3 Description
The DAC8742H is a HART®, FOUNDATION
Fieldbus™, and PROFIBUS PA compatible low
power modem designed for industrial process control
and industrial automation applications.
In HART mode, the DAC8742H integrates all of the
required circuitry to operate as half-duplex HART
physical layer modems, in either slave or master
configurations with minimal external components for
filtering. In FOUNDATION Fieldbus mode, the
DAC8742H integrates all of the required circuitry to
operate as half-duplex FOUNDATION Fieldbus
compatible H1 Controllers and MAUs.
The HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, or PROFIBUS
PA, data stream can be transferred from the
microcontroller through either a UART interface or an
integrated FIFO accessed by a SPI interface. The
SPI interface includes an SDO pin for daisy-chain
support, various interrupts, and other extended
features.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 HART Modulator
In SPI mode, HART data is loaded into a transmit FIFO via the SPI serial interface. In UART mode, the UART
BAUD rate matches the HART BAUD rate and therefore the FIFO is bypassed. In both cases the input data is
translated into the mark and space, 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz respectively, frequency shift keyed (FSK) analog
signals used in HART communication through an internal HART modulator.
The HART modulator implements a look-up table containing 32 6-bit signed values which represent a single
phase continuous sinusoidal cycle. A counter is implemented that incrementally loads the table values to a
Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), at a clock frequency determined by the binary value of the input data, in order
to create the mark and space analog output signals used to represent HART data.
The modem operates in half-duplex mode, unless placed in full-duplex mode, where the modulator and
demodulator are not active simultaneously. The modem arbitrates over which component is active. To request
that the modulator is activated UART devices toggle the RTS pin low, SPI devices toggle the RTS bit in the
MODEM CONTROL register. These mechanics are explained in more detail in the respective sections of Device
Functional Modes.
In HART mode the MOD_OUT pin requires parallel capacitance of 5-22 nF or 0-100 pF in FOUNDATION
Fieldbus and PROFIBUS PA mode for stability.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 HART Demodulator
The HART demodulator converts the HART FSK input signals applied at the MOD_IN or MOD_INF pins,
depending on whether an external filter is implemented, to binary data that is loaded into a receive FIFO in SPI
mode. Data in the receive FIFO can then be read by the host controller via SPI serial interface. In UART mode
received data is directly fed through to the UART interface.
When a valid carrier is detected on devices using the UART interfaces, the CD pin will toggle high. For devices
using the SPI interface, the IRQ pin will toggle indicating an alarm condition. The MODEM STATUS register can
then be read to determine the source of the interrupt, which includes a bit for carrier detection in DB1. Hysteresis
is implemented with the carrier detect feature in order to prevent erroneous carrier detection signals. More details
are explained in the respective Device Functional Modes sections.
7.3.3 FOUNDATION FIELDBUS / PROFIBUS PA Manchester Encoder
FOUNDATION FIELDBUS or PROFIBUS PA data is loaded into a transmit FIFO via UART or SPI interfaces
which is translated into the Manchester encoded binary analog signals used in both FOUNDATION FIELDBUS
and PROFIBUS PA bus protocols through an internal Manchester encoder.
The Manchester encoder interacts with the DAC to transmit positive and negative amplitude signals, with respect
to a positive common mode voltage, to create the Manchester encoded analog outputs at 31.25kHz BAUD. A
binary 0 is represented by a low-to-high transition and a binary 1 is represented by a high-to-low transition.
In both UART and SPI interfaced device, the encoder is activated any time there is data available in the transmit
FIFO and the decoder is not receiving data. In order to prevent FIFO buffer overflow, for UART mode the CD pin
acts as an interrupt to indicate when the FIFO level has exceed a programmed threshold in the packet initiation
code. In SPI mode the transmit FIFO threshold programmed in the FIFO LEVEL SET register can trigger an
interrupt on the IRQ pin. Once the IRQ interrupts is triggered, the MODEM STATUS register can then be read to
determine the source of the interrupt, which includes a bit for the FIFO level in DB4. More details are explained
in the respective Device Functional Modes sections.
7.3.4 FOUNDATION FIELDBUS / PROFIBUS PA Manchester Decoder
The FOUNDATION FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS PA decoder converts the Manchester encoded data applied at
the MOD_IN or MOD_INF pins, depending on whether an external filter is implemented, to binary data that is
loaded into a receive FIFO. Data in the receive FIFO can then be read by the host controller via UART or SPI
serial interfaces.
When valid data is provided to the decoder, binary data is read out serially on the UART interface. For SPI
devices, the receive FIFO is loaded until the threshold programmed in FIFO LEVEL SET is met which will trigger
an interrupt on the IRQ pin. The MODEM STATUS register can then be read to determine the source of the
interrupt, which includes a bit for the FIFO level in DB7, indicating that data is ready to be read on the SPI bus.
More details are explained in the respective Device Functional Modes sections.
7.3.5 Internal Reference
An internal reference is included in the DAC8742H. The REF_EN pin is used to enable or disable the internal
reference, when the internal reference is disabled an external reference must be provided at the REF pin. In SPI
mode, the PDVREF bit in the CONTROL register can be used to enable or disable the internal reference via
software. If the REF_EN pin is set high, the register contents of the PDVREF bit is ignored.

