channels update.

Most Significant Byte MSB[7:0] consists of eight most significant bits of 16-bit unsigned binary D/A conversion
data. C0=1, MSB[7], MSB[6] indicate a powerdown operation as shown in Table 8.
Least Significant Byte
Least Significant Byte LSB[7:0] consists of the 8 least significant bits of the 16bit unsigned binary D/A conversion
data. DAC8574 updates at the falling edge of the acknowledge signal that follows the LSB[0] bit.
Default Readback Condition
If the user initiates a readback of a specified channel without first writing data to that specified channel, the
default readback is all zeros, since the readback register is initialized to 0 during the power on reset phase.

LDAC Functionality
Depending on the control byte, DACs are synchronously updated on the falling edge of the acknowledge signal
that follows LS byte. The LDAC pin is required only when an external timing signal is used to update all the
channels of the DAC asynchronously. LDAC is a positive edge triggered asynchronous input that allows four
DAC output voltages to be updated simultaneously with temporary register data. The LDAC trigger should only
be used after the buffers temporary registers are properly updated through software.

Master Transmitter Writing to a Slave Receiver (DAC8574) in Standard/Fast Modes
All write access sequences begin with the device address (with R/W = 0) followed by the control byte. This
control byte specifies the operation mode of DAC8574 and determines which channel of DAC8574 is being
accessed in the subsequent read/write operation. The LSB of the control byte (PD0-Bit) determines if the
following data is power-down data or regular data.
With (PD0-Bit = 0) the DAC8574 expects to receive data in the following sequence HIGH-BYTE –LOW-BYTE –
HIGH-BYTE – LOW-BYTE..., until a STOP Condition or REPEATED START Condition on the I2C-Bus is
recognized (refer to the DATA INPUT MODE section of Table 4).
With (PD0-Bit = 1) the DAC8574 expects to receive 2 Bytes of power-down data (refer to the POWER DOWN
MODE section of Table 4).

Master Transmitter Writing to a Slave Receiver (DAC8574) in HS Mode
When writing data to the DAC8574 in HS-mode, the master begins to transmit what is called the HS-Master
Code (0000 1XXX) in F/S-mode. No device is allowed to acknowledge the HS-Master Code, so the HS-Master
Code is followed by a NOT acknowledge.
The master then switches to HS-mode and issues a repeated start condition, followed by the address byte (with
R/W = 0) after which the DAC8574 acknowledges by pulling SDA low. This address byte is usually followed by
the control byte, which is also acknowledged by the DAC8574. The LSB of the control byte (PD0-Bit) determines
if the following data is power-down data or regular data.
With (PD0-Bit = 0) the DAC8574 expects to receive data in the following sequence HIGH-BYTE – LOW-BYTE –
HIGH-BYTE – LOW-BYTE...., until a STOP condition or repeated start condition on the I2C-Bus is recognized
(refer to Table 5 HS-MODE WRITE SEQUENCE - DATA).
With (PD0-Bit = 1) the DAC8574 expects to receive 2 bytes of power-down data (refer to Table 5 HS-MODE
WRITE SEQUENCE - POWER DOWN).

Master Receiver Reading From a Slave Transmitter (DAC8574) in Standard/Fast Modes
When reading data back from the DAC8574, the user begins with an address byte (with R/W = 0) after which the
DAC8574 will acknowledge by pulling SDA low. This address byte is usually followed by the Control Byte, which
is also acknowledged by the DAC8574. Following this there is a REPEATED START condition by the Master and
the address is resent with (R/W = 1). This is acknowledged by the DAC8574, indicating that it is prepared to
transmit data. Two or three bytes of data are then read back from the DAC8574, depending on the (PD0-Bit).
The value of Buff-Sel1 and Buff-Sel0 determines, which channel data is read back. A STOP Condition follows.
With the (PD0-Bit = 0) the DAC8574 transmits 2 bytes of data, HIGH-BYTE followed by the LOW-BYTE (refer to
Table 2. Data Readback Mode - 2 bytes).
With the (PD0-Bit = 1) the DAC8574 transmits 3 bytes of data, POWER-DOWN-BYTE followed by the
HIGH-BYTE followed by the LOW-BYTE (refer to Table 2. Data Readback Mode - 3 bytes).

SLAS377B – JANUARY 2003 – REVISED DECEMBER 2004
Power-On Reset
The DAC8574 contains a power-on-reset circuit that controls the output voltage during power up. On power up,
the DAC register is filled with zeros and the output voltage is 0 V; it remains there until a valid write sequence is
made to the DAC. This is useful in applications where it is important to know the state of the output of the DAC
while it is in the process of powering up. No device pin should be brought high before supply is applied.
Power-Down Modes
The DAC8574 contains four separate power-down modes of operation. The modes are programmable via two
most significant bits of the MSB byte, while (CTRL[0] = PD0 = 1). Table 8 shows how the state of these bits
correspond to the mode of operation of the device.

High Impedance
When (CTRL[0] = PD0 = 0), the device works normally with its normal power consumption of 250 µA at 5 V per
channel. However, for the three power-down modes, the supply current falls to 200 nA at 5 V (50 nA at 3 V). Not
only does the supply current fall but also the output stage is also internally switched from the output of the
amplifier to a resistor network of known values. This has the advantage that the output impedance of the device
is known while in power-down mode. There are three different options: The output is connected internally to GND
through a 1-kΩ resistor, a 100 kΩ resistor or left open-circuit (high impedance). The output stage is illustrated in
Figure 55.

Figure 55. Output Stage During Power Down
All linear circuitry is shut down when the power-down mode is activated. However, the contents of the DAC
register are unaffected when in power-down. The time to exit power down is typically 2.5 µs for VDD = 5 V and 5
µs for VDD = 3 V. (See the Typical Curves section for additional information.)
The DAC8574 offers a flexible power-down interface based on channel register operation. A channel consists of
a single 16-bit DAC with power-down circuitry, a temporary storage register (TR) and a DAC register (DR). TR
and DR are both 18 bits wide. Two MSBs represent the power-down condition and the 16 LSBs represent data
for TR and DR. By using bits 17 and 18 of TR and DR, a power-down condition can be temporarily stored and
used just like data. Internal circuits ensure that MSB[7] and MSB[6] get transferred to TR[17] and TR[16] (DR[17]
and DR[16]) when the power-down flag (CTRL[0] = PD0) is set. Therefore, DAC8574 treats power-down
conditions like data and all the operational modes are still valid for power down. It is possible to broadcast a
power-down condition to all the DAC8574s in the system, or it is possible to simultaneously power down a
channel while updating data on other channels.

CURRENT CONSUMPTION
The DAC8574 typically consumes 225 µA at VDD = 5 V and 200 µA at VDD = 3 V for each active channel,
including reference current consumption. Additional current consumption can occur at the digital inputs if VIH
