DAC7750, DAC8750
SBAS538C – DECEMBER 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2018
DACx750 Single-Channel, 12- and 16-Bit Programmable Current Output
Digital-to-Analog Converters for 4-mA to 20-mA Current Loop Applications
1 Features
3 Description
•
The DAC7750 and DAC8750 are low-cost, precision,
fully-integrated 12-bit and 16-bit digital-to-analog
converters
(DACs)
designed
to
meet
the
requirements
of
industrial
process-control
applications. These devices can be programmed as a
current output with a range of 4 mA to 20 mA, 0 mA
to 20 mA, or 0 mA to 24 mA. The DAC7750 and
DAC8750 include reliability features such as CRC
error checking on the serial peripheral interface
(SPI™) frame, a watchdog timer, an open circuit,
compliance voltage, and thermal alarm. In addition,
the output current can be monitored by accessing an
internal precision resistor.

Packages
These devices include a power-on-reset function to
ensure that the device powers up in a known state
(IOUT is disabled and in a Hi-Z state). The CLR
terminal sets the current output to the low end of the
range if the output is enabled. Program the zero and
gain registers to digitally calibrate the device in the
end system. The output slew rate is also
programmable by register. These devices can
superimpose an external HART® signal on the current
output, and can operate with a 10-V to 36-V supply.
All versions are available in both 40-pin VQFN and
24-pin TSSOP packages.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The DAC8750 and DAC7750 are low-cost, precision, fully-integrated, 16-bit an 12-bit digital-to-analog converters
(DACs) designed to meet the requirements of industrial process control applications. These devices can be
programmed as a current output with a range of 4 mA to 20 mA, 0 mA to 20 mA, or 0 mA to 24 mA. The
DAC8750 and DAC7750 include reliability features such as CRC error checking on the serial peripheral interface
(SPI) frame, a watchdog timer, an open circuit, compliance voltage, and thermal alarm. In addition the output
current can be monitored by accessing an internal precision resistor.
These devices include a power-on-reset function to ensure powering up in a known state (both IOUT is disabled
and in a high-impedance state). The CLR pin sets the current output to the low-end of the range if the output is
enabled. Zero code error and gain error calibration registers can be programmed to digitally calibrate the device
in the end system. The output slew rate is also programmable. These devices can AC couple an external HART
signal on the current output and can operate with either a 10-V to 36-V supply.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 DAC Architecture
The resistor-string section is simply a string of resistors, each with the same value, from REFIN to GND, as
Figure 52 shows. This type of architecture makes sure the DAC is monotonic. The 16-bit (DAC8750) or 12-bit
(DAC7750) binary digital code loaded to the DAC register determines at which node on the string the voltage is
tapped off before it is fed into the voltage-to-current conversion stage. The current-output stage converts the
voltage output from the string to current. When the output is disabled, it is in a high-impedance (Hi-Z) state. After
power-on, the output is disabled.
To Current Output
Figure 52. DAC Structure: Resistor String
8.3.2 Current Output Stage
The current output stage consists of a preconditioner and a current source, as shown in Figure 53. This stage
provides a current output according to the DAC code. The output range can be programmed as 0 mA to 20 mA,
0 mA to 24 mA, or 4 mA to 20 mA. Use an external transistor to reduce the power dissipation of the device. The
maximum compliance voltage on IOUT equals (AVDD – 2 V). In single power-supply mode, the maximum AVDD
is 36 V, and the maximum compliance voltage is 34 V. After power on, the IOUT terminal is in a Hi-Z state.