7.3.6 Clock Configuration
All of the devices in the DAC8742H family support a variety of clocking options in order to provide system
flexibility and reduce overall current consumption in HART applications. The clocking options include: an internal
oscillator (HART mode only), an external crystal oscillator, or an external CMOS clock. The selection of the
clocking scheme is controlled by the XEN, CLK_CFG1, and CLK_CFG0 pins as described in the table below.
The internal oscillator takes approximately 50 ms to start oscillating from when it is enabled. During this time
period the device is unable to perform modulation or demodulation activities.

7.3.7 Reset and Power-Down
The RST pin functions as both a hardware reset and a power-down. When the pin is brought low a reset is
issued, restoring all device components to their default state. While the pin is kept low, the device is in a powerdown state where the internal reference is disabled, the modulator and demodulator or encoder and decoder are
disabled, serial data output lines are high-impedance, MOD_OUT impedance is set to 70 kΩ, and the clock
output is disabled. If an external crystal oscillator is used, the crystal oscillator circuit remains active to reduce
start-up time when exiting the power-down state. Clock configuration pins remain active in power-down allowing
the crystal oscillator to be disabled if desired.
7.3.8 Full-Duplex Mode
In full-duplex mode the modulator and demodulator (HART mode) or encoder and decoder (FOUNDATION
FIELDBUS or PROFIBUS PA mode) are simultaneously enabled. This allows a self-test feature to verify
functionality of the transmit and receive signal chains to improve system diagnostics.
7.3.9 I/O Selection
The DAC8742H implements both SPI and UART interfaces. Only one interface is active at a time for the
DAC8742H. The interface mode is selected by the IF_SEL pin: a logic high on this pin sets the device to SPI
mode and a logic low sets the device to UART mode. An internal pull-down resistor is included to ensure powerup in a known state, by default the pull-down sets the interface to UART mode. If changing I/O modes after
power-up, a reset command should be issued on RST.

