3 Description
The DAC8812 is a dual, 16-bit, current-output digitalto-analog converter (DAC) designed to operate from
a single 2.7-V to 5.5-V supply.
Relative Accuracy: 1 LSB Max
Differential Nonlinearity: 1 LSB Max
2-mA Full-Scale Current ±20%,
With VREF = ±10 V
0.5-μs Settling Time
Midscale or Zero-Scale Reset
Separate 4Q Multiplying Reference Inputs
Reference Bandwidth: 10 MHz
Reference Dynamics: –105-dB THD
SPI™-Compatible 3-Wire Interface:
50 MHz
Double Buffered Registers to Enable
Simultaneous Multichannel Update
Internal Power-On Reset
Industry-Standard Pin Configuration
The applied external reference input voltage VREF
determines the full-scale output current. An internal
feedback resistor (RFB) provides temperature tracking
for the full-scale output when combined with an
external I-to-V precision amplifier.
A double-buffered, serial data interface offers highspeed, 3-wire, SPI and microcontroller compatible
inputs using serial data in (SDI), clock (CLK), and a
chip-select (CS). A common level-sensitive load DAC
strobe (LDAC) input allows simultaneous update of all
DAC outputs from previously loaded input registers.
Additionally, an internal power-on reset forces the
output voltage to zero at system turnon. An MSB pin
allows system reset assertion (RS) to force all
registers to zero code when MSB = 0, or to midscale
code when MSB = 1.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The DAC8812 contains two 16-bit, current-output, digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Each DAC has its own
independent multiplying reference input. The DAC8812 uses a 3-wire, SPI-compatible serial data interface, with a
configurable asynchronous RS pin for midscale (MSB = 1) or zero-scale (MSB = 0) preset. In addition, an LDAC
strobe enables two channel simultaneous updates for hardware synchronized output voltage changes.

8.3.1 Digital-to-Analog Converters
The DAC8812 contains two current-steering R-2R ladder DACs. Figure 30 shows a typical equivalent DAC. Each
DAC contains a matching feedback resistor for use with an external I-to-V converter amplifier. The RFBX pin is
connected to the output of the external amplifier. The IOUTX pin is connected to the inverting input of the external
amplifier. The AGNDX pin should be Kelvin-connected to the load point in the circuit requiring the full 16-bit
accuracy.

Feature Description (continued)
The DAC is designed to operate with both negative or positive reference voltages. The VDD power pin is only
used by the logic to drive the DAC switches on and off. Note that a matching switch is used in series with the
internal 5 kΩ feedback resistor. If users are attempting to measure the value of RFB, power must be applied to
VDD in order to achieve continuity. The DAC output voltage is determined by VREF and the digital data (D)
according to Equation 1:
D
VOUT = - VREF ´
65 536
(1)
Note that the output polarity is opposite of the VREF polarity for dc reference voltages.
The DAC is also designed to accommodate ac reference input signals. The DAC8812 accommodates input
reference voltages in the range of –15 V to 15 V. The reference voltage inputs exhibit a constant nominal input
resistance of 5 kΩ, ±20%. On the other hand, DAC outputs IOUTA and B are code-dependent and produce
various output resistances and capacitances.
The choice of external amplifier should take into account the variation in impedance generated by the DAC8812
on the amplifiers' inverting input node. The feedback resistance, in parallel with the DAC ladder resistance,
dominates output voltage noise. For multiplying mode applications, an external feedback compensation
capacitor, CFB (4 pF to 20 pF typical), may be needed to provide a critically damped output response for step
changes in reference input voltages.
Figure 15 shows the gain vs frequency performance at various attenuation settings using a 3 pF external
feedback capacitor connected across the IOUTX and RFBX pins. In order to maintain good analog performance,
power-supply bypassing of 0.01 μF, in parallel with 1 μF, is recommended. Under these conditions, clean power
supply with low ripple voltage capability should be used. Switching power supplies is usually not suitable for this
application due to the higher ripple voltage and PSS frequency-dependent characteristics. It is best to derive the
DAC8812 5-V supply from the system analog supply voltages (do not use the digital 5-V supply); see Figure 31.

8.3.2 Power-On Reset
When the VDD power supply is turned on, an internal reset strobe forces all the Input and DAC registers to the
zero-code state or midscale, depending on the MSB pin voltage. The VDD power supply should have a smooth
positive ramp without drooping, in order to have consistent results, especially in the region of VDD = 1.5 V to
2.3 V. The DAC register data stays at zero or midscale setting until a valid serial register data load takes place.

8.4.1 Serial Data Interface
The DAC8812 uses a 3-wire (CS, SDI, CLK) SPI-compatible serial data interface. Serial data of the DAC8812 is
clocked into the serial input register in an 18-bit data-word format. MSB bits are loaded first. Table 1 defines the
18 data-word bits for the DAC8812.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
Data is placed on the SDI pin, and clocked into the register on the positive clock edge of CLK subject to the data
setup and data hold time requirements specified in the Interface Timing specifications of the Electrical
Characteristics. Data can only be clocked in while the CS chip select pin is active low. For the DAC8812, only
the last 18 bits clocked into the serial register are interrogated when the CS pin returns to the logic high state.
Because most microcontrollers output serial data in 8-bit bytes, three right-justified data bytes can be written to
the DAC8812. Keeping the CS line low between the first, second, and third byte transfers will result in a
successful serial register update.
When the data is properly aligned in the shift register, the positive edge of the CS initiates the transfer of new
data to the target DAC register, determined by the decoding of address bits A1 and A0. For the DAC8812,
Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, and Figure 1 define the characteristics of the software serial interface.