The current-output range is normally set according to the value of the RANGE bits in the Control Register (see
Setting Current-Output Ranges for more details).
8.3.3 Internal Reference
The DACx750 includes an integrated 5-V reference with a buffered output (REFOUT) capable of driving up to
5 mA (source or sink) with an initial accuracy of ±5 mV maximum and a temperature drift coefficient of 10
ppm/°C maximum.
8.3.4 Digital Power Supply
An internally generated 4.6-V supply capable of driving up to 10 mA can be output on DVDD by leaving the
DVDD-EN terminal unconnected. This eases the system power supply design when an isolation barrier is
required to generate the digital supply. It can be used to drive isolation components used for the digital data lines
and other miscellaneous components like references and temp sensors; see Figure 62 for an example
application.
If an external supply is preferred, the DVDD terminal (which can be driven up to 5.5 V in this case) can become
an input by tying DVDD-EN to GND. See Electrical Characteristics for detailed specifications.
8.3.5 DAC Clear
The DAC has an asynchronous clear function through the CLR terminal that is active-high and allows the current
output to be cleared to zero-scale code. When the CLR signal returns to low, the output remains at the cleared
value. The preclear value can be restored by pulsing the LATCH signal without clocking any data. A new value
cannot be programmed until the CLR terminal returns to low. To avoid glitches on the output, disable the output
by writing a 0 to the OUTEN bit of the Control Register before changing the current range.
8.3.6 Power-Supply Sequence
The DACx750 has an internal power-on reset (POR) circuitry for both the digital DVDD and analog AVDD
supplies. This circuitry makes sure that the internal logic and power-on state of the DAC power-up to the proper
state independent of the supply sequence. The recommended power-supply sequence is to first have the analog
AVDD supply come up, followed by the digital supply DVDD. DVDD can also come up first as long as AVDD
ramps to at least 5 V within 50 µs. If neither of these conditions can be satisfied, TI recommends that a software
reset command be issued via the SPI bus after both AVDD and DVDD are stable.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.7 Power-On Reset
The DACx750 incorporates two internal POR circuits for the DVDD and AVDD supplies. The DVDD and AVDD
POR signals are ANDed together so that both supplies must be at their minimal specified values for the device to
not be in a reset condition. These POR circuits initialize internal logic and registers, as well as set the analog
outputs to a known state while the device supplies are ramping. All registers are reset to their default values.
Typically the POR function can be ignored, as long as the device supplies power-up and maintains the specified
minimum voltage levels. However, in the case of a supply drop or brownout, the DACx750 can have an internal
POR reset event or lose digital memory integrity. Figure 54 represents the threshold levels for the internal POR
for both the DVDD and AVDD supplies.

Figure 54. Relevant Voltage Levels for POR Circuit
For the DVDD supply, no internal POR occurs for nominal supply operation from 2.7 V (supply min) to 5.5 V
(supply max). For the DVDD supply region between 2.4 V (undefined operation threshold) and 0.8 V (POR
threshold), the internal POR circuit may or may not provide a reset over all temperature conditions. For the
DVDD supply below 0.8 V (POR threshold), the internal POR resets if the supply voltage remains less than 0.8 V
for approximately 1 ms.
For the AVDD supply, no internal POR occurs for nominal supply operation from 10 V (supply min) to 36 V
(supply max). For AVDD supply voltages between 8 V (undefined operation threshold) and 1 V (POR threshold),
the internal POR circuit may or may not provide a reset over all temperature conditions. For the AVDD supply
below 1 V (POR threshold), the internal POR resets if the supply voltage remains less than 1 V for approximately
1 ms. In case the DVDD or AVDD supply drops to a level where the internal POR signal is indeterminate, either
power cycle the device, or toggle the LATCH terminal and then perform a software reset. Both options initialize
the internal circuitry to a known state and provide proper operation.
8.3.8 Alarm Detection
These devices also provide an alarm detection feature. When one or more of following events occur, the ALARM
terminal goes low:
• The current output load is in open circuit,
• The voltage at IOUT reaches a level where accuracy of the output current is compromised. This condition is
detected by monitoring internal voltage levels of the IOUT circuitry and is typically below the specified
compliance voltage headroom (defined as the voltage drop between the AVDD and IOUT terminals) minimum
of 2 V,
• The die temperature exceeds 142°C,
• The SPI watchdog timer exceeds the timeout period (if enabled), or
• The SPI frame error CRC check encounters an error (if enabled).

Feature Description (continued)
When the ALARM terminals of multiple DACx750 devices are connected together to form a wired-AND function,
the host processor must read the status register of each device to know all the fault conditions that are present.
Note that the thermal alarm has hysteresis of approximately 18°C. After being set, the alarm only resets when
the die temperature drops below 124°C.
8.3.9 Watchdog Timer
This feature is useful to make sure that communication between the host processor and the DACx750 has not
been lost. It can be enabled by setting the WDEN bit of the Configuration Register to 1. The watchdog timeout
period can be set using the WDPD bits of the configuration register, as shown in Table 1. The timer period is
based off an internal oscillator with a typical value of 8 MHz.
Table 1. Watchdog Timeout Period
WDPD BITS
WATCHDOG TIMEOUT PERIOD (Typical)
00
10 ms
01
51 ms
10
102 ms
11
204 ms
If the watchdog timer is enabled, these devices must have an SPI frame with 0x95 as the write address byte
written to the device within the programmed timeout period. Otherwise, the ALARM terminal asserts low and the
WD-FLT bit of the status register is set to 1. Note that the ALARM terminal can be asserted low for any of the
different conditions as explained in Alarm Detection. The WD-FLT bit is reset to 0 with a software reset, by
disabling the watchdog timer, or by powering down the device.
When using multiple DACx750 devices in a daisy-chain configuration, the open-drain ALARM terminals of all
devices can be connected together in a wired-AND function. The watchdog timer can be enabled in any number
of the devices in the chain although enabling it in one device is sufficient. The wired-AND ALARM terminal may
get pulled low because of the simultaneous presence of different trigger conditions in the daisy-chained devices.
The host processor reads the status register of each device to know all the fault conditions present in the chain.
8.3.9.1 The DACx750 Shares the SPI Bus With Other Devices (Non-DACx750)
This section is only applicable for applications where the DACx750 is digitally interfaced via an SPI bus that has
other devices on the bus that are not DACx750 devices.
As explained in the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) section of this document, the DACx750 digital interface
constantly clocks in data regardless of the status of the LATCH pin, and data are unconditionally latched on the
rising edge of the LATCH pin. A rising edge on the LATCH pin is the only way the device takes action on clocked
data.