7.3.10 Jabber Inhibitor
The DAC8742H implements a Jabber Inhibitor feature in FOUNDATION FIELDBUS or PROFIBUS PA modes
which prevents the encoder from continuously transmitting data on the bus for longer than a programmed
threshold controlled by the UART or SPI interface. In SPI mode this threshold is programmed by the
PAFF_JABBER register, in UART mode this threshold is programmed by the four byte initialization sequence
before each transmission. This is described in further detail in the Device Functional Modes and Register Map
sections.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 UART Interfaced HART
When interfacing the HART modem via the UART interface, the device can be thought of as a simple UART-toHART or HART-to-UART direct feedthrough converter. The UART data is transmitted and received at 1200
BAUD, which is matched to the HART FSK input and output signals.
The HART communication protocol is a half-duplex protocol which means that either the modulator or
demodulator is active, and never simultaneously enabled. The device arbitrates over which component of the
modem is active at all times based on activity on the HART bus. Bus activity is interfaced to the host controller
through the CD and RTS pins.
By default when RTS is high the demodulator is active and the modulator is inactive. When a valid carrier is
detected and data is being received by the modem, the CD pin is toggled high and binary UART data is provided
at the output. If a request to send is issued by toggling the RTS pin low while CD is high, the demodulator
remains at priority and any data provided at the UART input is ignored. When CD is low no valid carrier is
present and when RTS is brought low the modulator is activated and UART input data is latched into the
modulator and placed onto the HART bus.
7.4.2 UART Interfaced FOUNDATION FIELDBUS / PROFIBUS PA
FOUNDATION FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS PA are half-duplex communication protocols where only the encoder
or decoder are active at any time and the DAC8742H arbitrates over which path is active. When interfacing the
FOUNDATION FIELDBUS or PROFIBUS PA modem via the UART interface, data placed in the transmit FIFO is
automatically placed on the FF/PA bus until the FIFO is empty any time the device is not receiving data,
assuming correct data format.
When receiving data the decoder will expect a preamble byte(s) and a start delimiter byte. These bytes, as well
as the stop byte, will be stripped from the UART communication and only the first data byte will be transmitted to
start the data packet. The host controller must use a timer to detect the end of the packet. Each byte transmitted
on the UART will be at 57.6 kHz BAUD and byte spacing of 256 us. If a new byte has not been started within 512
us it can be assumed that the incoming packet has ended.
The device expects to see a four byte sequence to initiate transmission: 0xEA followed by 0x80-0x9F, where bits
4:3 of the second byte configure an interrupt threshold for the transmit FIFO level and bits 2:0 set the number of
preamble bytes to be transmitted. The third byte contains the information to configure the Jabber Inhibitor
followed by the final byte of 0xAE. To send inverted Manchester encoded data the first byte, 0xEA, is inverted to
0x15 and the first three bits of the second byte are inverted such that the range of values for the second byte are
from 0x60-0x7F. The functionality of bits 4:3 and 2:0 and the Jabber Inhibitor byte remain the same and the final
byte is inverted to 0x51. The details concerning this four byte sequence are explained in the tables below.

The JABBER_TIMEOUT bits control the timeout period for the Jabber Inhibitor. If a value of 0x0 is programmed
the Jabber Inhibitor is disabled. Otherwise the timer will be programmed in 2.048ms increments such that the
timeout can be calculated as shown below. If the Jabber Inhibitor triggers the CD pin will be taken high. The CD
pin will be returned to logic low when the silence period of 3 seconds has ended.
TimeOut = JABBER_TIMEOUT x 2.048ms
(1)
The encoder will begin transmitting data once the following conditions are met: a valid four-byte transmission
initiation sequence has been sent to the device, the FIFO is not empty, and the device is not receiving data.
Transmission will begin by sending the preamble byte(s) followed by a start delimiter. Then, the encoder will
begin to remove data from the FIFO – this creates at least a five-byte lag of the encoder with respect to the
UART.
During transmission of a packet the UART must take care to ensure that the FIFO does not become empty
before the packet is complete. The encoder transmits at a BAUD rate of 31.25 kHz or 256 µs per byte in the
FIFO so the UART must keep up with this rate. The four-byte sequence that initiates a transmission includes
setting a transmit FIFO threshold in bits 4:3. When the FIFO level is less than or equal to this threshold the
UART_RTS pin will be taken high, this can be leveraged to ensure the FIFO is not prematurely empty. Once the
FIFO is empty a stop delimiter is placed on the bus. Once the FIFO is empty a new packet can be initiated with a
new four-byte transmission initiation sequence.
The device expects UART BAUD rate of 57.6 kHz. This BAUD rate is faster than the 31.25 kHz BAUD rate
specified by FOUNDATION FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS PA, therefore FIFO overflow is possible. In order to
prevent FIFO overflow, the UART_RTS pin FIFO threshold alarm can be leveraged by never adding more data to
the FIFO than it can contain based on the programmed alarm threshold.
7.4.3 SPI Interfaced HART
When interfacing the HART modem via the SPI interface, the device utilizes transmit and receive FIFOs that are
9-bits wide and 16 locations deep to buffer all HART data.
The HART communication protocol is half-duplex protocol which means that either the modulator or demodulator
is active, and never simultaneously enabled. The device arbitrates over which component of the modem is active
at all times based on activity on the HART bus. Bus activity is interfaced to the host controller through the IRQ
pin and MODEM STATUS register.
By default the demodulator is active and the modulator is inactive. When a valid carrier is detected and data is
being received by the modem, the CD bit (bit 1) in the MODEM STATUS register is set high. If the CD bit (bit 1)
in the MODEM IRQ MASK register is set to 0, this will also cause the IRQ pin to toggle as programmed in the
status CONTROL register. The IRQ pin may be programmed to be edge sensitive or level sensitive, the polarity
of the signal is also programmable. When the IRQ pin toggles, the MODEM STATUS register should be read to
determine the source of the interrupt. Receive data can be read from the RECEIVE FIFO by issuing an SPI read
command.