Only the last 18 bits of data clocked into the serial register (address + data) are inspected when the CS line positive edge returns to
logic high. At this point an internally-generated load strobe transfers the serial register data contents (bits D15-D0) to the decoded DACinput-register address determined by bits A1 and A0. Any extra bits clocked into the DAC8812 shift register are ignored; only the last 18
bits clocked in are used. If double-buffered data is not needed, the LDAC pin can be tied logic low to disable the DAC registers.

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
This design features one channel of the DAC8812 followed by a four-quadrant circuit for multiplying DACs. The
circuit conditions the current output of an MDAC into a symmetrical bipolar voltage. The design uses an op amp
in a transimpedance configuration to convert the MDAC current into a voltage, followed by an additional amplifier
in a summing configuration to apply an offset voltage.

Figure 35. Four-Quadrant Multiplying Application Circuit
9.2.1 Design Requirements
Using a multiplying DAC requires a transimpedance stage using an amplifier with minimal input offset voltage.
The tolerance of the external resistors varies depending on the goals of the application, but for optimal
performance with the DAC8812 the tolerance should be 0.1% for all of the external resistors. The summing stage
amplifier also requires low input-offset voltage and enough slew rate for the output range desired.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The first stage of the design converts the current output of the MDAC (IOUT) to a voltage (VOUT) using an amplifier
in a transimpedance configuration. A typical MDAC features an on-chip feedback resistor sized appropriately to
match the ratio of the resistor values used in the DAC R-2R ladder. This resistor is available using the input
shown in Figure 35 called RFB on the MDAC. The MDAC reference and the output of the transimpedance stage
are then connected to the inverting input of the amplifier in the summing stage to produce the output that is
defined by Equation 2.

9.2.3 Application Curves
Figure 36 shows the output voltage vs code of this design, and Figure 37 shows the output error vs code. Notice
that the error gets worse as the output code increases because the contribution of the DAC gain error increases
with code.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
This device can operate within the specified supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The power applied to VDD
should be well-regulated and low-noise. In order to further minimize noise from the power supplies, a strong
recommendation is to include a 100-pF to 1-nF capacitor and a 0.1-μF to 1-μF bypass capacitor very close to the
VDD pin. The current consumption of the VDD pin, the short-circuit current limit, and the load current for these
devices are listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. Choose a power supply for these devices to meet the
aforementioned current requirements.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
A precision analog component requires careful layout, adequate bypassing, and clean, well-regulated power
supplies. The DAC8812 offers single-supply operation, and is often used in close proximity with digital logic,
microcontrollers, microprocessors, and digital signal processors. The more digital logic present in the design and
the higher the switching speed, the more difficult it is to keep digital noise from appearing at the output. This
device has three ground pins: two for analog ground (AGNDA and AGNDB) and one for digital ground (DGND),
which are pinned out on opposite sides of the device. Ideally, the analog grounds would be connected directly to
an analog ground plane, and similarly the digital ground connected to a digital ground plane. These planes would
be separated until they were connected at the power-entry point of the system. The power applied to VDD should
be well-regulated and low-noise. 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 as their internal logic switches states. This noise can easily couple into the DAC output voltage through
various paths between the power connections and analog output. VDD should be connected to a power-supply
plane or trace that is separate from the connection for digital logic until the analog and digital supplies are
connected at the power-entry point. In addition, adding both a 100-pF to 1-nF capacitor and a 0.1-μF to 1-μF
bypass capacitor is strongly recommended. In some situations, additional bypassing may be required, such as a
100-μF electrolytic capacitor or even a pi filter made up of inductors and capacitors – all designed essentially to
provide low-pass filtering for the supply and remove the high-frequency noise.
The compensation capacitors shown on the layout in Figure 38 are not required for normal operation of the DAC.
However, overshoot of the amplifier output voltage on large code changes is possible. This can be mitigated by
using a compensation capacitor between the IOUTx and RFBx nodes, as shown implemented here.
Performance of the DAC8812 can be compromised by grounding and PCB lead trace resistance. The 16-bit
DAC8812 with a 10-V full-scale range has an LSB size of 153 µV. The ladder and associated reference and
analog ground currents for a given channel can be as high as 2 mA. With this 2-mA current level, a series wiring
and connector resistance of only 76 mΩ causes 1 LSB of voltage drop. The preferred PCB layout for the
DAC8812 is to have all AGNDx pins connected directly to an analog ground plane at the device. The
noninverting input for the transimpedance amplifier of each channel should also either connect directly to the
analog ground plane or have an individual sense trace back to the AGNDx pin connection. The feedback resistor
trace to the transimpedance amplifier should also be kept short and have low resistance in order to prevent IR
drops from contributing to gain error. Therefore, it is important to place the transimpedance amplifier as close to
the DAC as possible. This attention to wiring and placement ensures the optimal performance of the DAC8812.