SBAS538C – DECEMBER 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2018
The watchdog timer can also be enabled without a rising edge on the LATCH pin if a specific pattern, shown in
Table 2, is present on DIN and SCLK. When this pattern enables the watchdog timer, this enabled status is not
reflected in the configuration register. During this condition, the watchdog timer cannot be enabled or disabled
through writes to the configuration register. Additionally, the alarm condition can only be cleared through a
power-on reset event triggered either by a reset command or cycling power to the device. The ALARM pin also
indicates that the watchdog timer has triggered.

If the watchdog timer feature is enabled as described in the Watchdog Timer section along with full compliance
of the watchdog timer, then the pattern shown in Table 2 on DIN and SCLK does not have any effect.
8.3.10 Frame Error Checking
In noisy environments, error checking can be used to check the integrity of SPI data communication between the
DACx750 and the host processor. To enable this feature, set the CRCEN bit of the Configuration Register to 1.
The frame error checking scheme is based on the CRC-8-ATM (HEC) polynomial x8 + x2 + x + 1 (that is,
100000111). When error checking is enabled, the SPI frame width is 32 bits, as shown in Table 3. Start with the
default 24-bit frame, enable frame error checking, and then switch to the 32-bit frame. The normal 24-bit SPI
data are appended with an 8-bit CRC polynomial by the host processor before feeding to the device. For a
register readback, the CRC polynomial is output on the SDO terminals by the device as part of the 32-bit frame.
Table 3. SPI Frame with Frame Error Checking Enabled
BIT 31:BIT 8
BIT 7:BIT 0
Normal SPI frame data
8-bit CRC polynomial
When in CRC mode the DACx750 calculates CRC words every 32 clocks, unconditional of when the LATCH pin
toggles. The DACx750 decodes the 32-bit input frame data to compute the CRC remainder. If no error exists in
the frame, the CRC remainder is zero. When the remainder is non-zero (that is, the input frame has single- or
multiple-bit errors), the ALARM terminal asserts low and the CRC-FLT bit of the status register is set to 1. The
ALARM terminal can be asserted low for any of the different conditions as explained in Alarm Detection. The
CRC-FLT bit is reset to 0 with a software reset, by disabling the frame error checking, or by powering down the
device. In the case of a CRC error, the specific SPI frame is blocked from writing to the device.
Frame error checking can be enabled for any number of DACx750 devices connected in a daisy-chain
configuration. However, it is recommended to enable error checking for either none or all devices in the chain.
When connecting the ALARM terminals of multiple devices, forming a wired-AND function, the host processor
reads the status register of each device to know all the fault conditions present in the chain. For proper
operation, the host processor must provide the correct number of SCLK cycles in each frame, taking care to
identify whether or not error checking is enabled in each device in the daisy-chain.
If the CRC mode is enabled on the first frame issued to the device after power-up, TI suggests that a no
operation, or NOOP, command be issued to the device in order to reset the SPI clock and SPI frame alignment
in the event that any transients on the SCLK line are interpreted as SCLK periods. A NOOP command can be
issued to the device by simply toggling the LATCH pin without any SCLK periods.