Alternatively, the CD pin can be ignored by setting the CD bit (bit 1) in the MODEM IRQ MASK register to a 1. In
this mode the IRQ pin will not toggle when the CD bit in the MODEM STATUS register is a 1. Instead, a
RECEIVE FIFO read event can be triggered by the RECEIVE FIFO level threshold. This is achieved by
programming the FIFO LEVEL SET register (bits 7:4) to the desired threshold value from 1-15, if a full FIFO
(level 16 threshold) is desired the M2D FIFO FULL alarm can be used instead. If the M2D FIFO LEVEL bit (bit 7)
in the MODEM IRQ MASK register is set to 0, the IRQ pin will toggle and the MODEM STATUS register should
be read to determine the source of the interrupt. Receive data can then be read from the RECEIVE FIFO by
issuing an SPI read command.
If data is placed in the transmit FIFO while the demodulator is active and the CD bit is high, the data remains in
the FIFO until the modulator is activated. To request that the modulator is activated and the demodulator is
deactivated the RTS bit (bit 0) in the MODEM CONTROL register should be set high. When the modulator is
activated and the demodulator is deactivated the clear to send, or CTS, bit (bit 0) in the MODEM STATUS
register is set high. If the CTS bit (bit 0) in the MODEM IRQ MASK register is set to a 0 this will cause the IRQ
pin to toggle, indicating that transmit FIFO data will begin to be placed on the bus.
The level of the transmit FIFO may be monitored in order to avoid buffer overflow. This can be done either by
watching for a buffer full or buffer threshold event. To monitor by a FIFO level threshold the FIFO LEVEL SET
register (bits 3:0) can be programmed to the desired threshold value from 1-15. If the D2M FIFO LEVEL bit (bit
4) in the MODEM IRQ MASK register is set to a 0, this will cause the IRQ pin to toggle. Similarly an alarm can be
triggered based on the D2M FIFO FULL bit in the MODEM STATUS register.
7.4.4 SPI Interfaced FOUNDATION FIELDBUS / PROFIBUS PA
FOUNDATION FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS PA are half-duplex communication protocols where only the encoder
or decoder are active at any time and the DAC8742H arbitrates over which path is active. When interfacing the
FOUNDATION FIELDBUS or PROFIBUS PA encoder via SPI interface, data is placed in transmit and receive
FIFOs that are each 16-bytes deep to buffer all data.
When receiving data the decoder will expect a preamble byte(s) and a start delimiter byte, followed by the data
bytes for the packet, and concluded with a stop delimiter byte. All of these bytes are placed into the RECEIVE
FIFO where bits 7:0 represent the data and bit 8 is used as a special bit to indicate the start of a packet, with
data 0x014D, the end of a packet, with data 0x0126, or a half-bit slip, with data 0x0100. If a half-bit slip occurs it
is recommended to discard the packet. A timer is not necessary to detect the end of receiving a packet in SPI
mode because the stop delimiter is included in the RECEIVE FIFO data.
In order to prevent RECEIVE FIFO overflow, alarms are available to watch a threshold of the FIFO or when the
FIFO is full. If the FIFO is full it is possible for data to be lost. This is achieved by programming the FIFO LEVEL
SET register (bits 7:4) to the desired threshold value from 1-15, if a full FIFO (level 16 threshold) is desired the
M2D FIFO FULL alarm can be used instead. If the M2D FIFO LEVEL bit (bit 7) in the MODEM IRQ MASK
register is set to 0, the IRQ pin will toggle and the MODEM STATUS register should be read to determine the
source of the interrupt. Receive data can then be read from the RECEIVE FIFO by issuing an SPI read
command.
The encoder will begin to send data by sending the preamble byte(s) followed by a start delimiter when the
TRANSMIT FIFO is not empty and the device is not receiving data. The number of preamble bytes used in the
packet is controlled by the PAFF PREAMBLE bits (bits14:12) in the MODEM CONTROL REGISTER. The
polarity of the Manchester encoded data can also be programmed by the PAFF POLARITY bit (bit 15) in the
MODEM CONTROL REGISTER. After transmitting the preamble byte(s) and start delimiter the encoder will
begin taking data from the TRANSMIT FIFO.
During transmission the SPI controller must take care to ensure that the TRANSMIT FIFO does not become
empty before the packet is complete. When the TRANSMIT FIFO is empty a stop delimiter is placed on the bus.
The level of the transmit FIFO may be monitored in order to avoid buffer overflow. This can be done either by
watching for a buffer full or buffer threshold event. To monitor by a FIFO level threshold the FIFO LEVEL SET
register (bits 3:0) can be programmed to the desired threshold value from 1-15. If the D2M FIFO LEVEL bit (bit
4) in the MODEM IRQ MASK register is set to a 0, this will cause the IRQ pin to toggle. Similarly an alarm can be
triggered based on the D2M FIFO FULL bit in the MODEM STATUS register.