8.3.10.1 The DACx750 Shares the SPI Bus With Other Devices (Non-DACx750)
This section is only applicable for applications where the DACx750 is digitally interfaced via an SPI bus that has
other devices on the bus that are not DACx750 devices, and there are multiple DACx750s in a daisy-chain
configuration.
As explained in the SPI Shift Register section of this document, the DACx750 digital interface constantly clocks
in data regardless of the status of the LATCH pin, and data are unconditionally latched on the rising edge of the
LATCH pin. A rising edge on the LATCH pin is the only way the device takes action on clocked data.
The frame error checking (CRC) mode can also be enabled without a rising edge on the LATCH pin if a specific
pattern, shown in Table 4, is present on DIN and SCLK. When this pattern enables CRC mode, this enabled
status is not reflected in the configuration register. During this condition the CRC mode cannot be enabled or
disabled through writes to the configuration register. Additionally, the alarm pin and status registers do not
indicate CRC alarm conditions, and frames with incorrect or missing CRC bits are not disregarded as described
in the Frame Error Checking section. During this condition the devices in daisy-chain output data on the SDO pin
on a 32-bit frame structure instead of 24 bits. The CRC mode can only be cleared through a power-on reset
event triggered either by a reset command or by cycling power to the device.

If the CRC feature is enabled as described in the Frame Error Checking section along with full compliance of the
frame error checking, then the pattern shown in Table 4 on DIN and SCLK does not have any effect.
8.3.11 User Calibration
The device implements a user-calibration function (enabled by the CALEN bit in the Configuration Register) to
trim system gain and zero errors. The DAC output is calibrated according to the value of the gain calibration and
zero calibration registers. The range of gain adjustment is typically ±50% of full-scale with 1 LSB per step. The
gain register must be programmed to 0x8000 to achieve the default gain of 1 because the power-on value of the
register is 0x0000, equivalent to a gain of 0.5. The zero code adjustment is typically ±32,768 LSBs with 1 LSB
per step. The input data format of the gain register is unsigned straight binary, and the input data format of the
zero register is twos complement. The gain and offset calibration is described by Equation 4.
CODE _ OUT = CODE •
User _ GAIN + 215
216
+ User _ ZERO
where
•
•
•
•
•
CODE is the decimal equivalent of the code loaded to the DAC data register at address 0x01
N is the bits of resolution (16 for DAC8750 and 12 for DAC7750)
User_ZERO is the signed 16-bit code in the zero register
User_GAIN is the unsigned 16-bit code in the gain register
CODE_OUT is the decimal equivalent of the code loaded to the DAC (limited between 0x0000 to 0xFFFF for
DAC8750 and 0x000 to 0xFFF for DAC7750)
(4)
This is a purely digital implementation and the output is still limited by the programmed value at both ends of the
current output range (set by the RANGE bits, as described in Setting Current-Output Ranges). In addition, the
correction only makes sense for endpoints inside of the true device end points. To correct more than just the
actual device error, for example a system offset, the valid range for the adjustment changes accordingly and
must be taken into account.

New calibration codes are only applied to subsequent writes to the DAC data register. Updating the calibration
codes does not automatically update the DAC output. Additionally, TI recommends configuring the calibration
codes along with the slew rate control prior to applying new DAC data.
8.3.12 Programmable Slew Rate
The slew rate control feature controls the rate at which the output current changes. With the slew rate control
feature disabled, the output changes smoothly at a rate limited by the output drive circuitry and the attached load.
To reduce the slew rate, enable the slew rate control feature through bit 4 of the Control Register. With this
feature enabled, the output does not slew directly between the two values. Instead, the output steps digitally at a
rate defined by bits [7:5] (SRSTEP) and bits [11:8] (SRCLK) of the Control Register. SRCLK defines the rate at
which the digital slew updates; SRSTEP defines the amount by which the output value changes at each update.
If the DAC data register is read while the DAC output is still changing, the instantaneous value is read. Table 5
lists the slew rate step-size options. Table 6 summarizes the slew rate update clock options.

The time required for the output to slew over a given range is expressed as Equation 5.

Slew Time =
Step Size · Update Clock Frequency · LSB Size
where
•
•
Slew Time is expressed in seconds
Output Change is expressed in amps (A) for IOUT or volts (V) for VOUT
(5)
When the slew rate control feature is enabled, all output changes happen at the programmed slew rate. This
configuration results in a staircase formation at the output. If the CLR terminal is asserted, the output slews to the
zero-scale value at the programmed slew rate. Bit 1 (SR-ON) of the Status Register can be read to verify that the
slew operation has completed. The update clock frequency for any given value is the same for all output ranges.
The step size, however, varies across output ranges for a given value of step size because the LSB size is
different for each output range. Figure 55 shows an example of IOUT slewing at a rate set by the above
described parameters. In this example for the DAC8750 (LSB size of 305 nA for the 0-mA to 20-mA range), the
settings correspond to an update clock frequency of 6.9 kHz and a step size of 128 LSB. As is shown in the case
with no capacitors on CAP1 or CAP2, the steps occur at the update clock frequency (6.9 kHz corresponds to a
period close to 150 µs), and the size of each step is approximately 38 µA (128 × 305 nA). Calculate the slew
time for a specific code change by using Equation 5.

Apply the desired programmable slew rate control setting prior to updating the DAC data register because
updates to the DAC data register in tandem with updates to the slew rate control registers can create race
conditions that may result in unexpected DAC data.

The current output range is set according to Table 7.

Note that changing the RANGE bits at any time causes the DAC data register to be cleared.
8.4.2 Current-Setting Resistor
Resistor RSET (used to convert the DAC voltage to current) illustrated in Figure 53 determines the stability of the
output current over temperature. If desired, an external, low-drift, precision 15-kΩ resistor can be connected to
the ISET-R terminal and used instead of the internal RSET resistor.
8.4.3 BOOST Configuration for IOUT
Figure 56 illustrates an external NPN transistor used to reduce power dissipation on the die. Most of the load
current flows through the NPN transistor with a small amount flowing through the on-chip PMOS transistor based
on the gain of the NPN transistor. This configuration reduces the temperature induced drift on the die and
internal reference and is an option for use cases at the extreme end of the supply, load current, and ambient
temperature ranges.
The inclusion of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) adds an additional open loop gain to internal amplifier A2
(see Figure 53) and thus, can cause possible instability. Adding series emitter resistor R2 decreases the gain of
the stage created by the BJT and internal R3 resistor (see Figure 53) especially for cases where RLOAD is a short
or a very small load, such as a multimeter. Recommended values for R1, R2, and C1 in this circuit are 1 kΩ, 30 Ω
and 22 nF, respectively. An equivalent solution is to place R2 (with a recommended value of 3 kΩ instead of
30 Ω) in series with the base of the transistor instead of the configuration provided in Figure 56. Note that there is
some gain error introduced by this configuration; see Figure 15, Figure 16 and Figure 17. Use the internal
transistor in most cases because the values in Electrical Characteristics are based on the configuration with the
internal on-chip PMOS transistor.

8.4.4 Filtering The Current Output
The DACx750 provides access to internal nodes of the circuit; see Figure 61. Place capacitors on these
terminals and AVDD to form a filter on the output current, reducing bandwidth and the slew rate of the output,
especially useful for driving inductive loads. However, to achieve large reductions in slew rate, use the
programmable slew rate to avoid having to use large capacitors. Even in that case, use the capacitors on CAP1
and CAP2 to smooth out the stairsteps caused by the digital code changes as shown in Figure 57. However,
note that power supply ripple also couples into the devices through these capacitors.

8.4.5 Output Current Monitoring
Many applications, especially for functional safety, require monitoring of the output current to ensure it stays
close to the programmed value. Place a sense resistor in series to the output to measure the voltage across it.
However, this resistor reduces the compliance voltage available for the load. The DACx750 provides access to
an internal precision resistor (R3 in Figure 53) through the R3-SENSE and BOOST terminals to perform analog
readback for monitoring the output current. Measure the voltage between the R3-SENSE and BOOST terminals
and divide by the value of the R3 resistor to determine the magnitude of the output current. The R3 resistor has a
typical value of 40 Ω (see Figure 39 for a plot of resistance versus temperature) with a temperature drift

coefficient of 40 ppm/°C (see Figure 40 for a histogram of R3 resistance temperature drift). The R3 resistor is
tested to stay within the minimum (36 Ω) and maximum (44 Ω) resistance values shown in the R3 Resistor
section of Electrical Characteristics. To remove the tolerance error, perform a simple calibration by programming
a certain value of output current, measuring the voltage across R3-SENSE and BOOST, and calculating the
exact value of R3.
8.4.6 HART Interface
On the DACx750, HART digital communication can be modulated onto the input signal by the methods shown in
the following subsections. For more detail, see Implementing HART Communication with the DAC8760 Family.
8.4.6.1 Implementing HART in 4-mA to 20-mA Mode
This method is limited to the case where the RANGE bits of the Control Register are programmed to the 4-mA to
20-mA range. Some applications require going beyond the 4-mA to 20-mA range. In those cases, refer to the
methods described in the next subsection.
The external HART signal (ac voltage; 500 mVPP, 1200 Hz, and 2200 Hz) can be capacitively coupled in through
the HART-IN terminal and transferred to a current that is superimposed on the 4-mA to 20-mA current output.
The HART-IN terminal has a typical input impedance of 35 kΩ that together with the input capacitor used to
couple the external HART signal, forms a filter to attenuate frequencies beyond the HART band-pass region. In
addition to this filter, an external passive filter is recommended to complete the filtering requirements of the
HART specifications. Figure 58 shows the output current versus time operation for a typical HART signal. Table 8
specifies the performance of the HART-IN terminal.