The Jabber Inhibitor threshold can be programmed by the PAFF_JABBER register (address 0x27). The 8-bit
value programmed in this register can be used to calculate the threshold using the equation below. When the
timeout triggers the JAB_ON bit in the STATUS register will be taken high and transmission will be blocked for
the 3 second timeout period. The JAB_OFF bit will go high when the timeout period has expired. Both JAB_ON
and JAB_OFF bits trigger and IRQ event, meaning the IRQ pin will be triggered for both events.
TimeOut = JABBER_TIMEOUT x 2.048ms

7.4.5 Interface
7.4.5.1 UART
The behavior of the UART interface changes based on whether the device is operating in HART mode or in
FOUNDATION FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS PA mode.
In HART mode, the device expects 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 odd parity bit, and 1 stop bit or an 8O1 UART
character format. The transmit path of the device acts as a direct feedthrough of the UART input to the HART
FSK output, therefore the UART BAUD rate from the host controller must be 1200Hz ±1% as required by the
HART standard. The receive path of the device will also operate at 1200Hz ±1%.
In FOUNDATION FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS PA mode the UART interface expects 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no
parity bit, and 1 stop bit or an 8N1 UART character format. In this mode the UART interfaces transmit and
receive FIFOs so the BAUD rate is not required to match the 31.25 kHz BAUD used by FOUNDATION
FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS PA. In this mode the expected transmit and receive UART BAUD is 57.6 Hz ±2.5%.
7.4.5.1.1 UART Carrier Detect
The behavior of the carrier detect or CD pin changes depending on whether the device is in HART mode or
FOUNDATION FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS PA mode.
In HART mode the pin operates as a carrier detect pin. When a valid carrier is detected and the modem is
receiving data the CD pin is taken high. When the CD pin is high, UART data sent to the device and the request
to send, or RTS, pin will be ignored until the carrier is no longer present.
In FOUNDATION FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS PA the CD pin operates as a carrier detect pin when not in
transmit mode. When the CD pin is high, UART data sent to the device will be ignored until the carrier is no
longer present. When in transmit mode the CD pin functions as an alarm indicator that the jabber inhibitor has
triggered and further UART transmission data will be ignored. In general if the CD pin is high the host controller
should not be sending transmit data to the device.
7.4.5.2 SPI
The SPI interface can operate on SCLK speeds up to 12.5 MHz, but the frame-rate must be greater than 2442
ns in HART mode and 3000 ns in FOUNDATION FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS PA mode. Frames must contain at
least 24-bits without CRC enabled and 32-bits with CRC enabled. The data within the frame is right justified,
meaning that upon the rising edge of CS the right-most, or last, 24-bits or 32-bits will be evaluated as the input
data word. Two modes of SPI are supported by the interface: clock polarity 0 and clock phase 1 or clock polarity
1 and clock phase 0.
The SDO pin will output data on the rising edge of SCLK or the falling edge of CS. SDO will always provide
information from the previous frame, if the previous frame was a read then the output data will be the requested
data. If the previous write was a command or register write, that data will be repeated. This allows a method for
the user to verify what was written to the device. If CRC is enabled and write data is being repeated on SDO, the
CRC provided during the previous frame will be output – not a newly calculated CRC.
The SPI frame structure is shown in the figure below. The frame includes a read/write bit, followed by a 7-bit
address, then 16-bit write data for a write frame or don’t care bits for a read frame. If CRC is enabled, an
additional 8-bits are placed at the end of the frame containing the CRC word.