the Control Register are set to the 4-mA to 20-mA range. If it is desirable to implement HART in all current-output
modes, refer to Implementing HART In All Current Output Modes in Application Information.

operation, and watchdog timer refer to commands and are not explicit registers. For more information on these

Programming (continued)
8.5.1 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The device is controlled over a versatile four-wire serial interface (SDI, SDO, SCLK, and LATCH) that operates at
clock rates of up to 30 MHz and is compatible with SPI, QSPI™, Microwire, and digital signal processing (DSP)
standards. The SPI communication command consists of a write address byte and a data word for a total of 24
bits. The timing for the digital interface is illustrated in Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3.
8.5.1.1 SPI Shift Register
The default frame is 24 bits wide (see Frame Error Checking for 32-bit frame mode) and begins with the rising
edge of SCLK that clocks in the MSB. The subsequent bits are latched on successive rising edges of SCLK. The
default 24-bit input frame consists of an 8-bit address byte followed by a 16-bit data word as shown in Table 9.
Table 9. Default SPI Frame
BIT 23:BIT 16
BIT 15:BIT 0
Address byte
Data word
The host processor must issue 24 bits before it issues a rising edge on the LATCH terminal. Input data bits are
clocked in regardless of the LATCH terminal and are unconditionally latched on the rising edge of LATCH. By
default, the SPI shift register resets to 0x000000 at power on or after a reset.
8.5.1.2 Write Operation
A write operation is accomplished when the address byte is set according to Table 10. For more information on
the DACx750 registers, see the Register Maps section.

(NOP) command to clock out an addressed register; see Figure 2. To read from a register, the address byte and
data word is as shown in Table 11. The read register value is output MSB first on SDO on successive falling
edges of SCLK.

8.5.1.4 Stand-Alone Operation
SCLK can operate in either continuous or burst mode, as long as the LATCH rising edge occurs after the
appropriate number of SCLK cycles. Providing more than or less than 24 SCLK cycles before the rising edge of
LATCH results in incorrect data being programmed into the device registers, and incorrect data sent out on SDO.
The rising edge of SCLK that clocks in the MSB of the 24-bit input frame marks the beginning of the write cycle,
and data are written to the addressed registers on the rising edge of LATCH.
8.5.1.5 Daisy-Chain Operation
For systems that contain multiple DACx750s, use the SDO terminal to daisy-chain several devices. This mode is
useful in reducing the number of serial interface lines in applications that use multiple SPI devices. Daisy-chain
mode is enabled by setting the DCEN bit of the control register to 1. By connecting the SDO of the first device to
the SDI input of the next device in the chain, a multiple-device interface is constructed, as Figure 59 shows.

Figure 59. Three DACx750s in Daisy-Chain Mode
Like stand-alone operation, the SPI daisy-chain write operation requires one frame, and the read requires two
frames. The rising edge of SCLK that clocks in the MSB of the input frame marks the beginning of the write
cycle. When the serial transfer to all devices is complete, LATCH is taken high. This action transfers the data
from the SPI shift registers to the device internal register of each DACx750 in the daisy-chain. However, the
number of clocks in each frame in this case depends on the number of devices in the daisy chain. For two
devices, each frame is 48 clocks; the first 24 clocks are for the second DAC and the next 24 bits are for the first
DAC. For a readback, the data are read from the two DACs in the following 48-bit frame; the first 24 clocks are
for the second DAC, and the next 24 clocks are for the first DAC. The input data to the DACs during the second
frame can be another command or NOP. Similar to the two-device case described, for N devices, each frame is
N × 24 clocks, where N is the total number of DACx750s in the chain.
The serial clock can be a continuous or gated clock. A continuous SCLK source can only be used if LATCH is
taken high after the correct number of clock cycles. In gated clock mode, a burst clock containing the exact
number of clock cycles must be used, and LATCH must be taken high after the final clock to latch the data.

8.6.1.3 DAC Registers
The DAC registers consist of a DAC data register (Table 16), a DAC gain calibration register (Table 17), and a
DAC zero calibration register (Table 18). User calibration as described in the User Calibration section is a feature
that allows for trimming the system gain and zero errors. Table 16 through Table 18 show the DAC8750, 16-bit
version of these registers. The DAC7750 (12-bit version) register contents are located in DB15:DB4. For
DAC7750, DB3:DB0 are don't care bits when writing and zeros when reading.

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
9.1.1 Implementing HART in All Current Output Modes
If it is desirable to implement HART irrespective of the RANGE bit settings, there are two ways to do this.
9.1.1.1 Using CAP2 Terminal
The first method of implementing HART is to couple the signal through the CAP2 pin, as shown in Figure 60.
Note that this pin is only available in the 40-pin VQFN package

Figure 60. Implementing HART on IOUT Using the CAP2 Terminal
In Figure 60, R3 is nominally 40 Ω, and R2 is dependent on the current output range (set by the RANGE bits),
described as follows:
• 4-mA to 20-mA range: R2 = 2.4 kΩ (typical)
• 0-mA to 20-mA range: R2 = 3 kΩ (typical)
• 0-mA to 24-mA range: R2 = 3.6 kΩ (typical)
The purpose of the 12.5-kΩ resistor is to create a filter when CAP1 and CAP2 are used.
To insert the external HART signal on the CAP2 terminal, an external ac-coupling capacitor is typically connected
to CAP2. The high pass filter 3-dB frequency is determined by the resistive impedance looking into
CAP2 (R2 + 12.5 kΩ) and the coupling-capacitor value. The 3-dB frequency is 1 / (2 × π × [R2 + 12.5 kΩ] ×
[Coupling Capacitor Value]).
When the input HART frequency is greater than the 3-dB frequency, the ac signal is seen at the plus input of
amplifier A2 and is therefore seen across the 40-Ω resistor. To generate a 1-mA signal on the output therefore
requires a 40-mV peak-to-peak signal on CAP2. Because most HART modems do not output a 40-mV signal, a
capacitive divider is used in Figure 60 to attenuate the FSK signal from the modem. In Figure 60, the high-pass
cutoff frequency is 1 / (2 × π × [R2+ 12.5 kΩ] × [C1 + C2]). There is one disadvantage to this approach: if the
AVDD supply is not clean, any ripple on it could couple into the part.

9.1.1.2 Using the ISET-R Pin
The second method to implement HART is to couple the HART signal through the ISET-R terminal when IOUT is
operated using an external RSET resistor. The FSK signal from the modem is ac-coupled into the terminal through
a series combination of Rin and Cin as shown in Figure 61.

The magnitude of the ac-current output is calculated with Equation 6.

where
•
•
VHART is the amplitude of the HART FSK signal from the modem
k is a constant that represents the gain transfer function from the ISET-R terminal to the IOUT terminal and
depends on the selected current output range as follows:
– k = 60 for the 4-mA to 20-mA range
– k = 75 for the 0-mA to 20-mA range
– k = 90 for the 0-mA to 24-mA range
(6)
The series input resistor and capacitor form a high-pass filter at the ISET-R terminal. Select Cin to make sure
that all signals in the HART extended-frequency band pass through unattenuated.

9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
Analog I/O modules are used by programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and distributed control systems (DCSs)
to interface to sensors, actuators, and other field instruments. These modules must meet stringent electrical
specifications for both performance as well as protection. These outputs are typically current loops based on the
4-mA to 20-mA range. Common error budgets accommodate 0.1% full-scale range total unadjusted error (%
FSR TUE) at room temperature. Designs which desire stronger accuracy over temperature frequently implement
calibration. Often times the PLC back-plane provides access to a 12-V to 36-V analog supply from which a
majority of supply voltages are derived.
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Figure 63 illustrates a common generic solution for realizing these desired voltage and current output spans.