7.4.5.2.1 SPI Cyclic Redundancy Check
The SPI interface includes an optional CRC mode to enhance the reliability of the interface by blocking
erroneous commands sent to the device due to noise or other errors sources. When writing to or reading from
the device the last 8-bits in the frame contain the CRC word which is calculated based on the polynomial
x8+x2+x+1. If a bad CRC word is included in a write-frame to the device, the frame will be ignored. When reading
from the device, the host controller should check the CRC word to validate the frame.
Read commands with a bad CRC value will output 0x80000000 and, in the case of a receive FIFO read, prevent
data from leaving the FIFO and subsequently being lost.
7.4.5.2.2 SPI Interrupt Request
SPI interfaced devices include an interrupt request, or IRQ, pin to communicate the occurrence of a variety of
events to the host controller. The behavior of the IRQ pin is controlled by the CONTROL register and MODEM
IRQ MASK register.
The CONTROL register allows the host controller to configure the IRQ pin as level sensitive or edge sensitive via
the IRQ LEVEL bit (bit 2). For both level sensitive and edge sensitive modes, the polarity of the IRQ pin can be
set via the IRQ POLARITY bit (bit 3) in the CONTROL register.
The MODEM IRQ MASK register allows the controller to decide which events are able to trigger the IRQ pin to
toggle. If a logic 0 is written to the respective bit, that event is allowed to toggle the IRQ pin. If a logic 1 is written
to the respective bit, the event is masked from the IRQ pin.
When an event occurs the IRQ pin signal, in the case of level-sensitive configurations, is latched and the IRQ pin
voltage stays at logic high until the status has been reset, or cleared, by reading the contents of the
MODEM_STATUS register. In the case of edge-sensitive configurations a pulse is generated any time a new
event is detected.

event is set to a logic 1 in this register. The status bits are sticky, meaning they are not cleared unless a 1 is
written to the corresponding bit position, except for carrier detect, or CD, which responds based on the
presences of a carrier, the FIFO level registers, which respond based on the conditions of the FIFOs, and
JAB_OFF and JAB_ON which represent the current status of the jabber inibhior. CTS will assert after RTS is set
and no carrier is present if not operating in full-duplex mode.

8 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.
8.1 Application Information
The DAC8742H family of devices integrates modem functionality for several largely used Industrial protocols:
Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART), FOUNDATION Fieldbus (FF), and PROFIBUS (PA). The
different modes are set via the CLK_CFGx pins of the device that allow the device to either enter HART or PAFF
mode. In HART mode, a 1200-/2200-Hz HART FSK Signal is modulated and demodulated, while the PAFF mode
communicates via a 31.25 Kbit/s Manchester coded/encoded signal. The small package sizes, wide temperature
range and low quiescent current make this device an ideal candidate for applications in Industrial Process
Control and Automation.
8.1.1 Design Recommendations
Local power supply decoupling is recommended by placing 10-µF capacitors on the IOVDD and AVDD supply
lines, and 0.1-µF capacitors close to the DAC8742H supply pins. Ceramic capacitor types such as C0G or X7R
are recommended for its optimal performance across temperature, and very low dissipation factor. DC bias
characteristics of the capacitors should also be considered when selecting passive components, such as the
voltage rating and equivalent series resistance (ESR).
8.1.2 Selecting the Crystal/Resonator
Both communication modes, HART and PAFF, require different clocking frequencies for correct operation:
HART – 1.2288 MHz or 3.686 MHz, PAFF – 4 MHz. In addition to selecting the communication mode, the
CLK_CFGx and XEN pins also select whether an internal oscillator or external clock source is configured for
device operation. The configuration table is explained in Table 1. Accuracy over the applications temperature
range should be considered when selecting the external crystal or resonator. Furthermore, crystals with a low
drift specification over the desired application temperature range should also be selected when using the
DAC8742H devices in HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and PROFIBUS PA applications as communication timing
is critical. In order to reduce quiescent current consumption, the XTAL nets should be optimized during layout to
reduce any length that may increase net capacitance. This increase in capacitance is directly proportion to
current consumption.
8.1.3 Included Functions and Filter Selection
As a highly integrated device, the DAC8742H not only includes the modulation and demodulation capabilities for
the previously described industrial protocols, but also includes an internal reference, and integrated receive
bandpass filter, with other aforementioned functions. In HART mode, an internal amplifier provides high output
drive capability, and can drive a wide range of purely capacitive loads, ranging from 5 nF to 22 nF. The lower
value specified in the load range is to ensure output stability. Two different filter configurations, external and
internal, are achievable through the BPF_EN digital input -- logic high on this pin enables the internal bandpass
filter. The external filter configuration is shown in Figure 32. The example provided displays the DAC8742H
device configured with an external reference and external bandpass filter.