Figure 63. Generic Design for Typical PLC Current and Voltage Outputs
The current output circuit is comprised of amplifiers A1 and A2, MOSFETs Q1 and Q1, and the three resistors
RSET, RA, and RB. This two-stage current source enables the ground-referenced DAC output voltage to drive the
high-side amplifier required for the current-source.
The high-level of integration of the DACx750 family lends itself very well to the design of analog output modules,
offering simplicity of design and reducing solution size. The DACx750 integrates all of the components shown in
Figure 63 allowing a software configurable current output driver. Figure 62 illustrates an example circuit design
for such an application using the DACx750 for the current output driver.
The design uses two triple channel isolators (ISO7631FC) to provide galvanic isolation for the digital lines to
communicate to the main controller. Note that these isolators can be driven by the internally-generated supply
(DVDD) from the DACx750 to save components and cost. The DACx750 supplies up to 10 mA that meets the
supply requirements of the two isolators running at up to 10 Mbps. Note that additional cost savings are possible
if noncritical digital signals such as CLR and ALARM are tied to GND or left unconnected. Finally, a protection
scheme with transient voltage suppressors and other components is placed on all pins which connect to the field.
The protection circuitry is designed to provide immunity to the IEC61000-4 test suite which includes system-level
industrial transient tests. The protection circuit includes transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes, clamp-to-rail
steering diodes, and pass elements in the form of resistors and ferrite beads. For more detail about selecting
these components, refer to Single-Channel Industrial Voltage & Current Output Driver, Isolated, EMC/EMI Tested
Reference Design.
9.2.1.3 Application Curve
The current output circuit was measured in 0-mA to 24-mA mode using an 8.5 digit digital multi-meter to measure
the output while driving a 300-Ω load at 25°C. The measured results are illustrated in Figure 64. The current
output remains within the data sheet specified performance.
The design was also exposed to IEC61000-4 electrostatic discharge, electrically fast transient, conducted
immunity, and radiated immunity tests on both the current and voltage outputs. During each of these tests a 6.5
digit digital multi-meter, set in fast 5.5 digit acquisition mode, was used to monitor the output. Complete data sets
for the voltage and current outputs during these tests are available in Single-Channel Industrial Voltage &
Current Output Driver, Isolated, EMC/EMI Tested Reference Design.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The DACx750 family can operate within the specified single-supply range of 10 V to 36 V applied to the AVDD
pin. The digital supply, DVDD, can operate within the specified supply range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V or be powered by
the internal 4.6-V LDO. Switching power supplies and DC/DC converters often have high frequency glitches or
spikes riding on the output voltage. In addition, digital components can create similar high frequency spikes. This
noise can be easily coupled into the DAC output voltage or current through various paths between the power
connections and analog output. TI recommends including bulk and local decoupling capacitors to further reduce
noise. The current consumption on the AVDD pin and current ranges for the current output are listed in Electrical
Characteristics. The power supply must meet the requirements listed in the Electrical Characteristics table.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
To maximize the performance of the DACx750 in any application, good layout practices and proper circuit design
must be followed. A few recommendations specific to the DACx750 are:
1. As illustrated in Figure 60, CAP2 is directly connected to the input of the final IOUT amplifier. Any noise or
unwanted ac signal routed near the CAP1 and CAP2 terminals could capacitively couple onto internal nodes
and affect IOUT. Therefore, it is important to avoid routing any digital or HART signal traces over the CAP1
and CAP2 traces.
2. Connect the thermal PAD to the lowest potential in the system.
3. Make sure that AVDD has decoupling capacitors local to the respective terminals.
4. Place the reference capacitor close to the reference input terminal.
5. Avoid routing switching signals near the reference input.
6. For designs that include protection circuits:
a. Place diversion elements, such as TVS diodes or capacitors, close to off-board connectors to make sure
that return current from high-energy transients does not cause damage to sensitive devices.
b. Use large, wide traces to provide a low-impedance path to divert high-energy transients away from I/O
terminals.
11.2 Layout Example
Figure 65 shows an example layout for the DAC8760 and DAC7760 devices from TIPD153. A similar layout can
be used for the DACx750 with a few modifications to account for pinout differences.

SBAS538C – DECEMBER 2013 – REVISED JANUARY 2018
11.3 Thermal Considerations
The DACx750 is designed for a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. In cases where the maximum AVDD is
driving maximum current into ground, this junction temperature can be exceeded. Use Equation 7 to determine
the maximum junction temperature that can be reached.
Power dissipation = (TJ max – TA) / θJA
where
•
•
•
TJ max = 150°C
TA is the ambient temperature
θJA is the package-dependent, junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, found in Thermal Information.
(7)
The power dissipation is calculated by multiplying all the supply voltages with the currents supplied, which are
found in the Power Requirements subsection of Electrical Characteristics.
Consider an example: IOUT is enabled, supplying 24 mA into GND with a 25°C ambient temperature, AVDD of
24 V, and DVDD is generated internally. From the Electrical Characteristics, the max value of AIDD = 3 mA when
IOUT is enabled and DAC code = 0x0000. Also, the max value of DIDD = 1 mA. Accordingly, the worst-case
power dissipation is 24 V × (24 mA + 3 mA + 1 mA) = 672 mW. Using the θJA value for the TSSOP package, we
get TJ max = 25°C + (32.3 × 0.672)°C = 46.7°C. At 85°C ambient temperature, the corresponding value of TJ
max is 106.7°C. Using this type of analysis, the system designer can both specify and design for the equipment
operating conditions. Note that for enhanced thermal performance, connect the thermal pad in both packages to
a copper plane.