SBAS940 – DECEMBER 2018
8.2.1 Design Requirements
The application presented in Figure 34 represents a loop-powered, 2-wire, smart 4-mA to 20-mA transmitter that
commonly resides in factory control and industrial automation sectors. In this application, the DAC8742H enables
a smart interface by providing HART communication, which is responsible for modulating two-way digital
information that encapsulate a wide variety of data, including device/sensor information, calibration data, and
system diagnostic information. This circuit has been successfully HART certification and registered with the
FieldComm Group.
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 DAC8742H HART Modem
In this design the DAC8742H internal reference and bandpass filter was chosen to optimize board area,
consequently reducing form factor and cost. X7R, 10% accurate, bypass capacitances of 1-µF and 0.1-µF values
were chosen for the reference and supplies, respectively.
The DAC8742H device interfaces with the MSP430FR5969, or other similar host controller, through a standard
UART interface. The DAC8742H digital pins connected through this interface include UART_RTS, UART_OUT
(TX), UART_IN (RX), and CD.
The remaining portion of the schematic includes other TI devices that aid in the realization of a highly accurate 4mA to 20-mA, 2-wire transmitter. This combination of circuitry is ideally suited for remote signal conditioning of a
wide variety of sensors and transducers, including thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, and strain gauge bridges.
The two-wire transmitter is powered from an external DC power supply that is connected via the two BUS supply
lines. The transmitter communicates by sourcing a 4-mA to 20-mA current through the connected bus, and back
to the central host, which is typically a PLC analog input module. This expressed range of 4 mA to 20 mA is
typically employed to adhere to industry standard, and ensures that the transmitter receives a minimum of 4 mA
for correct powered operation.

The A2 operational amplifier employs negative feedback to ensure potentials at both input nodes, V+ and V-, are
equivalent. This establishes the set of KCL equations (1) – assuming no HART communication, VHART = 0 V.
I1 = VDAC/(25.6k) + VREF/(102.4k)

DAC8742H
SBAS940 – DECEMBER 2018

A2 also drives the base of the NPN BJT, Q1, which enables current to flow from its collector through emitter pins
and through the R8 resistor, while maintaining an equivalent potential drop from its input nodes to the net
represented by TP4. This ensures that the combined voltage drop across R9 and R11 is equivalent to the
combined drop of R10 and R12.
Using this relationship, along with current Equation 3 and Equation 4, IOUT is calculated as follows:
I2 = I1 *(1.80k + 180)/(10 + 10) = I1*(1.980k/20) = I1*99
IOUT = I1 + I2 = [VDAC/(25.6k) + VREF/(102.4k)] + I1*99 = [VDAC/(25.6k) + VREF/(102.4k)]*(100)
(4)
(5)
For a VREF value of 4.096 V, the zero-scale portion of the transfer function, [VREF/(102.4k)]*(100), translates to
4 mA, while the span, [VDAC/(25.6k)]*100, encompasses 16 mA. This final product is a system capable of
sourcing 4 mA to 20 mA, which is dependent on DAC output voltage. The value of R4 is responsible for
converting the 500-mV p-p HART signal into a 1-mA p-p frequency shift keyed (FSK) signal that resides on top of
the 4-mA to 20-mA analog current signal.
8.2.2.3 Regulator
The primary supply for the transmitter is the TPS7A4101 device, which is a 50-V input, 50-mA Single output lowdropout linear regulator with very low quiescent current, 25 µA. The device supplies a well-regulated voltage rail
(1% accuracy), operating within an extended temperature range of –40°C to 125°C, and also withstands and
maintains regulation during very high and fast voltage transients. In this design the LDO converts the external
supply to a 5-V rail that is used by the DAC8830, LM4132 and OPA333/OPA335. The 200-Ω resistor that
separates the loop supply from the LDO acts as a current limiting resistor at startup and additionally improves the
overall receiver impedance of the design.
Generally, series references are preferred over shunt references because of their lower power consumption; in
this case the LM4132 exhibits a maximum of 60-µA quiescent current. Moreover, the device has an initial
accuracy of 0.05% with a specified temperature coefficient of 10 ppm/°C or less, and is capable of operating with
these metrics at an extended temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.
In order to generate a 3.3-V supply for the DAC8742H, the TPS7B6933-Q1, a low-dropout linear regulator with
low quiescent current, is incorporated into the design. This LDO is capable of operating over a wide temperature
range of –40°C to 125°C, while exhibiting a maximum quiescent value of 25 µA over this temperature range.
8.2.2.4 DAC
After sufficient bypass, this precision reference voltage is applied to the VREF pin of the DAC8830 device. An
accurate reference along with an accurate DAC are largely responsible for the overall accuracy of the current
loop, as any accuracy errors associated with the DAC will propagate through the rest of the signal chain and
decrease the accuracy of the solution. In this case, the DAC8830, a 16-bit voltage-output DAC with excellent
linearity (1 LSB INL), low glitch, low noise, and fast settling was chosen to set the base line performance of the
design.
8.2.2.5 Amplifiers
Next, the voltage output is buffered with the OPA333 CMOS operation amplifier, which features near-zero drift
over time and temperature, low quiescent current (17 µA), and single supply operation with rail-to-rail output that
swings within 50 mV of the supply rail.
As with the OPA333, the OPA335 was chosen due to its excellent DC accuracy specifications. These parameters
include low input bias current, low offset voltage, and high CMRR/PSRR. In addition to these DC specifications,
the OPA335 features an operating bandwidth of up to 2 MHz, which provides ample margin for HART
communication.
8.2.2.6 Diodes
For transient voltage protection, a 40-V bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode is placed across
the BUS lines of the design. Certain criteria should be considered when making this diode selection, such as the
diode’s working voltage, breakdown voltage, leakage current and power rating. In addition to these parameters,
leakage current should also be factored into the design as it will impact the accuracy of the analog current loop.

SBAS940 – DECEMBER 2018
2-wire polarity protection is also employed by using the DSRHD10 as a diode bridge rectifier. The placement of
this component ensures that the current loop will always correctly operate regardless of the arrangement of input
connections. As with other elements, leakage and biasing voltage should be considered as it will affect system
accuracy and compliance voltage.
8.2.2.7 Passives
Among the passives included in the design, the gain setting resistors should be chosen to exhibit tight tolerances
in order to achieve high accuracy. These resistors -- R4, R5, R6, R9, R11, R10, and R12 -- are primarily
responsible for setting the gain of the current loop, along with primary path of the output current flow. Since the
biased transistor, Q1, is responsible for sourcing most of the output current, components in the path of this
current flow should be chosen with appropriate power ratings. In this case R8 is a 0.25-W resistor.
8.2.3 Application Curves
Five hundred datapoints were taken on five different boards, producing the 4 to 20-mA transfer function below in
Figure 36. The total unadjusted error (TUE) of the transmitters is displayed in Figure 37.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The DAC8742H can operate with analog supplies from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and digital supplies from 1.71 V to 5.5 V,
enabling interfacing host controller platforms with low voltage digital logic. For applications that are particularly
focused on reducing power dissipation in the modem, it is suggested to use the lowest supply voltage available
for both analog and digital supplies.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Precision designs require careful layout, the list below provides some insight into good layout practices.
• All Power Supply pins should be bypassed to ground with a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor. The typical
recommended bypass capacitance is 0.1 to 1 µF ceramic with a X7R or NP0 dielectric.
• Power supply and Reference bypass capacitors should be placed close to terminals to minimize inductance and
optimize performance.
• A high-quality ceramic type NP0 or X7R is recommended for its optimal performance across temperature, and
very low dissipation factor.
• The digital and analog sections should have proper placement with respect to the digital and analog
components. The separation of analog and digital circuitry will allow for better design and practice as it will
ensure less coupling into neighboring blocks, and will minimize the interaction between analog and digital return
currents.
